fray on Stevenson

Locksmith, Fired the
Shot.

Joe Knauer, barber at 80 Third street,
staggered into barber-shop ol.Stevenson
street, between Third and Fourth streets,
last night, sank into a chair and aston
ished those present by saying he had been
shot.
At the Receiving Hospital it was found
that the bullet had entered the left side
and had lodged in the abdominal cavity.
The doctor was unable to extract it and it
is not vet known If the wound will prove
fatal.
Knauer made statement in which ne
said he had been shot out OF revenge by
A. L. Knott, locksmith, now il. business
in Stockton, but formerly at GAL Post
street.
"II's all about a dog" he said. lover a
wear ago l was out at North Beach and a
dog kept annoying me, and l finally
cked it up and threw it into the water.
1.-The dog belonged to Knott, and when
I threw it into the water he chased me
and beat me with a whip. | had MIN ar
rested for beating me and the Case was
trieu by Judge Joachimsen.
Knott was mad at ne for having him
arrested and swore to be revenged. | had
not seen him for five or six months, and
found he had gone away to Stockton.
"To-night after l closed up my shop
was walking along Stevenson street and
saw that a man was following ME. |

said. i have got you at last and now
will do for YOU. He pulled big gun out
of his pocket, pressed it against my side,
and before | could do anything to prevent
it he fired the shot and ran away"

the assalant in way that tailed with
the appearance OF the coat and hat orn
by Knott. Knott will not be charged
