FIRED AT STRIKERS.
Two Non-Union Men Pelted With
Stones Defend Themselves.

San Francisco, July 17-III feeling be-
tween strikers and non-union men re-
suited in a shooting ARRAY last nighr
at the corner of First and Harris
streets. F. A. Pagendarn and Fred NJ
Cliff, employees of the Dundor Iron
works, discharged their revolvers into
crowd of strikers. one of the bullets
lodging in the fieshy part of William
Dunn's leg. The shooting was provok-
ed by an assault committed by num-
Der of strikers on Pagendarn and Cliff
who We're on their way home from
work and were followed by strikers
who jeered at them and pelted them
with stones. Threatening cries were
made when Cliff, who is an ex-soldier,
drew his revolver and called on Pagen-
darn to do the same. They then called
on the strikers to disperse. The reply
was shower of stones. The two
workingmen then fired their revolvers
into the air AS this did not stop the
throwing of stones they shot into the
crowd. The only man hit was william
Dunn, whose wound is not dangerous.

ELLIOTT WIS sBOOT.
Defeats Gun Club Marksmen in
Close Contest
RAILWAY WILL PAVE.
Promises to Fix Tracks az Streets Are
improved.

After all the talk about hardships
and special ordinances, the city street
railway has signified its willingness to
pave its tracks in the city whenever it
is necessary to do So
1t reached this decision when the
Kansas avenue pavement was knocked
out by the council This relieved the
railway from four blocks of double
track. and it was thought by c. c
Baker. president. and the other rail-
way men that the company could ar
range to pay for the rest of the work
The committee OF the council hav-
ing this matter in charge has found it
very difficult to get an ordinance which
would give the railway the right to
pay for its paving in ten yearly INSTALL
ments, and it is doubtful whether any
such ordinance could be drawn so that
it would hold water" So the an
nouncement that the company is able
to take care of the pavement which has
been thrown upon it solves what would
otherwise be very difficult problem.

CENTRAL PARK.
The City Makes the Levy to Sc
cure Purchase.
Costs From 43 Cents to S.
Per Lot In
THE BENEFIT DISTRICT
All West Of Kansas Avenue,
South Of Tenth.
The Park, Embracing About l3
Acres, Costs $4,000.

Another step toward providing the
city with a beautiful public ground
has been taken.
The ordinance providing for the rails
ing of funds to purchase Central park
has been published. The amount is Sc
cured by assessing the lots and pieces
of land in what is known as the bene-
fit district, all that portion Of the city
lying west of Kansas avenue and south
of Tenth avenue.
The tract viii cost s14,11S. 1t en-
braces about IS or IA acres Of land ex-
tending from Thirteenth street south to
Fifteenth street and from Clay street
TO the alley west of Fillmore street. The
streets in this portion of the city do not
follow straight lines and are very ir-
regular. An extra street, Piercy. runs
between Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Central park in general way is about
three and half blocks long and a
block and a half wide.
The lots in the benefit district are
taxed from 43 cents to a tri1e over SS.G GO
each, depending in the main upon the
distance from the park, on the theory
that the nearer the lots are to the park
the greater the benefit accruing to the
respective lots.
The purchase money for the tract is
divided into two portions: One S12.468
and another portion 81. $50. The latter
covers four lots which the city was
compelled to purchase by condemnation
proceedings. The ordinance covers
nearly 81 columns and two publications
are required. One to secure the revs-
nue. for the $l2,46S and the other to
raise the 81 $50. The cost of the D11hli-
cation each of the two times is about
500. There is one tract of land. FIVE
acres owned by the Union Land COM
pany, which must contribute $40. Sew
eral other tracts pay from $40 to $50.
