MORELL AT SANTA BARBARA

A Spiritual Hedium Arrested.
Local Notes

SANTA BARBARA, Oct. 2.-Rumors
are afioat in this city to the effect that
Frank Morell. who was arrested here two
weeks ago and subsequently released by
Detective Goodman, was the right man
after all. A person ans wering his descrip-
ton is wanted IN Los Angeles on a
charge of burglary. He was traced as
far as Louisiana and when Morell. arrived
in Santa Barbara three weeks ago Depu-
ty Constable Peter Storm, after a thor
ough invstlgation became convinced that
he had located the guilty person. Morell
was arrested, the Los Angeles officers
we're notified and Mr.. Goodman came
here for the prisoner, but released him
before reaching Los Angeles on the
ground that he had found ne had the
wrong person. Two weeks have passed
and although prior to that time Morell
had rented a store to conduct small
business of fruit and cigars, he has not
returned and his present whereabouts
are unknown. A stock OF goods previ-
ously ordered by him arrived in due
time, but his continued absence rendered
sell the perishable portion ana re-ship
the rest to the Wholesale house from
which it was ordered. In the opinion OF
local officers letters found on his person
clearly establish the identity of the man
and it is further stated that he is under
suspicion for murder com mitted at New
Orleans.

Twenty of the Portuguese en-
ployes of Eva plantation stuck
Yesterday. They walked from the
district Of high percentage cane to
the city. A call was mace upon
Consul Canayarro. After hearing
their statement of grievance the
agent of the home Government
gave the men a lecture, which in
cluded some good advice and
told them to return to
their homes and work. They went
back on the train this afternoon,
apparently in good humor again
and satisfied that they had made a
bad break.
The trouble was all OH account
of DR.. Peterson. This will sur

clan, who know him as a quite

for the second time committed
some small oHense was ordered by

Jail. He Immediately claimed that
he was sick. DR.. Peterson pro-
nounced the man i'll a sound con-
dition. The prisoner appealed to
his countrymen and they struck on
bis behalf.
