evening the house was in a fair way
toward com pletion. For the men only
work on Sundays, understand, the day
that is their own, to enjoy in their own
way or give to a friend, as they see fit.
The wet weather and muddy roads of
the vicinity has hiuuered the work some
what but it has gone on with great speed
nevertheless. Yesterday there were Mt
work in the house-raising party D. n. v.
Roberts, j. G. Heymer, Joe Colabell, Fred
Steen, Jim n rlson, August Anderson, Bob
Inglee, j. Hutchinson, II. Hagerman and
Lewis Gordon, all members of Carpenters
Union 483.
1t was in truth an oldfashioned house
raising. They began bright and early and
worked speedily and cheerfully until
noon. Then the call to dinner was
sounded They knocked off and adjourned
in body to Meters house, where Mrs.
Meter had prepared for them a savory
and substantial dinner, which she, with
the assistance of her little daughter,
served, the affair having all the merry
goodfellowship of picnic.
Another Sunday will probably see the
little house completed, and, after the
painters and plumbers have gotten
through. the Meters will be able to move
in and declare as fact that they are llv-
ing in their own house.

Meter yesterday, "for the members OF a

Not Instantly Killed.

is to toss her thin little brown arms to
and fro and to groan regularly and cease
iessly.
Little Mary is the daughter of S. Arata,
Junk man, and is one of family of four.
Her eldest brother is years old, and
over her little baby sisters head nine
short months h ave just passed.
For the past year mlsfortunes have over
taken the Arata household. First, sick
ness visited the head of the house, and
now the sad reality OF being one of the
great army of unem ployed stares the poor
bread winner in the face.
1--WE had Just finished our dinner to-day
when the accident happened" said the
mother of the little sufferer. II was clean-
ing off the table and my husband was sit
ting leisurely by, smoking his pipe. Lit
lie Mary was not moment out OF the
room, in fact l had not y missed her,
when we heard terrible scream, and be-
fore we could realize what had happened
two kind neighbors were bringing our un-
conscious little girl into the ROOM"
Clutched tightly in the hand of the child
was rope which she had been dangling
out of the bedroom window when she fell.
That little Mary did not meet with in
slant death is probably due to the fact
that in falling she struck the iron railing
of cellar that leads off from the street,
directly below the window from which
she fell.
Dr. A. de Luc:s was called to attend the
child. The DOCTORS diagnosis is to the
effect that little Mary is suffering from
internal injuries, the full extent of which
he has not been able to determine. She
suffered confusion of the stomach and
liver and had several stomach hemor-
rhages during the day. No bones were
broken, however, and although the little
girl is dangerously injured the doctor
thinks that the patient may pull through.

AROUND THE ! IAMOND.

The Alerts Defeat the Santa Claras In
Close Game.
The Alameda Alerts smut out the visitors
from Santa Clara at Central Park yester-
day by score of 2 too
Both teams gave as fine an exhibition OF
baseball as has been played at Central
Park. The ball was freely hit, but the
clever fielding prevented any one reaching
first.
The Alerts scored one OF their few runs
in the second. Krug started the inning by
sending a fly to short, which was neatly
w. Hammond's grounder and allowed
Hammond to reach first He then went
| to second on Graham s passed ball.
Graham recovered in time to head Ham
mond off, but Carriea fun bled, the runner
going to third, and coming home min
ute later on McKee's pretty single to
right field. Jacobson struck ont, and ].
Hammond hit to second and out, ending
the inning.
The Santa Claras played in hard luck.
Time and again they had men on bases,
bui Mckee would settle down and either
strike the batter cut, Or the ball would be
hit to third or shortstop,' invariably run
ming heir own man out.
Mckee was in fine form and kept the
Santa Claras guessing at his Gu rves.
Steffani also pitched good ball, but the
Alerts became familiar with his curves
and he was batted freely.
The Santa Claras' fielding was far supe-
rior to that of the Alerts. The catching
of foul tips by Graham was one of the
lea lures.
Next Sunday the San Francisco Athletic
Club will play the A!erts and great game
is expected.

SOCIALISTS IN THE COUNTRY.
Speakers Will Be Sent Out to Spread
iaIi iati ri

Socia1istic Doctrines.
On the opening of the spring, or at least
as soon as the weather becomes set
tied, the Socialist labor party will
send wagon or a van into the country
for the purpose OF spreading the teachings
of Socialism. The money is already
collected for this work and a large
quantity Of literature on matters of politi-
cal economy and Socialism is being gath
cred for free distribution from the van.
Several we'll informed speakers will travel
in the vehicle from place to place and de-
liver addresses and distribute reading
matter wherever they can find people
willing to be enlightened. 1t is believed
that the party viii start south from here.
Last year wagon was sent along the
northern route and much plogress was
made in making converts to socialism.
In fact several branches were started in
the towns north Of this city, and reports
show that these new bodies are gaining in
mum bers and prominence.
The socialists of this City have on hand
preparations for two celebrations. The
first is that of the Paris Com mune, which
will be held at lis rurk street on the 18th

A FEUD THAT
ENDED FATALLY
Policeman George Dough
erty Murders H. E.
Sullivan.
He Sends a Bullet Through the
Heart Of His Long-Hated
Enemy.
The Officer Makes an Attempt to Eni
His Own Life and Is Badly
Wounded

Murder as far as is known unprovoked
and coward ", was com m tied in Edward
Lunstedt's saloon, corner of Powell and
O'Farrell streets, at an early hour this
morning.
H. E. Sullivan, barkeeper employed in
Boyle's saloon in the Potrero, who resided
at 1862 Tennessee street, was shot dead
by George Dougherty, a police officer
of the Southern station squad, and The
murderer then turned the death intiicting
weapon on himself and made desperate
attempt to end his own lie, but in this he
failed.
Sullivan, the murdered man, and
Dougherty, his slayer, accompanied by
several friends, entered the saloon IN
which the tragedy took place about mid
night.
According to the proprietor of the
house, Mr.. Lunstedt, the principals in
the unfortunate affair began to scuffie
and wrestle around the barroom.
They finally tired of the diversion, how
ever, and Sullivan left his companion and
entered one of the rear rooms of the sa-
loon.
He re-entered the bar-room a little later,
and instead of resuming the scuff1e en-
tered into controversy with Dougherty.
The conversation became exciting and
noisy.
Lunstedt finally cautioned the men to
mod ulate their voices.
This was not done, and suddenly, and
without warning, Dougherty sprang back.
and facing Sullivan. who was leaning
against tue bar, drew a revolver and
fred.
The bullet went straight to its mark,
and crimson splash from Sullivan's left
breast showed the bull t's entering place.
Sullivan grasped the bar rail with both
hands, turned an ashy color, and slowly
sank to the floor
Just as he lay back dead a second shot
soanded and Dougherty was seen to have
fired another at his victim.
This, however. was unnecessary. The
first leaden missile had done its work,
Sullivan was dead.
Dougherty then fred another shot, in
tending to pierce his own brain.
The bullet entered at the right side of
his nose, crashed through that organ,
ranged to the left and fractured the skull
over the right eve.
The policeman reeled back and dropped
the revolver. The blood was squirting from
his face, and he was about to leave the
saloon when Officers B. Harter and Hay
den, who heard the shots, entered the
plac and placed him under arrest.
He was hurried to the Receiving Hos
pital for treatment. DR.. Thompson, who
removed the bullet, which remained
imbedded in the frontal bone. pronounced
the wound dangerous, but not necessarily
fatal.
Sullivan's body was removed to the
Morgue.
James Boyle, a friend of the murdered
man, who witnessed the shooting affray,
was taken into custody.
He stated that the two men had been
enemies for long time and that the
friends of both have been expecting
serious trouble between them for some
time.

BUILT HIS HOUSE
ON SUNDAYS
How Louis Meter Recouped
HIS Fortune After
a Fire.
Members of His Union Gave
Him a Lit on Their
Day Off
A BIZ of Practical Fraternity by Which
the Mechanic Is Enabled to Be-
come a Householder.

The throngs of people who rode on the
electric-cars out the road to Ingleside yes
terdav were struck with a rather novel
spectacle for Sunday. 1t was big gang
of men at work building house.
In times like these, when the army OF
the unemployed keeps growing and no
mechanic of any trade may be found who
complains that there is more work on
hand than can be done IN the six days of
the week, the sight of small army of
carpenters hammering and saving and
putting uprights and crosspieces in place
as though their future depended on their
completing the building in one day was
sufficient to cause many wondering eyes
to be turned their way as the crowded
cars sped past them.
The fact is the men were working thus
industriouslv without pay. They were
putting in their holiday building house
for Louis Meter. one of their fellows of

Captain Wilson, Road-House Pro-

Barkeeper.


During an alteration last night, Cap
tain Wilson, proprietor of the Golden

resort, stabbed his barkeeper, Arthur
Medium, in the neck and abdomen.
1t was thought that the barkeeper was
fatally injured.
Just how the trouble that culminated
in. the stabbing affray started is not
known. The principals had always been
friends and it Is presumed that liquor is in
large measure responsible for what may
prove to be murder.
The police at the Seventeenth-st no
lice station were notified of the cutting
and a wagon was sent to the road house to
remove the injured man to the hospital.
Wilson could not be found by the police
when they reached the scene of the
crime, and it is presumed that he intends
leaving the City. He is described as
