SHOT BY HIS FRIEND.
William Selfredge Wounded by
a Drunken Companion.
SUDDEN ouTBuRsT or ANGER.
Tony Kraker Slightly Wounds . Boon
Companion While They Are Joking
in Saioon-He Is Arrested.

William Selfredge, of San Francisco, repre-
senting the Fidelity Insurance Company, was
shot, but not seriously wounded last evening By
Tony Kraker, q well-known sporting man and
ex-chamri0n biIliardist of the Pacific coast. The
affair occurred about O'Clock In the Turf
saloon, at the corner OF South Second and Wash
ingtou streets.
Both men had been drinking heavily and were
joking and bantering each other IN good
natured manner, when Kraker suddenly became
enTaged ana struck Selfredge light blow under
the chin. 1t was scarcely more than slap. but
Selfredge lodged backward and fell to the floor.
Before he could get up Kraker had drawn q
OF, but whether by accident or design appears
70 be doubtful. The ball, which was very
large one. entered Seifredgcs back Just below
the left shoulder blade and, Flowing beneath
the skin, lodged in the small OF his back about
six inches below wheee it entered
The wound, which was but slight flesh
wound, was dressed by DR.. Noble, and seIfredge
was taken to bis room at the Los Angeles hotel,
on Commercial street
kraker quickly disappeared, but was arrested
about an hour later. Both men were too much
intoxicated to give an intelligent account of the
affair, and those who saw Ii seemed TO think that
the gun was accidentally discharged while
krakcr was tiourishing it, and that he had no
intention OF shooting bis friend. very few
minutes previous to the shooting kraker and
another man, just who no one seems 20 know,
drove 70 kraker's home at the corner of Third
and Columbia streets, where he got his revolver
ever, did not think that he went after the pistol
with any evil intention as he always carried IL
when on his sprees. and although much given
10 nourishing IL had never attempted 10 use it.

TROUBLE AT THE BAKERIES.
The Proprietors and the wcrkmen at


There is talk OF strike among the union bak-
ers OF the city. They have held several meet
ings, and the proprictors of the bakeries have
also met. The result thus far has been the fol-
lowing circular from the Union:
.'Mr. ----, Proprietor OF Bakery
Dear SIR: You are hereby respectfully notified
that the following bylaw has been adopted by
this Union, 10 take effect Immediately: no more
than eight i0-quart buckets of bread shall be
baked by each bread baker in each shop, pro-
viding said work does not take more than ten
hours
sAlso, that no bread baker shall work on New
Years eve. and no cake baker on New Years
day.
also that we shall demand day work ON the
LIST OF February, 1901. Respectfully submitted.
BAKERS UNION, No. 81.
The iourneymen bakers claim that their hours
are row too long, that they are making ten ten
quart buckets OF bread day and that they want
their stint cut down TO eight tcn-quart buckets,
which win give them about ten hours. They
furthermore hold that the day Is the natural
time 10 work, and accOr ingly, after February 1,
night work will be abandoned.
Last night the proprietors OF the bakeries met
az the SnogualnIie hotel to consider the situa-
ton. They believe that man can in ten, or
even in nine hours, make ten ten-quart buckets
OF bread. The bakeries are run at present with
day shift nd night shift. To run only day
shifts and still turn out the same amount Of
bread, crackers, etc., would neccssitate a
double plant, the proprictors say, and no
bakery in Seattle could at once make this
done in the day. there would H'1 Be- 0I no
supplies OF hot bread for the morning custom
crs- Altogether the proprietors evidently object
10 the programme. They assert that the cutting
down OF the forces in several bakeries has
thrown men out OF employment, and that the
union Is simply trying 70 force place for these
men.
The union viii hold meeting today, and
compromise seems likely.

Hans Christensen, y German farmer, called at
police headquarters yesterday and wanted to
swear out warrant for the arrest of y. r. Butte

He claimed that Butts had iured his wife, who

Christensen or give satisfactory answer, but
said

When Butts owned a barber-shop in the base

the old farmer went first to the Justices OF the
