SANTA ANA, September 6th-Morales is
still at large, and his whereabouts remains
as great q mystery as ever. The officers
from Santa Ana returned late this morning,
after an all-night watch, looking worse for
wear. For some weeks it has been thought
by some few that Morales has been hiding
in upper Santa Ana district, about fifteen
miles northeast of Santa Ana.
Upon receipt of information from guards
stationed IN upper Santa Ana, the officers
once more thought their man was cornered
and proceeded to effect his capture. A
thorough search through several mountsin
canyons was made.
Juan RIM, a Mexican who was before
the Orange county Court about ten days
ago for grand larceny and who is supposed

and plans, was frightened by the officers
into naming several places where he
thought Morales was.

Wreck of the British Ship Garston on
Starbuck Island.

wreck OF the BFltlsh ship Garston on
Starbuck Island.
SAN FRANCISCO, September 6th-By the
arrival of the Australia from Honolulu to-
day, it is learned that her British Msies-
ty's ship Espiegle returned to Honolulu
August 9th, from cruise of about six
weeks. She arrived at the Humphrey
Group at P. NJ. on July 9th and placed it
under British protection.
On Starbuck Island the crew of the Es-
piegle found the chief mate and nineteen
men of the crew of the British ship Cars
ION, which was wrecked there about ten
days before, while on voyage from Sidney,
n. S. W., and bound to San Francisco.
The Captain of the Gsrston, with the Sec
ond and third mates and six of the crew,
had left in boat in search of more popu-
lous or better known islands previous to
the arrival of the Espiegle, and had not
been heard from since.
During the voyage of the Garston, that
vessel sighted land on July 9th, at 10 P, NJ,
and kept close in shore, finally striking
bottom on the east side of StarbuCk Island.
Three boats were then lowered. viz, life
boat, gig, and a whale boat, into which the
men embarked and waited by the vessel
until morning, in hopes of saving more of
their clothes and vauables. When the
morning dawned, however, the surf was

and they landed on the island in safety
and good order. The vessel aherward be-
came total wreck, and the chief mate and
nineteen sailors came on to Honolulu by
the Espiegle.
The GaTston, Captain Pye, was ,S12 tons
register, owned in Liverpool, England, and
left Sydney, n. 5. W., On June 20th last,
bound to San Francisco. The vessel sailed
the usual easterly course to the north cape
of New Zealand; but at this point of the
voyage, owing TO easterly winds, s north
erly course was steered to the Harvey
group. On July 18th, about 10 P. NJ, the
ship grounded on reef off Starbuek Island.
The Captain endeavored TO get the ship
into deep water, but bis efforts were fruit
less. The surf was very heavy and the
! vessel reeled about so that it was difficult
! for the men TO move about and fears were
entertained that she would cant over. The
Captain then gave orders to abandon the
| ship.
No landing on the island could be effected
| and after remaining near the ship for two
| days the boats steered due south. During
| this time the gig, with Captain Pye, second
and third officers, sail-maker and i've
| sailors became lost to the others. Chief
| Mate Davis and his men sighted Humph-
rey's Island ten days after the wreck and
remained there until rescued by the
Espieglo. They were very kindly treated
by the natives and missionary named

examination of the accounts was made, and
they were found to be in very bad state.
President Perkins said Mr.. Dana had
been IN the employ of the company from
boyhood and they had not had occasion to
suspect him. The company has been GO
ing along successfully for about fifty years
and its prosperity had been upretarded
When asked if he could give any jdea of
the present liabilities or condition Of the
company, Perkins replied: mo, we have
not been able to approach anything liEe a
definite view of the results, but we know
they must be bad judging by Dana's ac-
counts that we have examined thus far"
Mr.. Moorefeld Story, who had been
placed in charge, said a petition in insol-
YenCy would be filed tomorrow.
Experts were put TO work on the books
to-day and have already discovered deficit
which apparently has been going on sys-
tematically for a number of years
Dana's salary varied from Sc, ,O0e to S, 600
per year. He has an elegant residence in
Brookline, but gentleman who is well
acquainted with him says he has no bad
habits and there were no entangling alli-
ances.
He was seen in New York City Wednes-
day afternoon. The expert says the total
Liabilities of the company will exceed
500, but he hoped it would not reach
81 eco 600.
Just before he left Dana raised $4,000 or
more. 1t vas learned this evening that the
case had been placed in the hands of the
police, and that tomorrow criminal
prosecution would be commenced against
Dana on charge of embezzlement 1t is
thought there are sufficient grounds on
which TO secure his extradition should be
go to Canada, as is generally supposed he
has gone.
Dana was deacon in Harvard Congre-
gational Church, Brookline, and a teacher
in the Sunday-school. He has a wife and
five children. His family deny all knowl-
edge of his whereabouts.
The factory at East Douglas will be shut

money in unsuccessful speculations.

An Aged Reprobate Who Has the In
stincts of Monster.
SANTA Rosa, September 6th.-Fix and
Mary Fix, his wife residents of Sebasto
pool, were arraigned for trial to day before
Judge Brian for cruelty to their adopted
child, Mary Sterling.
Mary is only 8 years old, and formerly
lived with her parents, now dead, at
Healdsburg. The Sterlings were splendid
people and at their death Mary fell to Fix.
The maltreatment of the child extended
over period of seven months, from De-
cember to July, when the child was dis
covered to be in bad condition from mis-
treatment, starvation and abuse.
Her condition was noticed by the neigh
bors and she was taken to the County Hos
pital for treatment.
County Physician Shearer testified that
when she was brought there she was in an
emaciated condition and presented pitia-
bic sight, Her feet were lacerated and her
body covered with sores, the result of in
human and cruel treatment. A long list
of witnesses, neighboTs of the Fix family,
testified as to the cruel treatment of the
child.
No evidence in rebuttal was offered bv
Fix. 1t was shown that the girl had car
ried wood on cold, windy DAYS, clad in
nothing but q coarse sack with holes cut
in it for arms and neck. She had also been
seen with nothing but shirt on, and as a
punishment had been forced to stand in
water and sleep in barrel at night.
Marks on her neck and face showed that
she had been bound by ropes to post for
hours at time.
The neighbors had heard her beseeching
Mrs. Fix not TO punish her. She had also
been imprisoned in dark room for a week
at time with scarcely enough to eat to
keep her body and soul together.
While this testimony was being taken
several times tears were noticed starting in
the eyes of the jurors.
Deep interest is taken in the case and
the Courtroom was crowded when the
jury returned verdict of guilty as charged
in the complaint The jury was out only
ten minutes.
Fix and his wife were not disturbed al
the verdict. The adopted child has a lot
in Healdsburg, and it is thought that Fix
was eudeayoring to kill the girl by inches
to get possession of the property.
Fix is a farmer nearly 20 years of age
Sebastopol and vicinity is jubilant over the
verdict. He little looks ike man with
| the instincts of monster.

early hour this morning Timothy Stocking,
faro dealer in the Arcade gambling hall,

vict of Joliet, Ill
The story leading up to the murder is
something of a romance. Miss Williams,
beautiful young girl, came to Chicago

mady in love. The lady did not return his
affections, and soon after met and married

Murphy took to drink, and couple of
months after the wedding was caught at
tempting to burglarize residence and SEN
fenced 10 five years imprisonment.
Murphy swore he would kill both Stock
ing and his wife as soon as be could gain
liberty. After his release he followed the
couple over the country, finally locating
them at Denver.
He came here couple of months ago.
Meeting Mrs. Stocking upon the street he
nearly frightened her to death by threats of
violence against herself and husband.
Stocking, however, appeared TO pay little

them whenever his wife spoke about the
matter. The police were notified of the
state OF affairs, and had repeatedly driven
Murphy from Stockings premises, where
he had been sulking around at all hours
of the night
This morning Stocking was awakened by
some one knocking at the front door, and
on going to the entrance he asked who was
there, and being informed that it was Billy
Murphy, Stocking looked between the
blinds and saw the man with huge knife
in his hand: Stocking picked up shotgun
and fired the contents of the barrel into
Murphy's face and neck, literally tearing
them to pieces. Murphy staggered out of
the gate and fell upon the walk corpse.
Stocking was arrested and locked up at
the Central station
Deceased has father living on Blue
Island avenue, Chicago, and cousin and
