Special TO the RECoRD-UN1oS.


SAN BERNARDINo, April GA horrible
butchery took place to-day at about u
O'Clock, on Fourth street, near the depot,
in which old man Goldcoffer and a
woman named Francisco Flores were
killed by Spaniard named Jesus Fuen.
1t seems that Fuen and Francisco
Flores were living together as man and
Wife, but that Fuen had become jealous
OF her for some reason, and had threat
ened to kill anyone found in the house.
The neighborhood was aroused at II
O'Clock to-day by the screams of women
and shouts that Fuen was chasing Fran
cisca with a butcher-knife. She ran into
the house of a neighbor, an old man
named Goldcotfer, about IS years of age
and paralytic, who opened the door and
let Francisco in and attempted to bar the
door against Fuen, who battered it down.
Goldcotfer then attempted to shoot Fuen
with shotgun, which failed to discharge.
Fuen then rushed in and stabbed the old
man in the neck, cutting his head half
off. tuen then gave chase to Francisco,
running through the fields about 100
yards before overtaking her, when he
stabbed her downward, just above the
colIar-bone, killing her instantly.
A house dog that had followed them
began licking the body of the dead
woman, when Fuen kicked him away,
and laid down on Francisca's arm.
Isen Mendibles, a Spaniard, cutting
wood near by, came running to the as
sistance of the screaming woman, when
Fuen ran at him with a knife, but Men
dibles hit him on the head with big
rock, stunning him, until officers arrived
ten minutes later.
Within a few minutes hundreds of
people arrived on the grounds and viewed
the CHASTITY scene. But it was too late to
be of any service to the participants.
Fuen was at once fastened by the Off
GERS to the Jail, none too soon, for loud
threats were made of immediate lynch
ing, which was only arrested by the
doctors pronouncing Fuen in dying
condition. 1t is understood, however,
that his wounds are only scalp wounds,
and not of serious nature.

SALT LAKE (Utah), April 6.-The site

In 1858, when Johnston's army came

was resumed, and with the exception of
1868 and 1869, when the workmen of the
Territory were mostly employed in con-

cap-stone was laid April 6, 1892, and the
date of the dedication fixed for TODAY

ganization of the Mormon Church and
the tortieth anniversary of the laying of
the cornerstone of the Temple.
The building is 1861 by SO feet in dimen-

thick at the foundation to 6 feet at the top.
There are six towers, three on each side.

There are four doors, two on the east and

all modern appliances for lighting, heat

Sir Charles Russell concluded his ar
gument in reply to the objections of Hon.

States. as to the legal character of certain
evidence offered by Great Britain.
In his closing answer to PHELPS pro-
posal to exclude the supplementary re-

that the objections of the United States to

In conclusion, Sir Charles urged upon
the arbitrators the necessity Of deter

In reply Carter remarked that it was
not the custom of the American bar for
counsel to introduce his own personality
in a case so as to lend weight to his argu-
ments; therefore, he himself would not
follow the example set several times by
counsel for Great Britain. He pointed
out that when the United States delegates
arrived in Paris the case, as far as argu-

claimed he had orders from Disbursing
Officer Stone placing him in charge of the

prices as he chose. There appeared wide
discrepancies in the prices, and when
called upon to explain this he said his
books were stolen. He admitted that he
sent furniture to private houses of sew

Harrington's residence and to his own

on Kings River.
FRESNO, April Ga report reached
here to-day that Evans and Sontag had
been discovered at a place called Red
Rock, on the north fork OF Kings River,
far back in the mountains. A company
OF five or six detectives having reason to
believe that the robbers were in that vi
cinity, followed them, and some thirty or
forty miles beyond SIMPSONS Flat came
upon campfire where the outlaws had
been stopping, and where they had done
some cooking. Evidently they had left
some hours before, and had taken all sup
plies with them, going further back into
the mountains, as shown by the trail. The
snow in this place was deep, and the pur-
suers pushed after them, however, but
deeper and deeper became the snow, and
tracks of Evans and Sontag were plain to
be seen.
a scout was sent ahead of the others to
reconnoiter, and to look out for danger.
They had advanced in this way some
time when the scout caught sight of the
outlaws in the distance as they crossed
space bare of trees in ascending the
mountains. They discovered the scout
about the same time that he discovered
them. The scout wheeled and ran back
to the main party and made known his
discovery. Evans and Sontag had snow
shoes on their backs. and adjusting them
they sat out upon a retreat up the mount
ain, passed over its summit considerably
in advance of the pursuers and disap-
peared down the other side. The pur-
suers soon found it was impossible to
overtake the robbers, who, on snow
shoes, could go five miles while the de-
tectives could go one.

concluded as he was needed he would get

shrieked and tore their clothing. The
less unfortunate were distracted by fear

lating to the trouble in Rio Grande do
Sui. The telegram stated that the re-
ports of serious engagement between
the revolutionists and Government forces,
printed in the United States and Euro
pean press, were exaggerated, for the
reason that the revolutionists avoided
coming into contact with the troops. In
one battle that occurred there were but
fifty soldiers engaged and they gained
decisive victory. The telegram closes

tirely loyal; that no assertions have oc-
Cured and every order has been obedi-
emily executed,
