electric depot. The building will be 40x60 feet and will consist mainly of one large room. In the front the Secretarys office and a small reception hall will be divided off by a low partition. It is hoped that the building will be completed within 60 days, although it may be 90 days before the new home will be ready for occupancy. When completed the cost of the handsome structure will be in the neighborhood of $4,500.

The building will be worth a great deal more, however, as all the materials to be used have been secured at cost, and a great deal of the labor has been donated by local mechanics. Peck Coffield will supervise the erection of the swell new building, which will be an ornament to the City of Napa, and a credit to the organization which will make its home within its spacious walls.

T. R. DeBolt, a well known and highly esteemed Vallejo lady, died early Monday morning at the home of piend Who Criminally Assaulted her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Weaver, who reside on the Foss Valley road, as the result of a very strange and most unfortunate acci- dent which befell her on Sunday morning on the Atlas Reak grade.

Accompanied by her father, Mrs. DeBolt and her 12-year-old daughter started from the Weaver home for a visit with friends at Oakville. The trip was being made in a light two-seated spring wagon, Mr. Weaver occupying the front seat and driving, while his daughter and grand-daughter were seated on the rear seat. Evidently the back seat was not securely fastened to the body of the wagon, for in going over a bad piece of road it fell off, throwing the woman and little girl backward upon the ground.

The little girl was uninjured, but Mrs. DeBolt received the full forde of the fall upon her neck and spine. Mr. Weaver at once took his daughter, who was unable to move, back to his home, where she steadily grew' worse. At an early hour Monday morning she passed away.

As soon as possible after the accident Dr. Alumbaugh was summoned and attended the injured woman. No inquest was necessary, the physician signing the death certificate. The remains w'ere brought to D. S.

Kysers undertaking parlors on Monday afternoon, and will be shipped to Vallejo on the 3:15 car this afternoon. Mr. DeBolt, who is an employe of the Navy Yard, reached his w'ifes bedside in advance of the Death Angel. ooo Mrs. Ben Doda Arrested at Cloverdale His Name Is Meyers Will Be Brought Here This Morning.

The traveling pill and eye-glass peddler who so cruelly and wantonly assaulted and terribly Injured Mrs. Ben Doda at her home north of Cal-istoga Thursday afternoon, slept in the county jail at Santa Rosa Saturday evening. He wTas arrested at Clover-dale Saturday morning and brought to Santa Rosa on the afternoon train. Constable D. E.

Power will arrive here with the wretched beast on the 10 oclock train this morning. His name is Meyers. For years he has been peddling eye-glasses, patent medicines and other articles throughout Sonoma, Marin, Napa and Solano counties. Of late he has been making Cloverdale his headquarters. He returned there Friday evening after an absence of three or four days.

Meyers admits that he was in Napa county Thursday. Up to midnight Meyers had not been informed that he had been arrested for his brutal assault upon Mrs. Doda. When arrested he was told it was for a gold w'atch swindle with which he recently victimized many persons in the several counties in which he made his peddling trips. Up to the hour of going to press Constable Power and Samuel W.

is the eldest son D. Keig of this city, friends will rejoice AT CAMP. at Power arrives Meyers will be ignorant of the real charge against him. From Constable Pow'er it was learned on Saturday afternoon that Mrs. Doda, who is 20 years old, and who was first attacked by the human monster, is unable to state whether or not Meyers accomplished his dastardly purpose.

Upon taking hold of the frail little woman he dragged her about 75 or 100 feet into an old unoccupied bunk house. After resisting with all the strength possible for some minutes, Mrs. Doda finally became unconscious and has no recollection of what occurred. She is terribly injured as a result of the brutal and unhuman treatment she received, and has been attended a number of times by a physician since the heinous assault took place. Mrs.

Chas. G. Doda, mother-in-law of Meyers first victim, who w'as the subject of his second attack some time later at her home several miles further north, was much more for-tunate than her daughter-in-law. About the time she had been thrown to the floor by her assailant, her husband came in from w'ork, and Meyers made a hasty departure. It was also learned on Saturday that the reported attempted assault upon Miss Cook did not take place on Thursday, but occurred some ten months ago during one of Meyers periodical peddling trips through the valley.

It is reported that on that occasion when the burly itinerant peddler grappled with Miss Cook the young lady broke away from him and fled in terror to a place of safety. When Consable Power left here Saturday afternoon for Santa Rosa it was his intenton to drive to Calistoga at an early hour this morning with his prisoner, and then bring him to the county jail here on the morning train on the west side to-day. But believing that many people at Calistoga were aware of or suspected Powers intention, and learning that the people of the little town at the A WARM IrtLil Equator All-Steel Furnace.
