DANGEROUS KNIFE WOUND
G. w. Boettcher Stabbed by an
Infatuated Negro

Z. w. Boettcher, a German plasterer re-
siding at 1861 West Twelfth street, had a
narrow escape from death Monday after
noon. Boettcher, Sam Pain and colored
bod carrier, named George, were at work
on building on Broadway, north of Sixth
street. Pain and the colored man got into
a quarrel, and ceased work, to enable them
to Jaw" Boettcher who was on plat
form about four feet above the floor, ordered
George, who was below, to 60 about his bust
ness. The bod carrier replied that he did
not have to obey Boettcher as the latter was
not his boss, whereupon Boettcher started
toward the darkey, saying he would make
him cease his fuss.
The darkey threw his empty hod at Boett-
chr, but the latter lodged. The negro
stepped up to the edge of the platform and
made several slashes with knife at Boett
cher's body. Boettcher at first thought the
man had merely struck him with his hand,
but happening to look down, he saw blood
squirting from his left leg. The colored
man in the meanwhile had run away.
Boettcher was taken to the office of DR..
T.. V. Van Norman at 525 South Broadway,
and an examination of his wounds was made.
1t was found that he had sustained long,
deep cut on the left side of the abdomen.
a similar cut on the right abdomen and a
long cut on the right leg below the knee,
reaching to the bone. Had the knife varied
half an inch in either direction in making the
wound on the left side it would have pierced
the femoral artery with fatal results
Boettcher was removed to his home, and yes
terday was thought to be out of danger
He says he does not think he will make any
criminal charge against his assailant.

TELEPHONES WANTED
Police Commissioners Think Them
Necessary to the Alarm System

The matter Of adding telephone service
to the police signal system was brought to
the attention OF the board of police com
missioners in the report of the special COM
mittee appointed to investigate the bid on
the signal system. The committee recon-
mended that the bid Of the Gamewell Fire
Alarm and Telegraph company be accepted,
with the understanding that it includes the
telephone transmtter and receiver. Mr..
Preuss said that the specifications did not
call for the receiver, etc., but that the COM
mittee supposed that they were included in
the signal system. "The system without the
telephones would be very incomplete" said
he, "and we would advise that the board
| recommend to the council the purchase or
rental of telephones, in case the bid does
not include them
Chief Glass was of the opinion that the
bid OF $9975 for 5O-boX system without tel
ephones was too high, and stated that in
San Francisco the same company had put
in 40-box system for little over $1,000. He
thought the city should own the telephones,
and estimated they could be purchased for
about $40 each.
On motion of Mr.. Gibbon, the matter was
referred back to the special committee to
consult with Mr.. Rose, the Gamewell COM
pany's agent, and to secure prices on tele-
phones.

about to adjourn when Herman Brose
stepped forward and asked to be heard. The
board recognized Mr.. Brose as an old friend,
as he and his partner Schlitz had succeeded
some time ago, after hard struggle, in Sc
curing a license for a saloon at Requena and
Main streets.
He complained that his partner was try
ing to swindle him out of his interest in the
establishment. "IIe leaves me to do the
work." he said, "and expects me to pay the
bills.

about my license"
Did you get that petition!" inquired Mr..
Wyman.
Yes, sir" replied the German, with a
puzzled expression.
This statement caused sensation. When

inquired of each member of the board If
they had signed petition and received four

Mr.. Schroeder must have misunderstood

Upon investigation, it developed that the
city clerks office had not been informe d
that the license had been revoked until the
first day of December. When the Informal

office: A deputy clerk applied to the office
for the return of the license, but was In

ton was made in favor of giving Schroeder
a license. Before it was seconded Commits
sioner Wyman stated that he had been in
formed from a reliable source that Schroeder
had not closed the saloon on the first of the
month and that it had been running since
that time without license. Mr.. Schroeder,
who had been up to this time silent but
interested witness, was called upon to tes-
tify as to the truth Of the information. The
witness in broken English said it was true,
but added that he had secured q new H.
cense.
"a new license" echoed Mr.. Wyman;

Schroeder replied from the license office.
"It seems" said Mr.. Gibbon, that the
authority of this commission has been ig-

against the street superintendent accept
ance of the street work constructed by Con

are that the work is not done in accordance

has been used in the construction was not

that it is inferior in quality to the samples
on file in the city clerk office.
