Piute. Cal. and his brother-in-law.
Raymond Walters, were shot and Sc
riously wounded by Harry Burris. a
bartender, in a transfer Office at Fourth
street and Broadway here late this aft
ernOOn. Burris then ran to his room in
a lodging house, a block and a half
distant, and blew out his own brains.
The enforced attentions of Burris upon
Mrs. Allen and an attempt by him to
extOTt money from her are said to have
caused the shooting.
Allen and his wife came here from
Kern County this morning and were
at the transfer office arranging to have
their trunks sent 70 their rooms when
Burris entered and uttering an oath
opened fire upon Allen with revolver.
Burris fired two shots, one of which
took effect in Aliens neck. infiicting a
serious wound. Allen then drew his re-
vOlver and returned the fire. but missed
Burris. At this juncture Raymond
Walters, a brother of Mrs. Allen, en-
tered the office, and Burris turned on
him and fired one shot. which also took
effect in his neck. Burris then fed
from the building. pursued by officers.
and committed suicide before they
could arrest him.
The wounded men were removed to
hospital. where their wounds were
treated. Neither man was pronounced
dangerously injured. Burris was living
with his wife at the hotel where he
killed himself. He had known the AL
len family about two years.

As cheap rates were put into effect to

get, or rather keep some of their por-
tlon or the passenger business. Then

10 oiLer cheap rates for protection.
As q consequence tickets can be pur-
cldsed TO points in almost every di-
Iectlon for the price Of one fare plus

Most of these tickets are limited
