A FOUL MURDER.
Anschlag Confesses to the Muir
der of the Hitchcocks
And Relates How He Com.
mltted the Deed.
He EXonerates Decker From
All Blame.
A Horrible Confession.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Jan. 2S.-Fred-
erlck Anschlag, the young German who
was arrested with another man named
Antoine Decker for the murder of Chas.
Il. Hitchcock and wife near Garden
Grove, made a full confession to-day.
Anschlag says he left Garden Grove at 5
o'clock Tuesday morning in an open
wagon, with Hitchcock and his wife, to
90 to Santa Anna. That he had previ-
ouslY concealed In the wagon a Ratchet
and when in an u~nfrequented spot about
three miles from Hitchcock's home he
suddenly grasped the Ratchet, arose in
the rear Of the victims and first attacked
Mr.. Hitchcock, killing him with a few
blows. lie then turned on the defenseless
wife and struck her down, killing her
with a single blow, which crushed the
side OF her face and head.
Anschlag says he tied the hands and
feet of each with ropes to keep then.
from swinging about with the motion of
the wagon. Driving nearly a mile further
away, he dug a hole and put the bodies
therein, covering the grave with straw.
Anschlag says he then went back to the
ranch house at Garden Grove, took off his
clothes and hid them and washed the
Ratchet. Then he went to Santa Anna
and got Decker and drove with HIM back
to Garden Grove, when they took posses
sion of the ranch and went quickly to
work. Anschlag says he murdered Hitch
cock to get the deed to the ranch and to
get the owners out of the way without
paving for the property.
He states positively that Decker had
nothing TO do with the crime and knew
nothing of it.
The funeral of Hitchcock and his wife
took place at Garden Grove to-day and
was attended BY a great number OF people.
The Hitchcock were among the leading
people of the community.

WHAT ARTHUR SAYS.

CHICAGO, March 16.-When questioned
regarding the strike on the Atchison sys
tenn Chief Engineer Arthur said to a re-
porter: 1T is altogether beyond my
power to give you any explanation of
this action. | don't understand it. The
men have not notified me, and | am com
pletely in the dark"
| l-I"Are you not ordinarily informed of
such thingsy'
always. Yes, sir, and this is what
makes the matter still more unintelligible.
If the company has not broken its agree
ment made with the men they have done
wrong and must suffer the consequence
"DOn't you consider this action as
stranger
at is nothing less than open rebellion,
for ii looks much as if either the men
were tired of the grand officers advice or
will fully disregard their duties to the laws
and the constitution"
'Have the men ever acted independently
of you and Mr.. SARGENT"
'Never; and never have they acted III
tho past as they are acting in the present
troubles"
Following is copy of message sent
to Mr.. Conroe, chairman of the Atchison
grievance committe, by Chief Arthur, as
printed here:
"To /. Conroe, Chairman etc.-It is re-
ported here that you have ordered the
men to quit work. Revoke 1t. Your
grievance can be settled here with Mr..
Smith. Come to Chicago by the first
| train.
Signed. up. NJ. ARTHUR"

the trouble:
81 never was more sUrprifed in my life,
and cannot understand why the men
should give us such black eye. Some
time ago the engineers got together, made
demand on the company and received
nearly all they wanted They went back
apparently satisfied. What their griev,
ance is now Is beyond my comprehen-
| sion"
"Have you been handling 80" freight
mo, sir; none at all"
Other officers here we're equally sur
prised.
AS TO THE MISSOURI PACIFIC.
| KANSAS CITY, March 16.-Engineers on
the Missouri Pacific at this point are very
uneasy, and delegation of them to-day
visited the rooms of the grievance COM
mittee and asked for orders to strike.
This was not granted, but the infer
ence drawn from the conversation
with the committee was that
the men on the Missouri Pa
cifc would go out to morrow and the
Union Pacific would 60 out Sunday. The
committee say positively that there can
be no compromise in this matter; that
not road will be run until the men are
reipstated on the 60
The woman who went out on No. 3 TO-
day as fireman was Hattie Reed, formerly
of Kewaunee, Ill. During the strike of
1887 she acted as fireman for her husband
from Galesburg to Burlington. Engineers
say that Wharton is first-class engineer
and had promised them that he would not
go out Ii is understood he was urged to
this act by his wife.

A FEMALE FIREMAN.

KANSAS CRY, March lG-At ll:2G Ben
johnson, foreman of the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe round house at
Argentine, backed an engine to the Union
depot and coupled on to train No. 3
which is the through California express.
Ben Wharton, who has been an engineer
on the Santa Fe for ten years, mounted
the engine. He is not Brotherhood
man, having been expelled from the
organization during the great strike
of 1887. He has since applied for admis
sion but has been rejected. Shortly after
Wharton had donned his overalls a sen
sation was created in the crowd by the
appearance of his wife, who pushed her
way through to the engine and was
assisted to seat by her husband. She
declared her intention of acting as fire
man on the trip and covered her clothing
with rubber ulster, while tireman's
cap sat jauntily on her black hair.
Promptly in response to the conductors
signal, at 11:a6, the train started and pro
ceeded slowly on its way. Not cheer or
sound of any kind greeted it as it passed
along, and it could have been mistaken
for funeral train. Every car was
packed with passengers, as the train
carried those who had tickets for No.
which was due to leave at 11;15. Just
before the train started paper was
handed to Wharton, offering to pay HIM
double wages and all expenses in the
city.

STRIKE ON THE SANTA FE.

KANSAS Cry, Mo-, March lG (NOon)-
The strike situation on the Santa Fe road
is unchanged this morning. Not wheel
is turning, except few switch engines.
The engineers and liremen persist in say
ing they have received no orders to strike.
They are simply "tired," and want to rest.
No trains have been moved in any di-
rection. Officials refuse to receive freight
of any kind. The Union depot presents a
regular Castle Garden appearance, as
hundreds of immigrants have been
brought In, whose destination was some
where on the line of the Santa Fe.
Two hundred OF them are crowded
into the immigrant room. All trains on

will be no trouble on the Missouri Pacific

THE TIE UP COMPLETE.

DINvER, March 1.-The tie up Of the
Santa Fe trains at this point is complete,
not a single train having left here since
last night, and the only one reported as
arriving is the Kansas City express. The
engineers when called to 60 on duty this
morning reported that they were tired
and wanted to LAY off," and others
said that they were sick" and
unable to go out. The hostlers made
up "thunde rbolt" scheduled to leave
here for the east at 100 O'Clock, and
pulled the train down in front of the
union depot, but, as Engineer Price had
not reported, the engine was ordered back
to the round house without any attempt
being made by the company to send the
train out
At the perintendent's Office it was
stated other roads entering here have NOT
yet refused to receive from them through
freight consigned to eastern p )ints, but a
number of cars which were loaded here late
yesterday afternoon for Missouri river
points are being unloaded and transferred
to the Union Pacific cars and will go out
over that line tonight. City ticket
agents here have received instructions
from Topeka to sell no through tickets, and
all applicants at the Santa Fe Office are
directed to the Missouri Pacific, or Union
Pacific. The com pany claims they
have no information as 70 the
reason for the men going oat or what
their grievances are, while the Brother
hood claim that the strike resulted from
the company attempting to haul BurllnS
ton cars in direct violation of their agree
ment not to do so. A Brotherhood engi-
neer, in conversation with an Associated
Press reporter this afternoon, said he
positively knew that unless the trouble
on the Burlington was speedily settled,
that every Brothe hood engineer and
fireman running west of Chicago would
leave their engines inside of ten days

ALL ALONG THE LINES.

KANSAS Cry, March l6.-Reports from
division superintendent on the Santa Fe
system say that the men have gone out all
along the line, and business is practically
suspended, except passenger trains, which
are now on the road and will not be
stopped until they reach the end of the
line. There are about 700 engineers and
700 fremen employed on the Santa Fe
system, and $500 trainmen employed by
them, making 1900 men thrown directly
out of employment. General Man
ager Goddard says the amount
of perishable freight on the
line between California and Chicago is
larger than usual, amounting to about
eighty-tive carloadl, nearly all of which
is stock and fruit. II cannot be moved,
and If the strike continues any length of
time the company will be liable for the
whole amo1nt. In addition to this there
are over LOO carloads of merchandise
tied up on the various divisions.
A union meeting of engineers and fire
men was held last night. Nearly all the
engInemen of the eastern division of the
Santa Fe were present. The following
statement of the situation was authorized
to be published
"The question of the right to stop was
fully considered, and for the present
it was unanimously agreed that as far as
we are concerned, the Santa Fe manage
ment having agreed that they would not
handle any q. freight, the engineers and
tiremen knowing full well the Santa Fe
has violated this agreement every day for
the past week-there is nothing left for
US to do but to quit hauling any cars until
this trouble is settled. This is question
of life and death with the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers and Firemen and
they had been fully advised that the
management of different connecting lines
with the 20" are working in
an underhand manner to defeat
them and they think, in justice to them
selves, now, and the travelling public here
after it is better that this matter be
brought to a settlement at once, and have
used this, their last resort, to bring about
an equitable settlement. They also
desire to state to the people of Topeka
that the management OF the Santa Fe had
been fully warned and knew what was
going to happen more than a week ago
instead of thirty minutes, As was stated IN
last evenings papers.
