Tuesday night about 11:30 Ramon
Sotelo, a nephew of the Councilman of
that name, was assassinated in front

alley running from Negro Alley to
Alameda street. Juan and Francisco
Garcia and an Indian named Jesus,
were near the body when found and
were Immediately arrested. The MUIR
derer is supposed to be Francisco Lu-
go, who has not yet been arrested.
The alarm was first given by China
men and they say it was two hours be-
fore policeman appeared. The de-
ceased at the time of his assassination
was watching the dead body ofa friend
which lay in the house in front of
which he was found. He leaves q
mother and sister to mourn his un-
timely fate.
1t is becoming more evident that
our city is infested with dangerous
class, too proud to beg, too lazy to
work, but not too honest to steal. The
stage robbery the other night was un-
douotedly committed by Los Angeles
men and another robbery was perpe-
trated by some of the same class Of
scoundrels. Last Friday night as Mr.,
Gates, well known blacksmith at
Fifth and Spring streets, was on his
way home he was assaulted on Main
street near First, knocked down and
robbed. The robbery was done at
midnight and the victim laid until 3
o'clock unable to get up. He says
two men sprang out on him and one
of them struck him in the face with
club. His face and head still bear the
marks of the rough usage and he suf-
fered financially by the loss of q few
dollars in money. This incident
should warn every belated citizen to
go armed with cane or q revolver
and use Ii fearlesslY ON anY maraudar.
