 SAN FRANcIsco, March 22.-Last eve
 ming a shooting sfray occurred m a
 beer saloon on Dupont street, resulting in the death of Jose Cypriano Sanchez,
 a Mexican, and the probably fata!
 wounding of a young girl named Clara
 A. Rennix. The girl was aged eighteen
 years and formerly resided with her
 parents ID Portland, Oregon. She had
 been employed for the past two months
 at the saloon in the capacity of wait
 ress. From tho statement made by Miss
 Rennix after the shooting, 1t appears
 there had been very intimate relations existing between herself anC Sanchez | for the past nine months. She stated | that Sanchez was her husband or was
 shortly to be. Sanchez, it appears, was
 very jealous. and Co that fact alone the
 tragedy is attributed. Last evening | Sanchez entered the saloon where the
 girl was employed and said 10 her, Il
 want you to leave this place She said | ''all right, but give me time to get my clothes" She started 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 me-" The first shot took effect
 in her left hand, the second shot struck
 the girl in the back and ranging for
 ward, came out at the breast. Just as
 Sanchez fired the third shot, she fell tn
 the floor and the ball missed her arm. | The DgThoePer who had witnessed the
 shooting, shouted tO Sanchez ''stOp that firing" but the latter pald no heed to the command, and turning the smoking
 muzzle against his left breast he fred
 the fourth shot. The ball passed
 directly through his heart killing him
 instantly. The girl was removed to the
 receiving hospital where she now lies in
 a very critical condition. The wounds
 are not necessarily fatal, but are re-
 garled very serious. Nothing Is known
 of the antecedents of Sanchez.
