THE FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 18986. MURDER N THE / MEXICAN ARMY Major Alvarade Is Slain by a Subordinate Officer. The Deed Committed While the Latter Is Being Court- Martialed.

Saptain Vicente Cota, a de- scendant of a nous family in Mexico. Captain Cota been undergoing a court-martial for allezed insubordination, the charges being preferred by Major Alva. rado. The saperior officer alleged that on s short campaign against ‘he Yaquis Cap- n Cota was insubordinate on several .asiohs, refusing to go over a certain ite on sthe way to the Sierra Bocatete, ling to detail certain men as ordered for special duty, and using language toward hie superior both in defiance of orders and in an insulting manner. Cota was furious when he these charges. fe was kept closely guarded during the progress of the court- martial with two soldiers at either hand and his own weapons taken from bhim. But after of such vigilance the guards be- came careless, and Cota, seizing a favor- able moment, snatched one of the car- vines and leveled it at Major Alvarado, who was not ten feet distance. The shot took effect in the breast and illing the victim instantly. The s pounced upon Cota and clubbed m upon the head with their carbines, juring him severely. Great excitement was caused in the cuartel among the soldiers, and it was with great difficuity an outbreak was avoided, as Cota is very popular among the soldiers, The captain, who now faces execution y shooting, is a son of the famous Don Clodomiro Cota, & lientenant of General quez many battles during the h occupation. e THE IUXPAM TRAGEDY. murder of the Twelfth His slayer was M ha ren B shop King Acquitted of the Killing of .

King lives at Guadalajara and bearsa good reputation. — 4N AMERICAN. PERILS OF Claims That His Life Is Threatened by Mexican Officials. SAN DIEGO, CaL., American citizen is in trouble in Mexico, and the State Department will be called upen to assist him. So far as can be ascer- tained, it is a grave case, indicating a con- spiracy to do away with Carlos Miller, a prosperous merchant of Cuanipilapam, in | the State of Guerrero. Miller is an American citizen, though he has lived in Mexico for twenty-five years. He was arrested on December 4 in the City of Mexico and was held in Belem prison until released on habeas corpus proceedings, which it is said were favor- ably decided throuch the intervention of the Maxican Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hon. Ignacio Mariscal. Miller is charged with the murder of Engireer Eduardo Zepeda at Ometepec, Guerrero. The au- thorities of Ometepec had demanded Mil- ler from the authorities of the capital city and meantime application had been made | to Minister Ransom for interference on | the part of the American Government. Miller says a_number of his enemies in the State of Guerrero have banded to- gether to do away with him. He claims that a number of assassins were hired to | lay in wait for him at Putla, a viilage of Qaxaca, on the road to Ometepec, with orders to kill him when he passed by,and to tell the story that he had tried to escape from the officers. B IMPORTANT MINING DEALS. Great Activity at San Diego and in Lower Calijornia. SAN DIEGO, CaL., Dec. 10.—Important mining deals are in progress in Lower California. G. J. Maston of Chicago is now in this city negotiating for the Sueno and Lizalda mines, below the line, and if he buys them will erect a smelterin this city, with fifty tons capacity at first, but apable of enlargement. 5 ’lr!he smelter will render possible the ‘de- velopment of many mines now lying idle in this county and in Lower Calitornia. A schooner is to load in San Francisco pext week with machinery for Lhe develop- ment of mines at San Francisquito, on the gulf rocently purchased by Percy Allsopp London. Url!hoe vacht Penelope is being altered at San Pedro to carry more freight, and will then sail for Enrenada to geta_ cargo of machinery to be taken srom San Francisco on the steamor Orizaba. This will go to Lacy Bros.’ mines at 8an Francisquito. e CLARION ISLAND TROUBLE. Said to Have Bren Seized by the Dritish for a Coaling Station. . SAN DIEGO, CaL., Dec. 10.—Clarion Island, off the west coast of Mexico, is the cause of considerable trouble on the part o f the Feceral Government, according to 1apers recaived from the south to-day. Reports have been received at Mazatlan 2nd the City of Mexico that the island has been wccupied by the British and that steps are now being taken toconvert it into a coaling station, without asking Mexico's permission, and on an old claim that:the isfand was ceded to the British, ° s forgotten treaty. The Mexican Govern- ment has or learned of | several days | hoacan and Pacific, which s | Dec. 10.—Another | dered the transport Oaxaca to] proceed to the island at once, and if the British are found there, as suspected, an explanation will be in order without delay. HMINE DISASTER AT HEDGES. Four Men Reported Kill:d and From Three to Twenty Injured by Explosion or Cava. YUMA, Ariz, Dec. 10.—Rumors of a terrible disaster in the mines of the Golden Cross Mining and Milling Company at Hedges, fifteen miles from here in San Diego County, California, have reached this town, and physicians have been sum- moned to attend the injured. Reports are conflicting and nothing very definite can be learned, but the most con- servative reports place the number of dead at four and the injured at from three to twenty. Itis said that four mdnersare entombed in the bottom of the Queen, the principal mine of the group, and there is no hope for their escape. 1wo or three men came in from the mines ata late hour to-night. but even their reports conflict and the true state of affairs will not be known before to-mor- row. It seems certain, however, that a deplorable disaster has occurred and the only thing that remains in doubtis its extent. Several frame buildings standing close | to the Queen mine are known to have burned, which would seem to indicate an explosion, but that is mereiy a theory, | and as it has been known for some time | that tnis mine was in a dangerous condi- tion and liable to cave at any momens it is more than likely that the accident oc- curred by too large a body of ore being taken away from some untimbered por- tion of the shaft. Eeaeger LOS ANGELES PARKHURSTS. 1 o s Mset Defeat in a Case Where Members of the Society Appear for the Prosecution. LOS ANGELES, Carn, Dec. 10.—The opponents of the Parkhurst Society had their inning in Justice Morrison’s court here to-day. Judge Rush, the defendant’s | | attorney in the case before the court | wherein members of the society were wit- nesses, employed almost every epithet known to the English language in his de- nunciation of the methods used to entrap | unwary violators of the law by Rev. Mr. McLean and his associates, and finally won his case on a motion to dismiss. The little courtroom was crowded with people when the argument was com- menced this morning on the defendant’s motion to nonsuit in the case of Florence | Laddy, keeper of a notorious house on®San Pedro street, and charged with selling | liquor hout a retailer’s license. The non-suit was asked for on the ground that | | the selling of one bottle of beer did not | | constitute retailing in the eyes of the law. | | | | 1S THERE AN X T0O GEIND?

LOS ANGELES, Car, Dec. 10.—Two | | wily counterfeiters, named Jobn Clark | | and Frank Heniman, were lodged in the | | city jail last night by Detectives Hawley jand Auble after a long, weary chase. | About six weeks ago several complaints were lodged at police headquarters to the effect that counterfeit half dollars were being passed npon small shop~ | keepers, whose places of business are out- | side of the central portion of the city.

When he left here he was on his way to win fame and fortune as a soldier on the insurgent stde in Cuba. | His private affairs are very much mud- { dled and the total amount of his debts of | honor and otherwise are said to aggre-ate several thousand dollars. He went into insoivency last summer and then began “going the pace that kills.”” Mrs. Teale is | atill in the city. There isa general dispo- sition among members of the Council to take no official action in the matter, as Teale’s term of office will soon expire. N 2T TR Sent fo Los Angeles to Die. LOS ANGELES, CaAL., Dec. 10.—An in- quest was held over the remains of a Mexi- can woman here to-aay, who, it issaid, bas been sent to this city in a dying condition by the San Diego County authorities. The verdict of the Coroner’s jury was “That the woman came to her death on | the 9th day of December from valvular disease of the heart.”” The jury severely { condemns the acts of the S8an Diego Hos- | pital authorities for sending the woman in a destitnte and dying condition to the | | county of Los Angele: B e e Judge Mhaw Fixes Attorneys’ Fees.

Boggs, ex- City Treasurer of Tacoma to six yearsin the penitentiary. Bogzs was sentenced last spring, after one of the most sensational trials in the history of Washington, for misusing the city funds while Treasurer from 1890 to 18%140 was held in the County Jail until July, when he was released on $10,000 bail, pending action by the Supreme Court.

Because a Man 0!d Enough to Be Her Father Had Deserted Her. She Is Smart and Knows It, She Says, and Her Ancestors Reach Back to the Fifteenth Century. Marie Viola Laie Marchener Keller- Hastings (?) added a spicy chapter to the literature of her contest of the late Judge Hastings’ will yesterday. She was testi- fying all the afternoon in the office of S. M, Shortridge, rattling on in her vol- uble and irrepressible way, every question suggesting to her a battery of incidents and side issues that she undertook to ex- plain. She went into the story of her very re- markable career with evident relish, point- ing with pride to a ‘‘pedigree” thatran back to the fifteenth century with ‘‘bisb- ops and courtiers” on ohe hand and “knights and warriors’’ on the other, em- bracing no less than *‘five coats of arms.” Her own nativity! *I claim French, German and Scotch biood” was the quick reply. “I am French first, as smart and I koow it. The trouble with you, who have Irish blood in you’’—referring to her own counsel, Matt I Sullivan—*is that rou are smart and don’t know it. Iam as good a lawyer asthough I wore tronsers. I'm as good a lawyer as any one. Iknow, for instance, that a woman cannot sue her husband for alimony while she has money in bank of her own, and as 1 always had a lot of money and have some still, I couldn’t bring a suit of that kind. The act is, I was a money maker, I was born I have been an insurance agent, a lecturer, stock gambler and other things besides, "having kept a lodging- house. Why I put $20,000 in one specula- tion in cotton down South. Imade $18,000 in & gold speculation, buying in Tennes- see ang seliing in New York, and didn’t have a seat in the exchange either. “\When did I lecture? Ob, I studied elocution in New York. Booth told me I was one of the best he ever heard and that 1 would make a success if I tried the- atricals. ButI badn’t time, I was always so busy. Preferred to work as an insur- ance agent? Ob, that was after my hus- band deserted me and not wishing to live on the money I had saved I went to work again. The lecture? O.! I lectured on hygiene to ‘women only.” Itraveled ail over the coast doing that and was very successful. You old bachelors were not permitted to hear but had to learn from others what I said.” 1t was in this style that the witness un- dertook to *‘depose’’ before Notary Levy in | the matter of the contest of Judge Hast- ings’ vill Mr. Shortridge remonstrated, but with littie effect. The notary warned the wit- ness to stick to the text, but her counsel | smiled and insisted that all the lady’s ramblinzs should go into the record. Getting down to the case in point she | said that she wrote letters to Judge Hast- ings right along until 1884, when ‘‘things begzan to become unpleasant.” covered that tha Judge was then traveling sround in the East in company with “this Knust girl.”” She wrote to him to know if he was going to desert her for an ignorant servant girl. Sbe advised him that he had better set the girl’s real lover up in business and be done with them, for the iover would probably kill him. “[ gnew nothing aboul this Knust girl I heard the Judge remark to Mr. Giselman that she had followed him t» town. 1 was then aroused and went look- ing for her. Ifound where she was stop- ping, and mora than that, I found the Judge there. Ilistened at the door and I heard the Judge doing a dance that was peculiar to him.” The witness looked round at her(nudienc!, smiling intelli- gently. +] never had anything to do with h'm after that—never except once or twice, when he was feeling penitent and sorry, *What did you do when you found that your husband had eiven himself to an- other?” asked Mr. Shortridge. ““1 was wild with chagrin to think thata man ola enough to be my father should desert me.” “How did you subscribe yourself when you wrote to him?” ©Oh, as ‘Your Loving Mary,’ or ‘Your Devoted Mar; Sometimes ‘Your Heart- stricken Mary’ when he was not behaving himself.” “When you heard that he had married this cther young woman—what Jdid you do then ?” *I don’t admit that it was a marriage. It was a bigamy. Do you suppose Judge Hastings would have committed a peni- tentiary offense unless he had softening of the brain? I brought this t{hing to the Supreme Court, and in_my answer there I said I was his wife. He thought I would sue for divorce, but I fooled him. He nrst beggared himself by putting ali bis prop- erty out of his name ana then committed bigamy. Why, when I first heard of his relations with this girl I went to see her. I asked her if my husband had betrayed her and sbe said ‘He ought io know,’ which I think was a very clever answer., 1 told her I would give her $50 a month if she would not fo.low him any more. I offered also to send her to school, for she had no education.” The witness explained in answer to close questioning how she came by the name of Keller. Her maiden name was Lake, which she sometimes used even in these Jater days on_ visiting cards. Her married name was Marchener, but it was a foreign name and she didn’t like it and so asked the Legislature of Illinois to change her name to Keller. She had rela- tives of that name, she said. She also gained something of an inheritance in that name. Did she have any otLer rea- son? Sha might have, she said, but these were good enough and she would have to “meditate’’ a long time to tell about the “‘other reasons.” Mr. Snortridge told her to meditate, but she would go no further in this fine. Those letters which were required to be produced by the order of court were not forthcoming. She said that she had bsen to her attorney’s office that very morning. They had been in the safe, but the firm | had been moving, and they seemed to be mislaid—they could not be found. Mr. Sullivan stated that he had had two papers supposed to be signed by Judge Hastings, but_he could not lay his hands upon them. He wo:ld make a search, however. The hearing w: then ad- journed. CAODKED WO WIS DONE Continued from First Page. not acquainted with Fitzsimmons or with Julian. General Barnes had no better luck with this witness on the cross-examination than She dis- | he had with George Allen, but he did not get caught in any of the .trap holes that Kowaisky and Freidenrich kindly left open for him. The examination of 'Abbott lasted till after noon, and it was agreed to proceea with the taking of further depositions, beginning next Monday morning at 10 o’clock. The counsel for Fitzsimmons said that they had several other witnesses (0 ex- amine, and the attorneys for Sharkey an- nounced that they desired to put Earp, Sharkey, Gibbs, Groom and others on the stand. Judge Sanderson remarked that as the matter was simply the taking of the de- positions of witnesses who were non-resi- dent and about to leave this City he would not allow Messrs. Gibbs and Groom to be placed on the stand. Tuey were old resi- dents of San Francisco, had no intention of going away, and could not be driven out of the City, he said. and flashed under the wire a winner by a good length. immense excitement followed, and the Americans, who quickly discovered that Earp had never had any tip on the result and had deliberately thrown his friends, beeame crazy with rage. Knives and pis- tols quickly made their appearance, and but for the fact that McCarthy, who was a deputy sheriff, stepped in and protected Earp, he would have lost hisli e then and there. The matter was eventually arranged, and the Americans setiled their bets like men, but they still remained very sore at Earp, who, finding things decidedly too warm for him, disappeared that night, and has never been seen in that part of the country since. This is a slight and fully authentic sam- ple of Wyatt Earp's squareness from a sporting point of view. i “Iam not trying this case now,” added \EARP AND HIS HOWITZER. the court, *‘and I don’t know whether it ever can be tried."” “Are your witnesses residents here or fugitives from somewhere else?'’ asked Barnes of Kowalsky. “They are the sams kind as yours, gen- eral,” responded Mr. Freidenrich. After this exchange of courtesies the court adjourned until Monday. LEETIE R EARP’S STRAIGHT TIP. How He Tried to Fix a Horse Race and Throw Down His Friends. The following incident in which Wyatt Earp, the referce of the recent Sharkey- Fitzsimmons fight, figures, and which by no means redounds to his credit, is well remembered by many San Diegans. The Fifth of May is a day religiously observed by all patriotic Mexicans and one gleefully celebrated, because it is the anniversary of the baitle of Saragosse, when, in their struggle for independence, they overthrew the French forces and gained liberty and equality. 1t is the custom of the country to hold horse races and athletic sports of all kinds on this day, together with feasts and dances. In the year 1850, when the anni- versary of the battle of Saragossa ap- proached, the Mexicans and Americans who lived in the neighborhood of Sempre- viva, which is on the border, about ten miles east of Tia Juana, made great prep- arations for its observance. One of the American residents of the | place, Harvey McCarthy, had a fine bay horse, whose beauty and speed were the | pride of the border. This animal was es- | pecially admired by tbe Mexicans, who claimed that it counld outdistance any other beast around the neighborhcod in a | straight-away race. One of the neighboring American ranch- ers, however, owned a handsome roan ! horse, which he claimed could show a clean pair of heels to the bay whenever | and wherever desired. The feeling of rivalry between the two men at last became so strong that it was decided 10 have a fair trial of their horses’ speed, and this trial, it was arranged, should be the principal event taking place on the Mexican anniversary. Both horses were matched in a half-mile dash for a purse of §500. As the day for the race approached the excitement on both sides ran high, and the Mexicans, when their money gave out, brought their horses and cattle and pledged them on the bay animal against the gold of the Americans, Wyatt Earp was in the neighborhood at the time and took a great interest in the | coming race. He went.among his Ameri- can friends and told them to bet all their money on the roan horse, saying he had arranged with the owner of the bay to pull his animal, and that they would all | win big money by taking his advice. i The Americans almost to a man fol- lowed Earp’s advice and took up every bet they couid obtain,in many instances giving big odds, On the day of the race just before it was called Earp went to McCarthy, the owner of the bay horse, asked him to have it pulled and offered him half the stakes if he would throw the race in favor of the Americans. This McCartby refused to do point blank, | and then, fearing that his jockey had been tampered with, went ou: to where the horses were on the track and discharged him. He put another man in the saad!le, and remained with the horse until the race was called. At the start the roan had a slightadvan- tage, but the bay crept siowly up, and at the quarter both horses were neck and Judge Low Sentences Him to Pay a . Fine of Fifty Dollars. ‘Wyatt Earp, the gun-fighter, was fined $50 by Judge Low yesterday for cgrrying a concealed weapon, the alternative being twenty-five days in the County Jail. The case attracted a large crowd, standing room in the courtroom being at a premium. Captain Wittman testified to taking the revolver from Earp while he was in the prize ring at the Pavilion. He knew that Earp was not an officer of the law and did not have a permit to carry a revolver. He also knew that Earp had been residing in the City for the past four years. Earp said he lived at 1004 Golden Gate avenve and had been a resident of this City for four years. He was a horseman Previous to that he was a sporting man and previous to that he was a United States Marsbal in Arizona, New Mexico and Colerado. “I have no permit,” said Earp, “and the reason I always carry a revolver is te- cause my life is constantly in danger from people I have sent to the State’s prison from Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado, who have threatened to kill me when their terms expire, and some are expiring now. If these men knew i had no weapon with me there would be a general onslaught upon me.” Attorney Hardesty testified that he had known Earp for fifteen or sixteen years, when he was an officer of the law in Arizona. He wasa quiet, inofiensive man and a first-class officer. Judge Low said there was no doubt Earp had violated the law, and he had no alter- native but to impose sentence upon him. He deprecated the fact that the law should leave no discretionary power in the hands of the Judge. He would inflict the lowest penaity, $50, with the alternative of twenty-five days in the County Jail. Earp had $50 bail money up sad he told the clerk of the court to keep 1t in pay- ment of his fine. He then waiked out of the courtroom with his attorney. Pl s Nk ANOTHER OF ITS FAKES. An “Examliner” Story Calculated to Injure the Prospectsand Pros- perity of Fresno. Faking can no more be renounced by the monarch of that style of journalism than the use of morphine by the confirmed “dope fiend.” With fakes—the founda- tion of its claims to enterprise—eliminated from its columns it would lose its reputa- tion (so dear to its proprietor) for vicious sensationalism. So the faking must go on. Whether individuals or communities suffer matters not. Its latest effort is di- rected agsinst the welfare of Fresno. In yesterday's issne of the Examiner was published a dispaten which purported to have come from Fresno stating that Fresno was to be abolished as a division terminus, and that the Baker:field divi- sion, in charge of Superintendent Burk- halter, was to be consolidated out of exist- ence on January 1. This fake dispatch stated that the northern half of the div1 sion was to be placed under the jurisdic- tion ot Superintendent Wilder, whose headquarters are at Oak'and, and that the southern half was to be merged into the division under Superintendent Muir, who has headquarters at Los Angeles. ‘When the attention of General Manager Julius Kruttschnit ot the Southern Pa- cific Company was called to the alleged dispatch in the Examiner he remarked: “Ob, that’s simply another Examiner fake, made out of whole cloth.
