BELEIVES HE
HAS ENEMIES
Three Shots Fired at Mika
Zharoff From Tidr Flats
Last Night
Mike Zharoff is wearing his
left hand in a bandage as a resi*H,
of an experience late, last night
T\v» of his fingers are badly
sxvoljcn and\sliff but. lie con
siders himsclf^fortunate to have
escaped so lightly for he believes
an attempt was made to take his
life.
When going to the dock last
night to meet the Alameda about
11:30 he says he was fired upon
by some persons who were on
the flats just beyond the stamp
mill. The tlrst inkling Zharoff
had that there was anything
wrong was when he heard some
one say: "Here be conies now"
Let him have il." A shot
whizzed over his head and he
started to run. Two more shots
followed, one of which struck
hiin in the left, hand, inflicting
a slight wound, such as might
ho made by a spent bullet from
a 22-short.
Mr. Zliaroff believes, that he
knows who I he men are, but
will not lake proceedings
against them, preferring to let
Minn k«> their way and settle
with them himself. He has
been janilor at the court house
since 1904 when ho was ap
pointed by Kx-Marshal Perry. He
is at a loss lo understand why
his lib? should be attempted as
he has harmed no one.

The Time
To advertise. If business Is quiet
invigorate it by bringing your
wares before the buyer. No mer
chant ever succeeded by cutting
down his advertising Just because
money tightened up a little. On
the other hand the merchant who
gets the money is the one who
creates a demand for his wares
through the advertising columns
of the newspaper.
If you have something for sale
write up an advertisement telling
its merits. We will bring It be
fore the people and are confident
It will bring results. Try It.
