At Napa, Oal., the other day, a Frenchman named Pettit appeared in the street flourishing a pistol in an excited manner. A man diving by called out him. "Don't shoot: you'll scire my horses!" The Frenchman bowed and said "Excuse me, Sir," waited until the horses were at a safe distance, and then deliberately blew out his brains.

Seeing that he was no longer soaring her, he toolt to running toward ber, brandishing a knife, and declaring that he would kill her. When that plan began to fail, as it did a few days ago, he stabbed her to death.
