Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN.
SAN DIEGO, March 9-The particulars
of the killing of William Trimmer by
Frank Gotta, at Ell Cajon, are rather sensa-
tional.
1t seems that Trimmer, who was q
years Of age, has been paying attention to
Cota's sister, much against the wishes of
the entire Gotta family.
Young Frank met Trimmer yesterday
morning and forbid him having anything
more to do with the girl or attempting to
see her. Trimmer retorted that he would
see her as often as he pleased, and so long
as she was agreeable. Both men were
armed and on horseback, and after con-
siderable more angry talk they both
agreed to get down on the ground and
settle the matter right there.
This was no sooner agreed to than done.
and after tying their horses to a convent
ent fence they stepped off twenty PAGES
i'll the road, turned about and COM
menced emptying their revolvers at each
other. After four shots had been ex-
changed Trimmer fell dead and Gotta had
a bullet in his back, which had torn
through the right arm and was eventually
removed by the surgeon. He was re-
moved to Ell Cajon and placed in charge
of Constable, and the Coroner teie-
phoned to from this city to take charge of
the remains of Trimmer and hold an in
quest.
Gotta will be brought to the County Jail
and charged with murder, as soon as he
is able to travel. He is p years old. and
both families are among the oldest in the

did the leading, and after sizing up Dan
forth's style, he landed left-handed up-
per-cuts fully in Danforth's face every
time he ducked. He never missed his
blows, which were delivered with telling
effect.
The second round was more fierce than
the first, and Danforth began to show
signs of weakening. They had scarcely
been fighting minute and half in this
round when Haggan planted right
handler full in Danforth's stomach, which
doubled him up like jacknife. AS he
bent forward Haggan landed an upper
cut, which almost put him to Sleep He
managed to get on his feet at the call of
time, but in moment Haggan landed
another swinging left-hander, which
again sent him sprawling.

from Pittsburg last night stated that the
First National Bank of Pittston had re-
ceived letter from Spanish priest tell
ing of a treasure belonging to the late
King Alfonso, which was buried in Lu-
zerne County, Pa.
The story bears a remarkable resem-
blance to letter received nearly two
years ago by San Francisco gentleman.
The letter was dated Lagunta, near Va
lencia, Spain, April 4, 1889, and was
signed NJ. Del Rio. It told of a prisoner
named Erederique Val, who had buried
the treasure in the United States. The
letter was very vague, and great secrecy
was enjoined.
The gentleman answered the letter, and
in return received another letter, this
time signed by Frederique Val. 1t stated
that he was one OF King Alfonso's cour-
tiers, and had been entrusted by him
with treasure, consisting of money and
jewels, which was buried in this country.
He had been imprisoned and was without
money or friends. If the gentleman
would kindly forward him little over
5000 francs to pay court expenses, he
would send him papers so that the treas
ure could be found. The gentleman was

Grafton. Then, he says, with the excep-
ton OF two Bishops, the whole Irish
Catholic Episcopate resisted the inde-
pendent policy with all their power and
banished priests to penal parishes for
supporting the Independent party.
Eventually, he adds, the independents
became reduced by intrigue and corrup-

mored here tonight that the steamer
Buckeye went down in the Sound, be-
tween Edmunds and Apple-tree Cove,

small steamer, went into Edmunds yes
terday afternoon, loaded with cabbages
and other vegetables. The Captain in
vited party to go with him on trip
across the Sound. About twenty, ma
jority of them ladies, accepted the invita-
ton. The boat had reached the middle
OF the Sound, about dark, when storm
arose. For an hour there was heavy
gale. A grader on the Great Northern,
near Edmunds, is reported as saying that
he saw light 5obbing on the water for
an hour or more and then disappear. The
boat did not return to Edmunds last
night, and this morning, near that place,
large number of cabbages and some
wreckage could be seen.
The story was brought by the steamer

TERRIBLE SCENE.
Lion-Tamer Horribly Mangled by
One of His Beasts


PARIS, March "a terrible scene. by
which q well-known lion-tamer will lose
his life, was witnessed at the Hippodrome
to-day. The spectacular of .'Nero'' was

man bodies. Seets, the ion-tamer, had
just concluded the days drilling or train
ing of six lions for this performance and
was driving them back into their cages.
when one of them sullenly refused to
enter the cage. Seets managed to cage
the remaining five lions and then turned
his attention to the rebellious animal.
Seets armed himself with lance and
tried to dislodge the refractory lion. but
in so doing he tripped and lost hold of
The lance. Before the ion-tamer could re-
gain possession of the weapon the angry
lion sprang upon him, hurled him to the
floor and bit and rent him in most hor-
rlble manner. Seets' cries for help soon
brought another trainer te the scene. The
latter caught up the lance and gallantlv
attacked the lion, infiicting a severe
wound with the weapon. Cowed by the
wound received, the lion released poor
Seets and skunk into his cage. Medical
assistance was promptly sent for, and
everything possible done to save the lion
tanners life, but the latest reports are that
he is in dying condition.
