The shot | was fired from a Colt's revolver of large caliber. After the Injured man was re- | moved to the hospital Westmore was | brought to his bedside. Halversen identi- fied him as the man who fired the shot. | John Earl, who is staying at the Mont- | gomery Hotel, was in the office when the shot was fired. He witnessed the entire affair and declares that Westmore was the aggressor, Westmore went out with his revolver in his hand, ready for action. He turned into Tehama street and had proceeded scarcely twenty feet when he met Charles | Penne, his second victim. He evidently thought that Penne was going to inter- | cept him, as he exclaimed: “I do not in- | tend to be interfered with by any one.’” He then raised his pistol and shot Penne through the left thigh. Penne was also removed to the Central Emergency Hos- pital. His wound, though not very seri- ous, was so painful that the doctors did not probe for the bullet. When the shot was fired Penne was only a few feet from his own home. Officers A. P. McQuade and P. T. Cas- sidy, whose beats are on Second street, and Officer G. P. Chase, from First street, were attracted to the scene by the shots. They found Westmore sitting in a door- | way on Tehama street with his pistol in | his’ hand, cocked and prepared for the first man who would attempt to take him. Officer McQuade managed to rush | in on the intoxicated man and overpower him before he could make further use of his weapon. @ il el @ | SHIRT WAIST MAN IN ! PARK AND AT BEACE | Glorious Weather Tempts Thousands | to Saunter on Lawns and by Sun- | Glinted Waves. Seldom has there been a more beautiful day in the middle of winter than that of vesterday. Director McAdie, who prog- nosticated it, expects a big vote of thanks. Santa Claus found the “open door pol- fey” the best and took the crowd with him to the park, the ocean beach and con- tiguous points.’ Fair weather shone on fair ladies, and even the brave shirt waist man. It was a day of which San Fran- cisco could well be proud, and well did the people of San Francisco enjoy it. Traflic was extremely heavy on the street car lines leading to the westward edge of the continent and the strangers who gazed at the rolling billows and listened to the carols of the ocean waves as they broke on the shore wondered and said to each other, “This is the kind of climate on which the pecnla af California live’” CAPIBLE MEN FOR JUDIGIAR Mention of Candidates for the Supreme Court. Harbor Commissioner Herold May Be Reappointed to the Board. It is not settled by any means that Rudolph Herold will retire from the State Board of Harbor Commissioners at the expiration of his four vears' term. It is current gossip among politicians who are close to Governor Gage that Mr. Herold will hold office on the water front in San Francisco until the Republican State Con- vention adjourns. It Is even hinted that events of the impending political contest may suggest his reappointment. It is re- marked that the Governor has shown very little inclination so far to displace Demo- crats from office. In certain Democratic circles he is classed as a prime favorite. The political situation is somewhat com- plicated by demonstrations from leaders of the Union Labor party. The Los An- geles political workers in the Democratic fold are planning to secure the nomina- tion of Mayor Snyder by the Union Labor party. Fusion is not recommended, but the assertion is made that the Democratic convention will indorse Snyder.” Demo- cratic success at the polls would not be assured by the execution of this pro- gramme, for it is called to mind that James G. Maguire had the Populist as Well as the Democratic nomination in 1898 and could not win. The Snyder men say: “Gage carried Los Angeles by 1400 ma- jority; McKinley carried it by 2800, and along came Snyder, who rolled up a ma- Jority of 3400.” The Snyderonians claim that their man could win out over Gage by four thousand votes in Los Angeles County. R. H. Beamer, W. T. Jeter and Washington Dodge are rated as good run- ners, but the laboring men are sald to be unacquainted with these Democratic war steeds. If Gage is renominated by the Republi- can State Convention the Democrats will take heart and put in the fleld the best ticket that their party can produce. There is talk of nominating Judge Peter J. Shields of Sacramento and Judge D. K. Trask of Los Angeles for Associate Jus- tices of the Supreme Court. This sugges- tion implies a purpose to select some well known and able Democratic lawyer in San Francisco for Chief Justice. The peo- ple of the State will rejoice if Republi- cans and Democrats, respectively, nom- inate the best men in the legal profession for service on the Supreme Court. Judges Shields and Trask, who were appointed to the, Superior Court by Governor Budd, were subsequently elected to the bench by the people. Among_Republican lawyers mentioned for the Supreme Court are Judge F. M. Angellotti of Marin, Judge John F. Elli- son_of Tehama, Judge Edward Sweeney of Shasta, Judge A. J. Buckles of Solano and Judge Lucien Shaw of Los Angeles. C. H. Garoutte, Associate Justice of Supreme Court, is a candidate for the Chief Justiceshp, but there seems to be a sentiment among Republicans in favor of renominating the present Chief Justice, W. H. Beatty. Stories are 'in circulation to the effect that_ex-Governor Budd would not decline the Democratic nomination for Governor, but he assures his friends that his am< bition in this direction has been fully gratified and that nothing would induce him to serve the people again as chief ex- ecutive of the State. He is active, however, in urging old line Democrats of known strength to jump on the party band wagon. The other day he advised Hon. B. F. Langford to enter the field for State Senator in San Joaquin County. The venerable ex-Senator remarked that he ‘was out of politics to stay out. The ex-Governor, who was recently ap- pointed by ex-Congressman Thomas J. Geary and commissioned by Governor Gage to visit Washington and assist in the re-enactment of the Chinese exclusion act, will leave the city for the national capital within the next two weeks. SORROWFUL CHRISTMAS FOR THE NIEBLOCKS Their Nineteen-Day-Old Girl Baby Suffocated Accidentally in Her Crib. Yesterday was a sorrowful Christmas for George and Emma Nieblock, who re- side at 3318 Folsom street. Christmas eve, so full of hope and pleasure to others, brought them only the keenest anguish, for their little baby girl, only nineteen days old, was suffocated in its crib. On Tuesday evening, at 7:30 o’clock, the mother nursed the baby asleep and placed it in its little crib. A quarter of an hour before mianight the father went to the crib to kiss the baby good night, but found that it had stopped breathing. Mr. Nieblock rushed out of the house and brought in a doctor who lived near by, but all the efforts of the physician to resus- citate the infant were in vain. The babe had been suffocated by the blankets. The case was reported to Coroner Leland, who has ordered an inquest. 5 3 THE VERY LATEST COL- OR PROCESS.

Gibson, mother of Detective Thomas Gibson, died suddenly yesterday afternoon at her home, 536 Hayes street. With her husband, O. B. Gibson, she had been out to a Christmas dinner at a friend’s house on Pacific avenue. On her way home Mrs. Gibson, who was 75 years of age, was taken with a fainting spell. Death came almost the moment that she reached her own home. SALATION ARMY FEEDS THE POOR Many Hundred People Enjoy a Christmas Dinner. Cheer Is Furnished at Hall and in Homes to Deserving. More than 2000 persons enjoyed the bounty of the Salvation Army yesterday, not alone in the basement of Odd Fel- the. visits of the angel of plenty are few and far between. It speaks well for the present prosperity of the city that an abundance of good cheer had been pro- vided. It speaks well for the labors of the members of the Salvation Army that such an elaborate spread was made. Man's innermost wants were supplied al- most to the point of repletion. Many a hearty “God bless you” was uttered by men to whom the day might have passed without a ray of sunshine, or perhaps hope. & Early in the morning a long line of men, with a few women and children in- terspersed, began to form on Stevenson street at the rear entrance to the ban- quet hall. There were professional beg- gars, there were honest men that knew the pangs of hunger and there were oth- ers representing all degrees of needy hu- manity. But all who came were welcome. In the big banquet room ‘there were six tables “set with accommodations for 450 persons at a time. They were decorated with flowers and fruits and around these tables the bonneted lassies passed and attended to the wants of the guests of the Salvation Army. Shortly after 11 o’clock the first party was let in. They found awaiting them platters of turkey, roast beef, two kinds of vegetables, fruit, pies and other comes- tibles that go to form the menu of a Christmas dinner. . As soon as the guests were seated Col- onel George French, the provincial offi- cer, made a Wrief invocation and spoke of the generosity of the people of San Francisco. His remarks were brief, and then the crowd at the tables fell to with a will, There was a hurrying and scur- rying, a clatter of knives, forks and plates. Dishes were filled and refilled and til his wants were satisfied. “Let every one have all that is want- ed,” sald Major Alfred Harris, who had charge of the arrangements under the direction of Colonel and Mrs. French, and his hundred assistants responded. Then the tables were cleared, others were ad- at the hall were dismissed the labors of the Salvation Army did not cease. There were those who could not come. Provi- sion had been made to feet 1000 others at their homes and the work of distribu- tion was continued. It was dark before their labors were concluded. army will meet to-night about Christmas trees in their various posts. No special programme nounced, but the members of the army, after their arduous labors of the Christ- mas day, will seek some slight relaxation. DRINK TOAST TO HEALTH OF THE GRAND MASTER time, Knights Templar embraced in the United States jurisdiction, which also in- cludes the isles of the sea, clinked their glasses to the good health, long life and Drosperiti’l of their most eminent grand master, Henry Bates Stoddard. Here is the toast: To Our Most Eminent Grand Master, Henry Bates Stoddard: Peace, health and 'plenty, with a merry Christmas greeting from all his Knights from Maine to Oregon and from the isles of the sea. In accordance with universal custom the two commanderies of Knights Tem- plar in this city, to the number of 350, met yesterday morning at 9 ¢’clock in the as; jum of Golden Gate Commandery, at 6 Butter street. The guests of Golden Gate Commandery were the members of Cali- fornia Commandery and a number of vis- iting Knights from different parts of the United States. Promptly at the appointed hour the invocation was pronounced by Sir Knight P. D. Code, prelate of Golden Gate, and he was followed by the united cholrs of the two commanderies in the re- cital of the Lord's Prayer. As the glasses were raised on high the words of the toast were read, and John F. Merrill read the response, as follows: May the God of our fathers ever keep and protect you.and may we meet in daily con- clave in'the asylum above. This sentiment was feelingly and ap- propriately volced by Mr. Merrill in his remarks that followed. The regular pro- gramme was then carried out. The toast to the “Grand Commandery of Califor- nia” was responded to by B. P. Flint. Judge Carroll Cook spoke of California Commandery No. 1, of which he is the eminent commander. At the close he called for a toast to Golden Gate Com- mandery, and a _most eloquent response was made by H. D. Loveland, the eminent commander. A telegram was received during the cer- emonies from Bay State Comamndery of Brockton, Mass., presenting the toast “Golden Gate.” An appropriate response was at once dispatched. Bay State and Golden Gate commanderies have fre- quently exchanged courtesies at various conclaves. “Templar Masonry” proved an eloquent theme for Eminent Sir Knight J. C. Campbell, while Sir Knight 5. M. Shortridge rose to the occasion when he spoke on “Glad Tidings.” The benedic- tion was given by Sir Knight James G. Gordon, prelate of California Command- ery. Some beautiful music was rendered in- cidentally to the exercises by the choir, of which Sam D. Mayer was in charge. Next year the ceremonies will take place under the direction of California Commandery. That smart Winter Reefer Coat pictured, here. Ages 3 to 8 years.

Market Strect, ENGLISHMAN SAID TO OF NEWCASTLE VISITS THE CLIFF That the Duke of Newecastle left San Francisco last Friday on the Owl train for the south there is no question, but the question now arises whether or not the English nobleman left the train wher out of sight of his San Francisco friends and returned to the city for purposes best known to himself—after all, probably, in the interests of his brother, Lord Hope, regarding whose matrimonial affairs he showed a decided disinterestedness. At any rate an Englishman who passed as the Duke attracted some attention yester- day at the vicinity of the Clff House. With a party of friends this supposed peer certainly visited there, and J. M. | Wilkins is authority for the statement that he received the Duke and a party of gentlemen, that he escorted him through the Cliff Flouse, and further that the nobleman showed and expressed the greatest finterest in the visit and thoroughly enjoyed the animated scene about the beach. Of one other thing Mr. Wilkins is posi- tive: that the Duke was taking in the | Christmas-summer zephyrs from the Pa- | cific, and was heard to compare the ex-| quisite, clear day with the possible chilly, | foggy, or muggy weather In his ‘‘dear | old London. It has been asserted that the | Duke's mission here was not for recrea- tion, but really to assist in procuring evi- A: ~BROS BIG Clearance Sale Y o On-All Winter Goods MANY INSTANCES THE REDUC- TER.

That the Duke in view of the corona- tion of King Edward would scarcely leave England for an extended tour is absolute- ly certain unless for matters of vast im- Eor(ance to the house of Newcastle. That e has been in ardent opposition to di- vorce there is no doubt. A devout church- man and reverent, he does not belleve in | putting asunder those who have been united in the bonds of matrimony.

In the absence of the president, Supreme Court Justice Walter Van Dyke and W. L. Duncan, marshal of the soci- ety, took the direction of affairs. The dinner was a deliclous one and afforded & happy means of spending the day for many old ploneers. One‘of the first toasts that was Te- sponded to was that to the memory of James Lick, “to whose munificence,” said bers of this sociéty to meet in their own home to-day.” He also spoke of his many benefactions.
