Hartzell left her husband, AXell G. Hart
zell, on account of his Incorporate habits
and failure to provide for her the neces-
sites of life, and took rooms with her
three infant children In the rear OF No. Is
Lewis street. Yesterday morning her hus-
band called upon her and demanded her to
return and live with him. Upon her re-
fusing to do so, Hartzell drew a revolver
and threatened to take his life. The threat
frightened her, and she ran up stairs
screaming to the room where her children
were asleep. He followed, dragged her
down stairs and locked her in the room he
had previously left. He then went up
stairs, crawled into bed with his children,
and shot himself, the ball passing through
his brain. The deceased was native of
Sweden, sc years of age, and frame
maker by occupation.

the river The tug left Mission street
wharf at an early hour yesterday morning
and proceeded up the river as far as the
head of Sherman Island. The northern
portion of the island, from the slough a
mile above Antioch, is almost entirely COW
cred with water, presenting the appearance
of large lake. This water is not from
overflow but sipage. After viewing the
island, the tug went about and returned to
the city at P. NJ. On the shore line of
the river and bay the undulating fields of
wheat presented beautiful picture, being
the precursor of abundant crops. The
fishermen at the mouth of the San Joaquin
and in Suisun bay were hauling their nets,
and taking salmon in immense numbers.
The trip was one of unalloyed pleasure
