Bloch- man, living near this city, was wantonly murdered to-day by an intoxicated man believed to be a young man named Kelly, alias Kelsoe. Blochman’s body was found in a bean field a quarter of a mile from his home. There were evidences of a des- perate struggle and the back of the lad’s head had been crushed in by a blow with a heavy instrument. He was seen in com- pany with a drunken man, supposed to be | Kelly, a short time before the tragedy. Sheer bloodthirstiness was the only mo- tive for the tragedy. The suspect was discharged yesterday from Cook’s thresh- ing gang and at-once proceeded to get in- toxicated. He is about 24 years old, small of stature, with dark complexion and black mustache. He has lost all of his upper teeth. After the tragedy the murderer escaped and has not been captured. What are Humors?

REA-MAGKENZIE FEUD 15 BITTER Speclal Dispatch to The Call, SAN JOSE, July 6.—The political fight that started between ‘“Jim” Rea and ‘“Johnnie” Mackenzie over the appoint- ment of a County License Collector by the Supervisors is spreading, and it is said that the Mackenzie faction will come back at the Reaites by attacking the county license law. Mackenzie's candidate for collector, Elmer Cottle, was turned down and Rea, with the aid of Supervisor Roll, a Democrat, elected J. D. Canelo. The compensation of the office is 5 per cent of the amount collected. This should net the License Collector from to $1500 a year. The Mackenzie cliqué is bitter over the treatment of Cottle and willing to do any- thing to get back at Rea. They propose to attack the coum‘y license law, whnich provides for collecting city licenses, on the ground that it is unconstitutional. It is said a test case will be brought to re- strain the County License Collector from collecting licenses from the saloon-keepers of this city. A firm of attorneys has been consulted and it is said that a number of saloon-keepershave agrecd to contribute to a fund.with which to make the fight. There are eighty-four saloons in the city, each of which contributes $120 a year to the county treasury. In the various towns of the county there are 124 saloons, which turn into the treasury $14,880 yearly. If the law were declared unconstitutional it would cut the compensation of the col- lector to less than $600 a year, and make the office practically worthless. Rea is boasting over his defeat of Mae- kenzie and declares he intends to open headquarters, and there is every indica- tion that the war between the bosses is on in earnest.
