Shot OFF HIS CHEEK.
J. A. Pilquist Discharges o Shot.
gun Into His Mouth.
The Bones Of His Face Shattered and Half
of His Tongue Blown Away = He Was
Out Of Work and Crazed by Drink.

J. A. Piquist of 76S Fremont street last
night came TO the conclusion that he had
borne the burdens of life too long. and did
what he could TO relieve himself of the load.
A double-barreIed gun, loaded with buck
shot, has stood at the head Of his bed for
years. and during his wife's absence he
placed his mouth over one OF the barrels and
moved the trigger with a piece OF fishing
rod. The report was heard throughout the
house, and there was great commoton.
The shot blew off Pilquist's lett cheek, shat
tered the bones and tore away half Of the
tongue and organs of the throat.
A HORRIBLE WOUND.
With the blood running from the
CHASTITY wound upon his breast Pill
0uist crawled downstairs from the bedroom
to the street and sat down with his feet
resting in the gutter. A hOrrlhed crowd
quickly gathered around him, and Officer
Cook and Detective Barnes. who were pass
ing that way, sent for assistance. Before
the patrol wagon arrived Pilquist tainted
from loss Of blood and fell over upon the
sidewalk. lie was placed IN the patrol
wagon and taken to the Receiving Hospital,
where DR.. Dean lab0red arduously for an
hour to repair his shattered face.
PILQUIsT's NOTE.
In Piquist's room a note was found
pinned upon the washstand. Following is
a copy:
Emma, you caused this when l FIRST was told
by your brother that you were tricky woman.
All that have TO say 10 you Is that am sorry
for you. but before will stand Inundated for
the sake OF my family die.
Dear Name forgive me- / never thought /
would come 10 this. GoOd-by. There Is a lot OF
seOundrels who have plotted against me; honest
with them. They ale all OF set that belong TO
San Quentin and deserve a worse fate Than
have adopted.
Pilqulsts wife, young and rather pretty
woman. who is employed in the Palace
Varieties dive on Grant avenue, quickly
learned of her husbands attempt at self
destruction and made her way to the hos
pital, where she wept and wrung her hands
while the surgeon was gathering the frag-
ments Of her husbands face together.
OUT OF HIS HEAD.
HE is 80 years DID," she said, land has
always been good to me, but of late he has
been out of his head, fancying that some one
was trying to spoil his business. He is
glass-blower and has been out of work for
nine months. He has been drinking
very hard. l did not know anything
about his Intention to commit suicide. We
were married in New Orleans eight years
ago and came 10 this city. We have no
children. My husband is Swede."
DR.. Dean found that while all the bones
on the left side of Pilquist's face had been
shattered the eye was not injured. Bits of
flesh and elots of blood were found sticking
to the lace curtains of the room in which
Pilquist shot himself. Four of his teeth
were found upon the floor.

TRAILING THE STAGE-ROBBERS.
Governor Markham Places Price on the
Heads Of the Outlaws.

REDDING, May 16.-The stage-robbery is
the one great theme Of conversation, and
one can hear any kind of a story about il on
the streets.
Some eight men and boys were engaged
in the capture Of the man caught His gun,
an old muzzle-l loader, had been found some
time before, and a man named Haskell was
carrying it. when the party were going
down hill and saw the r0bber walking
leisurely along the ditch on the side of the
canyon. They shouted to him and he be-
gan to run. going round bend of the guleh
out of sight They followed him up, and
as he was crossing an iron fiume Haskell
told him to throw up his hands. He turned
around and obeyed the order, when man
named Bell grabbed him.
While beihg led to Shasta he was bitter
against his companions. He said: "They
have robbed me and left me to die" and his
reference to his companions as "they."
with other facts lends color to the theory
that there were three of the robbers.
The wounded robber lay out all night 10
heavy rain and was much disguised.
His identity has been fully established,
and the officers think they have a correct
description Of one of his companions, who
worked with him at Iron Mountain, and
who was known as Arizona Pete" He Ia
described as large man and dead pistol
shot. He has a thin face and a peculiar
neck.
1t Is reported that the burlap sacking
used for wrapping his feet and other evil
deDces have been found, establishing the
fact that the escaped robbeT slept in cabin
about a mile from the scene Of the robbery
OF that night.
1t was thought last night that the robber
would get well, but this morning change
has taken place for the worse, and it is
hoped that the truth may be obtained by his
dying confession.
Detective Thacker is here, and the officers
are putting odds and ends together TO see if
a correct theory cannot be evolved, which
will lead to the capture of the remaining
r0Lber or robbers.
Not over $1,000 was taken from the ex
press box, and it was principally gold dust.
The robber captured claims that he has
an uncle in the foundry business in San
Francisco. He is not vicious man, but he
is very gritty and man who will not scare.
He is spoken of by those who messed with
him as genial companion.
The man who killed the messenger is com
sidered cOwardy and vicious. When he
fired he was completely bid in thcket.

KILLED AND PICKLED.
Ths siekening Story Of Portuguese Murder
il Kern County.


il Kern County
BAKERSFIELD, May l6.-The third trial of
j. 5. Gularte. Portuguese: charged with
the murder of Martin Hyne last June, was
commenced in the Superior Court to-day
1t is alleged that Gularte picked the remains
of the murdered man and afterWard fed the
meat to his workmen. 1t is generally be-
lieyed that the crime was committed in San
Luis 0bispo County, aud that the authori-
ties there declined to have anything to do
with il. Having occurred so near the county
boundary lines it was finally saddled on
Kern. Very little interest is manifested
although there are about 50 witnesses, nearly
all OF whom appear to be Portuguese. 1t
only took one hour to secure jury, and the
examination Of witnesses commenced at 2
o'clock. The impression is that the defend
ant will be acquitted.
