Attempted Murder ana Suicide.
SAN FRANCISCO, March o. Last evening
a shooting affray occurred in a beer saloon
on Dupont street, resulting in the death
of Jose Cypriano Sanchez, a Mexican, and
the probable fatal wounding of Clara A..
Rennix, a girl aged 10, formerly of Port
land, Oregon. She had been employed for
the past two months at the saloon in the
capacity of waitress. From q statement
by Miss Rennix, after the shooting, it ap-
pears that there had been very intimate re-
lations existing between herself and San
chez for the past nine months. She stated
that Sanchez was her husband, or was
shortly to be. Sanchez, it appears, was
very jealous, and to that fact alone the
tragedy is attributed. Sanchez entered
the saloon where the girl was employed,
and said to her: 81 want you to leave this
place" She said, 'All right, but give me
time to get my Clothes" She started to
go to the back end of the saloon to get her
cloak, when Sanchez drew a pistol and
commenced to shoot at her. She cried out,
"Oh, don't shoot" The first shot took
effect in her left hand. The second struck
her in the back, and, ranging forward,
came out at her breast. Just as Sanchez
fired the third shot she fell to the floor,
and the ball missed the arm of the bar
keeper, who had witnessed the shooting.
He shouted to Sanchez to stop that firing,
but the latter paid no heed to the COM
mand. Turning the smoking muzzle
against his left breast, he fred the fourth
shot directly through his heart. The girl
was removed to the Receiving Hospital,
where she now lies in a very critical con-
dition. Her wounds are not necessarily
fatal, but are regarded as very serious.
Nothing is known OF the antecedents of
Sanchez.
