and Himself-"Babyo slnnoft
tho Heroine.

SAN FRANCISCO, June Ill. IL.
Emmett, the actor, made n attempt
Saturday night to kill his wife, who Is
known on the stage as Emily Lytton.
The shooting took place q short dis
lance from their temporary residence
In this city shortly before 8 p. N.
Emmett had been indulging in strong
drink and after his wife returned home
a.quarrel ensued. The woman ran into
the street, her husband following, res
volver in hand, to the door, which she
closed in his face and locked from the
outside. 'sBaby'' Sinnott, the s-year-.
old protege of the couple, was playing
in the yard. As Mrs. Emmett ran
down the sidewalk her infuriated hus-
band leaped from window and start
ed after her. In his hand was q re-
volver. Half way down the block the
woman stopped and looked back. She
saw her husband and the revolver, and
with scream resumed her fight. She
cried loudly for help as she ran.
At this point the pathetic feature APP
peared in drama. .'Baby" Sinnott,
hearing Mrs. Emmet's cries for help,
joined in the race, fear and despera-
ton lending speed to her little feet.
"Baby's'' face was white and
set, but she did not give utterance
to single cry. Near the corner
Emmett caught up with the terror
stricken woman and as she turned the
corner he drew his pistol and fired.
With scream Mrs. Emmet fell to the
sidewalk wounded. Once more he adj
vanced toward the woman as though
to finish his bloody work, but as he
leveled his pistol the baby sprang upon
him and seized the hand that held the
weapon.
The actor paused and looked at the
little one in establishment, for he had
not seen her before. Pushing her from
him, Emmett stepped back pace or
two and slowly placed the muzzle Of the
weapon against his temple Baby" Sim
mott again spraug upon him. She
seemed to climb up his limbs In an
instant a little hand was gripping the
barrel of the pistol, which she dragged
away from the mans temple. She
chung to his arm so that he could not
use the weapon again. Emmett stood
for a moment as if bewildered and
then with his left hand he threw the
weapon into the garden on the corner.
Then it was that the s-year-o1d little
heroine collapsed and fell to the side
walk in faint. Bystanders quickly
gathered, and one picked up
the child. No one would touch
the man. who walked up the street and
sat upon his doorstep until an officer
arrived. Mrs. Emmett was assisted to
doorstep near by, where she satmoan-
ing until officers took her to the re-
ceiving hospital. There it was found
that bullet had struck her in the
head, but had glanced upward along
the bone, inflicting a serious though
not dangerous wound. Emmett is under
arrest.
Emmett was released on giving bail
in the sum of $4,000. He Immediately
took the pledge, and says he will never
drink another drop. An Affection
ate scene occurred between Emmett
and his wife after isrelease. All was
forgiven.

An Omaha Woman Fills Her Psrsscutor

fashionable quarter of the city. To
protect her honor, II not her life, Mrs.
James Ish, of 847 South Twenty-ninth
street. shot at and instantly killed q
young man named Chappell, one of the
agents for the Singer Manufacturing
company in this city.
About a month ago Mrs. 1sh bought a
sewing machine from this agent, BUTT
did not work well and she found it
necessary to call him a number Of times
to put it in order. Three or four days
ago, while on one of these errands he
grossly insulted her, but she did
not tell her husband, through fear, she
says. Saturday Chappell was called
again, but did not come until Sunday
evening. When Mrs Ish saw him
who was in his mothers yard, q
few doors away, and Chappell and
Ish entered the house together.
Chappell, after some conversation,
went into the front bedroom, where
the machine was, and Ish went down
cellar after some kindling. When in
the room with Mrs. Ish, Chappell again
became insulting in his manner, and
on taking hold of Mrs Ish she began
to fight him, at the same time calling
for help.
Immediately Chappell drew from his
hip pocket revolver, but Mrs. Ish
snatched it from him and fred every.
chamber at him. just at this mo-
ment 1sh, who had heard his wife'a
cries, came running into the room, hav-
ing first secured his own revolver, and
his wife snatched this from his hand
and fred four more shots at her assail-
ant. He fell to the floor shot in four
places-in the neck and directly over
the heart-and died instantly. Mr.. Ish
then ran to Clark's drug store near
by and notified the police and coroner.
The body was taken to the morgue and
Mrs. Ish placed in custody. She was
formerly Miss Mabel Ruger, of Free
mont, and had been married almost
three wears.
