SHOT THROUGH THE HEAD
Bud Ives Fired Three Shots at Joe
Petto.
A ROW IN A COOK SHOP.
A Pistol the Cause of the Difficulty.
Petto was Advancing Against Ives
with Axe Elevated. Self De-
Tense Claimed. Another
Version. Large Crowd.

Yesterday afternoon about 6 O'Clock,
colored man named Bud Jones, shot
and killed Joe Petto in cook shop on
Goodwin street, near the railroad cros-
ing.
The particulars as we learned them
were, that Ives ind Petto roomed to.
gether on Pearl street. and they owned
Blk shooter jointly. Both of the men
wanted TO carry the pistol, but it
ssaems that Ives got possession of it
| first and put it in his pocket and went
of.
Later he Petto met in the cook shop
mentioned above. and Petto asked Ives
ior tho pistol. Ives replied, IL have
1t III my pocket aud you wont get it. I"
AT this remark Petto picked up an axe
and said: eff you don't give me tnat
pistol L will kill you with this axe. I"
and laughed at tho same time. He
raised the axe again aud whirled it
over his head. AS he did this Ives
fired at him, but missed his mark. He
| then fired tho second shot and hit
petto under the eighth rib on the right
| side, cutting out pieces piece Of flesh
At this Petto staggered, and then
| Ives fired the third shot, which hit
him over the right eye, penetrating
| the brain. Ives then ran and was
chased by the crowd. several hundred
| having gathered around, having heard
| of the shooting. He was captured near
| the Branch, i'll front of MIR. Houghton's
house on the Scott's Creek road by
Constable Elliott. He was brought to
this city and lodged in the county Jail.
DR.. Il. 5. Hope, who was Ell route
TO Cottage Place, was called to the
| wounded man, but he could be Of no
service, as the ball had penetrated the
brain and he died III few minutes.
BY this time the crowd had swollen to
tearly 1000 people who were very
strong III their denuncation against
| Ives. The dead man was carried to his
home OH Pearl street where an inquest
was held aud a verdict rendered in nc
cordance with the facts stated above.
1t was some time before the crowd
dispersed, and when they did so it was
done very reluctantly.
| The pistol WAS six shooter, 80 cali
bro ball.
Ives has only been living in this
| county for about two years, having
come here from North Carolina. He is
nbout % years old. The man that was
killed is perhaps no older, and the two
| men had been firm friends up to last
night.
Ives was visited ut the Jail and claims
| that he shot Petto in self defense, az
he hit at him with the axe and scraped
his arm before he fired the shot, but
other witnesses do not agree with him.
lie WAS asked why he ran, and said
that he was told to do so. He seemed
but little concerned last night,

salt water will be found in a supple
mentary supply of 100000 gallons daily
and the sanitary results arising from its
use. Personally | am satisfied insurance
companies and the Fire Department would
welcome the advent of salt water"
In speaking of the proposed addition to
the water supply of San Francisco, George
E. Dow, the consulting engineer OF the
Olympic Company, said:
1.-THE company has reservoir with an
elevation of 800 feet above the City. The
pumping plant is sufficient to meet all re-
quirements in the present or in the future.
The reservoir is on Point Lobos avenue,
near Josephine street, and has capacity
of 4, 100000 gallons.
"There is now 14-inch pipe running
down Geary street to Van Ness avenue and
a Pinch pipe down Post street to Mason.
1t is proposed by the company as | under
stand it, to lay Finch pipe down Van
Ness to Market, and along that thorough
fare to Stockton. There it will be joined
by the extended Post-street pipe. This
will EN- brace section of the City that is
really in need of fire protection, the pres
ent mains being small and not equal to an
emergency similar to the one forced on the
department in the recent confiagration
The Olympic Salt Water Company has
a capital stock of $450,000. The directory
is as follows: John D. Spreckels. presi-
dent; William Greer Harrison, vice-presi-
dent; G. A. Gibson, secretary; George r.

MEETS THEIR APPROVAL.
Firemen and Insurance Companies Favor the
Proposition,


Proposition.
The proposition to introduce saltwater
mains and hydrants in the more promi-
nent thoroughfares, with view of secur-
ing better protection against fire, meets
with the approval of the Fire Department
and a majority OF the insurance men.
The only objection that can be urged
against the general use of salt water as a
protection against fire is the possible dam
age to fine goods. 1t is not proposed, how
ever, to adopt this method in any but the
residence portion OF the City, and then only
in such sections as are at present poorly
protected.
1t is for this reason probably that the
Olympic Salt Water Company receives the
Endorsement of Chief Sullivan and also, it
is stated, of majority of the Fire Com
missioners. The point is made and it is a
good one, that under ordinary conditions
the damage resulting from the use of salt
water is no greater than the filthy dirty
water often used for extinguishing pur-
poses, while the former possesses the adj
vantage of being heavier and more solid
and consequently not subject to rapid
evaporation.
