COTTON AND MS GUILTY PAR
AMOUR.


Tho Reno Crescent informs Ms that
Cotton, the man charged with the muir
der of Norton in Santa Barbara county
California, was arrested yesterday by
Deputy Sheriff Allen and Louis Dean.
at Wadsworth. Cotton is now in
Jail and in irons. The wife and children
of the murdered man were arrested ut
the same time with Cotton, and with
him are being held until the arrival of
the Sheriff of Santa Barbara county.
Mrs. Norton has made full statement
of the facts in the case. SO far rs she
knows them or has learned them from
her paramour. Cotton, from all reports,
is a desperate of the worst character.
and connected with a band of robbers
and murderers in California. many of
whose depredations have been laid at
the door of Vasquez's late band. 1t will
be remembered that a mysterious muir
der occurred in San Francisco quite re-
Gently. A woman was found strangled
to death in the outskirts OF thr city.
Mrs. Norton says that this woman was
the divorced wife Cotton, and that the
killing was done at his instigation. The
woman, as We are informed by Mr..
Dean. talks freely, claims to have acted
under compulsion. and to have been III
mortal fear of Cotton, who had assured
her that she was under constant survell-
lance, and that any attempt to expose
him or escape would result in her GER

SSO0-S50O by the Governor of CalIfor
mia. $500 by the Sheriff of Santa Barha-
IA county, and 500 by the sister of the
murdered man. Mrs. Norton says that
other rewards have been advertised for
his arrest on other charges. We have
not visited either Cotton or the woman.
and cannot give pen picture of either
of them.
On this same subject the Journal says:
Mrs. Norton's version of the affair Is
that on the morning of the 9TH of April.

stable, and shortly after she heard a shot.
She saws Cotton came back and told her
the deed was done with u shot gum load
ed with slugs. and that Norton's head
was so shattered that when his body vas
recovered it would be impossible to tell
how the deed was done. Cotton she
claims. with whom it seems she had been
on most intimate terms. told her he did
not do the deed, but that his partners
had, of whom he had four. She says
under threats OF her own life. etc. she
was compelled to help carry out the rest
of the programme, which is substantially
the same as related above. She denies
having had ANYTHING to do with the muir
der herself. The ~hole case is one of

Norton. to say the least, is very weak
woman. and by her weakness has

the prettiest children imaginable.

WEAR q well-meaning but imperfectly

of the party in San Francisco have been
planning to run the Independent State
Convention in their own interest and the
Col which is the morning supplement to
the Evening Bulletin, which is the organ

INSCRIPTIONS schemers. The fact is,
indeed, that there is a schism in the

held in Sacramento, to nominate a
State ticket which will suit them. The
public have had enough of this kind Of
management in times past to disgust
them. Candidates who try to obtain
nomination in this way are not the
proper psrsans to elect to important
Offices. We learn further that 1t Is
stated on the street that the Calaveras-
Spring Valley combination have prom
ised two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars to certain individuals if they can
engineer the nomination Of the Indepen-
dent party so as to carry the object TO a
successful termination. There are per-
sons who believe that efforts are being
made in the direction indicated, but a
hint at what is being attempted We
doubt not will be enough to put the
gentlemen who have been selected as
