THE RIO VISTA MURDER.
Charley Brown, the Slayer of Watch
man Howard, Caught.


By this mornings Eastern dispatches
it will be seen that Charley Brown, alias
John Wilson. alias Frisco Slim, alias
Boston Slim, has been captured in Chi
cago, and Sheriff Henderson of Solano
notified to send for him.
Brown is wanted for the murder John
Howard, the night watchman of the Sac
ramento Transportation Company at Rio
Vista, on the morning of January 20, 1892.
Howard discovered burglars at work on
the company's safe, and as he went to
enter the building, Brown, who was con-
cealed outside, shot him in the abdomen
with shotgun. Howard emptied the
chambers of his revolvers at the mur-
derer and his partners as they ran away,
and when the citizens arrived at the spot
he told the story and described Brown.
Detective Burke of this city was i'm
mediately notified, and he telegraphed to
Marshal Pitts and Constable Sweeny at
Antioch, and also to Constable Fitzpat-
rick at Suisun. Pitts had also tele-
graphed to Fitzpatrick.
AT P. NJ. next day two of the burglars,
Wells and man known as Spec" were
captured by Pitts and Sweeny in a boat
going down the bay. The other two,
''Slim" and Lee Horrell, had left the boat
about an hour before, and striking the
rallrOaO track U6CW66Q A0L1OCl and
Brentwood, escaped into San Luis Obispo
County. Horrell was arrested some time
after in Los Angeles, where he was TAX
ing care of horses. Being well-advised,
he pleaded guilty. At the trial ''Specs'i
turned States evidence, and Wells and
Horrell were sent to State Prison for life.
The case was carefully worked up by
Detective Burke, Sheriff Henderson,
Fitzpatrick and Under Sheriff Perkins,

doing his work we'll. After the others
were convicted, Sheriff Henderson and
Burke sent circulars all over the States,
$500 of them being sent to different
points, giving an accurate description of
Brown, and his arrest has been the result.
An abundance of evidence is in the hands
Of the officers, and they have a sure case
against Brown, SO that if he does not
plead guilty and get off with imprison-
ment tor life, they say he will be sure to
swing for his crime.

MISS REGAN's DEATH.
1--WE are in receipt of the sad intelli-
gence that Miss Josie j. Regan of this
city, our associate mem ber and CO. worker
in the cause of education, died in Paris,
France, on the 18th of November, 1893.
Miss Regan entered the profession of
teaching in the year 1878, and continued
uninterruptedly until the time of her
death. IN perception she was keen, in
judgment she was just and deliberate, in
energy she was untiring, and she was
possessed of the peculiar tact and skill so
necessary for the successful teacher. In
recognition of her special fitness for the
profession, she was, soon after beginning
the duties of professional life, elected to
the public school department OF this city.
Her personal energy, indomitable cour-
age. and marked ability soon placed her
in the foremost rank of the department.
At the time Of her death she held the
Vice e-Principalship of the Sutter Gram
sponsibility. Truly may it be said that
she was an honored member of the pro-
fesSion.
I'm the year 1884 sshe was elected
member of the Sacramento County Board
Of Education, which position she held at
the time of her death. In the year 1892
she was honored by an election to its
presidency. Here her noble qualities of
mind and heart were fully eXemplitied.
She never neglected nor shrank from a
duty, she was ever kind and sympathetic
to the weak ana unfortunate, and was
unalteraoly firm in her convictions OF
right.
LET us then trust that she is continu-
ing in another sphere in the exercise of
II
to US on earth, and find hope in the
sweet assurance that There is no DEATH
What seems so is transition He doeth
all things well.'

His attorney, E. G. Hart, asked for a
further continuance, as he had been un-

K. t. Devlin, who is assisting in the

sired to get hold OF Kramer and prosecute
him than to take his bondsmen's money,
he would consent to a continuance. and
