A RS Henry Armbuster, living at 1881 Stock- ton street, a collector and solicitor for the “industrial department” of the Pacific Mu- tual Life Insurance Company of Califor- nia, with offices at 405 Montgomery street, wandered into that place about 5 o'clock vesterday afternoon looking as if he and a buzzsaw had commingled. Later, ac- companied by a special agent of the com- pany named Ward, he went to the Re- celving Hospital, where he was treated for all kinds of lacerations of the head and scalp. He claimed that he had been assaulted with a pistol in the hands of August Pope, an engineer, who lives at § Congress street, on the summit of Buena Vista Hill. Some time ago Mrs. Pope took out a policy of insurance on the lives of her husband and children, without the for- mality of an examination. Pope objected to the terms of the policy and asked his wife to order it canceled. She demurred and a casus belll was established in the household. From this point family dif- ferences grew until they were magnified to an alarming degree. Armbuster went to the house about 2:30 | o’clock yesterday afternoon to collect the | pittance coming to the company. Mrs. | Pope told him that she would be unable to | pay until the following collection day. While they were talking Pope came home and met his wife and the collector talking at the door. The flat occupied by the Popes is at the top of the hill, with a short flight of steps leading to it. 'Mrs. Pope was at the he of these stairs and Armbuster was at the hedge surrounding the pls a few feet They were talking sdj.rlcasamly as could be when she exclaimed: “There comes my husband.” Pope by this time had sized up the sit- uation, drawn his pistol and attempted |to use it on Armbuster. The trigger | failed to work, but the butt end did on Armbuster's head, and he came out of tue affray looking very much the worse | tor wear. | Mrs. Pope ran to the house of her mother, Mrs. Durner, about one hundred yards awa where her oldest daughter | s at play, and left her husband | two young: children, Ella, aged s | than "two years, and Norman, aged five | years, to their father's care. He picked | them up, hatless and coatless, and dis | appeared _almost as quickly as the mother. He went with the children pre | sumably to the residence of his mother, Mrs. Helder of Alameda. Armbuster, | with his head swarthed in bandages and a confused idea of his surroundings at the | | Receiving Hospital, said, after promptings | by his friend, Ward, that he did not | “know how it happened.” “] was standing by the flagpole in front | of ‘the house talking to Mrs. Pope,” he | said, “when the husband came along, pulled out a gun and tried to shoot me. The trigger failed to work and then he clubbed me with the pistol. I got it good, i { hard and plenty, went to my office and | was treated by the local physicians and then came out to the Receiv! Hospital. I have not the least idea why this assault The motive for the shooting was the fact that the highbinders believed that toshes is almost over. why we ars selling intoshes for $1.75. mackintosh "IN OUR RIEBON DEPT, RIBBON, 4 inches -wide; colors, ender.
