Yesterday morning shortly before 9 o'clock they met in front of McDonough & Runyon's commission house at 416 Davis street and Giovannoni fired at shot at Mc- Kown, the bullet missing him. Gio- | vannoni drove to Main street “‘hm'f.J where he was arrested on a charge of assault to murder. He was released on $300 cash bail accepted by Police Judge Conlan.

Lane, formerly member of the Brotherhood of Painters, Decora- tors and Paperhangers, was suffocated | in his bed In the Grand Southern Hotel, 1067 Mission street, last Tuesday night by illuminating gas. The body was found at 2:30 o’clock yesterday after- noon by a chambermaid, who unlocked the door with a passkey for the pur- pose of cleaning the room. The latch of the door was lying on the floor in the room, evidently having been pulled oft by Lane, and the key of the gas burner was open. Papers in possession of the dead man show that he came from Ogden to Los Angeles about the middle of December of last year as a member or attache of the Olympic Opera Company. Short- ly after his arrival he deposited $255 in the Farmers’ and Merchants’ Na- tional Bank of Los Angeles. On Feb- ruary 25 he had drawn it all out on checks payable to self. He had worked a short time for Collier's Weekly, so- liciting subscriptions. He had been in the Grand Southern about two weeks, during the whole of which time he had been playing the races and drinking heavily. —_————— They plighted their troth beneath the palm, But each was sorely vexed; When they Wwere sure no one was near, The rubber tree was next. —Louisville Herald. 1a moving Dr. L.

INDIAN TEA | MYSTIC SHRINERS HOLD SOUTHEASTERN ROADS £ ‘Chf’:;’:.’,‘"‘,}:;i";:la“fj’“h" FORTH AT THE TIVOLI ARE COMING INTO LINE| » TO BE GIVEN DAY AND NIGHT . By Sally Sharp. This. afternoon and to-night the In- dian tea and tableaux at Mrs. George Law Smith’'s residence, 2226 Jackson street, will lead the philanthropic events of the week's end and the Animals’ Refuge will thereby be the gainer. Such an aggregation of “Laughing Waters' and hungry Hiawathas have never before ventured into the palisade of the palface, and only now because the red man’s dearest friend, the dog. is the motif of the powwow. In the afternoon Herschel Mayall will read selections from Eugene Field, Mrs. Loosely will croon some sighing Sioux lullabys and the maids of the Alaskan, Navajo, Pomo and Klickitat tribes will execute the step picked up on the leafy floors of the forest in days of their babyhood. And the braves—Rain-in- the-Face, Broken Arm, Red Cloud and | the rest of the famous prairie princes will be on hand to explain the mysti- cism of the baskets and blankets of their peoples, while the corn song will be crooned to the dub-dub of the abo- riginal drum, from which the small white savage gleaned the idea of his drum. In the evening Mr. Hines, Dr. Sie- berst, William Altmann and Mrs. A. S. Langstroth will contribute to an al- ready clever programme. That the afternoon and evening will turn many dollars into the coffers of the Animals' Home is eminently a safe guess, because the repetition of the clever affair was given only after dem- onstrative requests. Remember—this afternoon and evening. LA The Ladies’ Aid Society of Simpson | Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church will continue its rummage sale for an- other week at 526 Fourth street. ————— ATTEMPTS SUICIDE BECAUSE HE CANNOT RESIST MORPHINE Michael Haly Tries to End His Life by Jumping in Front of a Locomotive, Michael Haly, residing at 325 Harri- et street. finding that he could not re- sist using opium, cocaine and morphine, deliberately threw himself in front of locomotive on Townsend street, near Seventh, yesterday fore- noon. Haly stood on the railway track until he saw a switch engine approach, when he stepped on the track and lay down in front of the engine, which was backing up to & switch. The break- beam caught him and dragged him a distance of twelve feet, when he was extricated by two employes of the company. He was sent to the Emergency Hos- pital, where Dr. Brackett found it necessary to amputate both feet at the | of $100 had been done. ankle joints, as the members had been crushed. | | | | | | | | | | i Islam Night Is a Great Success, and Hiram Hutchings Makes First Appearance on Any Stage. “Gentlemen of the Islam Club,” Pickwick comedy night in the musical now on the last of that name, boards at the Tivoli, for it was “Islam | Night” and Islamisms were in order. The members of Islam Temple, Ancient Arabic Order Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, accompanied by their relatives and friends, filled the pretty | playhouse from dome to pit, and it will long be regarded as one of the gala nights in the history of the theater. The duty of providing after their pilgrimages across the “burning sands” devolves upon a com- mittee composed of Illustrious Poten- tate Filmer and Nobles~Theo. A. E. Buckingham and Dr. F. L. Hill, and their action in securing the Tivoll for one night was a happy lhnugm.‘ All of the men and a large number of the ladies wore their fezes. Over the main entramee of the theater, vari- colored incandescents outlined the word “Islam” and the insigna of the order. Every lady was presented with a carton in red with a black silk tassel, representing a miniature fez and filled with bonbons. During the inter- mission there was punch for the fair sex and the nobles made pilgrimages to the “oasis” in the basement, where the *“zem zem" gushed forth. The incomparable chorus girls wore the headgear emblematic of the order and Ferris Hartman, in addition to sporting a fez himself, presented Musical Director Steindorff one of Potentate Filmer’s best across the foot- lights. The surprise and event of the evening was the first appearance of Hiram Hutchings of the Arabic Patrol and San Francisco Police Department on any stage. True, he only filled a thinking part, pet in white fleshings and red hussar coat and hat he pre- sented a striking figure. At the conclusion of the performance a flashlight photograph was taken of the assemblage. ——————— Agen Man Struck by Car.

He was treated at the Central Emergency Hospital by Dr. Millar. —_—————— Fire in Hotel Newport. Fire broke out in the dining-room of the Hotel Newport, 1018 ine street, last night at 7 o'clock.

The South- | eastern territory will, under the agree- ment, be divided into eight terminal groups, and while the rates under this tariff will not be as low as on the regular transcontinental tariff, they wiil be much lower than at present. It is also purposed to make them per- | manent, so that the shipper may care- | fully reckon just how he stands in matters of trade in the Southeastern territory. —_— ENTERTAIN FRIENDS WITH MUSIC AND SONG DR.
