San Francisco, Feb. 24.-About 10
o'clock A. NJ, yesterday, Lo1is Han
sen, resident of this city, attempted
to kill his wife at the house of Mr..
in Oakland. The parties
were married, about year ago IN
and moved to this city.
Hansen became addicted to drink so
bad that his wife was compelled to
leave him and take refuge with Mrs.
Giescher. Yesterday Hansen called
at Giescher's for the ostensible pur-
pose of having his wife go with him
to a lawyers Office to draw up di-
vorce papers. AS they came out of
the house Hansen fired two shots at
his wife, both taking effect. He
then attempted to shoot himself, but
the cap missed fire. He then ran to
Broadway wharf, pursued by the
police and an excited crowd, and
threw himself into the water, but
was rescued by some Stevedores near
by and taken to the city prison. Mrs.
Hansen's wounds are not fatal.
Hansen will have a preliminary ex-
as soon as his wife is able
to appear in Court.
