New Light Shed on the Daly-Lawton
Tragedy.
SAN Francisco, May 13.-The Exam
liner publishes an article throwing new
light on the tragedy which occurred on
Portrero Heights last Sunday NOR ming,
in which Daniel Daily, an employee Of
the Union iron works, shot and killed
J. Lawton and seriously wounded John
Carroll. The story as published at
the time was that Michael La wton, also
an employee OF the Union iron works,
had discove red that DAILY, who boarded
with him, was unduly intma tie with his
(Lawton,s) wife, and that d party con-
sisting of Michael Lawton. his brother
John, Carroll and two others had burst
open a door and surprised DAILY and
result as stated. 1t now develops that a
large quantity of valuable tools and other
articles have been stolen from the Union
Iron works from time to time the past
year, and evidence has been secured to
show that Michael Lawton and Dalv
were the thieves who have been syste-
matically robbing the works and selling
the plumber. DAILY who is now in Jail
has been confronted with evidence and
made a full confession. The police have
discovered 81 900 worth of stolen tools on
Lawton's premises. and Lawton will be
arrested probably today Sunday. The
police now believe that the story about
Mrs. Lawton's infdelity was invented
by Lawton, and that the purpose of
the attack of the party last Sunday was
not to secure evidence for use in di-
vorce proceedings, as claimed by Law
ton, but to murder DAILY and Mrs.
Lawton. DAILY and Mrs. Law
ton had quarreled over the
division of the spoils, and Lawton
not only wanted the lions share but was
also afraid that DAILY would expose their
crime. The officers also believe that
Lawton wanted to get his wife out of the
way, as it is known he was very anxious
to sell their property and had been try
ing uusuccessfully for some time to get
her consent 20 the transaction.

SOCIETY IN A oUANDARv.


The 400 at Their Wits End How to
Entertain Royalty.
New York, May 13.-An evening pa
per says; So many complications have
arisen over the approaching visit of her
royal highness Infanta Eulslie, of Spain,
that the various committees having
charge of the affair are at their Wits
end. After the eight and dignified fric-
ton between Oirculo Colon Cervantes
and the society ladies that wanted to
manage a ball in her honor was settled
by placing the arrangements in the
hands OF the society, with ladies as
patronesses, the committeeman breathed
freer and thought all the trouble was over
Then they engaged regal quarters for
her royal highness at the Hotel Waldorf.
That, they thought, settled the worst
fears of the details, but they were
wrong. The infsnta has thrown an
etiquette bombshell into the camp of the
committeeman, and it is learned from
an authentic source that the infanta has
sent word that che will not stop at the
Waldorf hotel and occupy the rooms
formerly occupied by subject. In
fact, che refuses to be quartered at the
same hotel, much less occupy the
rooms vacated by the Duke Of Veragua.
The members of the committee are in a
quandary now where to get suitable &C.
commodation.

rancher living miles from Campo the

ostensible purpose of buying a COW.
Finding Asbeck away and his daughter,
Isabel alone, he grossly insulted her.
She fled for safety, crying for help, but
had been brought to bay when her faith
or returned. Taking in the situation at
glance, Asbeck leveled his shotgun at
Herman just as he was about to mount
his horse and compelled him to stand
until the girl returned to the house to
get heavy whip with which she hogged
him numerically. When she was ex-
hausted her father permitted Herman to
escape with warning which he will be
likely to remember to make himself

Another of the Burton Brothers Killed
A Regular Vendetta Begun.
BAKERsFIELD, May 13.-E. L, Allison
was brought here late last night and
lodged in Jail, charged with killing
James Burton near Kernville yesterday.
Allison SAYS Burton attacked him with a
rifle and q revolver and after q desperate
struggle he was compelled to shoot him
four times in self defense. Fletcher
Burton, brother of the dead man, was
shot and killed at Kernville last October
and William and Charles Gibson, broth
ers, were arrested, tried in the superior
court last March and found guilty, and
there is now q motion pending in the
court for new trial. Allison testified
strongly against the Burton brothers at
the trial, and it is supposed that Ia the

A REGULAR VENDETTA.
CArIENrE, CAL, May 13.-News has
ray TOOK placg yesterday near Kernville
which resulted in the death of Jim Bur.
ton, who was shot in the arm four
months ago while in a battle with the
Gibson brothers over newly discovered
gold mine.
A. l.. Allerton. who is a painter by
trade, met Burton on the North Fork
bridge, and the men being bitter enc
mics, they each pulled their guns and
began shooting. Burton was shot four
times through the head and body. The
residents of that immediate vicinity be-
lieve that 1t it is the beginning of a
small war between the faction of Gibson
and Burton.
There are four Burton brothers and
four Gibsons. Each faction has q fol-
lowing of % or 80 outside Of their rela-
tives. The main man now of the Glib
son faction is Allerson He assumed
charge after William and Charles Glib
son were arrested for the killing OF
Fletcher Burton. The Burtons and
Gibsons are known as gun fghers. The
Gibson faction seem to have the largest
force, and are bad men.
Bill Walker and his five SONS have
taken sides with the Gibsons and were
seen on the road with Winchesters on
their shoulders and six shooters with
two belts of cartridges strapped to their
bodies. Johnny Manning and Jack
O'Brien, notorious fighters, also shout
dered their guns and came to town
and took sides with the Burtons.
The gang was headed by Jim Bur-
toms sister Laura. and went to the
Jail last night in Kernville to find Aller-
son, but the officer, Charles Clark, who
is known as a gamey man, heard that
there was to be an attack on the Jail,
took Allerson to Mrs. Schumate's hotel
and remained until late hour, when
they slipped out the back way, walked
to Hot Springs and took the stage for
Caliente. Allerson refused to give up
his gun until he had reached the county
seat.
The people of the upper part OF Kern
county are in intense excitement over
the bloody aspect which appears to be in
that locality. People are afraid to take
sides, and as soon as one expresses his
opinion he is expected to shoulder gun
and fall into the ranks of that blood
thirsty crowd.
