James Wood, of Upper Trout. was in

Owing to the form in which the ballots
for this county were printed, many of the
voters overlooked the candidates for attor-

LYNCHED THE WRONG MAN.
Francisco Torres Did Not Kill
Major McKelVey.
Angel Sanchez Tells a Startling Story
Which He Claims He Has Evidence
to Prove.

Angel Sanchez, cousin Of Francisco Tor
res. who was hanged by Santa Ana mob
for the murder OF Major McKelvey. Is now
in this city. and claims to have proof that
his cousin was innocent of the crime i'm
puted to him. If Sanehez's statements are
true the Santa Ana mob made the mistake
of taking human life, for which the United
States Government will be required to pay
heavy damages.
1t appears from the evidence collected by
Sanchez that his Cousin. Torres, left the
Modjeska ranch some six hours before the
murder could have been committed.
1t was known that lie was greatly liked
by the man whom he is claimed to have
slain, and had no reason for committing
such crime.
When he left the place he was fully paid
off, and the balance Of his earnings he left
with friend TO be delivered TO his wife and
mother.
Torres was hardworking and industrious
man, and the only reason that he left the
Modjeska ranch was because he was offered
a position at breaking horses, which work
ne had an aptitude for on account OF his
previous training.
When the fact of McKelvey's murder
became public, Torres was at once charged
with having committed the crime, and he
very lOOlSHIy went jDtO HlulUBs
| that he would have to go TO jail.
He intended going to Lower California.
Sanchez now claims that the real mur-
| derer of McKelvey is at large and is living
| in Los Angeles.
This man, it appears, was continually
threatening to kin McKelvey, because the
| latter was harsh in his treatment OF him.
Sanchez states that every one on the
| odjeska ranch is aware of the i'll feeling
| that existed between this man, who is a
| Swede, and McKelvey.
| A strange part of the whole affair is that
| the Swede left the ranch the day the muir
| der was committed and never applied for a
| small balance coming to him.
The books Of the ranch will show Torres
was paid in full, and he was in a very
| pleasant humor when he bid his compan-
| ions good-by upon leaving.
In fact there were several ranchhands
| present when Torres went to take his fare
| well of Mckelvey.
Torres has a widow, mother and sever raj
| children living in Los Angeles County.
The widow took upon herself the task to
| clear her dead husbands name. and has so
! far proved successful. A number OF we'll
| to-do Mexicans who are acquainted with
| the facts OF the case have agreed to advance
| the necessary funds TO bring claim
| against the United States.
The hanging they claim, was an act OF
madness on the part of the Santa Ana mob
! and that an innocent man was the victim.
Sanchez has placed the case in the hands
| of A. B. Treadwell. who will have promi-
| nent lawyer OF this city associated with
| him in pressing the claim before the United
| States authorities.
Treadwell states that Torres never killed
| Mckeivey, as the evidence plainly shows,
and that the Santa Ana officials are 10th TO
admit the fact because they stirred up the
/ PEOPLE Of that city by claiming that Torres
did the deed when they know now that it

are TO take place In a few days.
Kelly and Crimmins will have no oppo-

possible exception of the Forty-fourth Dis
trict, where George Walker and Irvine Gra-

will not be worth the price of admission:
In the Democratic camp, however, there
will be lots of fun, especially in the Forty
fifth District, where McNab lives. The

generally supposed to have Sam Rainey and
the Fire Department back of him, and Will
make the battle of his life. He wants to
control the delegation from his district and
for that matter does also Sullivan. Broken

looked for before the day is over. The re-

charges of disturbing the peace, vulgar
language and threats against life.
Bright and early yesterday m0rningsAllen
secured his release on bonds. He did not
enjoy freedom very long. for he was again
arrested and booked on a charge of grand
larceny.
Martin Quinlan, the Police Court lawyer,
is again the complainant. He alleges that
Allen stole watch and chain from S. Ii.
Perry. a Market-street picture dealer.
Blossom Vale, young woman Of good
looks, stirred up all the trouble. For manv
months Allen considered himself her friend.
One day last week he went to her abode on
Montgomery street and found Quinlan in
possession. There followed a lively en-
counter, in which Quinlan was w0rsted and
routed. That was the cause of his enmity.

BROWN AND KELLY.

Kelly and Crimmins are greatly exercised
over the outlook for the success Of the
ticket to be nominated by the Non Partisan
convention and are devising every means
within their power to check the tide OF OPP
position to them.
To them there Is but one ray OF hope WIS.,
ible. Their only chance TO come out victor
ious is to prevent the Non-Partisan nomi-
nees being given place at the head OF the
ticket
But can they do thata
1t seems SO.
The great trouble so far as Kelly Is con-
cerned is that he is not in touch with the
Registrar of Voters. Brown Is friend OF
Colonel Burns and as a consequence is not
friendly In political sense with the Third
street bosses. For that reason he is relied
upon to give them the worst of 1t whenever
he can.
Hero is where the law comes in. Under
the Australian ballot act ic seems to be
pretty we'll established that the Registrar
has authority to secure the printing of the
tickets.
The Election Commission seems to have
no power to interfere, and Brown Is free TO
do rs he pleases. Suppose, for instance, he
decides to give the Non-PartIsans place at
the head Of the ticket, and chooses to say
nothing TO any one ab0st 1t? What will
be the result? Simply that about five days

DONE BY EXPERT BURGLARS.

Alameda had a sensation yesterday MORN

1t was in the shape OF burglary COM

One Of these stores is occupied By Frank

1920 Park street. and the other, which is
adjoining in the Park Row building. is oc-
cupied by C. V. Strom, jsweler.
The manner in which the safes were
opened goes to show that the safe
crackers are men who thoroughly under
stand their business and care little for locks
and bars
From the investigation made 1t appears
that the burglars, for there must have been
more than one. broke into blacksmitb-shop
