Might Hare Been Worse.
At twenty minutes past ten last night
the blaze of a burning building next to
tha southwest corner of Benton and Con
comly streets caused the cry of "Fire!
Fire'.P' to resound through the streets.
Hurrying to the spot the usual sight was
offered of a score of half crazed China
men flapping around lik6 so many chick
ens with their heads cut off, while others
were busy saving bedding and loose dun
nage, not giving a thought to saving tht
building from the flames which their
thoughtlessness had caused. The build
ings were poor affairs, mere shells, and
blazed fiercely, the chief danger ly
ing in the likelihood that surrounding
property might catch; fortunately there
was no wind, and though an unaccount
ably long time was consumed in getting
a stream on the building, when the men
did get on the ground there was some
lively work done. The buildings bumed
were three in number, owned by Ah Kow,
Bing Gee and Geo. Hill, and were, as far
as is known, uninsured. The corner oc
cupied by Alex. Gilbert as a saloon suf
fered considerable damage from the
breaking of glass and the transfer
of stock in bottles, kegs, etc
Considerable hard work was done and
several of the boys got a thorough soak
ing before the order came to "take up."
By eleven o'clook the fire was out. It was
caused by a lamp that hung just inside
of the front door of the lower of the
three buildings and which fell to the
floor, the stupid inmates not having
Sresence of mind enough to pitch it out
oors, being probably too intent on saT
ing their personal effects.
Half an hour after the engines were
housed 8 strong breeze sprang up from
the southwest, which had it occurred at
the time the alarm was sounded would
have in all probability resulted most dis
astrously. As at present arranged the
fire alarm bell in the rear of the city
halH&'about as good as no bell at all,

The warm rays of an afternoon sun
played hide and seek yesterday on the
costly frescoes which adorn the sides of
the police court room, and the gulls that
soar and soream above its wave-washed
walls-chattered noisily at their soavenger
work outside, inside there was an un
nsually large attendance, the regular
matinee performance being varied by the
trial of a gentleman named Mclntyre on
s charge of resisting an officer in the.dis
charge of his duty. The action was a
sequel to the midnight mash that was
nade on Officer Steabb last "Wednesday
when he undertook to arrest Dick Mo
Oarron for alleged vagrancy at Wiseman's
temperance parlors and got a benefit
from -the gentry there assembled. The
counsel for the defense argued at great
length that there was no cause for action
inasmuch as the complaint failed to
make due and accurate allegement con
cerning what his client was arrested for,
fcul Judge Stockton overruling the objec
tion the case proceeded. Officer Steabb

Tersion of the affair substantially

A MUEDEBOUS ATTACK.
Bar;Iary and Probable Homicide.
When F. D. Blako, the driv3r of tho
Occident coach cams out at five yester
day morning he found Officers Steabb
and CarNon lifting a man up from John
Rogers comer where he was lying in a
pool of his own blood, it proved to be
Geo. Gansz, who keeps the Orogjii m.trket
next door, and who was suffc ring from a
pistol shot in the head. Dr. Baker was
summoned and rendered such assistance
as it was possible nt the time to furnish.
The wound from which the wounded man
was suffering is a singular one, not the
slightest mark being visible from the
outside. The bullet which was from an
ordinary revolver entered the left ear just
inside the outer portion, and ranged
downward, sinking and splitting on the
occipital bone. The unfortunate man
was conveyed to the hospital and in the
afternoon Dr. Baker extracted a portion
of the flattened bullet; the part which
impinged upon and fractured the bone
will be extracted to-day should the pati
ent's Condition permit.
The fact that Gansz .has had consider
able trouble about his business lately im
pelled many yesterday to the belief that
he had attempted to commit suicide, but
a careful examination of the premises by
an Astobiak reporter indicates that lie
vas overpowered and robbed b one or
more burglars after a desperate'struggle.
Gansz's story is that about three o'clock
eatbrday morning he was awakened by
che noise of something falling, upon whion
ne seized his revolver which was lying be
side him in the bed and raised up on the
dge of the bed; that as near as the dim
light would admit he could make out two
men, both tall, one with a heavy black
-no ust ache, the other without any beam
jr whiskers; that on seeing him move
they both dropped his clothes which they
uudbeen ransacking and grabbed bin.
one choking him, the other crying oic
and in the tussle the revolver which he
had in his left hand was discharged, aa
above indicated: that he fell insensible.
and upon coming to he crawled to the
.street for assistance.
Everything about the place corrobor
ates the story; the appearance of tho room
immediately after tne shooting showed
that his clothes were scattered in heaps,
as though dropped by same one who had
oeen going through the pockets; the shell
jr closet was emptied of its oontents,
cooking utensils were scattered in every
direction, and on the floor lay a teu doj
ar gold piece, two half dollars and two
two-bit pieces. Gansz says he doesn't
ttnow exactly how much money he had
on his person but is satisfied he had three
twenty dollar gold pieces, some small
old and a few dollars in silver; all this
except what lay on the floor had disap
peared together with a pin which he wore,
ivro watches and some minor trinkets.
Suspicion turned on a joung man
named John Norton, who has bsen work
ing for Gansz lately, and with whom hi
aad considerable trouble, but Gansz says
that neither of the men was Norton, it
is probable that whoever did it reached
Jown through the grate bars of the outer
door, pushed back the bolt, the door not
ueing locked, and thus effected an en
trance, that they had no idea of murde-,
out fearing detection determined U.
jhoke the unfortunate man into insensi
bility, when the revolver was discharged
xith the above result. It was found ly
ing under u double bed some distance
icross tho room from the bed on which
Gansz had been sleeping, with two chair
bars empty, one still warm, and from
tfhich tne bullet evidently came.
Dr. Baker does not consider the wouuu
necessarily fatal, but thinks he has about
in even chance for his life. Tho officer
aave as yet no clue as to where the vil
lains went, or any indication as to who
they were, but that it was a case of burg
iury admits of but very little doubt.
She Turned tha Tables oa Him.
To chronicle half the funny things that
happsn when most of the city is asleep
and no one walks abroad except mem
bers of the owl club, would exhaust tht
patience of many of our readers and
arouse the ire of more, but there was fa
little First ward episode last "Wednesday
night that is too good to keep, so we tell
it in confidence as it was told to us:
A certain gentleman, who shall 1 e
nameless, had had in the early watche
of the night a little difficulty with tin
partner of his joys and tho doubler oi
his expenses, wuich resulted in a tempo
rary divorce, and he liking not the inside
of the nuptial chamber locked the out
ride and sought the seclusion that u
spare bedroom granted. His spouse in
somo way unknown, obtained release
and first supplying herself with a pail
ful of ice-cold water she sought tht
apartment where lay her sleeping lord
and dashed the water over him. Ht
sprang up in wrath and she fled fast and
fur, awaking the drowsy echoes of tht
night with her shrill cries. She was cap
tured and reincarcerated, while the out
raged citizen sought and obtained the
protection of a policeman, who, aftei
some parley released her on a promise of
good behavior, but no sooner did sht
nnd herself free than sb6 again
went out beneath the silent stars
and vexed the ear of night with vocif
erous cries. Her husband and the guar
dian angel of a policeman gave chise, bi t
she eluded all search and after an hou s
fruitless effort returned, to find that sle
had gained admittance in their absence
and turned the tables on the male mem
ber of the Arm by locking the doors and
nailing down the windows. In vain did
he supplicate tor admittance; the police
man forsook him and left him clad in
woe and abbreviated garments to voie
his smtow to the glittering orbs of night
that twinkled as though their eyes were
suffused with grief over the sad lot of
poor mortals here below. It was not un
til the rosy aurora of morning had begun
to gild with glory the eastern sky that
he was allowed to enter and then only up
on solemn promise that he W-uld in fr
tare behave himself as a staid, sober
benedict should.
