SHOTATTHECONDUCTOR
MARROW ESCAPE OF j. w. SMITH
OF PICO HEIGHTS
An Unknown Man Shot at Him from
Dark Place-Not Case
Of Hold-up

j. w. Smith. a conductor on tho Pico
Heights electric line, had narrow escape
from death or serious injury at the hands
Of an unknown man. The affair occurred
about n:2O Saturday night, on the return
trip of car No. 1853. The motorman, y. B.
Cook, had turned the car over to Smith
and gone inside the car to examine and
arrange the armatures. On Pico street,
near G street, is clump of trees, which
makes the street very dark. Smith noticed
a man standing ip the shade, and. sup
posing that he desired to board the car,
was on the point Of stopping 1t, whom he
saw flash, heard report of q revolver
and heard bullet whistle close to Ills
back. Smith took no chances. but turned
on the current to the limit and sped away.
Why the man shot at the conductor, and
who the fellow may be are matters Of con-
lecture. 1t is not thought that the man
was trying to hold UP the cor, for he could
easily have signaled Smith to stop. On
the other hand, neither Of the members Of
the crew knows Of any enemy that would
have tried to kill him. Several nights ago
drunken man boarded the car on Second
and Spring streets, with a quantity of meat
in his arms. The meat was unwrapped.
and he proceeded to deposit it on the seat,
which became smeared all over with blood,
Motorman Cook demonstrated with him
and slight alteration ensued. The man
got of the car at g street. and. as the
shooting occurred at the same point, the
two events may have some connection. The
police were notified.

ciscos assaulted Catcher Daubenbis Of the
Santa Cruz nine. A rough-and-tumble
fight seemed imminent. but others players

in this city was played between the Gilt
Edges and the Olympics of San Francisco
at Snowflake park today, and resulted in a
victory for the locals. the score being IS
to 4.
The Gilt Edges practically won the game
in the first inning, when, owing to the
erratic box work OF Fitzpatrick and to
their heavy stock, they piled UP four runs.
There were no snappy plays made, and the
crowd was apathetic. Fitzpatrick re-
tired during the sixth inning, Phil Knell
pitching the game out, and doing effective
work. Harvey. who pitched for the Gilt
Edges, was in poor form and somewhat
wild. He was relieved in the sixth inning
by Doyle, who was very errdtic. The
game was drawn at the end Of the eighth
inning on account of the lateness Of the
hour. Score by innings:
