| SAN FRANCISCO. August 3d-This evening.
about 5 o'clock Patrick Burns, 3 gambler,
recently from Virginia City, was shot four
times by julian Pinto. q young attorney OF
Modesto. Ths shots took effec: in Burns
leg. arm aud back, irfiicting what are con.
sidered very dangerous wounds. The shoot
| ing took place at the boarding house Of Mrs.
Maiers, No. AT Bush street. The cause of
the shooting seems involved in some mystery.
Ie appears that Pinto had some trouble with
Mrs. Maiers, at her house, on the Sd of July.
| During the difficulty it is claimed Pinto cut
the woman across the wrist. Her cries
brought Blrns, who was stopping at her
| house at the time, to l.er assistance. The re.
suit of the interference was that Burns ad
ministered to Pinto a severe chastisement.
The matter dropped at the time, but it ap-
| pears determination to obtain revenge for
the beating he received formed in the mind
Of Pinto. To day he visited Mrs. Maiers'
house on thu pretext of getting a watch he
had left there. The woman gave Pinto's
| watch to Burns, who offered it to him. Pinto
refused to receive the watch from Burns, and
said: " have just come down to kill you.
you id old, gray-haired -" Saying
which, he drew his pistol and fred four shots.
| At last accounts Burns condition wss critical.
Pinto is in custody on a charge Of assault to
commit murder.
