He was formerly town clerk of Berkeley, but resigned that positoin to aoept a deputyship under County Clerk Jordan. A year ago he left this position and became a deputy sheriff by appointment by Sheriff White. He served at the jail and in the court rooms rind was an efficient and thoroughly qualified officer.

He was born in Tuolumne county thirty-three years ago, rrut when he was small lad he removed to this city with hid parents who located at Tem-tseal and it was at this place that Koch has made his home for the past twenty-five years. Eight or nine years Tfrevir.us to his election as a constable In was employed in Hagers hay and prain store.

He was well liked by his employers, and by all who knew him. 11!" ran for offfice four years ago and v.as elected to the constablery by a large majority. As a peace officer he gave general satisfaction. He was brave and cool-headed, and thought nothing of danger when in the discharge of his duties. Many of the" criminal class knew Koch and knew him but to fear him.

Many difficult cases fell into his hands, and attended to them with the utmost discretion and cleverness. A man of taciturn disposition, he was withal extremely popular and his followers stood ty him very faithfully. He was quite a sportsman and ah enthusiastic yachtsman. He was a member of the Marine Yacht Club of San I-'ranoisco. In civic affairs he was Intensely interested and did much to firomote the good of Temescal, where hc resided.

He was one of the earliest members of the Temescal Volunteer fire Is-p: rtment and. was always faitbful in the attendance on his duties. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias and was very pop-" ular in the lodge rooms. Since his -lection to the con-stabiery. Koch has been connected with Judge Cliffs court ana won many menus mere, nc was kindly in his treatment of the poor and distressed and yet firm and decided.

It is a well known fact among physicians that examination ot perspiration and urine will tell whether the Individual has been actively using the brain or not Brain work exhausts the phosphates which appear in the excreta above mentioned. AdmEnitrMon of inorganic phosphorus or phosphates does not readily supply the waste, for nature demands that phosphates be made up and blended in food which she fur-n-ihes. Advantage has been ta-ken of this knowledge and a scientific selection of part of the grain has been made, and these have been put through mechanical processes parallel to the processes through which food is passed in its management by the human digestive organs. Therefore the new food is not only ready to serve without cookunig, but it has passed through the process where the starches have been changed to grape sugar, and that with the proteids, organic phosphates, are at once ready to be quickly absorbed and turned to use in vitalizing and "nourishing the part3 of the body like brain, solar plexus, and the delicate nerve centers. The new food has been given the name of Grape-Nuts, and far from being a "Crank's Food," "Invalid's Pood," or anything of tns.t sort.

It is a crisp, sweet novelty, charming to the athlete, brain worker, epicure or invalid. Grape-Nuts can be had of grocers, and a trial dish for breakfast will be found a pleasant experience. FEDERAL PLUM FOR A CAL1F0RN1AN. Kobert A. Frieilrictt is Appointed United Stales Marshal For Alaska.

Over a year ago Sheriff White appointed him a deputy to serve especially In the court rooms.

SCENElT THE MORGUE Never was there a s'ght more gruesome and yet more pathetic than that which presented itself at the morgue today. Grieving friends quietly parsed in and out, and others stood in converse, eulogizing the spirit of the brave men who so suddenly were deprived of life.

Occasionally one would venture in to take the last earthly view of the manghed remains, but such a one returned with tearful eyes, shocked by ttie awfulness of the situation. Back in the inmost recesses of the morgue lie the sparce remains of what were yesterday five esteemed men. a lady and a despised Chinese. Six cold slabs and an unconspicuous box hold them, and seven labeled cards serve i as a guide to show the identity of rh" bodies, there is no resemblance ir i the remains to any human being. They rather appear as chaotic masses of jel- lied flesh, bones and rags.

The three; exceptions are the bodies of Deputy; Sheriff I. C. Cameron. Constable Gus Koch and Mrs. Hill.

These are fairly recogniable, and the general form of There are two rooms in the morgue that con-tain the remains. In one are thg of Mrg Hm Rnd Cajm eron; in the oth--r are the body of Gus Koch and the fragmentary remains of Charles White. George Woodsum and JoR J- Tm.

She was short and slender. Her hair was slightly tmged with gray. The condition of her right side proves conclnsively that she was crushed be- which tore its way through. The clothes are torn and -bloody, the face is slightly burned, and the whole body is scarred and bruised. Over the right eye a gouge has been taken out of the forehead.

In passing to the second room a dif-! ferent and more ghastly scene is ex hibited, which evidences the gigamie force of the explosion. On one slab lies all that is material of Charles White and George Woodsum. This spectacle is horrifying. A bundle of mangled members and brown rags are all that remain of Charlie White. The only Identification marks are the clothes which he formerly wore.
