San Francisco, Sept. IA. - Chris
Christianson, waiter, went home late
Tuesday night, with gunshot wound
in his head, and told his family thst
he had been shot while running away
from footpad. The story was repeat
ed to a neighbor. who, in turn, told it
10 policeman, and now Christianscn
is in heap Of trouble. On Tuesday
night, George McGrath reported that
he fired there shots at a burglar, who
had invaded his apartments, and from
blood marks the burglar left behind,
concluded he had wounded him. The
police found that three bullets had

the bow on the side Of the hat had been
shot away. The missing bow was
found in MoGraith's yard, and Chris
tianson is now in Jail, on charge Of

CONCENTRATING ArtIIlery Reglments.

San Francisco, Sept. 14.--Colonel
Shafter, formerly a resident Of Angel
island, has removed from there, his
household furniture and other goods
and chattels being transferred on the
government steamer General Mo
Dowell, and landed at Fort Mason.
This new move has no particular sig
nificance, except that 1t is carrying out
the orders issued couple Of months
ago by the war department It is un-
derstood that the purpose of the order
is to concentrate artillery regiments on
the seacoasts. To do this all the at
tached batteries Of the regiment, scat
tered in outlying stations, are ordered
in to headquarters where General
Graham will have them Immediately
under his eye at the Presidio. The
infantry companies must take the
place Of all artillery in the garrisons
heretofore occupied by the latter, there
by scattering Colonel Skaters regi-
ment over considerable territory, with
headquarters at Fort Mason. 1t is the
intention Of the department to abolish
number of the smaller posts now
scattered in this state and Oregon with
view to concentration Of troops.

and his wife, while driving home
some three miles from town, encoun-

brush at the roadside and seized the
brides Of their team. The farmer left

San Francisco Must Pay Large Sum
In Rebates.
San Francisco, Sept. 14.--Omcials
expect that descent will be made on
the city hall by thousands Of people
clamorng for rebate as soon as the
local tax rate is fixed. The city has
collected too much money from them
for personal property tax, and must
pay part Of it back.
Under the present law the assessor
must compel the payment Of taxes on
personal property not secured by real
estate as soon as he makes the assess
ment. In calculating the amount of
these taxes he takes the rate made by
the supervisors the year before. The
taxes are for one fiscal year and the
rate il for the previous fiscal year.
Confusion is thus caused. The rate
for the fiscal year for which these taxes
are paid is lower than that of the last
year, when the assessor collected at
the rate Of 81 25 on the 500, that
amount including state as we'll as city
taxes. This year the total rate for city
and state taxes purposes will probably
be less than $L60 on the 500, and the
difference must be refunded to the
taxpayers.
Auditor Broderick is said to have ar
rangements made in advance Of the
anticipated rush, and thinks there were
between $4,000 and $4,000 payments
for these personal property taxes. A
large amount Of clerical work will be
en6ailed. II is understood that specu-
lating capitalists have been purchasing
from taxpayers the right to receive the
