ficers that their man was in sight
Stroh drew his revolver and fired the
shot that will probably cost Gardner
his life. He quickly made his way in
to the house and hid behind the por-
tiers, where the officers found him.
Since the first statement made by Mr..
Gardner the doctors in attendance
have refused to permit him to be seen
by employees of the Police Department
and an ante-mortem statement that
would stand in court has been impossi-
Bile to obtain. Chief of Detective Be-
hen is much exercised over the fact, as
he made every effort to render the case
against Stroh a good one, remaining
in his office until IL o'clock on the
night Of the shooting in order to prop
erly direct the efforts of his men.
The pistol with which the shooting
was done has not yet been found,
though a diligent search has been
made for It.

In some way Tauchi learned that the
woman had not gone TO Oakland. To
the proprietor of the house in which
they lived he declared that he was go
ing to kill her, and begged him to tell
him where he could find her. Fearing
that he would carry his murderous
threat into execution one of the lodg-
ers seized him, and after a short strug-
then left the place, after threatening
to return and kill the man who had
disarmed him and also Mrs. Castillo.
Shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon the unfortunate woman re-
turned to her room, and was surprised
to find her new silk dresses cut in
pieces. Seeing the picture of her sis
ter's baby mutilated beyond repair she
summoned the landlord and demanded
an explanation. He told her of the visit
of the Japanese, and suggested that
she have him arrested. Amid tears the
woman said she loved him, and en-
phatically refused to have him thrown
in prison.
About an hour later Mrs. Castillo left
her room to see friend who lived in
the adjoining apartments. She re-

Prompted by jealousy a Japanese,
who is known as George Tauchi, late
yesterday afternoon fired four shots at
Mary Castillo, with whom he had been
living. In trying to evade the bullets
the unfortunate woman was stricken
with heart failure and died a few
minutes afterward.
The scene Of the shooting was in a
lodging house kept by Louis Tau at
9o1 Sacramento street. Immediately
after the strange fatality the Japanese
left the house, and up to a late hour
last night he had not been arrested.
About a year ago the unfortunate
woman met TAUGHT, who conducted a
japanese Immigration Bureau" in
Prospect place. She fell in love with
him, and he promised to make her his
wife. They rented a room in the house
where the shooting took place, and &C
cording to the proprietor they seemed
to be devoted to each other.
Shortly after Z o'clock last Saturday
night Tauchi, fired by jealousy, went
to the room which he and the Cas-
ttllo woman occupied, and was sur
prised to find her gone.
Thinking she had deserted him he
told friend that he intended to kill
her.

land rather than see another man
have her have concluded to make her
subject for the Coroner"
After visiting several saloons and
having various drinks the murderous
japanese placed two revolvers in his
pockets and started out, as he claimed,
to murder the object of his affections.
Failing to locate her he again visited
their room, but failed to find her.
Maddened at what he termed her
perddy, he took out his knife and cut
two of her best dresses in shreds. He
also destroyed a new hat which she
had bought several days ago and a pic
ture Of her sisters baby, which was
hanging on the wall. Evidently real
tzing that the Japanese intended to in
1ure her, the unfortunate woman con-
cluded to spend the night with a
friend. Shortly after he had left the
house the proprietor received the fol-
lowing message from Mrs Castillo:

Japanese, without word Of warning,
| drew his revolver and fired four shots
at her. So sudden was the attack that
| the unfortunate woman remained ap-
parently motionless, while her blood
| thirsty assaiIant vainly endeavored to
fill her with lead. AS the last shot rang
out Mrs. Castillo dropped to the floor
as if fatally wounded Evidently think
| ing that she was beyond all human aid,
| Tauchi, after replacing the revolver in
! his pocket, ran from the house and dis
appeared down Sacramento street.
! The wife OF the proprietor heard the
shots and after convincing herself that
the desperate Japanese had fed, she
went to her assistance. She found her
lying on the floor her head resting
against the door of her room. She was
unconscious and apparently in dying
condition. Thinking she had been
fatally wounded Mrs. Tau at once
summoned a policeman, who had the
woman removed to the Receiving Hos
pital- AS she was being taken into the
operating room she breathed her last
DR.. Howard, who was in charge, gave
as his opinion that the woman had died
from heart failure, superinduced by
fright.
AS soon as her death was reported to
the police Detectives Anthony and Dill
Ion were sent to find the Japanese.
They visited the house where the
shooting occurred and thoroughly
searched the woman's room. In a bu-
reau drawer was found the following
letter sent to Mrs. Castillo by her
mother who lives in jacksonville:
my Dear Little Daughter: I will
answer your letter to-day. I did not
answer 1t sooner as I wanted to send
you some tamales. We received your
box Of presents and am very much
obliged. Clea sends her thanks to you
and also Josie for the nice presents
you sent them. Tutzy is just playing
with her piano. Well, my darling
daughter, l must close with my best
love. Remember me to Lulu and also
to George. Sammy Littlejohn is here
to-day. He sends his love to you. Baby
is very glad that you remembered her.
She is very much pleased with the
nightgown. She is just as pleased as If
it were silk. George is mad at you be-
cause you did not send her dollie.
Your devoted mother.
JOSIE CASTILLO"
"P. S.-Papa thanks you for the split
peas. Please send me Lulu's address
so I can write to her and send her
some tamales."
It is said that the Japanese some
time ago conducted a cheap lodging
house on Dupont street. Recently he
sold IT out, and, according to one Of his
friends, he gave the money to Mrs.
Castillo. He declared that she squan-
dered 1t in riotous living and refused
to give him a cent AS he is well
known the police are hopeful of catch
ing him.

came to San Francisco In 1873. Since
1873 1 have been almost continuously
a freeholder. At the present time am
not so much of a freebooter as I have
been, but own three pieces of real es-
tate in San Mateo County and an I'M
divided interest in one piece here This
latter is not recorded in my name. My
partner In the enterprise pays the taxes
and stands off the street contractors,
assessors and tax collectors. This ex-
plains why in searching the assessment
roll Of last year the Examiner has not
found my real estate. The property is
located on Clement street. I have a
deed representing my interest, which 1
am willing to exhibit to anybody. If
recording this deed would make me any
more Of a freebooter than I am would
record it for the benefit of the Ex-
aminer. But recording deeds does not
make freeholders any more than being
onthe assessment rolls makes them. A
freeholder is one who owns an estate
Of inheritance or a life estate in real
property. A person might own a life
estate with millions and not be as
sessed for a dollar. If had bought the
Palace Hotel since the first Monday in
March 1 would not be on the assess
ment roll searched by the Examiner.
THE fact is the whole thing is a cam
paign dodge, and is unworthy the at
tention of respectable people. The
word freeholder,' as used in the consti-
tuition, is a mere designation. The
qualification presented for eligibility to
the charter board is five years resi-
dence in the city and county. This was
decided by the Supreme Court in the
case of Hecht. The constitution does
not say that the charter-makers shall
be freeholders. The word trustees
supervisors and commissioners are
used. The law says that Supervisors
shall be elected in the different coun-
ties. Does this mean that no person is
eligible unless he is a Supervisor? 1t
says that railroad commissioners shall
be elected. Must person be a Rail-
road Commissioner in order to qualify :?
Certainly not A man becomes a SUI
pervisor, Trustee, Commissioner. or
a freebooter in the sense of the con-
stitution after he is elected
L regard the charge of the Examiner
as a mere campaign trick, sprung on
the eve of election so that 1t will be i'm
possible of REPUTATION. Such tactics
ought not to fool anybody"

opposition to their inelastic document
Not content with advocating the
adoption of an unwieldy organic law,
| hard to change and full of features
that Will bear harshIy on the poor,
they have gone into the business Of de-
nouncing, holding up to ridicule and
otherwise assailing candidates whose
names appear on the fusion ticket.
Their chief objection to these honest
men, some of whom own but little
property, is that they were not born
with such golden spoons In their
mouths as those with which Willie
Hearst and Mayor Phelan first learned
to sip the rich diet of the millionaire.
Though shown, by the affidavits of
all whom they accused of owning moth
ing, to be guilty Of eleventh-hour lbels
and base political lies, the Examiner
and It's crowd Of tin-horn cIackers still
keep up the yell that the fusion candi-
dates are poor men.
If the test proposed directly and by
inference were to be held up as a model
all over the country the people would
soon have no power left. Those who
have been advocating for years that
the people should have more power
and the corporations less would live,
like Macaulay's New Zealander sketch
ing the ruins of st. Pauls, to hear the
death knell of popular rights and see
the decay Of every form of self govern
ment.
Under such a system as that which
is proposed by the agents of the cor
rupt there would have been no opportu-
nifty for a man like Lincoln to assert
his power. His immortal statement
that this is a Government of the peo-
| pie, by the people and for the people
would have never been made. They
would have made sucn a man Ineligible
for the humblest Office simply because
he had no worldly goods, and even had
| he possessed as much wealth as the
! friends of the one-man charter they
would have bound him by stringent
rules that would have made him the
messenger boy and supple servant of
the corporations.
But it is a fact that the masses are
thinking. They no longer believe In
the honesty of a newspaper whose COL
umns were bought by the railroad
! combination for a thousand dollars a
month. They are beginning to see that
there are many political wolves posing
with the faces Of lambs as white as the
one that followed the tabled Mary of
| olden days.
| A paper and a cause that prosper by
| yellow methods, by lies about the sim
plest facts, cannot expect to win the
votes of thinking men. People all over
the city have read the refutation of the
fallen journals lies about the fusion
candidates. Wise men are asking ''how
much there was in it, to cause the cir
Gus poster daily to fill its columns with
such base lies. Ever posing as a purist
the lurid sheet still pursues the meth
DDS of Barnum's bankers, those souls
bereft of every touch of honor, who
stood before the side show doors and
proclaimed that a woolly horse was in
side when they knew that the strange
creature on exhibition was merely an
ass on which the hide of ram had
| been glued for revenue only.
