give n clear account of this seemingly
causeless and brutal butchery; but the
facts, so far beyond dispute, are these:
One night Paddy Moore known as a man

keeper and employer of Horn, won 1925

and decided to paint the town" in conse
quence. They soon found James Horn and
Dick Ryan and the four made night of
it. Next afternoon they met again, but in
the meantime the loser of the Sl25 met the
winners, threatened them with police and
prosecution and compelled them to give it
up. So they were in a very i'll humor when
they met their friends, and the chatting
of the latter led to a fight. All were
drunk and quarrelsome-all have the repu-

came out that Ryan and Horn had had
trouble and that Horn had threatened
vengeance.
Late that evening they all met by chance

Do "Republi leans" who have been begged
to vote for Blattner" ever reflect upon his
record?
Billy" Blattner. who is Martin Kelly's
candidate for Sheriff, has been in charge of
the County Clerks Office for two years.
The County Clerks office is one of the
two great patronage Offices, and before
BILLY" BlattBer got it it was conducted by
an liz umbeIt according to pledge on $4,000
a month.
But the bosses wanted man there who
would be less scrupulous in the fulflment
of pledges. a suitable person was found in
the present County Clerk.
The pledge to run the Office on $4,000 a
month was openly disregarded early in the
Battner administration. The sum of $685.

come from who tend courts. who control

1t was this department from which came

With a salary of $4,000 year Cor the past

the candidates to whom the request was sent.
In its issue of Sunday last the Chronicle
publishes the request with the names at
tached and Nj. Easton's reply accepting the
invitation.

A telegram from Bakersfield was read

The audience then set up howl for Gen.

but finally yielded and assembled the ros-

"All is not yet lost. Perhaps some Of
them will come back" was all the comfort
w. III. l.. Barnes could find for "Repub-
licans" at Irving Hall last night.
1t was cold comfort enough even when
wrapped up in the generals most glowing
periods, but the audience had nothing else
TO take home TO sleep upon.
1t somehow sounded hollow to hear the
speaker maintain that 1t would be better to
send Republican to the Senate of the
