A SUICIDES BLOODY DEED.
He Hacks His Throat With Knife on
the street.

he HACKS Efs throat Win a Knife on
the street.
Two small boys were playing in Harlan
place, near Grant avenue, yesterday morn
Ing, when they were terribly frightened by
a horrible shocking spectacle. A middle
aged man with unkempt hair and whiskers
approached, sat upon the curbstone and be-
gan to sharpen the big blade OF pocket
knife. Then he calmly tested the blade on
his thumb. By this time the lads began to
have little curiosity as to what the man
Intended TO do. Their curiosity was quickly
satisfied, for the man suddenly began TO
hack his throat with the knife. Several
times he drew the blade across his throat
before red stream gushed forth, and the
boys fed in terror
They ran to Officer 7. B. Gibson. who lost
no time in trying to check the bloody
work Of the suicide. Again and again the
flesh. and when the officer approached he
did not desist.
What are you trying to doP" exclaimed
the officer.
There. was no answer. and the suicide,
although m0Ttally wounded. resisted
heTeely when Gibson approached him.
After a struggle, and by sheer force, Glib
son secured the knife.
The blood stained man than sank to the
pavement. His limp body was placed in a
police ambulance anQ hastily removed TO
the Receiving Hospital. Five minutes after
being laid out on the operating-table he
died.
Papers and documents found in the pock-
: cts oftbe clothing showed that the deceased
was William Kitrick, aged 45 years, and a
weilto-do lumbermau of Butte County
Upon card found among the papers were
these words:
Good-by, Annie ! have beer hypnotZed
WILLIAM KITRICR.
There were also kilograms and letter
from his brother. r. S. Ktrick of the Lump
kin Mill Company at OIOville.
The deceased recently came to this city
and stopped at the Russ House, where he
wxs very quiet and retired. he made no
friends and had little to say. 1t Is believed
that be was temporarily insane when he in
hicted the fatal knife wounds.

the statements Of the company this plate is

r. Heyneman appeared before the Health

the Binney dumping-ligh for the pur-

He said that the city could buy J00-ton
boats for So 600 each. and that the city
would have 10 pay 50 cents per ton per
anDum royalty ON the tonnage Of the boats.
MIR. Heyneman further said that the city
could make a profitable Investment out of
the boats by charging the scavengers so
much load.
Supervisor Burling wanted to know why
the BinEey Company did not enter into the
business of its own accord If 1t was thought

The cost of the lighter appeared to be

BETTER TO SEPARATE.
Judge Hicks Thinks H. II. Lamer-
eaux Should Part.

The LamereauX divorce case, on trial
yesterday before Judge Hicks, was tn
center of attraction at the court house.
The trial is being conducted in the
judges private room, which is filled to
its utmost capacity.
A large number of ladies are In at
tendance, and watch the progress of the
case with the closest attention. The
grounds of the action are the same on
which decree of divorce was
granted the couple few months
ago-dr unkenneSS and cruel and in
human treatment. There was large
number of witnesses, and the case
occupied the court nearly all day yes
terday. At 3 o'clock Attorney Law
renee argued on behalf of the defense
at considerable length. He cOntended
that the evidence was not strong enough
to allow the granting of divorce. and
that the court could do far better than
to grant the decree. There was un-
doubtedly fault Oil both sides, and
neither party seemed to realize the
sOlemnity of the marriage vows.
Judge Hicks said he did not care TO
hear the plaintiff, as the court had
made up its mind. After reviewing the
case briefly he said he would grant the
divorce. as it WAS quite evident that
the two could never liye together in
peace and harmony. The questions as
to who should have the custody of the
child and the amount of allmOny to be
paid Mrs. LamereauX would be decided
after the court consulted the attorneys
in the case
