Sher- iff Bishop and Deputy early upon the scene this morning to hunt up clews. Peace officers all over the county were warned to be on the| lookout for a man answering the ban- | dit's descriptjon and the police of Oak- | land and Be ley were asked to co- operate in the Man-hunt. It is doubtful, however, if any trace of the fellow is ever found. He left nothing behind him that might lead to his arrest. It is generally conceded that the man Louis Sullivan saw run- ning down the road toward Berkeley did the shooting. He was running hara and did not tarry when Sullivan «ac- costed him, indicating that he must have been fleeing from the scene of his crime. As the Werren saloon is less than a mile from the North Berkeley station of the Southeen Pacific Company, it was an easy matter for the highway- man to get out of town. Trains run out of town in such rapid succession that he must have got away long be- fore the news of the crime reached town. An incident that occurred at the ‘Werren saloon Saturday night goes to show that it was a premidatated crime. Two men called there after Werren and his wife had retired late at night and deliberately shot the watch dog. When Werren protested against this brutality the men swore that they had had to protect themselves. It is evident that the men got the dog out of the way so that they would not be molested or betrayed before their Sunday work be- gan. True, only one highwayman en- gaged in the hold-up, but it is believed that he was backed up by a companion who watched the saloon from the out- gide. At any rate, this is the view held by Werren and the officers. HOLD-UP 'WAS COLD-BLOODED. was | The loss | loon as Another incident that indicates that the hold-up was well planned was the evident familiarity of the bandit with the premises. When Mrs. Werren dis- appeared through the rear door of the saloon, even while two revolvers cov- ered herself and companions, the man seemed to know that she would go through the alley-way between the sa- and her house to the street. For soon as he observed her movement he ch-nged the position of the pistol he held in his right hand so that it would cover Mrs. Werren the moment she reached the street. Thus he was pre- pared to shoot the men with the pistbl in his left hand and the woman with the one in his right; he had both the front and rear door of the saloon cov- ered with ominous looking weapons. There was no escape for any of the vic- tims. Mrs. Werren was shot while she was empty-handed and absolutely defense- Jess against the highwayman. She had sought to escape him, but fell victim Scanlan were | 5 1 to his cowardice and wantonness. The | man shot her because he thought she was going for arms or help. The spirit of self-defense was strong in Mrs. Werren even after she had been shot. She did not fall at once, but with a courage borne of a desire to avenge herself she staggered into her house and secured a little old der- ringer, thinking to use it upon the bandit. As soon as she emerged from the house, however, she fell to the ground and was there found by her husband, who had in the meantime ejected the robber. ‘Werren's own escape was miraculous. When he pushed the desperado through the saloon door, he expected to be shot for his pains. The man outside kicked two or three times at the door and de- manded admittance, at the same time threatening to shoot. He had been dis- appointed of getting the money he sought. Werren, however, made des- perate by the agonizing cries of his wife, refused to open. That was enough for the highwayman, and in a few moments all was still again. HOW LEWIS ESCAPED. Frank Lewis, the other member of the trio, had the least dramatic part in the stirring drama. He acquiesced in every demand of the highwayman and so kscaped. In fact, he was the only one of the three who held up his hands at the man’s command. Werren said to-day that he was too frightened to throw up his.hands even after he had been warned thrice to do so. Mrs. ‘Werren did not comply either. Dr. J. Edson Kelsey, who attended Mrs. Werren, is doubtful whether she will recover, though he says the chances are in her favor. The great danger is from pneumonia or blood- peisoning. Mrs. Werren is 60 years of age, but still strong and healthy. She is suffering intensely from her wound and is so excited that she cannot give afly coherent account of what hap- pened. The saloon where the shooting took place is not a mile from the city limits and upon a hillside road that overlooks the bay. It is a much traveled road and the Werrens receive considerable money from visitors on Sundays, a fact that must have been known to the highwayman. ——— e Boxmakers' Trouble Settled. OAKLAND, April 18.—The trouble at the Oakland Box Factory has finally been settled and the men returned to work this morning. -Concessions were made on both sides, the most impor- tant item in the new agreement being an increase in the wages of mechanics from $2 2‘5 a day to $2 50 a day. —————— TO SUBSCRIBERS LEAVING TOWN FOR THE SUMMER..

HELPS HOSPITAL EUND Prytanean = Society of Uni- versity Gives Successful Fete in Spite of Showers AL AT Berkeley Office S8an Francisco Call, 2148 Center Street, April 18. The rain came down in showers to- night, but that did not keep very many people away from the fete the Pryta- nean girls gave in Harmon gymnasium for the benefit of the hospital fund. The gymnasium was crowded all even- ing and everything the co-eds had for sale went like Lot cakes. It cost 10 cents to get in and from $1 to $10 to get out, according to the personal pop- uldrity of the candidates, so that the Prytaneans are ahead a huncred dol- lars or more. It was called a “kirmess,”™ and that is the same thing as a fete. There were booths of all nations, bedizened in the national colors, with pretty girls in dresses to match. They were to have it in Co-ed Canyon, but it rained so that the Prytaneans carted their things to the gymnasium in wheel- barrows and planted the booths there. The booths were in charge of the fol- lowing named giris: Scotch booth—Miss Talullah Le Conte, Miss Edna Curtis, Miss Smythe. Hawaiian booth—Miss Luverhe Mar- shall, Miss Blanche Cameron, Miss Flora Frickstad. English booth—Miss Eva Gray, Miss Franklen Jones, Miss Margaret Shoe- craft.
