An Early Morning Murder
at Sacramento.
1T is CLOUDED IN rYSTERY.
The Victim Had Not Offended
His AsSailant.
AND WAS A STRANGER To HIM.
Charles Berg and John II. Kemp Are
Shot by an Unknown Man,
the Former Fatally.

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 2S.-At % minutes
TO O'Clock this morning. while it was still
dark. a man, whose name is at present
unknown. shot and MORALLY wounded
Charles Berg. an employe of Guttenberg's
foundry, and also shot twice at another
man, John II. Kemp, without doing him
serious injury.
The men were drinking with some Others
in Lafayette's saloon few minutes before
the occurrence. The murderer, who is a
tramp and tough looking character, asked
some members of the crowd to go with
him up the street. "You see. I'm watch
man on the next block" said he. with an
air of Importance. They need me up
there. and l want you to go along with me. I"
The men who were drinking with him
and the saloon-keeper who had heretofore
noticed his queer actions. put him down
for crank. He led the way out of the
saloon two or three times. but nobody ac-
cepted his invitation to follow him. A
little persuasion, however. induced Berg
and Kemp to go out of the saloon with him.
The three men walked t0 Fourth and
K streets, end then across K street to a
position in front of the doorway of No.

III odlQ WIG uUUUs give ul6 d
match"
Berg fished out the stub of match and
the stranger struck the sulphur end of it
and pretended to be trying to insert key
in the door, the match went out and then
he drew pistol from his rear pocket, and
without word of warning. shot at Kemp,
who was standing near the doorway.
The bullet whizzed through the rim of
Kemp's hat, and then went diagonally
across. lodging near the International
Hotel. The powder from the pistol
burned Kemp around the right eye. and
he concluded without much deliberation
that he had better get away and he made
off in the direction of Fourth street.
He turned as he darted off and saw the
tramp fire a shot at Berg. who was
croucbed near the doorway. Then Kemp
felt an other shot whirr past him and be
ran up Fourth street and down / to the
police station.
The murderous villain, not satisfied with
his work. shot again at the fallen body of
Berg. He then pOcketed his weapon and
walked slowly away in the deep fog which
enveloped the city at that hour of the
morning. Nobody is out in town from
choice at such an early hour of the morn
ing. and the streets were clear for the as
sassin's easy departure. The shots were
heard by Officers Alter and Maloy, who
reached the scene after few minutes, and
they were joined there by Officer Ahern.,
The officers found Berg lying on thei
sidewalk, with one bullet hole in his neck
and another in the abdomen. from which
streams of blood poured. The patrol
wagon was called out, and the man. more
dead than alive, was taken to the County
Hospital. The officers hunted high and
low for the assassin, but having little or
no description to aid them they were un-
successful in finding any trace of him.

serious. 1 know of but way to certainly avoid
these troubles which common. and
that is to Immediately counterfeit them by using
good, pure. strong stimulant Nothing OF the
Ordinary kind, but something pure and scientific.
For this purpose nothing has ever equaled Duff
fy's Pure Malt Whisky, which is acknowledged
to-day by physicians and scientific people TO be
