Hunter Dead; Companion Held
Last Friday John ANDERSON, former gold instructor of the Beresford County Club, and Fred LEVY, former timekeeper for Clark & Henry, went on a hunting trip in the hills back of the Hobart estate. LEVY returned alone and reported to the Hillsborough police that ANDERSON was lost. Later a searching party was organized and ANDERSON’s body was discovered with a bullet-hole in the right temple. LEVY told several conflicting stories, admitting that he knew ANDERSON was death when he reported him missing, and his words and actions have cast suspicion upon him. So much so that, while the verdict of the coroner’s jury at the inquest Wednesday was that Anderson died from a gunshot wound, self-inflicted, the coroner refused to approve the verdict and LEVY is being held by the authorities.

Ejected From Moving Train
Mr. RICHLAND who was recently injured near San Jose by the brutal action of a Southern Pacific conductor in ejecting him from the train while it was in motion, has nearly recovered from his injuries. Mr. RICHLAND, who is employed as a government wine gauger, boarded the train at San Jose, after walking from Agnew’s in order to catch it. He was rather dusty from his long hike, and this couple with the fact that he was unable to readily find his ticket, caused the conducted to class him with the genus hobo and bundle him unceremoniously from the train. He received severe gashes about the head and face in his fall, necessitating a number of stitches at the hospital in San Jose, where he was taken for treatment. One of the nurses in searching his clothing found his ticket in a side pocket of his coat. The Southern Pacific, realizing that its employe’s action was wholly unwarranted, paid the medical and hospital bills of its victim and is said to have tried to square the matter with him, but the prospects are that it will be defendant in a heavy damage suit, with a good change of coming out a loser.
