SAN BUENAvENTURA, March 80.
The prisoners arrested on charge
of being implicated in the More
murder arrived in town about l p.
NJ. and a large crowd gathered
around the Court House to receive
them. A good deal of excitement
was manifested, some being for and
some against the prisoners. An
examination will be held before a
Justice as soon as the prisoners Sc
cure counsel, probably on Monday.
II. b. Hall, the detective who
worked up the case, is the one who
so successfully followed the Chico
murderers to conviction. He thinks
he has q good case, at least against
some of the prisoners.
The FAN IN Lead.
EUREKA, New, March 29.-The
Sentinel discusses the great decline
in lead as being u serious blow to
this section. Until lately it has
betrayed the expenses of mining
and smelling, leaving the gold aud
silver contained In the ores rs a
profit. AT present prices, lead
does not pay its way to
market and thus very consider
able portion of the gold and silver
yielded must be drawn upon to
meet expenses. One of the most
serious results of this is, probably,
the reduction to two dollars of
Eureka Consolidated dividend. 1t
seems the company must either
build more furnaces or curtail its
dividend. Such is the opinion in
well Informed mining circles here.

SAN BUENAvENTURA, March 90.
1t will be remembered that, on the
24th day of March of last year, at
about two O'Clock in the morning,
L. Wallace More, Il large land ow n
er on the Sespe in this county, was
brutally murdered. The assassins
set fire to his barn, and, by the
light of the flames, when More
rushed out to save his property, he
was fired upon aud finally, after
running short distance, fell
dead with two bullets in his throat,
one in the bowels and seven
in his brain. The latter shots were
fired, of course, after he fell. The
usual Coroner'sfnquest only devel-
oped the fact that four men, all
masked and dressed alike actually
took hand in the bloody work
but no clue to their identity could
be had. One McCaft was arrested
and held to answer but the evil
dence failed to satisfy the Grand
Jury that he should be indicted.
A strong suspicion always remained
that some of the settlers OH the
Sespe ranch with whom Mr.. More
was always engaged in lawsuits
were the guilty parties, the sup
posed immediate cause of the kill
ing being an attempt of More to
control the water and prevent the
settlers from irrigating their crops.
A detective from San Francisco and
another from Los Angeles were EN-.
ployed to trace out the perpetrators
of the crime, but, up to within a
day or two, no public results fol.
lowed. On Thursday evening

Rich Mems Sons.

The president of one of our largest
banks said, day or two since, that a
rich mans son had just left his place,
and he was the last man of the kind he
should ever employ. The man was
faithful, honest and filled intelligently
and well all the duties required of him;
but just as he had become accustomed to
his work he found out it was too con-
fining, and raw clerk had to be put in
his place. A bad outlook for rich young
men, but it is the old story repeated for
thousandth time. If rich mems sons
will not endure the drudgery by which
nearly all their fathers secured money
and position, they must take a secondary
place In the next generation, and oftener
they drop out of sight amid the idle,
worthless herd, if, indeed, they escape
an association with loafers and crimin-
ais. What say the labor reformers to
facts like these, for facts they are, with
out question ? Nearly every man in
any leading position in the community
began life poor. Let the sons of rich
men take warning, and go to work
honestly and faithfully every day, if
they hope to fill the positions held by
their fathers Troy Budget.

Costly Experience In Travelling.


The Indianapolis Ne,Os says A prom
inent wholesale merchant in this city
was made the victim of most daring
robbery while returning from recent
trip to New York City. One day as he
was standing in the hotel Office he was
approached by well-dressed gentleman,
who addressed him by name and intro
duced himself as recently of Indian
apolis.
He led the gentleman to suppose that
he was member of his church and had
frequently met him, although he had
never before had the honor of his ac-
quaintance. Glad to meet anybody
from home under any circumstances, he
was quite ready to acknowledge that he
had often seen the gentleman and the
pleasure was mutual.
Over an hour was spent in chatting
about indianapolis, after which the re-
mainder of the evening was passed in
fashionable theatre. During the con-
versation he einadvertantly stated thathe
would take about $4,000 in drafts to
indianapolis, and that he would start on
the next Friday evening. Between that
night and the next Friday he saw no
more of his new acquaintance and had
almost forgotten the affair. On Friday,
evening, however, he was met at the
depot by Mr.. johnson and a handsome,
elegantly dressed lady whom he intro
duced as Mrs. Johnson.
He would be delighted and proud if
his friend would take charge of his
wife until they arrived in Cleveland,
where she would visit some relatives
The merchant was simply charmed
with the prospect, and after short
adieu Mrs. johnson was left in his COM
pany. The lady proved equally as en-
tertaining as her husband, and before
they retired she had so improved her
time as to receive the confidence of the
Indiana traveller, and he reiterated to
her the statement made TO her husband
regarding the wealth he was carrying
home.
During the evening she asked him if
he was sound sleeper, and whether he
thought he would wake up if any acci-
dent were to happen the train. He
thought he would be able to sleep until
morning, no matter what happened
They had adjoining berths, both lower
ones. After retiring he took the pre-
caution to place his watch and money
under his pillow, wherein the innocency
of his heart, he fondly imagined that it
would be safe. He awoke in Buffalo
the next morning, at 8 o'clock, to find
his pocketbook and the fair female both
gone.
She got off at Rochester in answer to
a telegram from her husband, and not
wishing to disturb her quiet companion
she kindly let him sleep on: so the con-
ductor told him in the morning. The
authorities at Rochester were put on the
track of the lady, and she was arrested
in low house, with all the money in
her possession. Her pseudo-husband
was not in the city with her, and thor
ough search in New York failed to dis
cover his whereabouts. Not courting
that peculiar kind of fame that he would
necessarily receive in prosecution, the
female was allowed to depart, and the
gentleman returned to his store wiser
and more cautious man.

An Americans Fight for Life.


THE Santiago EI Ferroca1rH in q re-
Il cent issue says: Joseph Brewer,
an American citizen, resided for several
years with his family on the productive
island of La Mocha (at the mouth of
the Tirual river), which he had rented
from the Chilian government This
island is situated in lat. $50 90, Ion. 80
%, and Mr.. Brewer was rapidly trans
forming it into valuable and produc-
tive farm. Several varieties of wood,
oils and fish were abundant, and were
exported and sold not only in Chill, but
throughout the South American coun-
tries. Two or three vessels were en-
ployed constantly by Mr.. Brow er to car
ry on his business. He had already i'm
ported from the United States steam en-
gines, saw mills, agricultural imple-
ments and numerous other ele ments of
industry to cultivate the land.
The island of La Mocha, which before
Mr. Brower's arrival was wild forest
and filled with wild beasts, was con-
verted, through Mr.. Brower's energy,
into an attractive garden. Mr.. Brewer
was married to very handsome and ac-
complished American lady and was the
father of five children.
Several months ago he went to Chloe
and engaged over one hundred natives
to work as laborers on his hacienda,-
The article of diet given to laborers
throughout the republic of Chill is a
species of beans which is very nutri-
tious and is grown in abundance in the
country.
This was the diet offered by Mr.. B.
to his men, but the latter were not
pleased with it and demanded potatoes
instead. Mr.. Brewer told them he had
none, and was of course unable to ac
commodate them.
The mob of native barbarians then
became violent and began furious
attack upon Mr.. Brewer and his de-
fenceless family. He bravely fought for
some time, defending the lives of his
dear ones, but at last, after killing thir-
teen of his assailants, he fell a victim.
with his family, to the unjust rage of
his assassins. They then plundered the
house and carried off every valuable ar
ticle they found on the island. Selling
one of Mr.. Brower's vessels, they en-
barked and sailed for parts unknown.
The history of Mr.. Brewer fully shows
that he was man of energy and enter
prise. He was universally loved and
respected in Chilli, and many were in
debted to him for his generosity and
good heart. Mr.. Brewer had accumula-
ted fortune of $100,0 when he re-
turned to his native country the United
States, but there he soon lost every dol
lar he had earned in Chill. But this
failure did not discourage him, and, after
marrying, he concluded to return to
Chill, the home Of his former happiness
and success and went to work as an en-
gineer on the railroad between Chillian
and Talcahuano, when Mr.. John Slater.
the American railway builder, was at
the time constructing in Chill. Mr..
Brewer succeeded well, and having ac-
cumulated another fortune, entered into
partnership with Mr. Alemputer and
rented the island of La Mocha from the
Chilian government. Here, again, he
was Increasing his fortune, but in the
midst OF his happiness and success has
been murdered in cold blood, together
with lovely wife and innocent chill
dren.
