Street-Shootins ARRAY in San Francisco
Woman Killed and Man Wounded.
SAN FRANCISCO May 10th. "A lively
shooting affray occurred on kearny street,
between California and Sacramento streets,
about 4 o'clock this afternoon, resulting in
the killing of woman named Sarah Indig
and the wounding of man named VIM.
n. Summersett. Augustus Daniels, alias
William Willetts did the principal portion
of the shooting, and is mainly responsible
for the killing of the woman and the
wounding of Summersett. The last named,
however, fired two shots at Daniels, with
out effect. The cause of the tragedy was
the attractions of the woman. Daniels ran
away with her from this city about two
years and a half ago, and took her to Los
Angeles, where she assumed the name of
Sadie Ray, and became an inmate of
bagnio. About three months ago Summer
sett, who was originally from Oakland,
went to Los Angeles and supplanted
Daniels in the woman's affections. Last
week they packed up, and the woman drew
500 to $1,000 that belonged to her and
Daniels jointly. She and Summersett then
left Los Angeles en- route to Montana. On
arriving here the woman took up quarters
in disreputable house on Sacramento
street. Daniels, who made threats in Los
Angeles to kill his rival, reached this city
on Friday. He renewed the threats, and,
it is said, laid in ambush Friday night to
kill Summersett. To-day he traced the
woman to the Sacramento-s street house, and
walked down to Kearny street with her.
He was impoTtuning her to return to Los
Angeles with him, but she refused, and
told him to leave her, saying, If we
meet Billy, there will be trouble"
On Kearny street the woman saw Sum
mersett on the opposite walk and called
him over. All three then stopped and
quarrel occurred between them. Summer
sett, according to the story of an eve-wit-
| ness, assumed the aggressive, and drew a
| large-sized, old-fashioned Colts revolver
| from his pocket and began to shoot The
| fire was returned by Daniels, who ran
backwards, and emptied three shots from
! pistol as he ran. One of these caused the
death of the woman, who was shot in the
| right side, the ball passing through and en-
| tering the heart. The other two shots hit
Summersett, one in the right chest and the
other in the left arm. Neither of them are
serious. 1t is said the woman gave Daniels
! 500 to leave her for good. 1t is not thought
| Daniels shot at the woman, and the police
| believe that she was killed by a stray shot.
| He was allowed to view the body before it
was taken to the Morgue, and wept like a
| child upon viewing it. He was charged
| with murder, and Summersett was placed
| in the Receiving Hospital.
