injuries. His wife also is in very crit-
cal condition. The heads and faces of
both husband and wife were fearfully cut
and bruised by blows from a sharp
hatchet in the hands of desperate
criminal.
A few minutes before o'clock Mrs.
Wolfe was awakened by the sounds of
some one moving about in an adjoining
room, where slept her three children, boy
IL years old, a girl Of u, and another
baby boy of IS months. Think
ing that one of the children might
he i'll and was therefore moving around in
the room, Mrs. Wolfe left her bed without
arousing her husband and walked across
the floor 20 the door leading into the chill
dren's room. She pushed the door partly
open and tried to look through, but at that
moment she was confronted by the form
of man and the next instant she felt
q violent blow on the left side of her head.
Two more blows from some sharp instru-
ment followed in rapid succession. One of
the blows cut through her hair and scalp
above the left ear; the other two struck

was finally raised from where she fell,
and after the neighbors and the police Of
fieers had been notified she received such
care as could be given. The Drs. Tisdale
were sent for, and they came quickly and
dressed the wounds of the victims.
81 was the first one to enter the house
and the bedroom after the assault" said
Mrs. Mayrisch yesterday. 81 never saw
such sight of horror in my life before,
and l hope to never see anything like it
again. There seemed to be blood every
where. The floors were slippery with it
and the walls were red in great blotches
here and there. Both Mr. and Mrs. Wolfe
bled terribly when / and the officer went
in. Mr.. Wolfe was unconscious and his
wife was little better. but could speak a
little after her fit of exhaustion.
ut is my belief" Mrs. Mayrisch con-
rinued. shat the scoundrels were close to
the house all through the night. Miss
HALEY. young lady who was stopping
with me. heard some one speak to the dog
in our yard about O'Clock. AT least she
thought she did and spoke to me about II.
But / thought she was mistaken about 1t. .
The purpose of the assailanis was doubt
less robbery. but when they found that
they we're discovered and the Eeighbor-
| hood was about to be alarmed they were
desperate enough to commit murder II
necessary to their escape.
| Mr.. Wolfe and his family arrived from
Alaska. where he has served as mission
! airy, two weeks ago. He brought with
him large and valuable assortment oi
sealskins and other valuables, which he
had stored in one of lhe rooms in the
newly occupied house. BE also had $500
in money. but this had been deposited in a
bank few days before. 1t seems clear
that the burglars knew of these valuables
and had carefully laid their plans for
securing them at any cost.
The house In which the Wolfes reside is
cottage of one story and basement.
The burglars entered through window
on the north side at the rear of the house.
The window had been reached by means
of ladder which belongs to Mr.. Mayrisch
and had been lifted over the fence that
divides the two yards. The window-sash b
had been forced open by means of a
hatchet-the same weapon, doubtless, that
was used in the assault. The natchet,
covered with blood and strands of drag
gled hair. was found near the window. as
also was burglars dark lantern. These
articles were taken in charge by the Police
Department
The victims OF the terrible assault were
conscious yesterday afternoon, but Mr..
WOlfe's case was considered critical in the
extreme. His wounds are of such a nature
that little hope is entertained for his re-
covery. The attending physicians ex-
cluded all visitors, and would not permit
the patients to be seen by any one, save
the attending nurses. Mr.. Wolfe is about
40 years of age and his wife is 50 years.
1t is generally believed that the murder
Gus assailants in this case are the same
parties who have made repeated attempts
and have committed number of burgla-
ries in Alameda dnring the last five weeks.
But the police have no clew to the assail-
ants in the last case. and it is a problem
whether or not the desperate criminals
will ever be brought to justice.

Two Customs Inspectors
Dismissed.
Both Are Republicans, and Say They
Were Discharged on Account
of Their Politics.

Customs Inspectors John Shepstons and
Charles Mau will join the great army of
place-seekers to-day, as Uncle Sam has
notified them that he has no further use
for their services. Shepstone has served
FIVE years and Mau three, and they assert
that they were removed for political rea-
sons.
I'VE are both Republicans" said Mau
yesterday. sand have never given the Col
lector or Surveyor any reason for COM
plant. No charge has ever been made
against US, yet on October we were asked
to resign and were notified that if we did
not we would be dismissed. We were
again asked to resign to-day just after
Collector Wise. Surveyor English and
Deputy Ruddell had held long con ference.
"We asked English what charges had
been made against us, but he declined to
answer. and informed Us that if we did
not resign At once we would be dismissed
tonight. The Collector said that he had
received instructions from Washing gtoD to
get rid of us; but We do not think he re-
celved any orders of the kind. Ruddell
advised us to resign, saying that if we
were dismissed the newspapers would
publish the fact and we would be disgraced. i.
''Well, we will stand the disgrace, and
we will know why we have been dropped
from the roll. We have engaged an at
torney and will fight for the rights guar
aDteed us by the civil service act"
Mau and Shepslone passed the civil SER
vice examination before they were ap-
pointed inspectors. The law which they
hold has been violated by their re-
moval provides that "The authority
and duty of removal are left undisturoed
by the cvil-service law and rules, except
that removal cannot be legally made be-
cause a person in the service has refused
to be coerced in his political actions or to
contribute for political purposes or to rem
der political services"

WITH HIS PISTOL
Which He Pointed at the
Conductors Head.
How a Man on One of the Market.
Street Cars Tried to Eyade

Considerable excitement was caused
among the passengers on one of the Mar.
ket-street cars last evening by the cool
and deliberate attempt of man riding on

fare by presenting pistol at the conduct.
or's head.
The car. which was westward bound,
was No. 40 of the Haignt-street line.
There were not more than ten passengers
on it at the time, FIVE of whom were riding
inside. just after leaving Fifth street a
tall, well-dressed man who wore heavy
light overcoat and looked about 30 years
of age jumped on to the side of the
to the gripman. There was one other
passenger on the same bench.
When the conductor came to collect the
fares the man in the light overcoat made
no motion to hand over the elusive nickel.
Fares, please" repeated the man whose
business 1t was to collect the coin. But
he might as we'll have appealed 10 the
wind as far as the passenger was con-
cerned. He stared blankly out at the
sidewalk and ignored the presence of the
mlnion of the railroad company.
Just as the conductor was hesitatn g
what to do next the car stopped at Sixth
street TO let passenger get on. ''Spe
u
''y0u had better get off here if you can't
pay vour fare"
Get of" roared the wearer of the over
coat turning round fercely, you -
But he was not given time TO finish his
sen ience. The conductor had taken him
by the arm and was pushing him out OF
his seat, the car being still stationary
In moment the man whipped oct a
pistol and pointed the muZzle straight AT
the conductors head. exclaiming '''You
put me off this car If you dare" Instead
of needing this warning, however, the
collector OF nickels seized his adversary
right hand and forcing the point of the pis-
tol upward flung the man off the car.
By that time crowd had begun to col
lect, and the conductors of a couple OF
cars behind. that had been blocked by the
stoppage, had also arrived on the scene,
No one grasped the situation on the spur
of the moment, however, or IL they did

agility OF deer.
''Shall arrest him?" asked the conduc.
tor to the grlpman as soon as the Obstrep-
erous passenger had been put off the car.
Arrest himI yes," cried the gripman,
tearing off his gloves in his excitement
'Of course you must arrest him." There
was no policeman in sight. and by the time
the conductor was we'll under way down
Sixth street the owner of the pistol, who
had exhibited none OF the signs of intoxica.

futile search was made for him along q
couple of blocks, but neither he nor his
pistol materialized. and as no one in the

may prove fatal. OF course MIR. Wolfe
lost consciousness by this blow and reel

In the meantime. during the few mo-
ments of the attack on Mr.. Wolfe, Mrs.
Wolfe had succeeded in reaching the
back door which opens on an elevated
porch, and IRON there she uttered loud
cries for help and the police. Her first
shock of fright had given way to the des-
perate courage produced by terror and the
imminent danger from unseen foes, for she
knew there were at least two invaders in
the house, although she had seen but one,
aud that was he who had nearly killed her
with blows from some sharp and heavy
instrument Blood was squirting from her
wounds all over her person. night robes
and On the hall floor and walls. Still she
did not succumb. but called loudly for
help, which came at last.
But evidently the burglars realized that
it would be dangerous to carry out their
purpose or larry longer, after having heard
Mrs. Wolte's piercing shrieks and cries
for help. and therefore they made a hasty
retreat through an open window by whic h
they had entered, breaking the lower glass
as they went.
Officer Schumacher, who was on duty
along that beat at the time, was the first
to respond 10 the cries for help uttered by
Mrs. Wolfe. When he came upon the
scene at the rear of the house and had as.
