Base Ball.

Last Thursday was big day for base
ball in Edinburg. Two clubs from Wood
stock, the Kids" composed of small boys,
and the Climax" composed of young
men, went up to cross bats with the two
clubs of the progressive little city on the
banks OF Stony Greek. The first game.
which vas played in the forenoon, was
between the kids and what is called the
small boys Of Edinburg, although three or
four players from the big club were with
them and were thus pitted against the
game little bantams of The "kids." Now
1t is pretty well known that these same
"kids" play ball for all that Is in it, never
get discouraged, loose their heads or be-.

game they swiped up our young friends
of Edinburg chip and thigh in the Val.

IL to in their favor. although 1t cannot
be denied that the Ednburg boys played
a mighty good game, and, as one Of the
"kids" said. "just kept us walking mighty
proper all through the game"
In the afternoon the big boys Of the
"Cllmax" went on the field with the
smile Of victory shining on their pretty
faces like unto the glorious beauties Of
the evening sunset. But never did tickle
fortune prove more unkind. The light

had grown tired and careless 50 that the
game closed with score of 10 to in Their

Their Description.

A Mexican Sees Two Men Answering
Their Description.
SAN DIEGO, Jan. 23.-Zanzueta An
selmo. Mexican living at Vale de las
Palmas, arrived in San Diego to-day and
told of having met two men of suspicious
appearance at Carrisso Creek, in Lower
California, yesterday afternoon. Their
heavy arms attracted his notice, and he
described in detail the men and team,
who were undoubtedly the same OBJ
served by School master Ross .at Keye's
Canyon last Thursday.
The men were watering their horse, and
watched him narrowly as he passed, but
nothing was said to him. They had four
guns and wore cartridge belts, while An
selmo observed that each carried a heavy
revolver. One had black beard and had
lost an eye and the lower portion of the
left arm. The other was younger, but
both ragged and dirty.
He had heard nothing of Evans and
Morrell being headed south and knew
but little about them at all. Being un-
able to read, all information regarding
the desperate he had gained from hear
say. The officers here are convinced
that these are the Fresno fugitives and
will send posse to assist the Mexican
officers in running them down. Detective
Sam Black, who was shot by Evans at
Sampson Flat last summer, having re-
covered from his wounds, will head the
posse.
Morrell formerly lived in this city,
where he passed under the name of Ed
Martin, which is believed to be his true
name. Being familiar with this section.
he would be able to avoid the more trav
eled roads, and no doubt is entertained
that the men are those wanted at Fresno.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY,
ENACTED ON A FARM NEAR PETA-
LUNA.
Frank Meagher and His Wife Shot by
an Assassin-The Woman In
stantly Killed.
Special to the REcoRD-UN1oN.


PETALUMA, Jan. 23.-At 9:30 o'clock
this morning two ranchers drove into
town and notified the officials that Frank
Meagher, who lives on Willow ranch, one
and one-half miles from town, was dying
from a gunshot wound and his wife had
been instantly killed by some party un-
known. Officials and physicians at once
started for The scene. The sight that met
their gaze was sickening and CHASTITY be-
yond description.
There are two houses on the ranch-one
fine modern, handsomely furnished
residence. The other is an old house,
which the family live in a portion of the
time, and in which Mrs. Meagher was
shot. In the kitchen, partly reclining on
the floor and against the lounge, lay her
body, her clothing saturated with blood
Mrs. Meagher was cold in death. In the
back room, lying in bed, we'll covered
with clothes, lay her husband, moaning
feebly, with a CHASTITY wound in the back
OF his head, showing where he had been
wounded. The physicians at once exam
ined him and removed several shot from
his jaw and mouth, and his serious in
iuries were dressed.
In the meantime the body of Mrs.
Meagher was placed on a table and it
was found that the entire charge of a
shotgun loaded with mixed shot had
struck her squarely in the right temple
at close range, tearing gbastly hole in
her head.
From indications Meagher had been
slit ng on chair in the kitchen reading
a book. He had his back to the window
and his wife was at a table beside him
engaged in making bread. The assassin
crept up in front of the house until about
within fifteen feet of the window, when,
kneeling, fired the shot, striking
Meagher, who no doubt fell back in the
chair stunned. the book falling at his
feet. Mrs. Meagher, who was stone
blind. terrified by the gun report, evil
IDENTIFY CROPPED her way through the door
into the adjoining room and endeavored
to open the door leading to the front
porch, and as she opened this the mur-
derer pol1ed the deadly weapon against
her head, fired and she fell dead. A
large pool of blood remains to tell the
tale.
Meagher evidently dragged himself to
the bed in the back room and renamed
there until discovered this morning. The
theory advanced by the officers is that
Meagher, who is man of fine physique,
might have easily wandered around while
ont of his mind and in this way ac
count for several trails of blood in the
house and the finding OF him in bed.
The tracks OF the murderer were
plainly visible outside of the house and
nroyed by the officers. Two panes of
glass were broken by the first shot, which
hit the husband, and half of the charge
lodged in the window sash and halfin the
wall.
Great excitement prevails in this city,
and large knots of citizens are discussing
and describing the horrible affair. There
is no clew to the perpetrator. unless it is
the marks of No. 10 rubber boot just
where the shooter stood.
The inquest will be held tomorrow.

John Dodd, about one mile south of here,

all their furniture, clothing, etc. Some

rain falling, which doubtless saved the
dairy buildings and barns, which are
valuable, with their contents. The loss
is partly covered by insurance.
