The ex-chief was the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. B.

A Christmas feast at the home of Vic tor Sbragto, an Italian employed at the Union Iron Works, living at MO" Seventeenth Avenue, South San Fran cist a was brought to a tragic end last evening when the host was shot through the head and fatally wound ed by one of two unknown men who had burst into the dining room. The motive for the murderous visit cannot be explained, nor is there any clew to the identity of the men. During the progress of the supper, while one of the guests was playing an accord dlon, the door suddenly opened and the two strangers entered. When asked what they wanted one of them laid claim to the musical instrument, declaring that it belonged to him. " Sbragio ordered" the Intruders to leave the house and was walking with them to the dVoor when they both at tacked him and knocked him down. Before the guests could rush to his assistance one of the pair drew a re volver and shot Sbragto through .the head as he lay on the floor. The men then backed out of the door and disappeared In the darkness. His death Is considered by doctors at the hospital where the wounded man was taken but the matter of a few hours.
