lie had grabbed her by the throat
and, placing the revolver to her head.
pulled the trigger. The cartridge
failed to explode. In his frenzy Free
not placed the pistol to his own head.
Twice he pulled the trigger, but each
time the revolver failed to go off.
The third time the bullet was dis
charged and Frenot fell to the floor
unconscious.
The police say Frenot was mad
with jealousy. For several months
past he has been employed by Mrs.
Miller as bartender, and, his
friends say, had become attached to
her. Three weeks ago he was dis
charged Edward d. Horstman, ut
l52 Washington street, was engaged
several days ago as a piano player.
According to the police. Frenot Was
Jealous OF Horstman, and several
times threatened violence to both
Mrs. Miller and himself.
Yesterday afternoon Frenot was in
Mrs. Miller's saloon when he received
A telephone message asking him to
50 to the saloon of Patrick Cunning,
81 West street. He went and there,
his friends assert, found Mrs. Miller
and Horstman. Some time later tho
three returned to Mrs. Miller's place,
taking seats aroundla table.
They were there only a short time
when Frenot whispered to Mrs. Mil
Ter: you may see something funny
come OFF here tonight" The next in
stant he was graphing with Mrs. Mil
ler. He had withdrawn the revolver
from his pocket and had pressed the
weapon against the woman's head.
His attempt at self-destruction fol-
lowed a minute later.
Mrs. Miller ran screaming from the
place. Word was sent to police head
quarters and Frenot was sent to the
hospital. Lieutenant Kuhn, of police
headquarters, who was assigned to
the Gaze, secured statements from
the witnesses, all OF which agreed on
the circumstances.
County Physician Mckenzie viewed
the body today and granted a burial
certificate. Frenot's body was taken
in charge by his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Louis d. Frenot, of 4s2 Wash
ington avenue.

ASKS APPRAISERS
FOR RADRUGSTORE
Legal Arguments Heard Over
the Ownership of Central
Avenue Pharmacy.

Legal arguments to determine the
ownership OF the Washington Phar-
macy, at 701 Central avenue, were
heard in the United States District
Court here today before Judge Thor1-
as G. Haight. He suggested that the
stock in the pharmacy be appraised
and the claimant given possession by
furnishing bonds to the amount of
twice the appraised value of the drug
store, pending a determination of the
ownership.
To carry out this recommendation
George Furst today applied to Bank
ruptcy Referee Edwin q. Adams for
the appointment of appraisers to fix
the value of the pharmacy. Mr.. Furst
is attorney for Edward r. McGlynn.
receiver for Otto H. Kleiman. an al
legged bankrupt and one-time proprie-
tor of the pharmacy.
The alleged bankrupt says he bor-
rowed 1900 from his uncle, Abraham
Fishman, giving a chattel mortgage
on the stock OF the pharmacy for se-
curity. The bankrupt says the uncle
turned the mortgage over to Israel
Fishman, a father-in-law of the al
legged bankrupt.
A petition In bankruptcy has been
filed against Kleiman and Mr.. Me-
Glynn, as receiver, has taken charge
of the pharmacy. The Fishmans de.
clare they own the drugstore and ex-
hibit a mortgage as proof OF their
claim. The mortgage is an old one
and Is disputed by the receiver.
Mr.. Furst says he win show that
Kleiman has been purchasing goods
and stock for the pharmacy in his
own name and in the same manner
he pursued when 1t is admitted he
owned the store. He also declares
that the creditors were never notified
of change in the ownership of the
business and that most of them still
believe the alleged bankrupt owns the
store.
Kleiman has liabilities of $500 and
upwards, with no assets other thar
the store.

dc better next time Only one ques-
ton was asked through i, and ran
some ming like this: 'Why do mission

little?" In answer tae leader tried

other needy stations, as we'll as to
preach the gospel al his own home
station, and how very much is accom-
plisned in this way, and how neces-
sary to have native aid at every turn.
To a question by the leader: "Why
should we send missionaries to ia
PAM" one lady, who seemed to mis-
understand the question said She
thought the reason people went as
foreign missionaries was ito see the
sights" To this the leader made no
reply at first, only calling attention 10
the fact that this was not the question
asked. Later the leader asked if any
one there would be willing to go to
the foreign field for a life time, and
the answer was by all who replied
''No, no, no" our sight seeing lady be-
