Thomas Doyle Is the Target, but Escopes Injury Because of the Unsteady Aim of the - Pioneer, “I've lived in California for fifty years, | and no man can call me a cur and live if I can help it.” i That is° the brief explanation ' given by aged John Sedgwick, freight agent of | the Southern Pacific Company in the office | at the foot of Vallejo street,-of why he | fired four shots from a revolver at his as- | sistant, Thomas R. Doyle, yesterday morning and came within a few inches of putting a bullét through that gentleman's head. Falling eyesight and an unsteady | | hand, due to nearly three-score years of hard work, saved Doyle from death, for in bis younger days Sedgwick was never | known to miss the man he had drawn a bead on. Nobody was hurt after all, but to satisfy the law Agent Sedgwick was arrested on a warrant sworn to by Doyle charging | him with attempted murder, H® was re- | leased at once, however, on bonds of $1000 | furnished by friends, many of whom | flocked to the rescue of the pioneer. Thers | are many versicns of the affair, but no | two of them seem to agree, even as to the | general details. | The shooting took place at 8:30 in the morning in the office. Half an hour be- | fore it occurred Doyle had assumed charge in the absence of Mr. Sedgwick, and C. W. Crabtree, Mrs. M, M. Hatch and Mrs. C. | Colson, clerks in the office, had taken thelr | accustomed stations. Sedgwick entered the office and ordered Mrs. Hatch to tele- phone to some one. He was still outside the railing when she reported that she could not get the party desired, or some- thing to that effect. ~All the ' witnesses | agree that the aged agent made some un- | complimentary remark to the clerk. Doyle | took a hand in the proceedings and upon | Sedgwick resenting his interference called | the old man ‘‘a dirty cur.” Sedgwick sprang inside of the ralling and hastily took a revolver from the drawer of his desk. The women screamed with fright and Mrs. Hatch managed to | | reach the door and make her escape be- | fore the shooting commenced, Doyle saw what was coming and tried to conceal himself behind a_desk that stood“in_the middle of the office. Crabtree and Mrs. Colson tried to find sheliter under the ta- | bles. The gray-haired agent took a step for- ward and then opened fire upon Doyle, using the language given above. The first shot went so close to the assistant agent's head that he s he could feel his hair move. The next two must have gone yery wide of their mark, for no trace of them can now be found. Sedgwick then seemed to have some difficulty in cocking his pis- tol, which was a cheap one,and Doyle took ad age of the lull in the bombardment | to charge upon his assailant with a chair, | A fourth shot was fired into the air, and | then Doyle staggered Sedgwick with a blow from the piece of furniture, and be- | fore the old man could recover hcmseuJ | | had aped from the office, hatless and | coatless, and was flying down the water front. After the second shot Mrs. Colson dodged under Sedgwick’s pistol arm and ran from the office, rapidly overtaking Mrs, Hatch, w attracting much at- ams. Patrolman Cros. by the noise and entered | office, where he found Seédg- e freigh wick sitting at his desk as if nothing had | Crabtree told the officer what had happened, and Crosby telephoned to | Captain Dunleavy of the harbor police. | Sergeany Ellis was detailed on the case | and he remained at the Vallejo street of- | fice until a warrant, sworn to by Doyle | before Police Judge Mogan, had arrived. Sedgwick was taken to the harbor station, and upon being released went to his rooms at the St. Nicholas Hotel, where he re- | fused to see callers. Agent Sedgwick has been in the Val- | lejo street office about twelve vears and | yas appolnted there over Doyle, who has been in the same office for sixteen vears, | Prior to appointment Sedgwick had been in politics for many years. An early ploneer, he served as Sheriff in Tuolumne County’ in 1859-60, and after that for fif- teen years was collector of internal reve- nue, ‘being stationed in this city from 1873 'to 1877. In 1880 he was Sheriff of this | county and afterward was superintena- | {ent of the House of Correction. He was | ccounted a faithful officer, who | happened. alway: knew fear and who was a dead shot | with his pistol. Thomas R. Doyle, who so narrowly es. caped death at the hands of this man, says that he is at a loss to account for the attack, unless it was due to tempor- ary insanity on the part of the old man, who, he declares, must be about 79 years of age. “There has always been more or less friction in the office,”” said Doyle yester- day afternoon, “due to the old man's ranky ways. He has always been jeal. us of me, aithough I cannot conceive | why, because even if he should be re. moved there would be no chance for me they were continued till July 10. Chief Sullivan has instructed his attorney to apply to Judge Bahrs to dismiss the writ on the ground that its issuance was against law and common sense. “Until the ordinance is declared unconstitutional,” said the Chief; “‘we have the right to ar- rest men selling pools in violation of the If the writ is not dismissed. ordinance. we will take the matter to the Supreme Court.” ENGINEER J. H. WALLACE IS SUCCESSOR TO CURTIS New Head of Department of Main- tenance and Way of South- ern Pacific. Julius Kruttschnitt, general manager of the Southern Pacific Railroad, anndunced yesterday that J. H. Wallace had been selected as the successor of W. G. Curtis, who until the time of hig death was the chief engineer of the maintenance and way department of the Southern Pacific. For many years Mr. Wallace had been the assistant to Mr. Curtis and his ap- pointment has been looked upon as a cer- tainty since the death of the former head of the department. Mr. Wallace Company in 1 and has been in the en- gineering department from that time. He is a man of great ability in his profes- sion and has been engaged in very im- portant work for the company. During the last two years, on account of the ill- | ness of Mr. Curtis, Engineer Wallace has been practically at the head of the main- tenance and way department. John D. Isaacs, who was the second as- sistant, has been elevated to the position of assistant engineer of maintenance and way and the position of second assistant has been abolished. ———te. Bartholomew Wanted Damages. In pursuance of the statement he made after the acquittal of Emmrich before United Stdtes Commissioner Heacock on ‘Wednesday, J. W. Bartholomew has com- menced suit against R. P. Merillion for $50,000 damages, ciaimed for the injury the statements and the suit Merillion has now pending against the American Box Com- E:ny of which Bartholomew is a mem- r, have done him. ————— Suing a Physician.

Perrone for alleged mal- practice in the treatment of their daugh- ter, Lilllan Devoto, who died of typhoid fever in June, 15, after being treated by the defendant. Plaintiffs allege that their daughter’s death was due to the unskiliful treatment of the defendant. ADVERTISEMENTS. BLOOD POISON PERMANENTLY ‘ CURED, Inherited or Contracted, At Any Stage.
