PAYS FOR DRINK ~ WITHABULLET Dugan Shoots When a Bar-| | tender Refuses a Sec- ! ond Glass. | Missile Scorches the Vest of a Gro- cery Clerk and Lands in a | Cheese on the | Counter. | | G s | Hugh B. Dugan entered the grocery and liquor store of W. F. C. Schmidt, 371 First | | street, yesterday afternoon, about 3| | o'clock, and demanded of the clerk, John W. Schmidt; a drink, saying he had no money, but would pay for it later. His | demand was complied with after a. little | hesitation, but hardly had he taken the | liquor when he demanded another glass. | The second drink was refused him. He | | then drew a revolver and fired directly at | | Schmidt. Fortunately the latter turned |and the bullet buried itself in a cheese | on the counter. It was a narrow escape | for the grocery clerk, as the bullet marked the lower edge of his vest as it whizzed by him. Dugan then commenced to use foul language, threatening to kill any one | who refused him a drink. | 'Fearing he might carry out his threat | Schmidt gave him another drink. Dugan | then walked out, going to his home, where | he was arrested by Officers P. Butler and | M. P. Hurley. He was taken to the City Hall station and booked on a charge of | assault to commit murder. | When cuestioned as to his motives for | the attack on Schmidt, Dugan denied hav- | ing any knowledge of the affair, asserting | he never had a pistol. Dugan’s sister died | about three months ago at St. Mary's Hospital, and his mother is lying at the point of death at her residence on Harri- son street. So much fliness and trouble, it is presumed, are the cause of his wild | actions. Floral Society’s Mesting. A meeting of the Floral Scciety was held yesterday afternoon at 233 Sutter street, Mrs. E. E. Smith presiding. A report of the committee on exhibition and awards showed an encouraging prospect for the floral show to be held at Sherman, Ciay & Co.’'s Hall on October 25, 2 and 27. At the meeting some rare speciméns of plants and flowers were exhibited. notable among them being a cactus dahlia, the proper of J. W. Bagge. The assembly was ac dressed by J. A. Maguire. Stole a Plated Watchchain. A man who gave his name as Clay Mar- kle was locked up in the City Hall police station last night on the charge of petty larceny. Markle went Into the Jewelry store of Taber Bros.. 910 Market street, and asked to be shéwn some gold watch chains. When the salesman’'s back was turned he slipped a chain into his pocket departed. His action was observed and Policemen McEntee and Fraher were notified. They arrested him with the prop- erty on his person. The chain was val- ued at $150. g ADVEXRTISEMENTS. DR. MEYERS & C0.
