siding in Oakland OH Eighteenth street,
between Castro and Bush, wns sum-
moncd to tho door by loud and en-.
phntic ring at the bell. Himself and
fnmily. consisting OF wife and three
children, the eldest of whom is girl
about 10 years Of ngc. were seated Mt
the time in back pRrlor or sitting
room. Mr.. SheRrcr answered the bell
in person, md with lamp in his left
hnnd, md with slippers on. proceeded
through tho hall and opened tho door,
when ho was Immediately confronted
by Harry Kind, Deputy County Clerk
OF Snn Francisco, aud who, upon being
invited to enter by Mr.. Sbcnrer, struck
that gentleman over the hend with a
ten.imch barrel bennington revolver.
The blow was SO severe TINT Mr..
Shearcr was stunned aud let the
lamp full, shattcring IL 10 pieces
and lcnvinG the hull i'll darkness. I'M
mrdintcIy OIL receiving tho blow AIr.
Shenrcr started along the hallway
toward the rcnr room. Kind following
him nnl firing nj him. At tho second
Hush Of the pistol, Mr.. Shearcr turned
around and clutohed the pistol nnds eu-
irHvorcd to wrcst il from his aSsailuut,
but in This he WINS unsuccessful. Kind
being much tho heavier md Rtouter Of
tho two. They struggled. however,
towards tho rear room, an,l finally ell
tered IL, where Kind continued 10 shoot,
notwithstanding that i'll doing so he
endangered the lives Of Mrs. Shenrcr
and the children, who were present.
In this manner Kind discharged all the

cheerful. Judge Shcnrer, fnthor OF the
mnn assnilcd, entered q complaint this
morning about 10 o'clock, charging
Kind with an assault 10 murder. Kinds
bail was fixed ut $1,000 and the cnse
continued until Monday. Both tho
prisoner md friends nro very rcticent
about tho matter, and the supposition is
that nn intimacy Of criminal character
existed between Sllcnrcr and Kinds
