a real estate dealer, was sitting at dinner
tonight in the Nevada Restaurant, All
Pine street. with Mrs. Annie Brown, wife
of J. G. Brown, mining expert, who for
some time has been living at Healdsburg,
and another lady, when Brown walked in,
and going straight up to the table where
they were sitting, drew a revolver, and,
without saving a word, fired three shots in
rapid succession into Shay. The first bull
let took effect in the right arm, the second
in the upper part of the same arm. lodging
under the shoulder blade, the third in the
right side below the ribs, ranging down
ward. and is believed to be lodged close to
the kidneys. When the first shot was
fired, Shay jumped from his chair, but be-
fore he could make any attempt at self
defense or before any others present in the
restaurant could interfere, the third bullet
had taken effect, and Shay fell to the
floor. By this time a number of
gentleman had rushed forward and seized
Brown from behind He made no effort to
free himself, but said, quietly: What
/ have done had right TO do. Don't be
afraid. I'm not going to run away" AT
this moment policeman entered and took
him to the police station. An effort was
made in the jail to interview Brown, but
he refused positively to make any state
ment, saying if there was anything in this
matter il would come out in Court. He af-
terward added that up to ten days ago he
had always believed Shay to be his friend,
but he had reasons now to doubt that, and
had changed his opinion of him. Shay,
who had been quickly removed to his resi-
dence, made a remark that this was the re-
ward for ali his kindness to Brown and his
family. He stated that he has known
Mrs. Brown since her childhood
that of late she had frequent
o casion to appeal to him for
assistance as Brown, being without work,
was in straightened circumstances. If
con i1uCd Shay, these were the last
words l had To speak on earth, say that
Mrs. Brown would not, or never has done
anything contrary to the duties she owes
her husband, and that Browns suspicious
are utterly unworthy of her and entirely
without foundation" The only cause as
signed for the shooting is jealousy. 1t is
feared that the wound caused by the third
bullet will prove fatal.
