OCANA'S PERIL.
Being Tried for the Murder OF n
Barkeeper.

The trial of s. Ocaiia, for murder, was
commenced yesterday in Judge Cheney a
court. During an alteration at the
Electric Light Exchange, corner of Vir-
gin and Upper Main streets, on the 25th
of April, the barkeeper. joe Eldridge,
was cut in the head. He died in the
county hospital on the I'd of May, OF
erysipelas, and coroner's jury returned
an open verdict against some person to
them unknown Policeman Arguello
found Ocana, who was suspected OF do
ing the cutting, asleep in a mustard
field, and to him the prisoner admitted
that he had done it because Eldridge
used him badly and had attacked him
with a pistol. The prisoner was taken
to the county jail where he has ever
since remained.
AT the trial yesterday L. Simmons tes-
titled that he knew both the deceased
and the defendant. On the Sunday of
the fight, between and 8 o'clock, when
the witness came into the Electric Light
Exchange saloon, they were both quar-
reling over the price of some glasses OF
beer. Eldridge pulled q pistol, but the
chamber fell out. Some one said:
"Look out, he has got knife, REFER
ing to Ocaiia. Eldridge then picked up
a bottle and threw it at the defendant,
who then ierlked up his left arm and fol.
lowed Eldridge behind the counter,
where he struck him. Eldridge, stabbed
in the temple, fell, and Ocaiia departed,
rubbing his head which was bleeding.
The witness, in cross examination adj
mitted that Jose Maria Young had Of
fered him $lOO not to testify and leave
the city, but he added that this offer
had not Influenced his testimony III any
way.
The testimony introduced by the de.
fense shows great provocation, and at.
tempts to establish self-defense. When
the court adjourned all the witnesses
for Ocana were not yet examined. The
case will be resumed at 10 o'clock to-

THE PADDOCK GAME.
Two Confidence Operators Come
To Grief by 1t.


Two we'll dressed swindlers tried the
paddock game on raw looking speci-
men of Britisher on Monday, but the
gentleman. from "Hengland," being
sharper than they had given him credit
for, called the turn Unexpectedly ana
they got arrested. The two young OPP
orators gave the names OF Frank Har'
and Frank Ryan, and worked the track
ct" thuswise: One of them became ac'
quainted with some one who seemed 10
make up in loose cash what he lacked
in solid brain, and steered him upagalnst
his partner. This latter one pretended
to be an agent for the kingman LOCK
COMPANY, of Bloomington, Ill. In the
course of convers alton he would pull
out Ii; tie dog paddock, through the Sc
cret of which baby could penetrate u
a moment. ana { der a rewa ii 1t the
gull onened it. 1nis, of course, won i
follow very naturally after an instInts
trial. and then the swindler would give
an order for $50 rewayl to be paid by
the Kingrnan Lock Company to the sue
cessful mau. After q Ii, le while large
paddock would be produced, and the So
called agent would WAGER $500 that the
yiclim-t n It.was-to- could not open
that In order to show that he meant
business he would pull out big
bundle of greenbacAs and offer
to make The third man, VINO
was his partner, though he had come
with the man VINO WAS to be swindled,
stakeholder. This was the little game
played on the Englishman, but he
smelled dozen rats, and protesting
tn t he had not enough coin with him,
but would so aud get it, made up an ap-
pointment with the two and went to
hunt policeman. The swindlers were
not on hanl on Monday, but yesterday
at o'clock they were found at Thomp-
sons billiard hall, on First street, by
Officer Weed, who was disguised as a
wild countryman, wearing a duster sew
en- sizes too large. When he placed the
men under arrest they ttied to escape by
the back door, but finally quailed under
his eagle eye and allowed themselves to
be handcuiied, though not without pro-
test. They threw away two packages
and a paddock, but Weed got them.
Their lamentations about their disgrace
in being dragged through the street soft
ened Weeds heart, and he procured
hack, which they promised to Pay for.
The two packages contained a number
of advertising greenbacks, wrapped in a
piece of paper, the back of which repre-,
sents genuine, though cancelled, $1,000
note. These notes are only printed on
one side, from real plates and have
heavy black line running across them
The swindlers did not have cent OF
money upon them, Weed was already
bewailing his bad luck in having to foo,
the hack bill, but he had the good fortune
to find genuine 81 bill amongst the lot
OF spurious ones. The confidence men
were locked up and the District Attor-
ney is looking up law that will reach
them.
