DESPERADO MAKES BOLD
FIGHT, THEN ENDS LIFE
Commits Suicide Only When
at Bay and Riddled
With Bullets
BATTLES WITH POSSE
Officers Identify Dead Man
as Frank Smith and
Are Disappointed
WILI/XVTS. April 29. — Pursued by ao
axmed poeee of men, and wounded and
bleedlnK from numerous . wounds, an
unknown desperado was brought to
bay et 11 o'clock last night .at/th*
northern limits of town. When brought
to his knee-s by a bullet he dramtically
proclaimed he would never be taken
alive, fired a bullet into his brain arid
expired.
The etranjrer was first seen _ yes
terday morning in front of the home
or Peter Reimerir in Germantown. ' He
stayed about the promises all day. His
action?, excited suspicion, and toward
evening Constable Powers was sent for.
A.s the constable approached the man
said he would not be taken alive and
hacked away. An unknown man and
the constable started In pursuit.' Then
the *trangrer turned as he ran and flre.l
three shots at his pursuers, who were
unarmed. * .
Constable Rchi pot a pistol, followed
the fleeing man and exchanged 30 shots
with him. -Then a message for help
was sent to Willows to the sheriff.
Deputy Sheriff Munroe ai??! Town Mar
ciial JCinkaide went to the assistance
•f the constable. They met the des
perado at I,yman switch, three miles
north of Willows, where they were
hailed by him and told not to come
rear. The officers failed to persuade
the man to surrender and he opened
flr« when they approached.
The officers ran out of ammunition.
Rhez, also out of cartridges, joined
them. Kinkaide went hack to his
hugrsry and drove to Willows for am
munition, leaving Monroe and Rhez to
keep the man in si^ht. They continued
the pursuit the desperado firing when
they came too close. When the county
hospital was reached Klnkaide returned
with ammunition and reinforced by two
more officers and another effort was
made to get the man to surrender, but
he continued toward Willows, firing at
brief intervals
In front of A. Carttenberg's dwelling
the desperado cam* to a -halt, paying he
would go no farther and the officers
\u25a0would have to kill him if they wanted
hSra. He again opened fire and the
posse.' which had surrounded him, be
gan shooting with pistols and shot
puns, and not' until he was desperately
wounded did he cease firing. He had n.
p'ttol in each and and stopped, firing
only when necessary to lo&d. and not
until he was riddled with bullets and
rhot did the unknown outlaw give "up
find shoot himself.
The remains were brought to "vTil-
J-owj $nfl placed in the morgue, where
hundreds of people viewed the body
today. In the man's pockets .were
found numerous cartridges, slungshot.
purse containing $10.50. . cheap ; gold
watch, tin salve box riddled with bul
lets and a two bladed knife.
.The suicide ra* about 35 years of
age, 5 feet 7 Inches tall.- and had light
hair, blue eyesanda crooked nose."
\u25a0v It was thought that the desperado
was Frank Smith, who killed John
Marcovltch In Oakland 10 days ago. but
this theory was shattered late tonight
when, in response to a messag^.^DcS-.
fectlve Holland of- Oakland and Alston*

Both declared at once that ttys-'deAd

FIRETRAP SAM DAVIS
FREED ON TECHNICALITY
Loop Hole in V^Law Clears
Boodlerl of Violating &
Fire : Ordinance ? ;'•
BoodlerSam Davis, proprietor of the
theater flretrap which bears his dis
graced name, escaped the clutches of
the law yesterday and evaded punish
ment for -running his home of Inciner
ation. His defense •in Police Judge
Weller's court was not- built o'n-evi
dence tending to -prove his tinder box
was a trafe- place' for the publicto visit;
Sam Davis (purchase price to corpora
tions wanting supervisors, 111, 250)
slipped through on a thin., technicality.
Fire Marshal Towns . and Chief
Shaughnessy of the fire department, tes
tified that -the', structure, if it may -be
called so. was not constructed in ac
cordance with the supervisorial ordi
nance. ;. ; .?\u25a0«.'.
T. P. O'Dowd of the United Irish so
cieties testified that; he was \u25a0in the
theater March 4 .and that* a perform
ance was given there.
I" -*pite of the evidence adduced by
members of. the fire department that
the theater was constructed in -..viola
tion of the building*, ordinance : and
against the safety of the publk*,' the
jury brought in averdict of not, guilty,
on the basis, probably, of Attorney Mc-
Gowan's -argument that- ordinance 31
repealed ordinance 815, under which the
prosecution 'was laid, and -he therefore
asked that the jury^b'e discharged and
the defendant acquitted. Ward argued
that ordinance 31 was .not in existence
when the was erected rand It
only applied to "buildings to be here
after erected." The jiidsre upheld Ward.
The defense rested its cas.e" on 1 the
evidence for riie prosecution, and Mf;
Go wan .in 'his 'argument intimated that
other "interests had been at work to
get O'-Dowd, to .prosecute the case. The
jury was out about five "minutes and
