Not Believed to Have Been Connected
With the Santa Paula Fire.
w. w. Tuthill, resident agent of the
Singer Manufacturing company was seen
yesterday by HERALD reporter concern
ing the history Of Stuart (or Sidney
Bell, formerly salesman with the COM
pany, now reported as convicted in San
Francisco of numbering Samuel Jacob
son.
IT think" said Mr.. Tuthill, "that an
injustice has been done Bell, as we'll as
his friends in this city, by the state
ment, by inference, that he was connect
ed with the burning of the hotel at Santa
Paula in 1887.
"He was working for us, and left soon
after of his own accord, his accounts be-
ing perfectly straight and accurate.
''He married a young lady in this city
and has influential and respected friends
here now. Even if it be true, which 1
do not deny, that he is the same man
now arrested in San Francisco, am con-
fident that he was at the time mention
an honest man, and that the charge of
burning the hotel should never be made
against him, even by insinuation."
1t was stated that Bell had claimed to
have lost $500 of the company's 8 money
in the fire, but this, Mr.. Tuthill says, is
false J, as the books will show that at the
time he had only $26 company funds IN
his possession.

ago. He was reported to be wealthy,
having made considerable money by
conducting a resort in a disreputable
part of the city. He jumped into no
toriety soon after his arrival here on ac-
count of his wife being caught in a
panel game by an adventures, who went
under several names during her resi-
dence in this city, but was known as
Harris. The adventures had young
husband. The young husband and
the wife of Miller met in a
room at Ramona house. Both were
undressed when the Harris woman
burst open the door. There was a
scene, and the result OF the interview
that followed was that Mrs. Miller
yielded up considerable of her jewelry as
a purchase OF the silence of the alleged
injured wife. She repented OF her gener-
osity the next day and had the woman
arrested. The case came up before
Justice Savage, and the developments
were of salacious character. Mrs. Mil
ler claimed that she had been drugged, 4,
and while in a semi-unconscious condi-
ton was induced to listen to the man at
the Ramona The case attracted some
attention at the time, but was soon for
gotten, the Harris woman managing to
escape punishment.
WAS ROBBERY THE MOTIVE?
This murder is one of the most cold
blooded ones that has has come to light
in this city. The bloody deed must
have been done while there were doz-
ems of people within thirty or forty feet
of the victim. The billiard tables were
in full blast all the night and dozeEs of
men passed by the card room where
Miller lay on the sofa, to the closet in
the rear of the saloon. A HERALD
reporter talked with several men
who had been in the hall for
an hour or more that evening.
None heard any noise whatever.
The assassin in all probability entered
the building from the rear and after do
ing his work made his escape the same
way. There could have been no strug
gle as some one would certainly have
heard the noise. Robbery was appar-
emily the motive of the murderer, who
besides being aware that Miller had a
large sum of money on his person, must
have known that he had gone to sleep
while intoxicated in the rear room of
the Carleton. At the time OF going to
press there is no evidence to warrant
any other theory.
No arrests have been made.

THE RAILROADS.
ANOTHER RUMOR ABOUT THE
SALT LAKE ROAD.
James Campbell Resigned from the Bal
Iona Harbor Comparatively to Go to
Salt Lake-Notes.

James Campbell has resigned his po-
sition of general manager OF the
Ballona Harbor and Improvement COM
pany. This move on the part of Mr..
Campbell has been expected for some
time, as the company does not show any
intention of pushing work, and the
recent action of the Southern California
railroad in taking off all train service to
that place, except train on Saturday,
indicated suspension at least tempo
rary of work there.
1t is said that Mr.. Campbell will 60 to
Salt Lake City to engage in the con-
struction of the newly talked of railway
from that city to Los Angeles. There
is some basis for this report. Mr..
Campbell was actively connected with
the building of the Central Pacific road
into Ogden, and he was superintendent
of the Salt Lake division of the Central
Pacific for two years. He consequently
has wide acquaintance with old resi-
dents of Utah, who are now wealthy
and influential people. He is also wide
ly known among the railway builders
and capitalists who have been making
inquiries about constructing line from
Salt Lake to this city. If Mr.. Campbell
does take hold of such project some
thing will be sure to result.

A Fish story.

w. Bartholomew came in this after noon from Jo. Hoeher's ranch where he spent Sunday. Among other things he brought back with him was carp which he caught with a hook and line in tho pond at the iaAch. There was nothing peculiar about catching a carp as there are plenty of them, but this one is curiosity. In it's infancy it had been cut in two, that is, the tail and half of the body had evidently been bitten of by some larger fish. This didn't settle the little ones hash, however. He healed up where he was cut off and is now but two inches long, whereas it would be six inches long if it were whole, It is the most peculiar thing in the shape of fish ever seen. Lt is alive and en toying life in pickle bottle at MT. Hoeher's store.

AdiOs, SaIuOn Lake.
The water in Salton Lake has To,

The water in Salton Lake has low cred rapidly during the past week says the Yuma Sentinel. There is no longer any water flowing into the basin, and where three weeks ago a large stream was running, there is scarcely sign of moisture to be seen. Last week Engineers Hangwood and Swaine rode from Flowing Wells to Carlso Creek. in buggy, and found
 hat there was no water coming desert ward from the Colorado river. In fact, where 8 short time ago respectable river had been running, no trace Of water could be seen. It was found also that the sand dunes which had been cut through by the spring floods, were reforming and within few months the sands of the desert would again build up barrier against the encrOachments of the Cobra ,u river From these facts it can readily be seen that Salton lake will soon be a thing of the past The evaporation is rap idly diminishing it's volume and il will require only few weeks more to finish up the wonderful lake which appeared for short season in the Col orado desert.

New CasslO s'OOd.

A new cattle food has come to light that is a new idea to most people il not to all. It is the young century plant or Maguay. On the hills near Tombstone any day may be seen COWS with calves by their side with an ap- paren. relish, devour the leaves of this plant, sharing with the offspring the most succulent part near the base of the unappetising looking fodder. The method of getting a, it is to take hold of the end of the sharp point on the end and break it off with the teeth and let 1t out Of the mouth onto the ground then taking a firm hold of the leaf, the animal pulls it out from the bulb and masticates it as it would a cornstalk, little at time till all dis appears. When the last or butt end is to be lost sight of by the calf, the lat ter takes it into its mouth and sucks the juicy morsel before the mother swallows it.
 It was rather surprise to witness this performance last Sunday while taking stroll, but 1t wa still more surprising to be told by the owner of the animal that nearly all of his cows did the same thing and that they gave an abundance of sweet rich milk and seemed to prosper better than those which had not yet acquired the mescal habit.

THE southwestern silver convention to meet at Fl Paso on Dec l5 will call out large number of representative mining men from Arizona and New Mexico. The question of free coinage will be discussed The duty on silver lead ores will be an important subject. The alien land law which prohibits foreign corporations from acquiring lands in the territories will be live topic. And yet above all of these sub iects there is une not yet mentioned which is of more importance to both territories than any other. It IS the settlement of the Indian question. As long as San Carlos remains populated with restless band of red men, just g. long will life and property be in jeopardy. Capital will not invest in timber, mineral or agricultural land where danger exists of having the ac- cumula'ions of years swept away in n single day. The abandonment of one military post after another, makes the danger more pronounced. General McCook has advised the abandonment of San Carlos, and the removal of the Apaches to other fields. Let the south west silver convention follow up his recommendation with demand that this incubus be removed before any more military posts are abandoned. Let the consummatiOn of this wish be brought about, and we will not want alien capital to develop the resources of the southwest. Thousands of sturdy pioneers will develop with their capital-pluck and muscle
 the hidden treasures of the mountains
 and valleys where the bleaching bones
 of the more daring of our race tell the
 story Of what is in store for capital as
 long as the Apache problem is un-
 solved.

There are many points along the way between Tombstone and Huachu- ca where the feed is knee high and very thick and nutritious. Cattle never get to these choice feeding grounds owing to the lack of water The Huachuca water main runs through the best part of it and it would seem that the expense of later could not be great, and it certainly is wrong to see cattle starving within q few miles of where they might be saved by u little foresight.
