Dallas Fair-Residences
Burned at Fit. Worth.

Galveston, Nov. 4.-(Special.)-At 10
o'clock tonight the report of several PTS
tol shots in the neighbOrhood of Avenue
n and Thirty fourth street drew the at
tention of Officer Barbaries from his
beat to the scene, where he found a
woman lying dead in the street and a
man lying on the sidewalk, mortally
wounded.
The man proved to be Officer Henry
Bierman of the city patrol and the
woman was Kitty Golden, alias Eng
fish Kitty, or Trilby, who has been liy-
ing in a public house up to this evening"
when Bierman had her conveyed to a
small cottage on Avenue l, between
Thirty fourth and Thirty-ffth streets,
which he had rented for her.
The story of the driver of the hack
which conveyed Bierman and the woman
from the house of Annie Labra to the
cottage about $50 this evening is that
when the woman looked at the house
provided for her she was not pleased
with it and said she would return to the
city. Bierman declared she should not
do so and directly after drew his pistol
and shot her dead and then turned the
pistol to his own breast and fired.
The dead woman was taken to the
undertaker's and Bierman to the hos
pital, but is expected to die before morn
ing. He is a married man with wife
