NAPA^July 29.— Frank H. Spreckels. a
prominent and popular young man of thla
city, committed suicide this morning at
the house of a friend, Mrs. Harriet Keos
ter, by Inhaling Illuminating gas. De
spondency caused by illness and business
reverses. is thought to have been the
cause of the rash act.
The suicide, caused _ a profound sensa
tion in Napa. The- deceased, who was
about CO years of i age,' was secretary of
Napa Aerie of the Eagles and a promi
nent member., of Court Paragon of the
Foresters.-.' > I ¦ '
Spreckcls killed himself by inhaling gas
from ajgas stove. He sat on a chair be
side the: stove and,'' throwing a towel over
his head,, placed .his .mouth over the
burner and turned on the gas. The family
were all away, from the house at the time

HONOLULU, July 29.— The proceedings
in the Supreme Court to-day In the dis
barment cases of Attorneys George A.
Davis and J. A. Magoon assumed an ex
citing and sensational phase at one stage
and hostilities in open court were im
minent. Attorney General Andrews has
prosecuted the charges against the de
fendants with all the vigor at his com
mand and as a consequence has created
some personal enmities. The expectation
of the public* at large has been that seri
ous trouble would develop at the trial.
Davis Is a man of forceful, aggressive
character and he resented the attltud? of
Andrews, who claimed that thfi,dwin-J!ing
of the fortune of the aged and unfortun
ate John Sumner from $110,000 to $30,000
within a few months could be readily
traced to the avarice and unprofessional
conduct of a number of the attorneys en
gaged in defending and opposing his in
terests. The feeling ran so high. to-day
between Davis and Andrews that pistol
talk was Indulged In and Intimations
made of the possibility of settling the
differences of the men outside of the
court room. Happily, however, no oppor
tunity was allowed for a breach of the
peace, but the friends of both gentlemen
are greatly. co%:erned over the future.
The case of Attorney Magoon was sub
mitted and taken under advisement.

PHOENIX. Ariz., July 23.— The most
distastroua flre . that Phoenix • has ex
perienced In a decade broke out at about
2:30 this morning and raged until 6 a. m.
It was practically confined to the dry
goods store of the Alkire. Company and
the plumbing establishment of D. H.Bur
tis. The two stores were situated on
Washington street In the middle of a solid
business block. Both were one-story
buildings, while the surrounding proper
ties are all two-story brick. The store
and stocks were completely destroyed, the
total loss being estimated at $100,000. The
floor to Alkire's did not burn through and
a portion of the reserve stock in the base
ment will be saved unless ruined by
water.
The Alkire stock was estimated at
nearly $70,000, but well insured. Burtls*
stock was valued at $13,000, one-third In
sured. The buildings were worth $20,000.
Insurance unknown. The flre originated
in the back of Burtls* store, caused pre
sumably by spontaneous combustion, as a
quantity of oils, and cotton waste were In
the buildings. Only by the prompt work
of the firemen were the Elllgson block on
the east and the Cotton block on the .west
saved from destruction.. A slight loss was
sustained by tenants by damage from
smoke and water. .

The girl is well developed and would
easily pass for 16. She is described as a
handsome blonde and only'arrlved In this
city a month ago from Italy, where she
had been studying in one of the foremost
colleges of that country. Boragni is
nearly distracted with grief and spent the
night in searching for some clew to her
whereabouts. He stated that his daugh
ter is attending a dressmaking Institu
tion on Market street and during the last
three days he accompanied her to' and
from that place. Yesterday morning the
girl stated that she was a*ble to find her
way without his assistance and started
off unattended:
The grief-stricken father believes his
daughter inadvertently boarded a car of
some other line than the one on which
she should have come home and was car
ried out Into the suburbs. As she speaks
nothing but Italian. It Is possible that she
vainly tried to find her way home or fell
into the hands of unscrupulous persons,
who have decoyed her away. Captain
Martin detailed detectives on the case
and the patrolmen have been Instructed
to keep a close lookout for the child. -At
the time of disappearance she wore a
light brown drees and a white straw hat.
P. Boragnl, a well known wine mer
chant at 1846 Union street, reported to
Captain of Detectives Martin last night
that his 14- year-old daughter, Assunta,
had not returned home from school and
he feared that, owing to the fact that
she is entirely unfamiliar with the Eng
lish language, she was wandering aim
lessly about the streets. ,

There Is a deal of comment concerning
the grand arch or court of honor now in
course of construction at the intersection
of Market, Third and Kearny streets. Re
ports that work would be suspended and
plans changed were caused by a con
ference of the builders and members of
the Board ot Public Works. Practical
men In charge of the work assert that the
steel cables holding the platform over
Market street are capable of sustaining
a much greater strain than will be
placed upon them. Supervisor Horace
Wilson, chairman of the Arch Committee,
reports that the Board of Public Works
acted quite in line with official duty In
making Inquiry concerning the structure.

B1SBEE. Ariz.. July 29.-A dispatch
from Bowie brings news of an apparently
cold-blooded murder committed in the
heart of the San Simon mountains, not
Jar from that town. The body of Frank
CaJdwell, a miner and prospector, was
found yesterday in a secluded spot in the
mountains l-y two prospectors, -who at
once reported it to the authorities at
Bowie. Coroner J. H. Tevis summoned a
jury and visited th© scene. They found
a great r^!e in the back of Caldwell's
head made by a bullet from a rifle. The
man had evidently been dead several
days, as the body was beginning to de
compose. There was a bitter feud be
tween James Gould and his friends and
Caldwell and his friends, and Gould has
boasted many times that he would some
day put Oaldwell under the ground. Gould
always carried a rifle of the same cali
l*T as the tn ! let which was found lodged
in the back of Caldwell's head. The spot
was an ideal one to shoot a man from
ambush and it ,*s believed Caldwell was
killed In this way.
The coroner's jury took Into considera
tion ail of these facts and In their verdict
found that Caldwell had met his death at
the hands of Gould. The latter has not
been eeen in the vicinity of Bowie since
the crime was committed, but cowboys
coming up from the line country report
that they saw on Saturday a man of his
description riding south, who is believed
to have been Gould headed for the line.
Caldwell was last seen on Friday. He
¦was armed when murdered and the fact
that neither his six -shooter nor rifle had
l>een discharged gives color to the sup
position that he was shot by Gould from
ambush He was quick with a gun and
would hardly have permitted such a bit
ter enemy to get the drop on him. Gould
is described as a one-armed man who
ought to be easily identified for that
reason. Officers all along the line are on
.he lookout for him and unless he has
already succeeded in crossing Into Mexico
his capture seems certain.

FRESNO, July 29.-FredT E. O'Brien,
Deputy Coroner under Dr. A. B. Cowan,
has disappeared and the police and
Sheriff's office are both making strenuous
efforts to find him at the instigation of
a number of citizens who were duped by
him. O'Brien came here a couple of
years ago from nobody knew where. He
was a man of rather pleasing personality
and much energy and within a short time
had worked himself up to a fair position
with Stephens & Bean, undertakers. The
first of the present year he was appointed
Deputy Coroner. He had in the mean
time become prominent in fraternal af
fairs. Several weeks ago he went on a
carousal here and was discharged from his
position. Friends sympathizing. with him
offered to back him in .the undertaking
business and several furnished money for
him tot make a payment on stock. He
went to San Francisco and returning said
he had arranged for the purchase of' the
stock. The exact amount of money turned
over to him is not known, but Frank
Shuck, a waiter In the Acme restaurant,
who had $G00 saved up. gave the entire
amount to O'Brien, thinking he was mak
ing a good business investment. O'Brien
went to San Francisco again. Shuck
waited several da>\s for O'Brien's return,
then received a letter in which the un
dertaker said: ¦

" For about two ye«r»
I suffered froni a very obstinate ewe of drapep-
cia," writes R. E. Seoord. Esq.. of 13 Eastern
Ave., Toronto, Ontario. "I tried a p*it nun-
bcr of remedies without «oeces«. I finally lost
f»uh ia them all. t was so far gone that I could
not bear acy solid food on my stomach for a lone
time; felt melancholy and depressed. Could not
*>rp or follow tay oceapetioa (tinsmith). 6ome
four months ago a friend recommended your
'Golden Medical Discovery.* After a week's
trectmest J bad derived so ranch benefit that I
continued the medicine. I nave taken three*
bottles and am convinced it basin my case ac-
complished a permanent core. I can constiro-
tiously recommend it to the thousands of dys-
peptics throughout the land."
Accept no substitute for w Golden Med-
ical Discovery." There is nothing " ju*t
as good" for diseases of the stomach,
blood and lungs.
