Snn Francisco.—Louis H. Ardonlto
of the Olympic ciub, who recently woh
the amateur heavyweight wrestUnji
championship of the Pacific coast,
killed with his bare hands a man hts
found rifling a bureau drawer in his
home. The man later was -identifier
U8 Williaitt E. Anderson. He leaves a
widow residing here.
Ardouin told the police that aftef
grappling with Anderson, who was un
armed, for five minutes he applied a
severe wrestling hold to detain him un
til Mrs. Ardouin could ttieplione for
help.
No Charge Is Likely.
No charge is likely ever to be place<i
against Ardouin for the slaying, po
lice said.
Examination of Anderson’s body dis
closed that death apparently was
caused by strangulation, Ardouin hav
ing doubled his neck forward so that
his throat had been pressed against
the collar of a khal^i shirt lie wore.
Ardouin was heartu.oken when he
discoveretl that Andenson was dead.
Will Help Victim’s Wife.
“I’ll do anything in my power for his
wife,” he said. “All I tried to d(» was
to subdue him. He put up a terrible
battle, even after 1 liad got a fulKNel-
<Kon hold on him. I was h<»rribly
shocked when the policemen turne<]
him over and found him dead. I did
mit mean to kill him, although I put all
the pj-essure I could.”
Aniouin lias participated in a nura-
l>er of California wrosriing tourna
ments anJ has wrestled inforniaiiy
men, Confederates home on sick
(urlooghs. They kept turning «ndi
looking down the stre^, suddenly
two oil the sentinels came runnlnig in
and reported that there seemed to be
somthing unusual going On not far
off. In a few moments, there ap
peared a troop of Yankee cavalry,
coming lickety split. Seeing the two
Confederates they unslung their car
bines and began firing, and rushing
ii^ht through the boys, what eared
the brutes. There was one fellow, a
dutchman, riding a fine large horse
evidently a carriage horse unaccus
tomed to the saddle. The boy, to
keep from being run over, threw up
his hands and the horse reared and
bucked. The Hun went up in the air
and ^hen he hit the pommel he let
out a yell of agony and his saddle
bags dropped, the boy was on his
the fence and getting under the house
job, for grabbing the bags, he vaulted
he buried it near the chimney. No,
the Hun never got his bags again,
for when the boys opened them, they
found a feast of things not seen by
them for years, yum, yum, didn’t
they look good and taste better. An
Edam cheese, several bolognas, true
and pure coffee, and a lot of other
things. Not many days afterwards
the boy travelled in a covered wagon
nearly the whole length of the State,
seeing alpng the road carcasses of
horses, cows and hogs shot and left
to rot in the fields. And very often
chimneys alone marking where a hap
py home had been. The boy called
them Sherman’s monuments. The
Capital of the State was still smould
ering. The war was over but the
Hell of Reconstruction was still to
come.

^he knew the great love he. had for

she slowly unfolded it and read.
When she came to the fatal line, it
seemed to the boy that she made a

saw her lips move, and he heard a low

stooping kissed the boy on the fore
