Three Fingered Jack.

The editor of the Stockton JournqL does not
doubt the correctness Of the report of Joaquin s
| capture, though he has no further particulars
! than were furnished our readers. The robber
who is reported to have been slain in company
with joaquin, is undoubtedly the same fellow
10 whom we allnded yesterday. The barbara
ties which Three Fingered Jack, with his com
panions, committed at the early period in the
history OF American affairs. in California. which
We're mentioned Incidentally in our notice of the
| rascal yesterday, inflicted upon two Amer
leans, Mr.. L. Cowe and Fowler. The ac-
count of their murder was published in the To-
cal papers of this place, in 1916. 1t is substaIl-
| TALLY as follows:
Two three davs after the town of Sonoma
taken by the Bear Flag party and the
proclamation issued by VIM b. Ide the two
young men above named started to 60 from
their homes near Sonoma to Botleea. On their
way, not tar from Petuuma Greek. they en-
copntered party Uf native Caiorniaus, all
| armed by whom they were taken prisoners
They were kept guarded until next morning,
when a council was held 10 determine their
fate. A swarlhy New Mexican named Padla
aud Californian named Three Fingered Jack
was most ac'i in denonncine the prisoners as
only deserving of DEATH and their counsel pre-
vailed. The unfortunate young men We're
! stripped bound to IA tree with the ariets ofth or
captors, and for IA while the inhnman wret,hes
|
and IN the manner that savages are said 10 tor
ture their victims at the stake by experiments
with their iomalS hawks. The men prayed to be
shot. The fiends then commenced stonine their
victims. One stone broke the jaw of Fowler
miscreant advanced, ihrnst the end of his ri
atfa through the month, cut an incision in the
throat, and nrade lie by which The jaw was
dragged ont The perpetrator of this horrible
cruelty was Jack. Cowie, who had tainted, had
the skin stripped from his arms and shoulders.
Both men were now slowly despatched with
knives. Nothing can exceed the sutferings in
the slow torture to which they subjected.
Pieces of flesh were taken from their bodies and
crammed into their mouths. They were event
ually destroyed by cutting out their bowels.
1t in some degree mitigates the painful emo
ton with which these deeds are contemplated,
to know that vengeance was sure and swift on
most of the murderers-a party OF Bear hunters
rode out of Sonoma and fell upon company
commanded by De la Tore, which the murder
ers had joined Although three times their
number, the hunters rushed upon them with
rifles and knives. Eight We're slain and several
wounded. Three fingered Jack was taken
! prisoner afterwards, but managed to make his
escape. He has at last, we hope paid the for
felt OF his vianous de eds in Calitornia.-AHQ.

The USE OF Observation-Disclosures is often bene-
fcial to the victim, particularly when the vic
tim is a candidate for Congress. We recollect
case in point. A man, somewhere ont west,
got sent to Washington" He was totally un-
qualified, i'll every respect, for the position. A
friend at Washington once asked him
How the deuce did you manage to get
elected2"
e stole pig
"Hey What ?-How Is stealing pigs a
qualification for Congress ~

pers on t'other side took it mp, and ourn had to

called it an attempt to destroy the spotless
reputation of innocent man for party pur-
poses-the people got roused and got in"
AT the next election his opponent was elected.
His friend, meeting him one day, asked him
how it happened.
''Oh blast the fellerr' he replied, "he
smelt the rat, and got the start of me. He stole
a sheep :"
But 1t is not necessary to be absolutely SLAM
dered for vices. Congressional honors may oc-
caslonally be achieved by reputation for com
paratvely trihng defects, or even "A lack of ac-
