THREE SHOOTING SCRAPES
One Man Killed and Three
Wounded at an Early Hour
This Morning.
Deadly Encounter at Feast in
Chinatown--Gave Bullets
for a Drink.

There was an epidemic of shooting
scrapes this morning. After midnight
there were three deadly encounters, in
which one Chinaman was killed, and two
white men and one Chinaman wounded.
]. Herveau and Albert Calm were hav-
ing quiet talk in the saloon at 220S SUIT
ter street, when a stranger entered and
demanded a drink.
Herveau, the barkeeper, refused, and the
intruder pulled pistol. Calm seized the
weapon, when it was discharged, the bali
going through the calf of CaIin's left leg.
The man then shot Herveau, the bullet
penetrating the left side of the abdomen
and passing out at the back.
The wounded men were taken to the
Receiving Hospital, where they were
treated by DR.. Fitzgibbons. Both will
recover.
There was Chinese feast at Bartlett
alley at 2 o'clock this morning, at which
Lee All Wong and another Chinaman en-
gagged in a quarrel, and both were shot.

Motion to Reopen the Potter Re.
moval Suit at Redwood
City.
PROCEEDINGS At REDWOOD CITY
Attorneys Absent and Judge Buck
Granted a Continuance for
One Week.

REDWOOD CITY. CAL, Jan. 23.-In the
Superior Court to-day counsel for Jesse
Potter made request that the hearing of
the motion to reopen the Potter removal
suit be postponed for two weeks. Judge
Buck granted q continuance for one week
and said that if counsel found they could
not proceed at that time the postponement
for an additional week could be asked for.
Attorney J. II. Campbell of San Jose
and Henry Lux, the petitioner for Potter's
removal as executor OF the Charles Lux
estate, were in town this morning, expect
ing that the motion would be heard.
Last week the absence of Messrs. Delmas
and Campbell delayed the proceedings and
to-day it was Messrs. Pillsbury and Nc
Enerney's turn to be absent and through
Attorney George G. Ross ask for further
time on the plea of other engagements.
The motion to reopen the trial against
Potter was to have been made on the
ground of the newly discovered evidence
| relating to the check for $500 which Potter
swore on the recent trial had been given
him by John Brown, a roustabout at Ba-
den, it now being charged that Potter paid
| this money to Mrs. Sadie Young, the pro-
prietress at that time of a house at 205

DIFFICULT MISSIONARY WORK.
Miss Suthon's Story of a Strange
Murder in Her House Which Yet
Remains a Mystery.

Miss G. Suthon, VINO for sevenlyears past
has been engaged in missionary work on
the curious out of the way island of
Hondo. belonging to Japan, and situated
500 miles from Toxic, is in the City.
Miss Suthon is from New Orleans and is
of the American Episcopal Missionary So
ciety.
She was the first foreigner who was ever
in this queer island, and was the only
European there for two years afterward.
Even now there are almost no Europeans
in that part of the Mikado's realm.
The lady says that when she went there
and for months afterward the natives in
spected her with wide-eyed wonder, as
though she were some strange being who
had dropped from the clouds. The chill
dren threw snowballs at her good deal at
first, for it SHOWS to a great depth there,
but otherwise she was not disturbed.
She was living and doing mission work
IN the town of Aomo, of 25 900 inha abitants,
at the extreme northern part of the island,
where there is fine harbor and military
station. At the station are about 5000
soldiers.
One day, so she tells, one of the princes
of the blood royal came up to take COM
mand of the troops. There was an enor-
nous crowd to greet the prince, and she

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Jan. 23.-C.
A. Altmanspager, who was arrested a
Minden, Iowa, yesterday for forgery and
embezzlement, waived examination this
morning at Avera, and was held to the
Grand Jury at Council Bluffs in the sum
of $4,000. Bonds have not yet been given,
and the prisoner is still in the hands of
the officer.
Henry Wiese, one of the mem bers of the
Seiffert-Wiese Lumber Company, for
whom Altmanspager was manager at
Minden, said this afternoon that the prob
able loss the company would sustain was
larger than first reported. New develop
ments in the case are showing Altmans-
pager to have been carrying on his steal
ings in many lines, and it is now believed
his peculations will amount to over $50. .OOO
He ran an insurance agency and failed to
send in hundreds of policies. Through a
building association at Avera for which
he received remittances to be forwarded
he secured another large amount and
while acting as a forwarder of taxes to the
County Treasurer he is also thought to
have taken large amounts. The school
district of Minden is out $2915, and he
looted number of trust funds that he had
charge of.
Altsmanpager was high liver and
had an elegant house in Minden, a town of
400 people. He kept a team and servants
and a cellar stocked with imported wines.
He has wife and five children.

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 23.-Tom Gala
CHER excelled all his previous performances
in the billiard line at the tournament this
afternoon by running out his string of 400
points in fourteen innings; while Sutton,
whose billiards entities him to sixth place,
scored paltry 50. He is evidently out OF
his class. ''Gray Toms" average was
2S S-14. This beats the highest averages
made by Jake Schaefer and Frank Ives be-
fore they met the last time here and in
New York, when both the Wizard and the
Napoleon of billiards made such phenom-
enal runs and averages.
But the performances in the champion
ship games were made with the anchor
not barred. Previous to the last two
tournaments the best average, anchor in
cluded, 500 points up, was q made by
Schaefer and 16 by Ives. Gallagher ran
up 104 to-day with ease and fell on a hard
masse.
Mclaughlin, the player from the Quaker
City, tonight added another game to
those he has won, defeating HatIey, the
brawny man from Duluth, who could only
muster 2S7 carroms to his credit at the end
of long and at times tediously slow
game. Mclaughlin passed the century
mark again, scoring 103 and falling down
when in great form to make a bigger run
on short one-cushion carrom.

LAWMAKERS IN TROUBLE,
Members of Ohio's Legislature
Under Arrest for Alleged
Corruption.
Grand Jury Indictments Charge Them
With Soliciting Pay for Their
Votes.

COLUMBUS, ONO, Jan. 23.-The Grand
Jury of this county created sensation
by It's partial report last evening. II has
been known for some time that the jury
has been investigating charges of bribery
against members of the State Legislature.
In the partial report are three such in
dictments.
The accused are all ex-mem bers of the
Senate. They are l.. c. Oil of Youngs-
town, W. G. Gear of Upper Sandusky and
John L. Geyer of this city. The latter
represented the Paulding District in the
Senate, but has recently removed to
Columbus
Gear is charged with asking Senator
George Iden OF Newark for $3.50 to vote for
bill TO pay him 500 to deiray his ex-
penses in a contest for his seat. Oil is
charged with asking for a like amount for
similar bill to recompense ex-senator
D. II. Gaumer of GAINESVILLE. He is said to
have been paid this sum. He is also
charged with proposing to give Senator e.
NJ. Avery of Cleveland $160 to hold up a
State university bill in committee. Geyer
is charged with asking for $400 to vote for a
bill empowering trust companies to ad-
minister estates.
He asked 1t of w. F. Burdell of this city,
who is the president OF such company
and presumably interested in the passage
of such measure. 1t is understood that
there is more to follow.
Senators Geyer and Gear were arrested
here tonight and a deputy Sheriff left for
Youngstown at midnight for Senator Oil.
Iden, Oil and Avery are Republicans and
Geyer, Gear and Gaumer are Democrats.
