Tietjen, a com- | merclal traveler representing the West- ern Implement Company of Port Wash- ington, Wis., was found in room 232 of the Grand Hotel late yesterday afternoon. Life had been extinct for nearly two day The cause of death is supposed to have been heart d e, from which Tietjen was apparently suffering when he retired Fri- day night.

Nothing more was heard from the com- merciai_traveler until yvesterday after- noon, when a sickening odor coming from his apartments lead to an investigation, The door of the room was opened and Tietjer's body was found on the bed. From all appearances, life had been ex- tinct for about two days. The Coroner's office was notified and the remains taken to the Morgue.

PLUCKY GAOCER BHTTLES WIT THREE TOUGHS One of Them Fires at Him, the Bullet Grazing His Flesh. e After a Desperate Struggle, A. Ham- ilton Bucceeds in Putting to Flight Hoodlums Who Attack Him. AL 8 A. Hamllton, who conducts a saloon and grocery at Ninth and Folsom streets, #s congratulating himself that he is not oc- cupying a slab in the Morgue. Shortly after 6 o’clock yesterday morn- ing Hamilton was standing in his store | when three young men, who were under room. After calling for drinks one of the show window. Hamilton ordered them to leave when one of the men struck him in the face. Picking up a club the proprietor brought it down on his as- saflant’s head, knocking him senseless. His companions then attacked Hamilton, but were driven off after a short engege- ment. As they started to run from the barroom Hamilton followed them, and as he was within a few {eet of the men one of them whipped out a revolver and, pointing it at the plucky groceryman's breast, fired. The bullet tore through his coat and grazed the skin near the shoul- der. Notwithstanding nis danger Hamilton grabbed his murderous assailant just as he was about to fire a second shot and struck him on the head with his club. Before he could disarm him the third man started to assault Hamilton, but seeing ty in flight. In the meantime the man with the revolver, evidently thinking the bullet had struck the groceryman, re- placed the weapon in his pocket and ran | down Folsom street. On returning to his | store Hamilton found the man who first attacked him in the zct of helping him- | self to a bottle of whisky. With the ald of his trusted club he soon put him to flight. Hamlilton considers his escape from be- ing shot nothing short of miraculous. His desperate assallant, he says, stood only a few feet from him and, pointing the re- | volver at his breast, deliberately fired. He says he knows the men by sight and | to-day he intends to have warrants is- | sued for their arrest. SANTA CRUZ THE BEAUTIFUL Get Tickets Early and Avoid the Crowd.
