REVIVES HABIT
OF WOOLLY WEST
Stableman Shoots Up the
Town Because Peddler's
Necktie Is Inartistic
FID0 THE ONLY VICTIM
Poodle Is Blended With the
Sidewalk by Pedestrian
Who Flees From Firing
FIDO THE ONLY VICTIM

The innocent but obsolete pastime OF
shooting up the town was revived by
Edward C. Giblin. striking stableman,
yesterday Though bullets flew north,
east. south and west from Post and
Polk streets, there was nobody hurt
but fat poodle dog.
1t was not bullet that sent this
gentle but unprepossessing animal to
an early grave. A fat man named John
Blibbetts heard one of Giblin's leaden
pellets whiz past his ear and fed for
cover. He stepped upon the poodle.
which was blended with the sidewalk
beneath his heavy foot. One bullet en-
tered Polk street restaurant and fiat
tened against a tenderloin steak. The
others faded into the landscape.
Giblin was standing before the Ex-
celsior stables. at 1000 Geary street.
Suddenly a peanut vendor drove by.
He wore a red and green necktie, which
offended Giblins esthetic tastes.
I'D knock your head off for 10 cents, T"
volunteered Giblin.
Instead Of jumping at this bargain
the peddler hastened on his way. Stung
by this lack of appreciation, Giblin
drew his revolver and fired shot sky
ward.
The petulant pop of the pistol sound
ed musical 60 his ears. Memories of the
days before the West became like the
"effete East" came back to him.
"Whoop!" shouted Giblin. Wake,
snakes, and crawl. I'm Deadwood Pete,
the terror of the plains. I'm the orig
inal bad man from Bodie."
When the smoke cleared away Giblin
began to realize that he had been a
very bad boy. He walked into the near
est saloon and laid his pistol on the
bar. Come (hic) deliver myself (hic)
Justice he said tearfully. Put bunch
of flowers on Chic) grave. Say (hic)
died game" And Giblin subsided into
peaceful slumber, with his head in a
cuspidor.
He was arrested. but no felony charge
will be placed against him, as the only
fatality that resulted was the death of
the poodle.
Out on Polk street, near Post, there
is a stain on the sidewalk, over which
is written the simple inscription.
''Fido." But Giblin cannot be held di-
rectly responsible for the innocent ami
mails tragic end.
Giblin is the man who swore to the
complaint against the negro stable
men, Smith and Williams. charging
them with the murder of Anthony
Gallagher. who was shot and killed a
few days ago at Polk and Post streets.
Giblin swore at the Coroner's inquest
that he never carried a revolver.

BULLET SMASHES WINDOW
AND THEN STRIKES GIRL
Patriotic Citizen Shoots Into Store OF
Joe Rosenberg and Wounds
Elufena Collins.

The jubilation of some patriotic
citizen will cost Joe Rosenberg the
price of a new window in his store at
SIC Market street
About 10 o'clock last night Dave
Mitchell, one of his employees, was in
the act of making some changes in
the decoration of the window, when
he heard something crack and looking
at the plate glass window he saw a
bullet hole through it. At the same
time one of the clerks, Miss Flutena
Collins, who was standing close by,
complained of having been hit blow
on the leg by something. 1t caused
her such acute pain that she was
obliged to go home.
1t is now the supposition that the
bullet, after breaking the window.
plowed it's way through lot of goods
and finally hit Miss Collins. She was
not seriously injured.

LIE FEUVE TAKES TIP
OF JAPANESE OFFICER
French War Correspondent Abandons
MikadO's Country for a Visit to
st. Louis Exposition.


Take a trip to the United States
then come back to Japan and witness
the closing incidents of the war, and
you will then have CLEANED as much
information regarding the strife as
the correspondents who are now
locked UP in Toxic"
This was the tip given Paul lie
Feuve, a representative of several
French and Belgian papers in the ORR
ent, by a prominent war official of the
japanese Government The newspa-
per man, who had been several
months in Toxic impatientIy awaiting
a chance to go to the front. accepted
it. He arrived here yesterday and is
registered at the Palace. He repeats
the stories of other correspondents to
the effect that none of them have had
a chance to see any of the fighting.
A month ago LIE Feuve quietly ap-
pealed to one of the Japanese officials
of the War Department for informa-
ton as to when he might hope to get
to the scene of actual warfare. He
was told he might never have that op-
portunity. The official. apparently ap-
preciated the anxiety of the French
man and suggested that he should do
a little sight seeing in America before
the war ended, which, he added, from
a Japanese point of view, was very
certain to be within six months. LIE
Feuve speaks in the highest terms Of
the military organization of Japan,
admitting that it is excelled by no
similar body in Europe. The corre-
spondent will return to the Orient in
about three months unless the war
ends sooner.
