The Shirt and Boots of One of Them Were Covered With Blood. STRONG EVIDENCE OF GUILT. Officers Confident That Two of the Trio Committed the Murder. SAN DIEGO, CaL.,, Oct. 7.—Three In- dians, supposed to be the murderers of Mrs. Anne Sandrock, in Mission Valley, Saturday, were captured at Descanso, forty miles east of this city, this morning, and officers arrived there to-night to bring them to this city. It is believed that two are the murderers, and that the third met them last night. Two rode a sorrel horse, and gave their names as Captain Ross of Campo and Juan of Laguna rancheria. The third is Valen- tine, also of Laguna. The arrest was made by John Coombes of Descanso, who notified the officers and searched the prisoners in the meantime. On Captain Ross was found a shirt spattered red with blood, and blood was also found on his boots. The latter were heavy and bore extra heavy nails on sole and heel. This is regarded as im- portant, as Mrs. Sandrock had a wound on her breast appearing to have been made by the heel of the murderer as he stood over her and cut her throat. Valentine was the only one of the party who wouid talk. He says he met the others at Conejos, below Descanso, and passed the night with them. They would not talk much with him, but conversed together. They admitted having been in Mission Valley Saturday. Valentine answers the description of the man seen with Ross and Juan, but later advices are to the effect that the man was seen going rapidly toward the Julian country mixi afternoon, | Coonmbes tried to get a story out of Cap- tain Ross and Juan, but they were sullen and would not utter a word. He tele- | phoned to the officers that they presented | every evidence in manner and appearance | of being guilty. No mon found on them, but Val- entine carrie veral dollars. About $20 is believed to have been taken from Mrs. Bandrock’s store. Sheriff Jennings arrested an Indian named Messa this evening on suspicion. He was missing from Ranchera in Mission Valley at the time of the murder and fails 10 give an account of himself. LLEJO. Death of Charles Daly, the Master Joiner at the Navy-Yard. VALLEJO, Car., Oct. Che death of Charles Daly tnis morning surprised no one, although the announcement caused deep regret. For several years Mr. Daly had suffered from diabetes, and for the past twelve months he had been confined to his house. Charles Daly was a native of New York and had nearly attained his fifty-sixth year. He had been a resident of Vallejo for about a quarter of a certury and dur- | ing that time filled many positions of honor and trust. About twenty years ago Mr. Daly was elected Marshal of this city, and on two different occasions for periods of vears held the position of foreman joiner at Mare Island Navy-yard. He was a Mason of high standin belonging to commandery, and holding at different times the highest offices they could bestow. Itissaid Mr. Daly was one of the best informed Masons on the Pacitic Coast. He was City Clerk | of Vallejo for a time and was long promi- nent in Fire Department matters, being for years an active member of Hook and Ladder Company 1, and serving as secre- tary of the Board of Fire Delegates. The funeral wili take place here Wednes- day under Masonic auspices. RIVERSIDE COU Profitable Returns From the Honey- Gatherers’ Work of the Season. WINCHESTER, Car., Oct. 7.—The api- arists of Riverside County are well satis- fied with their season’s work, their stands having yielded on an average of from 200 to 300 pounds of hoaey. V. E.

Riverside Capitalists Secure a Valuable Concession From Mexico. RIVERSIDE, Car., Oct. 7.—Some time ago a company was formed in this county to prosecute the development of ualuable placer mines in Lower California. The company, which is headed by experienced mining men, obtained from the Mexican Government a concession of several thousand acres of placer land which is known to be rich in gold. P. L. Gritfin, the general manager, has just retarned here after several weeks’ stay at the mines. He comes to arrange for the vurchase of machinery to be shipped to the scene of operations. The company has béen organized with $2,000,- 000 capital, and active operations will be- gin just as soon as their machinery can be put in position. e POINT SAN The Body of an Unknown Man Upon the Beach. REDWOOD CITY, Car., Oct. 7.—The body of a man was washed ashore on the ocean beach, about two miles north of Point San Pedro, 1n San Mateo County, several days ago. The incurved shore line from Fort Point southerly along the ocean is such that the Cliff House and Sutro Heights are directly opposite and plainly visible from Point San Pedro. it is quite possible, therefore, that the body came from San Francisco or vicinity.

Fiity acres in San Francisco County was worth -more than all the acres of Colusa. Raleigh Barcar did not insist on the adoption of the limitation and offered as an amendment that ‘‘the papers of the valley battle against land monopoly to the end that it be more speedily crushed.” The amendment was accepted. The most animated speechies of the ses- sion related to the sum of $1000, which the law allows each county, through its Board of Supervisors, to expend for advertising. The sentiment of the discussion was | strongly against the publication Qf pamph- lets. It was also against boom editions of the San Francisco dailies, which often con- tained as the chief feature of the editions the pictures of county officers. Extra copies of these were yet stored away under county courthouse steps. The money spent for such booming had been thrown away. Propositions were advanced that the lea_gne should authorize its newspaper membership in each county to apply to Boards of Supervisors and request that the sum authorized by law be given to the local press for special articles setting forth the resources of the Sacramento Valley in general, and the county in particular. Raleigh Barcar of Vacaville, in speak- ing of the right of Supervisors to appro- priate the money for advertising, said 1t had been sustained by court decisions on the ground that it was expended to invite immigration to the couniry.

SANTA BARBARA, Car., Oct. 7.—Pedro Choncorena was to-day arrested on a charge of grand larceny at the instance of Jerome C. Wilson, liveryman, who claims that Choncorena sold two horses upon which he had given Wilson a mortgage. Two years ago Choncorena was the pros- perous lessee of the Hope Ranch, owning great flocks of sheep and a large number of horses, with a stock of fine farming im- plements. He was then thought to possess a moderate fortune. To-day he is insol- vent, and one suit after another has been brought against him by people to whom he has become indebted. e N CANNOT CHARGE FOR OVERTIME. A Ruling That Means Much to Pacific Coaat Shippers. PORT TOWNSEND, Wasa., Oct. 7.—As the result of an inquiry recently forwarded from here by Collector Saunders, to whom protests had been made by shippers of Tacoma, notification was received by that officer to-day from the Treasury Depart- ment in effect that the inspectors of cus- toms had no right to charge shippers ex- tra for overtime. This ruling is to apply not only in all cases after hours, but on Sundays and holidays as well. Up to this ruling the overtime charged netted on an average from $50 to $100a day at Tacoma to the officials there. 4 KILLING T PORTLAND. Dr. Marshall Dies From the Effects of a Blow. PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 7.—Dr. Walter Marshall, the pioneer veterinary surgeon, died this evening from the effects of a blow received last night while he was intoxicated.

The Marysville Cannery Company was closing the pack of a successful season. Heavy shipments have been made to New York and other Eastern cities during the height of the season, when peaches were more abundant. Six hundred persons, mostly girls, were employed, some of the women earning as high as$3a day each, and scarcely any making less than $la day. The woolen mills have done a great deal to establish the prestige of Marys- ville as a manufacturing city. Fabrics {rom this factory with its trade-mark are recognized as goods of superior worth in the markets of the world. Most of the wool comes from Yuba and adjacent counties, although a large lot was pur- chased in San Francisco recently. The semi-annual convention of the Press League met in Red Men’s Hall at 1 o’clock this afternoon. 'W. R. Ellis of ‘Woodland, president of the league, made a brief ad- dress on the opening.

A committee consisting of Raleigh Bar- car, D. G. Holt, C. K. McClatchey, W. D, Pennycook, E. B. Willis and W. R. Ellis proposed resolutions pronouncing against land monopoly, declaring in favor of good roads and the creation of a public park near the railroad cepot at Sacramento. The resolutions also urge upon all political parties to nominate the best men for the Legislature, ana suggest that an annual convention of all County Supervisors be held to present views regarding legislation. The establishment of smelting works at Shasta is recommended, and also the es- tablishment at some point in the Sacra- mento Valley of a headquarters for immi- gration, by securing suitable buildings and giving use of them free of rent to immigrants and their families while tney are looking up suitable places on which they may de- sire to locate. G. A. Morris of the Marysville Appeal spoke in favor of newspaper organization and newspaper leadership in promoting the interests of the valley. He made a spirited speech, which elicited applause, Will 8. Green spoke on the resolutions presented by the executive committee. He objected particularly to this clause, “We uree the papers of the valley to battle for a constitutional amendment declaring that all persons who own over 1000 acfes of land shall be assessed in an increasing ratio for every 500 acres over that number, to the end that land monopoly may ba more speedily crushed.” Mr. Green did | not believe in a limitation of .acres, as the solved to refer the matter to the executive committee with power to act.

Mr. Larkin offered the following, which was adopted : Resolved, That it is the sense of the conyen- tion that the newspapers represented in this league are pledged to wage an uncompromis- ing war against the deposit of debrisin the streams anc on the agricultural lands of this valley. The executive committee was directed to prepare a memorial to Congress, setting forth the importance of improving and retaining the navigation of the Sacra- mento River. A resolution, adopted by a rising vote, thanked the citizens of Marysville for the hospitality extended to the convention. On behalf of the citizens of Marysville Edivor Sherwood thanked the members of the convention for visiting the city and noiing its industries and growth. W. R. Eilis, president of the league, tendered his resignation, as he had sold his paper. The league declined to accept the resignation. The session adjourned subject to the call of the executive. * In honor of the editorial guests, an open- air promenade was given early this even- ing at Cortez Park, which was attended by a vast throng of people.

PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 7.—A few weeks ago three thugs walked into Blaker Gra- ham’s branch provision store on Hood street and set upon Fred Walsh, a youth in charge, and beat him into insensibility. Before they could rifle the store they were scared away by approaching officers. Eventually all were captured and identi. fied as James White, Walter Arnold and Ed Kimball. Judge Stephens of the Criminal Court to-day sentenced White to a term of ten years and Arnold and Kimball six years each. The Judge said he was sorry he could not impose heavier sentences. Ar- nold begged piteously for mercy. Kimbal] is well connected in' the East. He cried when sentence was passed, and said he had broken ‘his parents' hearts by his downfall in the West, / 1 and conferred in low whispers, and then returned to the stage and commanded the driver to hand out ‘what money he had. This consisted of about $5. After anpro- priating this, the highwaymen told Smith to drive on, and not look back, or ne would be shot. The robbers were entirely masked, even to their feet, not a particle of their clothing being left uncovered. One of them was armed with a pistol, while the other robber carried a rifle. From Mr. Smith’s ob- servation of their actions, neither of them was engaged in the Coulterville stage hold-up of a week ago. FAILURE AT TACOMA. M. Cohn & Co.’s Business in Charge of a Receiver. TACOMA, WasH., Oct. 7.—M. Cohn & Co., proprietors of two clothing-stores bere, filed a chattel mortgage after of- fice hours this evening on stocks ag- gregating $35,000. The mortgages are held chiefly by Buffalo, N. Y., banks and clothing manufacturers. There are said to be other claims aggregating $50,000, many being held by San Francisco firms. On foreclosure proceedings brought im- mediately by Altman & Co. David Levin of this city was appointed receiver and his bond fixed at $20,000. T he firm has stores at Yakima and Hoquiam.

SEVEN FEET FROM DEATH. The Ferry Steamers Sausalito and Tiburon Almost in Collision. The Tiburon and Sausalito ferry-boats were again nearly in collision yesterday morning. On half a dozen different oc- casions either one steamer or the other has been in fault, but the Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers have always white- washed the captains. No one has been to blame and the steamers of the two lines keep on getting within a few feet of each other in the fogand thus endan- gering the lives of hundreds of passengers. In the narrow escape of yesterday morn- ing there was gross carelessness some- where and the investigation, if Inspectors Talbot and Phillips decide upon holding one, will probably be very searching. The steamer Tiburon, in charge of Captain ‘White, left Tiburon for San Francisco at 7 A.M., and the Sausalito, in charge of Cap- tain Wiison, left San Francisco for Sau- salito at the same time, Both ferry-boats passed Alcatraz on the east side, but owing to the dense fog it was impossible to discern each other. When less than a hundred fset apart the passen- ers on the [liburon saw the Sausalito eading for them at full speed. Captain White had seen the danger. however, and had ordered the engines reversed, so that the Tiburon was going full speed astern. The Sausalito hefa on her way, and the ssengers say they could have thrown a iscuit on the rival boat had they so de- sired. At one time it looked asthough a col- lision could not be avoided, and the pas- sengers on both steamers made a rush for life-preservers. A narrow margin of seven feet averted the catastrophe and probably saved many lives. The Sausalito and Tiburon held on their separate ways after the accident; as though nothing had hap- pened. When seen about the matter later in the day Captain White laid all the blame on the Sausalito, and Captain Wil- son said he had to take the course he did or else be crowded on to Alcairaz. “‘I was making the usual 7 o’clock tri from Tiburon,” said Captain White. “It wasvery foggy, but all went well until we were abreast of Alcatraz Island. Then I heard the Sausalito coming and signaled her that I would go to the right. The next thing I knew she was coming straight for us and 1t looked as though she would strike us amidship. I then blew three sharp blasts on the whistle to notify them I was reversing my engines, and I rang up ‘full speed astern.” I also ordered the engineer to ‘open her up,’ and it was only a few mo- ments before our way was stopped and we were racing back toward Tiburon. The Sausalito was making fully twelve knots an hour and she fairly flew toward us. I never thought we could escape her anda aimed at taking a glancing blow. She just missed us, however, and all’s well that ends well.”” “It was a case of going on the island or crossing the Tiburon’s bow,” said Captain Wilson. ““The fog was very heavy and it was impossible 10 see the length of the steamer. I heard one whistle and acted accordingly. When I saw the position the Tiburon was in I knew my only chance to avert a collision was_ by crossing her bow. I took the chance and in a few seconds the danger wasover.”” Both the skippers seemed to make light of the incident, but the passengers took a different view of the matter and the narrow escape was the one tovic of conversation on the Sausalito, San Rafael, Tiburon and Ukiah all day. 1t was only the other day that the Sausalito and San” Rafael grazed each other on a foggy afternoon, and now that the Tiburon and Sausalito have had a narrow escape the people are beginning to wonder what the end will be.
