SANFORD'S VICTIM DEAD.
ANTOINE VALDEZ SUCCUMBS TO
HIS INJURIES.
The Inquest Held at Santa Monica Last
EvenIng-Neither Blame or
Exoneration for
Sanford

Antoine Valdez, who was shot by John
Sanford at the Machsdo dairy, near
Ballona last Tuesday evening. died at s
O'Clock yesterday morning. Sanford was
Immediately brought to the county Jail
by Deputy Sheriff Meyers of Santa
Monica and booked for murder.
The shooting, it will be remembered,
was caused by row concerning horse.
Sanford, who is not over % years
OF age, went from Ballona to
the dairy to see Valdez about the
horse. The young man claims that
after some angry words between himself
and VALDEZ, the latter struck him with
the butt of whip. Sanford, to protect
himself, drew his revolver and fired two
shots, both of which took effect in the
body OF Valdez.
Sanford attempted to escape, but was
captured the next morning by Deputy
Sheriff Meyers. He was arraigned on q
charge OF assault with intent to commit
murder. Valdez riding to Santa Monica
to ewesr to the complaint. Sanford was
released on $500 bail.
When it was learned yesterday that
Valdez had died from the effect OF the
wounds, complaint charging Sanford
with murder was sworn out. Mr..
Meyers went to tne ranch and served
the warrant upon him yesterday morn
ing.
When informed of Valdez death San
ford seemed greatly agilated. He ex-
pressed great sorrow that the quarrel
should have resulted fatally, though
claiming sef-defense.
Even after being brought to the
county Jail, the young man would say
nothing about the shooting, except to
show that he took the matter greatly to
heart.
Henry I. Gage has been retained as
attorney for Sanford. His examination
will take place before Justics Willis at
Santa Monica next Monday morning.
Coroner Gates went to Santa Monica
last evening and held an inquest upon
the body of Valdez. There were seven
witnesses.
Deputy Sheriff Meyers testified to the
arrest, and said that Sanford told him
he was hit with blackenake whip In
the banda of Valdez.
DIR. Place testified to having held a
post mortem upon the body OF Valdez.
He substsntiated the ante-mortem state
ment of Valdez to Deputy District Attor-
Eey Davis.
The verdict WAS that Valdez came to
his death from a gunshot wound inflicted
by Sanford, but there was no blame nor
exoneration attached.

ADJUSTMENTS,

Los ANGELES THEATER.-Th Masked
Ball is one of the few adaptations from
the French, in which, in expunging
the Gallo saltinese, the writer's have
not cut out the wit as we'll. Enough of
the brightness and rare numor of the
authors, Messrs. Alexandra Bison and
Albert Care, is left to make the affair a
remarkably entertaining playa play
which isuprosrious often in its wild fun,
fun which keeps the audience one mo-
ment shouting with laughter, only the
next to more quietly enjoy the sharp
worldly wit OF the lines.
Mr.. Drew is not at his best in this
farce-like comedy, for the nicer part of
his art 10 rarely called on, but he ia
better than any other actor in the
country would be in his role of DR.. Blon-

cealment oil several weak constructive
points in the play.
1t is never pleasant to see woman
even assume intoxication, but Miss
Adams goes through her famous tipsy
scene in the second act with notable
grace and remarkable truth to nature.

men, whose business records, personal
habits and other qualifications for office
are above question.
The nomination of such men is the
surest means of reforming abuses, and
the surest way in which the convention
can work for the public interest.
The Express OF last evening expresses
the opinion that all the candidates who
will come before the convention are, so
far as it knows, worthy and well quail
flied, and justly entitled to the conf
dence of the party and people" IT such
is the case the convention is likely to
make no mistake.
OF course the Express article was pre-
pared with an eye singly to the advance
ment of the interests of the Republican
party. Colonel Dow is too honorable
a gentleman to make charges of such
grave import for the purpose of advanc-
ing the interests of any particular capdi
date before the coming county conven-
ton.

The Washington Star thinks the rapid
voyage of the V1gilant to England
augurs well for the yachts chances in
the international races which she has
crossed the Atlantic to compete in. 1t
has always been claimed by British
yachtsmen that American flyers were
not good sea boats, but comparison of
the ocean records is decidedly to the adj
vantage of the Yankee craft. The best
was that of the Sappho, an American
schooner, that sailed from Staten Island
to Queenstown in twelve days, nine
hours and thirty-four minutes. Com
parison with that feat, however. would
not in the present instance, be fair, for
the Vigilant is but "single-sticker. y
The Scotch cutter Thistle was the speedi-
est of all the. British yachts, so far as the
sea voyage was concerned, the return
trip from this country being made in
trifie more than seventeen days. The
Genesta never did better than twenty one
days; the Galatea needed twenty-nine
days; the Valkyrie came over in twenty
nine days and eighteen hours, and used
up more thanztwenty-eight days on the
return. Sailing two knots to every one of
the Valkyrie's, what may we not expect
of the Vigilant when she starts in to
race in earnest? But no matter what
happens, it is certain that the American
centreboard is decidedly ahead of the
British keel in waters and under condi-
tions where the keel has always been al
legged to be the superior.

The newspaper correspondents were thus
dealt with and Messrs. Havemeyer and
Searles are entitled to no more considera-

effect of compelling either the cores

One of the most commendable double
boycotts on record is that of the Social
lists and anarchists of Berlin against the
brewers, with return boycott of the
brewers against the Socialists and an
archists. The Socialists began it, and
the brewers, of course, retaliated. If
the anarchists and Socialists make an
honest fight many of them will soon
cease to be violent disturbers of the ex-
isting order of things, for they will drink
less beer, and becoming sober, will cease
to dream of anarchy and riot, because
a vast majority of such dreams are due
to an overload of malt liquor. During
the anarchist excitement in Chicago.
every meeting reported by the police was
found in or over a saloon. and at eyery
ono Of these gatherings the "cann was
circulated freely. Beer taken to excess
seems to have specific influence in the
the direction of anarchy and suicide.
Why it should have this dire effect
upon persons predisposed to pessimism
one can hardly explain, but statistics
support the proposition. The brewers
part in the boycott is peculiar one.
They cannot refuse to buy from the
anarchists because the anarchists
have nothing to sell. But they can
refuse to deliver beer to saloons
