HAD WARNED THE MILLIONAIRE Offered to Prevent the Dastardly Crime if He Was Paid a Sum of Money. LOS ANGELES, CaL.,, Feb. 18.—Harry Coyne, alias Hank Coyne, an alleged de- tective, was arrested this morning by De- tectives Auble and Hawley on a warrant char, commit murder. The arrest is the out- growth of the explosion which took place at the residence of Capitalist T. D. Stim- gon, on Figueroa street, a short time ago. About three months ago Coyne was en- gaged by Mr. Stimson to accompany a son of the millionaire 10 the City of Mexico. This “on was unruly and ungovernable, and ' .e millionaire desired to get him away from the city. When Coyne re- turned to Los Angeles he found that his office furniture had been attached by a constable to liquidate some of his indebt- edness. A few days after his return Coynr went to Stimson and apprised him that b tim. son) was in danger of his life. 1 - stated that something terrible was likel: to hap- pen him. He intimated that he w:3in the secret and that for a certain sum oi money an exposure of the guilty parties would b made. Stimson refused to treat with Coyne, end soon afterward the explosion occurred. mson went to the Chief of Police and informed him of Coyne’s acti plied threats. Detectives A ley wer a then detailed on the case who appears to have al his assurance, called on and gave him a lengthy and detailed account of another contemplated outrage on Stim- son. He informed the Chief that for $60 he would place the malefactors ir the Chief’s power. Coy T. D. Stimson. He notified that there were three men in the scheme to either blow up the Figueroa- street mansion, set fire to his lumber-yard or stab him in the back. The most singular thin, with this affair was the fact that Coyne oly stated that these men were in his power and would do his bidding. He made the propositiun both to Mr. Stimson and the Chief of Police that if he was paid $250 he would so arrange it that they could captare the men in the act, but he stipu- lated that he should be one of the men who would make the capture. The police say that Coyne was not alone in the scheme. When the case of Coyne is brought up in the courts sensational de- velopments are expected. It ishintedthat one of the supposed malefactors is a young man well known to community and not unknown to Mr. Stimson. BASEBALL AT STANFORD.

PROBING THE WILLOWS FEUD, Political Quarrels Caused the Death of Druggist Putnam. WERE BITTER ENEMIES. | | | Editor Sehorn Had Excoriated | His Opponent in the Columas of His Paper. THEY MET UPON THE STREET. An Angry Altercation, a Blow, and Tuen the Fatal Shots Were Fired, WILLOWS, CaL., Feb. 18.—The taking | of evidence against W. A. Sehorn, on trial for the killing of Druggist Putnam last | October, began to-day. During the morn- | ing session of court the prosecution’s case was outlined by Attorney Swinford, and | then H. W, Walker, a son-in-law and part- ner of Puinam, was called. Swinford said that for four or five months there had been an unfriendliness | between Sehorn and Putnam. The de- | ceased had seen 2 number of inflammatory articles in the journal published by Sehorn, reflecting on him, and had ordered the paper discontinued three or four times, but it was sent to his store despite bis protests. | Supervisor H. C. Hulet was the first wit- | ness to describe the killing of Putnam. He was in the act of separating Putnam and Sehorn at the time the first shot was fired. On cross-examination, Attorney Albery labored hard to carry the witness back to the time of the Democratic Sena- torial Convention in 8an Francisco, when the Hon. John Boggs and J. L. Seawell were candidates in August, 1884, and to | which Putnam was a delegate. It was | finally elicited that Sehorn criticized. at that time as well as afterward, the actions of Putnam. Dr. Randolph, who was called to attend Mr, Putnam at the time of the tragedy, and who arrived just as Putnam was breathing his last, described the pistol- | shot wounds, four in nuinbter. He said that either of the first two wounds was necessarily fatal. Frank Putnam, a nephew of the dead man, had witnessed the killing of his| uncle. He came along at the time and | saw his uncle standing with his back againsta post in front of his drugstore, | and Sehorn in front of and tacing him. | Sehorn was using insulting language and | shaking his finger in Putnam’s face. He called Putnam *“a pretty man,” and of- fered to bet him $20 that he did not have certain papers. Putnam requested Sehorn | to go away and come around in the morn- ing. Sehorn seemed very angry and| would not go away. | “Hulet then stepped between them,” said the witness. “There was a blow. I thought Sehorn was partly knocked down. I got hold of my uncle to pull him away, and Sehorn then shot four times. I rushed my uncle to the middle of the strect as fast as I could and asked him 1f he was shot. I heard gurgling of blood, and he died—never spoke.” Frank Putnam was still on the stand at the close of the day’s session. Judge | Bridgeford ordered the jury into the charge of the Sheriff, stating that he be- lieved the importance of the case war- ranted it. SUISUN VOTES BONDS. But Six Ballots Cast Against the Proposi- | tion for an Extensive Water Works System. | SUISUN, Car., Feb. 18.—The election for bonding the town to acquire an ade- quate water supply was held to-day. The votes recorded for incurring an indebted- ness of $42,000 necessary for the construc- tion and completion of a public water works were 145, while only 6 votes were cast against the proposition. Bonds will te issued for the aggregate amount, so that one-forticth of the indebtedness will be paid annually, and will bear interest at the rate of 5 per cent per annum. The bonds will be of the denomination of $525 each, and will number eighty in all. The total amount for the forty years will be 38 The pecple here, during the past thirty years, have paid $151,792 to the present water company. The sovrce of supply for the proposed | water works is eight and a nalf miles from Suisun, and when the works are con- structed Suisun will own and control one of the best water systems 1n the State. The result of the election to-day will no | doubt cut an important figure in the en- deavor to have a beet sugur factory estab- lished in Suisun. Enough sugar-beet seed has been received to experiment on fifty ranches, and it is being distributed gratui- tously by the proprietors of the Solano Republican to the farmers in this vicinity. == e | | | GOLD IN GREEN VALLEY.

SANTA ANA, Cal., Feb. 18.—Julian Berdugo, a cousin of Jose Sepulveda, who was found murdered here last night, was arrested to-day for the crime by Shen ff Nichols and has confessed. Berdugo claimed Sepulveda shot first and that he killed him in self-defense. Several people in the neighborhood heard one shot, but none heard two. The murder is generally believed to have been a premeditated one, the result of an old quarrel between the two on account of Berdugo’s attentions to Sepulveda’s sister. ISepulveda was well connected, being a 1ephew of Ignacio Sepniveda, who holgs a Federal appointment in Mexico, and re- lated to other prominent Spaniards of his name. There is considerable excitement over the killing, but mob violence is not feared. Atter the Coroner's inquest a warrant Wwas issued for Berdugo's .arrest.

An Oregonizn Who Says That He Might Be in That Pre- dicament, He Proposes to Help in a Very Good Work, and Has Good Reason to Do So. Some people in this world who are brimful of heppiness nave the faculty of keeping that fact to themselves, as though théy were afraid thatsome of it might escape and they would be a little poorer on that account. But there are sensible folks, though—enough to make up for these poor misers, and one of these bright, whole-souled men is Mr. E. W. Fowler of Kamele, Or. Some time ago Mr. Fowler, who, &s has been noted above, was celebrated on ac count of his good neture and his vivacity, be- gan to droop & little. His smile had not that sunniness nor his laugh that hearty ring as of yore. Those who knew him began to sympa- thize with him, to tell him how sorry they were to see him_ “going down the hill,” and a nundred other equally dispiriting things. And then they had Mr. Fowler as good ns under ground. ~ But they were reckoning with- out their host. They forgot that he was & man of good sense and knew where to look for help, and they had neglected to remember that the grand old Hudson Medical Institute was s in existence, and that its corps of great sp ists were aaily, nay, king wonder- ful cures.
