SHOEMAKER ARRESTED
HERE THIS MORNING

Frank Mcdonald. who has been
employed for the past few weeks in
Hayes shoe shop, was arrested this
morning by Sheriff Lewis on war;
rant issued in San Francisco charg-
ing him with assaulting two police
men with the intent to do great
bodily harm. A brother, Modest
Mcdonald. is also wanted on the
same charge. but he left few days
ago for Seattle. Sheriff Lewis tele-
graphed to that place today.
Mcdonald has wife and two chill
dren living on b street. His side
OF the story and that of his wife
has something to do with the al
legged efforts of certain parties in
San Francisco to force his wife into
a house of III fame. Mcdonald Is
said to have resented the inference
and trouble started. When the Of
ficers came to arrest him he said he
took the gun away from one and
then got his billy club, with which
he beat up the cop and another Of
ficer who came to his aid. He was
arrested and lodge in jail, but was
later let out on bonds.
While thus out he and his broth
er, who was in the fight, left the
country, and 1t is suspected that
that is the real reason for the war
