cisco, charged with the murder of his
brother-in-law, Sabeli, and convicted
here of murder in the first degree, in

granted two weeks ago, was this morn
ing discharged by Judge Crawford. Dis
trict Attorney Burnett informed the
court that there would be no additional
testimony at the second trial. The

la shot D. Firanzi with Winchester
rifle near here last night. The bullet
entered his ear and passed out at the
back of his neck. Firanzi may die.
There had been trouble between them
for some time on account of sighting
remarks said to have been, made by
Firanzi regarding Nonella's wife, which
the latter resented. Both are said to
have been drinking when the quarrel
occurred. Nonella is the man who

Looking For Rain.


Looking For Rain.
benson, Ariz., Feb. 23.-The people
of this section are anxiously watching
the weather. The failure of rain for the
next three weeks will be serious
blow to the cattle interests of Arizona.
The past year has been very dry. Up
to the last three weeks practically no
rain has fallen for nearly year, and
the losses of cattle throughout the terri
tory are already larger than for seven
years previous. Joseph Band, cattle in
spector for Benson and Pantano district,
estimates the losses along the San Pedro
river above Benson, at II per cent, and
on the lower San Pedro at so per cent.
New grass has been started by the re-
cent showers, and if more rain falls dur
ing the next three weeks to aid it air
will be we'll. If not, the grass will die
and probably very few COWS and calves
on the range will survive the summer.
Steers are harder and will not suffer
much.

His Band Dispersed aud Himself Caught

WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.-The secretary
of state has received the following from
Minister Ryan of Mexico, regarding the
condition of affairs in that country:
According to advices of the Mexican
government, Garza's band, organized
solely in Texas, has been completely
dispersed, in consequence of the pursuit
set on foot by the United States forces.
Whenever the insurgent forces crossed
into Mexico, the precautionary meas
ures instituted by this government were
sufficient to preserve the people and
railways from HARM"
The statement in the telegram regard
ing the safety of the railroads, is in
tended to dispose of the report that
travelling is unsafe in Mexico on ac-
count of the CARA outbreak.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. 23.-The re-
port has reached here that Cara has
been caught and shot by Mexican
soldiers, but nothing is known of con-
frmatory character.

All Taken.

Bleached Bones Found of a Man Who
Disappeared Fifteen Years Ago.
A Confessed Burglar Given
His Liberty.

SAN Francisco, Feb. 23.-The taking
of testimony in rebuttal in the Curtis
case closed today. Only two wit
nesses were examined, both being for
the defense. District Attorney Barnes
then opened argument to the jury, and
said he would only attempt to state the
evidence fairly, without any appeal to
the prejudices Of the jury, leaving them
responsible for their verdict. In pur-
suance of this declaration, he reviewed
the testimony; laying stress on the fact
that Mrs. Holden and Mrs. johnson,
both residing across the street from
where Officer Grant was shot, heard
shots, saw flames, saw one man fall
and only one other man run away.
A pistol of the same calibre
as the one owned by Curtis was found
near by with three empty chambers.
When arrested Curtis exclaimed: "Oh,
my God If could only recall the past
three or four hoursl" When arrested
Curtis had on his wrist the nipper
placed there by Officer Grant.
The district attorney then rehearsed
the story told by Curtis to the effect
that he was assaulted and that the
officer was killed by footpad, and in
closing asked if it was possible for in
telligent men to believe the story as
told.
Attorney Knight made the opening
argument fer the defense. He stated
that Curtis was known by reputation to
the people of the United States every
where, ,and that reputation had always
been good. He claimed it impossible
for mind befuddled as was Curtis's on
the night of the tragedy, to concoct a
defense that has since withstood exam
ination, unless there was truth in his
statements, and he was convinced Cur
tis had never been prompted as TO what
defense he should make
Knight said only one witness, Sergeant
Coles, testified that Policeman Grant
had his star on when the body was
found, and it was further claimed that
Grant was in citizens clothing. Knight
claimed that the prosecution had sup
pressed material evidence, though for
what purpose ne could not state. He
criticized the statements of number of
witnesses for the prosecution, and said
on the other hand Witness Harrington
and Mrs. Abbott positively testified to
three men being engaged in the struggle
at the time the shot was fred.

Rough water prevented the boat from
Fortress Monroe from leaving that
place for Washington last night, SO
Speaker Crisp did not return to the city
aoday. His health is better and he will
return to Washington tomorrow.
SILVER IN sTATU QUO.
The silver question appears to be in
statu quo pending the return of Speaker
Crisp and the Chicago excursionists. So
far as learned, Holman has not deter
mined the date on which the caucus
requested by Harter will be held. The
anti-silver men will not be bound by any
conclusion reached in caucus as to the
silver question that may be objection
able to them, SO it is probable that the
caucus will be no more than confer

A TELEGRAM tells US that Patti has
concluded to disinherit her nephew,
young Barili, for some escapades OF that
young blade in the gay Lothario line.
One would think that, in this instance,
fellow-feeling would have made the
diva wondrous kind. Barili seems to
have provided the newspapers with
identically the same kind of an episode
as that which signalized the relations OF
Nicolini and the Marquise de Caux.
The elder Barili was wont to tell some
very hard stories concerning PATHS
stinginess and ingratitude. He was her
stepfather and discovered and trained
the prima donna, as he once told New

the serpent's fang tearing his distracted

STATES which are likely to cast their
electoral vote for the Democratic candi-
date for president are those which ought
to be allowed to say who he should be.
We elected a Democratic governor of
Massachusetts, in 1874, and yet the old
Bay state gave Hayes round majority
for president in 1876. Pennsylvania is
as likely to cast her vote for the nomi-
nee of the Chicago convention as she is
to disappear in the ocean by dip in
the Atlantic side of the continent.
Ohio, Vermont, Maine and the other
states which invariably go Republican
in presidential years, would show fine
sense of the fitness OF things by turning
diligent ear to the preferences of the
pivotal states and of the always reliable
states of the south. And yet a
vote from these Republican strongholds
counts for as much as one from any 9TH
er commonwealth. This is not an ideal
condition of politics.

can make, for John can talk the birds off
the bushes-but the invariable result OF
his visits was that the Webfoot state
went more strongly Republican than
usual. The World had announced that

HILL DEMOCRATS.
The Meeting of Number One Club
Last Night.


Last Night.
The Hill Democratic Club of Califor-
MIA No. l. held its regular meeting last
night. The election of club delegations
to the Chicago convention, owing to the
absence of chairman of the committee
on selection of names, Capt. Flournoy
w. Higgins, the matter was deferred
until next regular meeting.
The committee heretofore appointed
to arrange for a picnic on May 1st made
the following rep rt:
Your committee appointed at the last
regular meeting to take into account
the advisability of holding Democratic
picnic and barbecue the coming month
beg leave report the following:
We have taken into our counsel the
advice of few of our recognized lead
ing Democrats, and we heartily and
fully concur with them that under ex-
listing circumstances it is unwise and
premature to open the campaign at 60
early a date. Nevertheless we would
recommend that when the convention
to be held in Chicago has chosen
our standard bearer we as all
good and true Jacksonian Demo
Gratis assemble together, ratifying
their choice and open up progressive
canvass which will convince the tmid,
convert the stubborn and educate all to
the fact that by electing a Democratic
president we shall have better times
throughout the land. Your committee
believes that the present year is an
auspicious one, and if good judgment is
exercised and harmony prevails within
our ranks, that the people are with us
in sentiment and feeling, endorsing our
motto, Progress and Reform.
We extend to those kind gentlemen
who have offered free the bovnes for
barbecue our thanks, and would suggest
that they will keep until a more oppor-
tune time, when we shall be pleased to
avail ourselves of their patriotism and
advance the general welfare of the party.
The report of the committee was
adopted.
After an informal discussion OF various
questions the club adjourned to meet
next Tuesday night at Y. M. |. hall,
1151a North Main street.
