SAN FRANcIsco, June 14.-Ths dis
satisfied stockholders OF the Newark
mine met last night to hear the report of
the investigating committee. The report
was short but to the point. They found
that the company had judgment of
800, 900 hanging over it, which though
for moment is in allegiance, owing to
its appeal to higher court, is liable to
be affirmed and enforced. A note for
1874, 900 secured by mortgage on the
company's property ut Phoebe. which is
now held by the National Gold Note
Bank of this city, upon which suit has
been begun for judgment. The COM
pany's mill is running behind at the
rate OF nearly 81, 900 per month, besides
several other leaks and items of indebt-
edness not worth particularizing but in
the aggregate amounting to respectable
sums. The mine seems to have been
worked mainly in the interest OF j. W.
Pearson of Woodville notoriety. Among
other items in the report, was sale by
the trustees to Pearson, of twenty thou
sand shares of the company's stock for
1000 which was placed to the COM
pany's credit on the $4,000 note held
by Pearson, against the company for
money advanced. The company asserts
that at tho date Of this sale, the stock
was selling in the board at from 81 to
$3.50 per share. The meeting resolved
to push the matter to conclusion and
secure the cooperation of stockholders
as far as possible.
SAN FRANCIsCo, June l4.-The small
pox which week ago seemed dying out,
has apparently taken q new lease of life.
On Sunday four cases were reported,
Monday one, Tuesday two and this
morning seven, OF which five were in one
family. All exhibit mild type of the
disease except one Chinaman, who died
of the disease this morning. The new
cases are pretty we'll scattered around
town. No other deaths reported.
The dissatisfied Trojan stockholders
brought suit to-day against J. W. Pear
son and other directors to restrain them
from collecting the assessment now ad-
vertised as delinquent or from selling
delinquent stock, also for an accounting.
The Court granted temporary restrain
ing order.
Los ANGELES, June 13.-Ramon Tapia
Sotello was assassinated here late last
night under atrocious circumstances
After leaving the chamber of dead
friend in the rear of Negro alley, he
started to the street through dark cor.
ridor. Two brothers named Garcia
were with him. He had gone but q
short distance when two shots were fired
in quick succession and Sotello dropped
dead with bullet wound through the
right breast and another in the stomach.
One Of the Garcias made great outcry
and both " ere arrested. It now appears
that the shooting was done by Francisco
Lugo, an ex.oonvict who had quarrelled
with Sotello few days since. Mounted
officers have been securing the country
for Lugo all day, but up to late houl
this evening had not caught him.
