KILLS JAPANESE
At RIFLE RANGE
Mrs. Frances Forsyth Uses
a Gun in Shooting Gal
lery and Hits Proprietor
SAYS Ii WAS ACCIDENT
Eye Witness Declares Weap-
OH Was Deliberately Aimed
at the Woman's Victim

The body of Am Noda, proprietor Of
a shooting gallery at SIS Kearny street
lies on a slab at the Morgue. Mrs. Flor
ence Forsyth, 2410 Jones street, occu-
pies a cell at the Hall of Justice and
to-day she probably will be formally
charged with his murder. The Jap
anese was shot through the Vbrain yes
terday morning by a. bullet from one Of
his own target rifles, which he had
just handed to the woman. He died
at the Central Emergency Hospital at
lis o'clock this morning.
Mrs. Forsyth claims the shooting was
accidental, but an eyewitness of the
tragedy declares she turned around and
aimed deliberately at Noda.
Mrs. Forsyth was under the influence
of liquor when she entered the shooting
gallery between IL and IL clock yes
terday morning. She paid Noda ten
cents and he handed her a 22-caliber
rifle, which he had loaded. The woman
raised the rife to her shoulder and
swung around. Just then the rifle was
discharged and the japanese dropped
to the floor with a groan.
Policeman Z. j. Kavanaugh and Spe-
cial officer Berge were close by at the
time. They arrested the woman and
sent the wounded Japanese to the Cen
trail Emergency Hospital. The bullet
had struck the unfortunate Japanese
on the right temple rendering him I'M
conscious.
Mrs. Forsyth said that when she
raised the rifle to her shoulder some
one spoke from behind to her and she
wheeled around. To her surprise the
rifle was discharged. She thought her
cape got caught in the trigger Max
Schwartz was an eye witness and he
declares that Mrs. Forsyth deliberately
turned around, pointed the rifle at the
Japanese and fired.
Detective Coleman has been detailed
ON the case. He found that Mrs. For
syth was living in a howell in the base
ment of 2410 Jones street and that her
record for sobriety is not good. He
was informed that she has a husband
who works in the sugar refinery, but
Policeman George Collins, who knew
her family in Oakland, said that her
husband, Edward Forsyth, captain of
a coasting schooner, was washed over
board and drowned while at sea some
years ago.

VISITOR TELLS DOUBTFUL
STORY OF DARING HOLDUP
A. o. Hess Says He Was Robbed of
5000 by Masked Man. but De-
cides to Let Matter DrOp.

A. O. Hess, who claims to be
clergyman from Portland, related to
the police yesterday a weird tale of
being held up by a masked man at
Montgomery avenue and Pacific street
shortly after midnight yesterday
morning and robbed of 5000
and watch. He said he
was seeing the sights with a friend
whom he met on the street and that
the latter left him minute before the
masked man appeared.
A dispatch from Portland says that
Hess had a similar experience there
some time ago, but his story was re-
ceived with some doubt. However, he
gained much sympathy and received
financial aid at the time. Hess prom
ised to come to Captain Burnetts of
flee at 1880 last night and aid the de-
tectives in capturing the alleged rob-
Der. He called, but told Captain Bur-
nett that he had secured a job with
the Santa Fe railroad and decided to-
let the matter drop.

OF CONFLICT IN THE EAST
in Few Japs Stay Many Bearded
Russians.

Like a melodrama of the American
Civil War was the Japanese play.
"Ainoko"-"The Acknowledgements

there were japanese instead Of North

the Japanese conception of the bearded
Russian, stood in lieu of Southerners-
Whoever says that the Japanese are
an Unconditional race shouiu have been
at that play last night. When an army
of three Japanese charged through an
army of seven Russians and performed
feats Of Jul jitsu upon the Slavs, while
the bombs were bursting in air, the
gallery was as excited as the Central
Theater on Taturday night. There is
a plot in the thing that might give
some American concocters of melo-
drama valuable material The play
was given to raise funds for the wild
ows and orphans of soldiers killed in
battle
The tale is of a Japanese halfbreed,
whose father is a Russian named Dro-
ski. War is declared and the father is
one of the besieged at Port Arthur,
while the son is with the japanese
army outside. The father escapes. dis
guised as a Chinese coolie. but is cap
tured by Japanese privates. who beat
him cruelty. A colonel Of the Japs
rescues him and turns him over to the
son. The halfbreed receives informa-
ton from the parent regarding certain
forts The Russian father then begs
the son to kill him. After a struggle
the son complies with the request.
Then comes the battle scene. The half
breed, who has been despised by his
regiment, saves one of the men who
tainted him and is hailed as a hero.

Bales Not a Beneficiary.

The police ascertained yesterday
that Ernest N. Bales is not a benefi-
ciary in the will of Mrs. Annie EngeI-
berg. whom he is alleged to have &C.
cidentally shot last Thursday night.
Mrs. Engelberg willed most of her
possessions to a cousin in Gilroy. This
discovery leads the police to believe
that Bales is innocent OF any crime,
and unless the Coroner's jury holds
him, he will be dismissed from Gus

The "Run Down"'conditfon

The "Run Down" Condition
"Why do | feel used up and all run down. most
Of the time?'
How many ask themselves this question dailyf
The answer is simple It is lack of nerve force.
Science with its unerring methods Of research
has proved that the various organs and tissues OF
the body continue in health and perform their
work properly as long as their nerve supply re-
tans its vigor and strength. But II the nerves
degenerate or lose power from poor nourishment
or any other Cause the entire physiological mech
anism of the body is thrown out OF gear and we
have as a result some pronounced rundown
condition or disease
The heart, the stomach, the liver. all have their
GREAT nerve centres which supply them with the
power to work properly. When these nerve CEN
tres are weakened these important organs cannot :
act properly.

Prof Edward +. Phelps, the famous discoveref
of Pane's Celery Compound, was the first physi-
clan to openly declare twenty years ago that the
health of the human body depends entirely upon
the health of the nerves
Paine's Celery Compound furnishes food for
the nerves themselves, and, while gently stimuli
lating them, restores them to their original
strength and vigor and at once all the organs OF
the body take up their work and health is re-
stored.
Paines Celery Compound sends new life throb-
bing through every artery and gives that glorious
feeling of perfect health.
