CAUSES SORROW Killing of Schultze by Gus- tav Scherf Arouses Gen-! eral Indignation in City! SLAYER'S BAD RECORD Accused of Ruining Home of} Man Who Befriended Him and of Raiding Stock Pens The home of the late Rudolph W. Schultze, murdered by Gustav Scherf, | is a house of sorrows. | Along the'bay shore in the little cot- tage by the shipyard the young widow moans and wonders why it was., She has not even the poor clay of the fallien protector to hold in the desolation of her home. That is at the Morgue | awaiting inquiry as to why it lies on a slab. The dead man's aged mother and two little children are with the mourning widow and they moan and wonder why. | Up on the crest of Bernal Heights, where the drearv winds from over the sea are alwavs blowing, another wom- an moans—for but yesterday Scherf, the fiend, was a babe in her arms. The killing of Schultze has created unusual excitement throughout the city and everywhere people are character- izing the act as a wanton and sense- | less murder. Schultze was well known by the business men of the city, espe- pecially on the water front, and his standing among them was of the high- est. There is one hope in connection with the crime and that is that the murderer may receive without delay his Just deserts. i Around his old haunts in Butcher- | town Scherf bears an unsavory reputa- | tion. Cattle and sheep often have dis- | appeared from their corrals in the| night and stockmen often have ac-| cused Scherf. He is believed to have | been with Walter Ayhens, who, with ! his brother, slaughtered two yearlings | in the yard of James McDermott, wholesale butcher, July 14, and is now in the County Jail awaiting trial. South San Franciscans say Scherf | was always too handy with a pistol and was never very far away from ! one, and that he tried hard to kill | George Cavanaugh a year ago, but his | aim was bad and his plea of being| drunk was good. | Scherf was the central figure of an investigation into the mismanagement ' and dishonesty of the city pound last January, and though it was proved he had taken part in a scheme to defraud the city, he was not prosecuted. How- ever, he soon left the pound, but was re-employed by Irwin, the keeper. L BREAKS UP A HOME. | He has been living with Mrs. Kate Parsons at 11 Holliday avenue. The ! history of his connection with this woman is another leaf in the story of Scherf’s misesable life. In her girl- hood she was pretty Katie Wilson, the | belle of Butchertown, the lady love of the vacqueros of South San Franclsco. Her father was the well known cattle- | man, Charles Wilson—now dead—but his name in Ireland, where he was a/! member of a prominent family, was Charles O’Dougherty. On account of | political trouble in the old country he | dropped his real name. His wife was | one of the Spanish Alviso family. i Alfred W. Parsons, the husband of | Katie O'D. Wilson, befriended Gustav | Scherf in many ways—picked him up | out of the alleys of Butchertown, where he was wandering, having lost his em- | ployment through drink, and took him | to his house. Then Scherf ruined his' benefactor's home. Parsons first| learned of his wife's downfall on re-| turning from his work one evening almost a vear ago. He was attacked by Scherf with an iron bar. Mrs. Par-| sons assisted Scherf and the husband | was vanquished. i Scherf’'s mother lives in a cabin-like | structure at 42 Winslow street, near the top of Bernal Heights. “I cried all last night,” said this sad | German woman, “and my two sons came home and cried too. I cried not! so much for myself as for that woman and the two little children. I have had | lots of trouble in my life, but not so much as this. But I am old and will soon be done with it all. I wonder why everybody carries pistols? Poundmen | have no business to carry pistols. They | have no need of them. My boy must take the consequences. I tried to make a good man of him. I am sorry for that poor woman and the two little children.” H. O.

At first he berated his murderous deputy for not standing his ground instead of run- ning away, because he was shooting in the line of duty and in defense of his life. It is believed that the revolver which Scherf used is his property, notwith- standing his denials. | “To show you how much we do, sald one of the deputy poundmen yes- terday, “and how much danger we are in all the time, we catch and kill every month an average of 400 dogs. But Scherf went too far when he pulled a gun. He was in no danger. It was murder.” Murphy and Weintraut, the deputies who were with Scherf Wednesday, went out on the wagon yesterday, but they were nervous and cayght no dogs. The Coroner’s inquest on the body of Rudolph Schultze will be held Sat- urday morning. The funeral will take place Sunday at 1 o'clock. The ser- vice will be conducted by the Masonic fraternity and the interment will be in Mt. Olivet cemetery. August and Albert Schultze, brothers of the de- ceased, are in Alaska and are expected to return here next month. —— e San Francisco Forging Ahead. It is surprising to see the daring ven- tures that some of our business men of this city undertake. Where the people come from tq fill up the large hotels and | apartment houses lately constructed is a mystery to the average mind. Now comes the Darbee & Immel Oyster Company, with its new Oyster Grotto at 245 O'Farrell street, having a seating capacity 8f 300, fitted up even grander than anything yet attempted in this city. 'In fact, no other city in the Union can boast of having a place its equal where oysters exclusively are served. It is to be hoped that there are sufficlent lovers of oysters here to make such a place profitable. A few other places intend to open up within the next few months, one under the Flood build- ing and one on Mason street. It will then be the survival of the fittest, with each place doing its utmost to pleE.e its patrons. —_— e — House Movers Must Give Bond. Superior Judge Troutt modified his injunction order of July 27 restraining the San Francisco Gas and Electric Company, the Police Judges and the Chief of Police from causing the arrest and prosecution of D. J. Sullivan and other house movers for cutting the company’'s wires in the course of their business. The modified order requires that the house movers shall give the company notice in writing of intention to move through the wires and the company shall cut the wires. The house movers must pay the actual cost of labor and materials employed in each cutting and shall give a form of bond which has been agreed upon. The bcnd secures the payment for each case of wire cutting, but provides that if the litigation now pending is de- cided in favor of the house movers the company will have to pay the money back. If there is future trouble over the payments it is agreed that each payment may be a seperate cause for action or all may be joined. —————— SUIT FOR® DAMAGES.—G. H.
