SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 16.-Al
Livermore shot his wife about O'Clock
this evening, putting two bullets
through her right lung and then put
bullet through his own head. He died
instantly. There has been family
trouble between them for several years
and many quarrels in which ne

connected with dry goods store:
Livermore called at her house to-
night while she was getting supper, and
with but few words drew a revolver
and fired, the bullet striking her in the
left breast and coming out under the
arm. He aimed for her heart, but as
he pulled the trigger she partly turned
to fee and the bullet made a severe
flesh wound, but it is thought it will
not prove fatal unless blood poisoning
sets in.
AS she fell Livermore turned the re-
volVer to his own head and pulled the
trigger, the bullet going through the
head and striking the door frame, max
ing a wound that proved instantly
fatal.
The children were in the house at the
time, but did not see their father or
know he was there until they heard the
shots, L-vermore passing through the
house from the front door and shooting
his wife in the latticework kitchen
where she was preparing supper.
The full name of deceased is Albert
Hamlin Livermore and his age SO. He
has been hard drinker and has no
home more than the livery stable where
he worked. He has a brother now do
ing time at Folsom known as
Smoothly Livermore.

Within sixty days the final act in the
consolidation of the water companies Will
have been transacted, and Oakland will
be without the benefit of competition.
The experience of the last four years has
cost the Contra Costa Company five mill
lion dollars, two millions of which have
been lost owing to competition and three
million dollars represents the price paid
to Hayward and Dingee for their plant.
t. The details of this deal show to great
extent the inflated value placed upon the
Oakland Water Company plant by Its pro-
moters. Before the committee of the
COuncll d year ago Mr.. Dingee argued
that the value of his plant was some
where between four and five million dol
lars, and on this capitalization he ex-
pected the reasonable interest allowed by
law. The deal practically clinched at to-
days meeting of the directors and stock
holders of both companies shows that at
the value of shares to-day the amount
paid the new company is S2,o05, 900.
This morning the directors of both COM
panies and many of the shareholders at
tended a special meeting to consider the
proposition of absorbing the Dingee COM
pany. All the large interests We're rep.
resented, but there was not sufficient

Some facts were brought out at the
meeting which show that there is danger
Of a scarcity of water unless both plants
are acquired. At present Lake Chabot
contains but fifteen feet of water, which
point has never been reached since Oak
land was half the size 1t is now. Some
of the stockholders objected to a deal
mainly on account of the price to be paid
for the Dingee company, but the Contra
Costa officials showed that two million
dollars had already been sunk, and that
as an additional plant is necessary 1T is
quite cheap to buy off the opposition and
obtain all necessary plants for dry sea-
son for an additional $4,000, 900.
one objector declared that the Dingee
plant would be expensive at one million
dollars, but a majority of the directors
and shareholders had determined on the
deal and objections had no weight.
Victor Metcalf, who represents the Cha
bot interests, says it will take sixty days
to make the formal transfer; He says
the consolidation is necessity owing to
drought.

Mrs. Mary NanderWater,- a. sister of the
Mesdames: Green; was also in. court, and
told of the family troubles. Some years
ago. John Green went to the Luney homo
and took away Miss Lizzie, who was then
1915 years old. Green and Lizzie COM
nfenced Housekeeping, and Mary. the
elder sister started in to right matters.
when. Green forestalled her by declaring
that" he had married the child by con-
tract and produced written document
IN proof of his claim. Mrs. Yanderwater
was satisfied, and Green and Lizzie were
always known as husband and wife from
that time They had several children, of
whom two are living. There was ample
:. testimony to support. the story told by
Mrs. Nanderwater. =.
. A month ago Green. became tired of the
girl he. claimed 10 have married seven
years, ago, so he came over to Oakland
with her sister Maggie and they were
married by Justice Quinn. Maggie at
this time was well aware that for seven
years Green had passed as the husband
of her younger sister.
The second Mrs. Green was placed on
the stand by Prosecuting Attorney Leach
and without q blush admitted knowing
that her sister had long been regarded
as Mrs. Green. She said she had con-
Sented to marry Green because he had
shown her a paper signed by her sister
releasing Green from his marriage. con-
tract. After she saw that paper and also
his discharge papers from the army, In
which he was set down as a single man
Maggie supposed he was legally single
and married him.
AS the prisoner left the courtroom after
adjournment he spoke a few words to. the
second Mrs. Green, and she seemed to
expressed no i'll feeling toward him for
deceiving her regarding his being single
at the time of the marriage in the Oak
land courtroom. The case will be re-
sumed Saturday.
