succession shortly after midnight this
morning aroused the people in the vi
ciniy Of Brannan and Ritch streets.
The shots were fired by August Kolb,
a blacksmith residing at the Winches-

Kolb says he had come from the
fight with his steDsOn. Albert Hart
man. and was on the way 10 the boys
home at Brannan and Ritch streets
when three men jumped out of the
darkness and attempted to hold him
UP. He says one of them hit MIN on
the jaw and sent him reeling TO the
other side of the street. When he
arose, Kolb adds. he fired three times
at the men. Policeman Moran then
came on the scene, but the men dis
appeared in the darkness.
Kolb had $40 and a gold watch and
chain on his person He says his step
son chanced to mention the names OF
the Norss brothers when he saw three
men standing near the corner OF Ritch
and Brannan streets moment before
the trouble occurred.
The Norss brothers claim there is a
long standing grudge between Kolb
and themselves and that the former
fired point blank at them when he met
them on the street, saying: Now I've
got you. Charley" The Morss BROTH
