B. Reihl. He says that Peguilllan- had threatened to kill him and that he had to shoot in self- defense. Just before the shots were fired Peguillian made a motion to a | pocket he carried a razor. Meyer's y is partly corroborated by story runs like a chapter of Zola a tale of a Kentucky mountain af or fray. The boy who was killed and tn boy who admits having slain him had bee under surveillance of the police., Meyer was arrested on a burglary charge several months ago. He told Policeman MacPhee, wno captured him, that he would not be taken if he had his “gat” with him. Peguillian was suspected of being connected \Mlh’ llle same crime. Elsie Fever, the girl whose charms caused all the trouble, could not be found yesterday. Policeman Callaghan traced her to the Brunswick House on Slxllli had where she Smith and Howard streets, been staying with Lena and Christie Bennett, girls who were pres- | ent at the beginning of the row that | ended in the death of Peguillian. QUARREL OVER THE GI¥ On Friday night the three girls, ac- | companied by Meyer, Peguiliian and Jdward Borilla, went to the candy store of Willlam McCauley at Third {avenue and L street. Here the party were sold drinks and became more or less boisterous. The girls were smug- gled into another room by McCauley, his son Frank and Borilla. Peguillian and Meyer, angry at being “cut out,” began to blame each other. 1 suppose that you think I have | done you,” said Peguillian as the pair | stepped outside. ! replied Meyer, and he tried to | pacify the angry boy. “We might as well have it out now,” | insisted Peguillian. “Take oft your | coat.” | Mever refused to fight and Pegulllian |arew a razor. “I will fight you with | shives (razors),” he insisted. “l've got another shive; come on and fight.” But | Meyer refused the challenge. Peguillian and the two'McCauleys re- mained in the house with the women and the others, Meyer and Borilla, went |away. | While the six were making merry in the house Borilla suddenly entered through a window. The men made a rush for him and he léaped outagain. The elder McCauley thrust his head out | | of the window and a_bullet whistled close to his head. Two other shots | followed. McCauley seized a ‘revolver | and returned the fire. It is thought ! that the man who fired the shots was Meyer, as he had threatened that he would come back and shaot up “the whole bunch.” PEGUILLIAN MAKES THREAT. Peguillian announced before the girls that he would “get” Meyer the next day for the shooting. Tenth avenues. Peguilllan walked up to Meyer and shook his fist in his face. Donald McFadden, an intimate friend | of Meyer—also with a police record— jumped in between them. Peguillian thrust him aside with an oath. shouted and seized Meyer by the coat. “All right,”” assented Meyer. “I will come along.” The pair walked along Tenth avenue to P street. They were followed by Borilla, McFadden, Edward Knus, Hans Peter- son and “Lucky” Davis. The crowd was distance behind the pair. At Tenth avenue and P. street Meyer and Peguillian descended into a gully and were lost to sight. Suddenly three shots rang out in rapid succession. The crowd | The pair met Saturday night in front of Turner's saloon on Rallroad nnd.‘ ol hurried to the edge of the gully just as Meyer climbed out.

After the shooting, Meyer rode into the city, where he went with McFadden to a dance at Teutonia Hall. Policemanr Reihl, s he heard of the shooting, ob- isslon to search for the man, as he was famillar with his habits. Yesterday morning he found him 'sit- | ting in a bootblack stand near Third and | Howard streets. At first Meyer denied | his fdentity. Theén he sald “What do you want me for, murder?” “You know that I do,” replied the po- liceman. “All right. 1'll come along,” said Meyer and was taken to the City Prison, Where he Is held on the detinue book. All of those who were in any way con- nected with the shooting and the quarrel that led up to it were examined by Cap- tain Burnett yesterday, except the three women, who have not yet been found. Police Commissioner Drinkhouse, who happened to be in the office of the Chef of Police at the'time the witnesses were examined, was indignant when heé heard that McCauley's candy store sold liquor without a Jicense. The Commissioner will move that the police force in this dis- trict ‘be increased in order to stamp out places of this sort. —————————— WOMAN SUFFRAGISTS MEET TO DISCUSS EQUAL RIGHTS nthering of Fair Exponents of lot Privileges Is Held in South San Framcisco.

Tommy was so taken th the steed that he begged the rider to take him up in front, which the latter | good-naturedly did. The boy took the | bridle‘reins and experienced. great delight | in guiding the horse. He did this so well | that ‘when he begged Schira to let him | ride alone the latter ‘gave way to his| pleadings and dismounted. Feeling, perhaps with ‘the instinct that | some horses haye, that the stronger hand | was no longer within reach of the reins, | the animal started to run with Tommy. | | The bey held on bravely as long as he | could, but was thrown by the animal as | it turned tke corner swiftly. The youth's | foot was caught in the stirrup and he was | dragged along the road by the maddened | horse, which kicked him violently as it plunged forward. The saddle turned and Tommy, his foot freed, was burled, a limp and broken | human mass, to the edge of the pavement, while the horse dashed wildly on. The | boy 1ay motionless and apparently dead. | Schira, breathless and horrified, was soon at his side, but could get no word from him. The grieved man hastily summoned | an automobile, into which the body of lit- tle Tommy was placed and a swift run | was made to the Park Emergency Hos- pital. | " Dr. Glover went over the child’s body | | critically and shook his head sadly. L,n-J | tle Tommy's boyish longing to ride the pretty horse had resulted in injurizs that | may prove fatal. Four of his ribs on ‘one | side had been brokén by the .\lllmdliL crucl hoofs. The lungs had been per- | | forated by the jagged ends and the air was escaping from them into the cavity. He had sustained a contusion of the ab- | domen that indicated internal injuries, | and there was a depression in his skull over one eve that may mean a fracture. The injured boy was sent to the French | Hospital, the nearest to his home. Schira | was griet-stricken over the accldert and | ¢ia all he could In behalf of unlucky little Tommy. | o S HUMANE SOCIETY TAK BOY TUMBLEFR NDER WING | Who Is Now Performing With | Leonders Troupe. | The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children last night took into | custody Zita, the 15-year-old member | of the Leonders acrobatic troupe. at | 371 Geary | street.
