ABSOLUTELY PURE
KILLED A MAN.

A Mysterious Murder Aboard a Steamer
at San Diego.
SAN DIEGO, Dec. 19.-J. A. Mckenzie,
steward of the steamer Carlos Pacheco,
which runs between San Diego and En-
senada, is under arrest for killing G.
Murrillo, prominent citizen of En-
senada. The steamer arrived this even
ing, and as she was nearing the wharf
in San Diego harbor Mckenzie came
running up to Captain Nelson and said ::
Put me under arrest. l have killed a
man." Further than that Mckenzie
refuses to talk. Much mystery
surrounds the case. Murrillo was
passenger, and with some of
the others had come up on deck.
1t appears, however, that at the last
moment he returned to the state-room
for his valise, and was shot there, the
only signs of struggle being over
turned chairs and broken glass or two.
He was shot in the neck, the bullet
ranging downward. 1t showed that he
must have been shot from above. Nc
Kenzie has three large cuts in his cloth
ing. evidently made by a sharp knife,
but is unhurt. No knife was found on
him, nor on his victim. Murrillo was
prominent citizen of Lower California,
where he was largely interested in min
ing and ranch property. He is given
good character by Governor Torres, who
is here now.

TWO DECISIONS.
Judge Smith Disposes of Two Cases
on Appeal.

Judge Smith Disposes of Two Cases
on Appeal.
Judge Smith yesterday rendered his
decision in the case OF The People vs.
]. O. Lotspeich, which was taken to the
superior court on appeal from the find
ing of the justice before whom the de-
fendant was tried for misdemeanor.
Lotspeich was arrested for an alleged
violation of a section of the penal code,
which reads as follows "Every person
who willfully breaks, digs up, or Injuries
any pipe or main for conducting gas or
water, or any works erected for supply
ing buildings with gas or water, or any
appurtenances therein connected, is
guilty of a misdemeanor."
The arrest grew out of trouble be-
tween the Citizens aWter company and
its consumers in regard to rates. The
company placed meter on the premises
OF Miles Dodd, jr., and Dodd refused to
pay the meter rates and rendered to the
company the rates generally paid in
that neighborhood. The company re-
fused to accept the sum and shut off the
water from Dodd's premises. He turned
it on, when Lotspeich by order of the
company, disconnected the water pipe
at the main, thus cutting off the water
supply. Judgment was rendered against
the defendant.
Judge Smith holds that the proof does
not show criminal offence. I'm fact"
he says, sit lacks every element of
crime" Again he says in his decision,
"malice must be shown"
The judgment of the lower court was
reversed and the defendant discharged.
A decision was also rendered in the
case of The People vs.. HI. Cleary. The
defendant was convicted OF violating
the Sunday ordinance. The court sus-
tanned the justice and dismissed the
defendants appeal.
In rendering his decision Judge Smith
said:
at is urged with great earnestness
that the proof is sufficient to support
the judgment, but the rule is we'll set
tied that where the evidence is conflict
ing and there is any evidence to sup
port the verdict, the appellate court will
not disturb the same. 1t is
urged that the little room in which the
took place was no part of the
saloon or drinking place. 1t appears
from the evidence that the place where
the liquor was sold and drank was
little room partitioned off from the main
bar room, etc.
''If the law could be evaded by so
a method as this it would be
OF no practical value. 1t is mere shift
or device, and has not even the merit OF
being ingenious.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-20

coins remarks about him were the one ex.
ception. When the Unionists of Maryland
asked that General Robert Schenck be sus-
tanned and Colonel Piatt, as he then was,
be given command in their state, Lincoln
replied:
"Schenck and Piatt are good fellows, and
If there were any rotten apples in the bar
rel they'd be pretty sure to hook 'em out
But they run their machine on too high a
level for me. They never could understand
that was boss"
1t was not easy for Dom Piatt to under
stand that anybody was boss over him, and
this seemed Il family trait. Descended ON
one side from Huguenots, in whom resist
ance to arbitrary power had become or
ganic, and on the other from heroes of the
American Revolution, the family had a gen.
GRAFTON or two of frontier training and
then an era of rude freedom in Kentucky,
and all the hereditary traits thus acquired
seemed to come out in Dom and his broth
er, Jacob W. The latter made such fierce
fight against the volunteer fire department
in Cincinnati that he was mobbed and
burned in effigy before his own door.
Dom was born in that city, and through
out his life-as a diplomat in Paris, sol
dier in the Union army, correspondent
and journalist in Washington or else
where-he remained very much an Ohio
man. His first wife, Louise Kirby, was
also an author; she died young and he
married her sister. He was for twenty
years the stormy petreP' of American
literature and politics, yet was SO well
preserved physically that until quite re-
Gently he seemed middle aged man, and
his many readers when his death was an
nounced heard with surprise that he was
sevenGy-two.

CALIFORNIA AT THE FAIR.
The Citrus Exhibit VIII Be the Promi.
nent Feature.


SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 19.-The state
worlds fair commission this afternoon
received the report of Secretary T. H.
Thompson. who has just returned from
Chicago, where he has been looking after
the interests of the California exhibit.
He found that California is as far ad-
vanced in the preparation OF its exhibit
as any state. No positive information
could be obtained in regard to the space.
None will be allotted before next July.
The privilege of conducting a cafe in
the horticultural building, where
light meals and California wines may be
served, will probably be granted to
California. The request of Southern
California for five acres for district
display OF citrus fruits and flowers, will
probably be granted. Some counties
of California are pressing the board for
space allotments, but it will be impossi-
BILE to make any specifications until it is
ascertained what the state is to have,
and how much will be assigned for de.
partment exhibits. Southern California
will get half the space set aside for
display of semi-tropical products of the
state. That much is assured by the
state board.

ANOTHER GAME.
The Local Nine Smash Out Another
Victory.

The Los Angeles club won a creditable
victory over the Sacramentos yesterday
afternoon, before small crowd. Par
rott, the famous Portland pitcher, now
with Sacramento, failed to hold the
home men down, and some of the boys
fattened up their batting averages al
his expense. Huston failed to distin-
guish himself at third. Flaherty again
made the circuit on a hit over the fence.
Outside OF Lohmann's muff of fly and
Fogarty's wild throw the Los Angeles
team did splendid work in the field and
at the bat.
The game today will wind up the
series with Sacramento, and the Los An
geles team will make a great effort to
win, as that will make three games in
all. Cobb will pitch for the home team,
and with good support this means al
most certain victory. If Britain arrives
he will make his first appearance here
since last winter.

THE FOOTBALL CHASERS.
The Universities Defeat the ST. Vim
cent College Team.


An interesting game of football was
played yesterday afternoon between the
st. Vincent college team and the Uni
versity eleven at the University grounds.
The Universities won the game by a
score OF 8 to 4. As usual. the Universi-
ties turned up lighter than than their
opponents. Charles Lloyd refereed the
game and P. Thomson was the umpire.
The first half was close, although after
good deal of playing near their oppon-
ent's goal the Universities made touch
down by one of McCoombs beautiful
runs. The try-at-goal failed, making
the score at the end of the first half 4 TO
0 in favor Of the University team.
In the second half the st. Vincents
made rysh toward their opponents
goal and made touchdown. giving
them four points. They failed at the
try-for-goal. Again the St. Vincents
tried their rushing tactics, but when
near their opponents goal Gray went to
kicking, and it took but few of his
kicks to reach his opponents goal, where
they made their second touchdown.
They failed to kick goal, and thus the

STEACK'S WINCHESTER.
A Young Man on Trial for Attempted
Murder.

MuIQCls
The trial of VIM. F. Steack for assault
to murder was begun in department one
OF the superior court yesterday before
Judge Smith and jury.
Steack is charged with making an at
tempt to kill j. H. Kerns, constable.
The affair took place on the 23rd of Sep
tember. in the Little Tejunga caflon.
Kerns went up to the cafion in a
buggy to serve warrant on a man
named Buck. He was accompanied by
John Comstock, who swore to a COM
plant charging Buck with the larceny
of crow bar. Buck and Steack lived to-
gether on claim, and as the officer and
Comstock approached the property,
Steack appeared on hill above
them with Winchester in his
hands. He called out something
to Kerns about his coming to take the
land from them and then leveled his
rifle and fired, the ball whistling past
the two men.
kerns had shotgun in the buggy and
as soon as he could get it out Steack was
covered and commanded to drop his
gun, which he did. Comstock was un-
armed. When the constable leveled
his shotgun at Steack, the latter was en-
deavoring to extract the empty shell
from the rifle, with the evident inten-
tion of firing again.
The prosecution closed its case early
in the afternoon, and the defense put
some witnesses on the stand to impeach
the witnesses for the prosecution. The
hearing will be resumed tomorrow.

THE POMONA TROUBLE.
The Difficulty Finally Adjusted Most
Satisfactorily.

Satisfactorily.
There was large and most enthusi-
astic meeting at Pomona last night.
The meeting was addressed by we'll
known speakers. A number OF resolu-
tions were adopted. The first one was
in effect that the entire community
return thanks to Mrs. Frank Palomares
for her action in the recent trouble,
and that she be exonerated from any
completely whatever.
The second resolution was that Pomo-
Mates wished the Pomona Land and
Water company every success, but that
they do not think the company would
any longer be justified in keeping such
a man as B. S. Nichols.
The next resolution was in substance
that B. S. Nichols and p. @. Tonner had
disgraced themselves in the community
and should not be allowed to take their
former places in society.
The fourth and last resolution was
that the public of Pomona would not be
averse to Tonner and Nichols departing
for rev pastures.
Mrs. Palomares has decided all the prop
erty over to Mr.. Palmer as trustee for all
parties interested.
The part that Mrs. Palomares has
taken in this matter is highly COM
mended by the community.

MORIARTY'S BENEFIT.
THE AMERICAN TEAM GAINS AN
OTHER VICTORY.
The Police Defeat the Fire Depart
ment Team After a Hard Pull.
Quite Neat Sum Realized.

There was fair attendance at Haz-
ards pavilion last evening to witness
the entertainment gotten up for the
benefit of Dan Moriarty, the assistant
chief of the fire department, who lost a
leg by an accident last week. The rain
seriously interfered with the attendance.
A good round sum will be realized,
however.
Yesterday w. R. Burke, the agent of
Wilson & Mann, received dispatch
from that firm stating that they had
collected $3.50 from the underwriters for
Moriarty. Other large collections have
been made and over $4,000 will doubtless
be realized.
The first event on the card ut the pa
vilion last night was speech by Walter
Moore. He paid glowing tribute to
the injured fireman. Mayor Hazard
also made few appropriate remarks.
The first tug was between the Ameri-
cans and Irish. 1t lasted just thirty-two
seconds, and it is hardly necessary to
state that the Americans won. The
Irish team only contained two OF the
old team, and the others were picked
up at the pavilion. Murphy, the anchor
man, made hit. 1t was on account of
his great sliding act. 1t was case of
''Slide, Murphy, slide!" when old
Hutch" settled down to work.
The next tug was more interesting.
1t was between the police and team
from the fire department. The police
made gradual gain, and in 1711a min
utes had the fire laddies over the seven
foot mark.
The police were exhausted after
their hard pull, and defauted
to the American team, who
were presented with the silver pitcher
by Walter Moore. The pitcher was do
mated by Mr.. De Groot. This concluded
the entertainment. N. B. Walker Of
ficiated as referee, and E. J. Niles and
Walter Moore were the Judges.
The committee having charge of the
arrangements for the benefit of Assistant
Chief Moriarty desire to return their
thanks to the various organizations who
volunteered their services. To the
American, Irish, police and fire depart
ment teams the committee are particu-
larly indebted. Captain Roberts of the
police department deserves special men
ton for his zeal in perfecting the ar
rangements OF his team at such short |
notice. To Louis Ebinger, who donated
cake for the second prize, the commit
tee also desire to extend their thanks;
also to E. X. Foster, the printer, for the |
donation of tickets. To the Douglas
band, who not only furnished the music
for the pavilion but also paraded in the
proces sion. Mr.. Beeheimer and his |
corps of ushers will not be forgotten,
and last but not least, the press; and |
the Los Angeles Athletic club for the |
use of ther paraphernalia.

SAN Francisco, Dec. 19.-The sum
of $40, 900 has been paid into the treasury
department by the firm of Neuberger,
Reiss & Co., the members of which were
indicted for smuggling, which is sup
posed to be in satisfaction of the claims
of the government against them, and it
is believed the civil suit will be dis
missed. The case dates from last
September when the case of
goods consigned to the firm fell
from dray and burst open, revealing
smuggled goods. The entire consign-
ment was seized, as were several subse-
quent consignments, and nearly all
proved to be falsely invoiced. Nearly
all the invoices received by the firm
during the year were inspected by S. M.
Cashin, deputy collector, who has been
dismissed for alleged completely in

Grass. -
CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Jim Hall, the Aus
tralian middle-weight, and Bob Fergu-
son, the stock yards heavyweight, had
set-to at Battery d tonight before
5000 people. The affair was engineered
by Parson Davies, and Halls contract
was to stop the giant in six rounds.
Hall was conceded to be greatly
superior in science, but the stock yard
mans friends pinned their faith on his
great strength and size. He wasn't in
it, however, as Hall smashed him in all
sorts of ways, and by the end of the
second round the stock yards giants
face and neck presented a frightful
appearance. In the fourth he got a
corker in the jaw, and dropped in a
heap, though not unconscious. The
police then stopped the fight, and no
decision was given by the referee.
