KILLED HIS DIVORCED WIFE.
Then Captain Won Schmidt, Strange San Fran
cisco Character. Killed Himself.

San Francisco. April 10.-Capt. r. A.
Won Schmidt. one of the best known
San Francisco bay pilots, stabbed and
killed his divorced wife yesterday and
then stabbed himself dying almost in
stantly. About three months ago the
captains wife obtained a divorce be-
cause of his cruelty. but after this he
persisted in visiting her, so the court
was forced TO rule that on seeing his
children once a month he should not
enter the premises, but take the chill
dren away for two hours. Yesterday
he burst through the door and pursued
his wife through the house. stabbed her
and then stabbed himself five times in
the breast.
Capt. Won Schmidt was a picturesque
character. In early youth he was
threatened with consumption and Wen
to sea. He sailed mostly in the tropics
and wore little clothing. He noticed
when making his first voyage around
Cape Horn that the natives wore no
clothes and yet they endured the cold.
When he came here and entered the
government service as the dredger OF
Oakland harbors, he adopted a dress
Of cotton trunks, and seleom wore any
other garments at any season. He was
the king Of the water front. and no one
dared dispute him, as he carried a rife
and was dead shot. While his first
wife was alive she adopted pretty
young girl ballet dancer, and when she
died this girl became the captains wife,
She was very eXtraVagant and they
had many UuarrelS.
