negroes. They declare that Warner and

negroes. They declare that Warner and
Mrs. Messeth Quarreled on account of the
attentions paid to her by other men.
Warner had friend named James
Gray, a mIlatto. who took his place when
ever he was too sick or too drunk to work.
Gray says that his companion was sick
during the last two or three days, and
kept TO his room.
At halt-past O'Clock yesterday after
noon Warner, who was In the front room
with the woman. aroused Gray and told
MIN that ne had better make haste and go
down to the house under his charge on
California and Montgomery streets
Warner appeared to be very anxious TO
get rid Of Gray. and the latter departed.
An hour later the DuStons heard the re-
port of pistol in the rooms below, and
Mrs. DustOn ran downstairs and saw
Warner emerging from the rear door on
Trenton street. She did not speak TO him,
and he, after locking the door, walked
rapidly away. She returned to her apart
ments and at once detected the od0r of
burning cloth In the room. The apart
ment slowly filed with smoke and she and
her husband believing that the negro had
set IRE TO the house rushed downstairs.
They did not know that Mrs. MesSe:h was
in Warmers room, and when they found
the windows and doors of the lower floor
fastened they broke an entrance into the
apartment used as a kitchen. One of
w dT0er SHIRTS ana some rags were burn
ing on the floor. They extlnguished the
fire and passed into the bedroom where
they stumbled over the body of Mrs.
Messeth.
She lay upon the floor, near the bed,
with her arms eutsiretched. Blood was
pouring from a wound on the right side of
her face and forming a slowly widening
pool under her shoulder. They thought
she was dead and called for a policeman.
Pstrolman Riordan responded and sent a
hurry up" message to the old City Hall
station. Mrs. Messeth was alive, but un-
conscious when the patrG-wagon was
driven through the throngs of excited
men and women to the shanty. She was
placed in the vehicle and borne rapidly
toward the Receiving Hospital, but death
came to her on the way and her BODY was
conveyed to the MOrgue.
The bullet fired by the negro had shat
tered her right eye and passed into the
brain. Among the first who called to look
at the body were the aged father, two sis
terS and the deserted husband of the dead
woman. They live at 130415 Montgomery
street. Messeth declared that he would
not rest until he had killed the negro.
Detectives and policemen secured the city
until late hour in vain effort to find the
murderer Officer C0nboy took a janitor
named Oliver Warner into custody, bu t
the prisoner produced evidence that he
was not the Warner that committed the
crime. The fugitive from justice is about
80 years old. He is 8 feet inches high.

DEMANDED MONEY
Masked Robbers Shoot a
Barkeeper.
He Is Fatally Wounded-Wiid Scene
in kirwin's Saloon on Bay
Street.-The Escape.

James Kirwip, employed as barkeeper by the
proprietor of the saloon at 113 Bay street, was
fatally shot by masked robbers at 1890 O'Clock
last night.
The saloon, which is on the northern side of
Telegraph HILL is little frequented after night

are its patrons, ana the receipts at the bar are
seldom large enough 10 Tempt a rnbber. They
were no larger than usual last night and the
barkeeper, James Kirwin. was deploring the
dizziness Of the times 10 a friend who was sit
ting with him in the bauoOm, when two men,
whose faces were masked In handkerchefS, en-
tered. They walked 10 the bar and loudly de-
manded the contents of the Till.

''ips n - lie" one of the robbers answered
Il tell you it's the truth. l have no money
here" kirwn insisted.
The robber tarried for no further parley with
the barkeeper, but drew his revolver and fired
sever al shots at him. One OF the bullets struck
hirwin IN the side and he fell groaning upon
the floor. His companion shouted for help and
the other robber opened fire on him. He fed
out OF the saloon and the robbers, after pursu-
Ing for short distance, disappeared. A ply
stefan was summoned by Kirwu's friend who
did not relish the idea OF sending him to a hos
pital. The doctor pronounced The wound dan
gerOus aud probably fatal.
Policemen Ralhlo and OCOnnor obtained a
description of the robbers dress aud general
appearance and searched the ueighborhOOd for
them, but without success. There is little hope
that the daring scoundreis will ever be found.

BE ASHAMED OF SICKNESS.
There's No Virtue in Nonsensical
Kind of Patience.

Disease Is Not Fatality When Paine's Celery
Compound is Within the Reach of Every
Sufferer in the Country-lt Is Taking
Thousands of People Well This Month.
Sickness is not a fatality.
There is no virtue in patience with dis
ease or weakness.
II always feel ashamed to be sick, says
a famous preacher. "In nine cases out or
ten know that it is due to carelessneSS'
l get we'll as quickly as l can. almost
ashamed, as if had been caught IN some
culpable act"
Think of 1t that way if you want to live
long. With the great modern remedy,
oaine's celery compound, the remedy that
makes people well. within the reach OF
every sufferer. there is no excuse for mop
ing around with a long face, casting
shadow over the bright lives around one.
Paine's celery compound cures speedily
and thoroughly diseases directly traceaple
to unhealthy blood and weak nervous
system.
1t makes new life and courage and hap
piness. 1t has done it In thousands of
cases. 1t will do so in thousands more.
