Gulf Coast breeze. [volume] (Crawfordville, Fla.) 1897-19??, 1898-12-16

A certain young lady, against whom
appearances certainly looked dark, once
had an amusing experience Of unjust
Judgment She went out on stormy
day, aud was unfortunate enough
to have her umbrella turned inside
out. Her two sisters were equally un-
lucky, and on the following day the
young lady volunteered 70 take tho
three umbrellas to be repaired.
Promising TO call for them before
she returned home in the afternoon,
she went about her business. part Of
which was to do some shopping in o
large city establishment. On rising
to leave the shop, she mechanically
put ont her hand to take possession
Of an umbrella that was close by. It
looked like her own, and for the mo-
ment she had forgotten the accident.
She was soon brought TO her senses.
THAT is my umbrella" said q sharp
voice at her side, and hand was laid
on her arm TO detain her.
Apoloeizing for her thoughtlcssness,
she left the shop, did the rest OF her
business, and called for her umbrellas.
In the street-car she met an indignant
pair OF eyes. Where had she seen
them before2 They scanned first her
face, and then the burden she carried.

MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING
UNKNOWN MAN HURT AT THE
WATSON LODGING HOUSE
There Was a Woman in the Case and
Two Men, One of Whose Blood
Dyed the Sheets

| About Q o'clock last night three pistol
shots were heard. fired in rapid success
sion, at Mrs. Watson's lodging house,
1913 South Main street, and soon after
man six feet tall, with his overcoat collar
turned up. walked leisurely down the
stairs and away into the street. No one
stopped him. Detective Hawley arrived
a few minutes later and investigated the
shooting. There was a woman in the
case, whom the officer took off with him
to the station.
Mrs Watson said that young woman
of medium height with dark hair and
eyes had rented room II from her at 7:45.
She carried a couple of parcels, which
We're afterwards ascertained to have
contained a pint and half pint of whls-
ky and a bag of peanuts. The pint flask
was half empty when brought to the
station along with the woman. Mrs.
Watson, after renting the room, went
to the Orpheum with her daughter, Mrs.
Florence Semmelmeyer.
The young woman with the dark hair
and eyes must have been awaiting
somebody, because soon after she had
TAKEN pOSSeSSlOn Ol lle TOOIil d young
man with a light blonde moustache
found no difficulty in gaining entrance
to it, Sometime later on the six-foot
man, who had evidently been on the
watch, walked up the stairs and eau
tiously marched up and down the hall
for some time. When he concluded
that he had played sentry long enough
he coolly put his shoulder to the door
burst it open, and then the fusillade took
place. The woman, almost completely
disrobed, ran out of the room, crying:
"Oh Ed DON'T" to the six-foot man.
She managed to get into a Mrs. Gray's
room, and the door was locked In the tall
mans face. In the meantime the young
man with the blonde mustache made all
speed in sneaking off by the rear stair
way into Mott alley, and thus into the
cold night
An investigation of the room showed a
bullet hole in the mattress and the bull
let a 3S-calber, was found in it. There
was some blood on the sheets and
spread, showing that the blonde man
had been winged, at least. The other
two bullets could not be traced. After
Detective Hawley had conversed with
the woman he took away, probably hav-
ing obtained a clew as to the identity Of
the man who did the shooting AS he
had not returned at the time of going to
press, although on duty at the station,
it is more than likely that he was on the |
fellows trail and had hopes of arresting |
him before daylight.
There was but one theory that was
advanced in the vicinity of the Watson |
lodging house, and it was that an out |
ragged husband had sought to wreak |
vengeance upon the despoiler of his |
home

CALIFORNIA OPINION
A Good Scolding

The outcome of yesterdays election
simply illustrates the folly Of which
people are guilty when they remain
away from the polls. The issue was
one Of very great Importance to San
Diego; it was a matter Of deep concern
to every resident; and yet more than
half Of the voters Of the city allowed
the affair to go by default OF course
1t was not to be expected that the total
vote would equal that of the last presi-
Dental election. STILL 1t might have
been supposed that the measure involv-
ing the welfare of the citys school sys-
tenn would have brought out more than
half the voters. OF course there is
no use now of lamenting on the result.
But probably all people will agree that
such apathy does not speak we'll for
San Diego San Diego Union.
