Harvey Morgan Murders His
Brother
And THEN COMMITS SUICIDE.
Two Lives Sacrificed During a Quarrel
Over Cooking.
THE TERRIBLE TRAGEDY on A RANCH.
Infatuated by Blows the Fratricide PursueS
His Victim and Is Needless of
Pleas for Mercy.

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 18.-About A. NJ. to-
day Harvey Morgan, aged q years, shot
and killed his brother, Monroe Morgan,
aged % years, at point little east of the
treeport road, about an hours drive from
Sacramento.
The charge in the fratricide's gun blew
the top OF his brothers. head off. Then he
walked into his room and killed himself
with the same weapon. The young men
were ranchers, and they had quarrel this
morning about who should cook the break
fast.
The crime is one of the most horrible
ever committed in this county. The only
witness to the murder was George G,
Baumgartel, young man living near
Freeport, who spent last night at the house
of the Morgans. The three men arose at
6 oclock this morning. Since the death of
their parents the two Morgan brothers have
been running the ranch and maintaining
what they termed bachelors hall,
neither being married nor having any
woman employed about the house. They
took turns at cooking the meals.
This morning dispute arose as to (Which
of the brothers should do the cooking of
breakfast. The controversy grew some
what acrimonious and some bad language
was passed. Finally Harvey went to his
room, evidently determined that he would
not enter the kitchen to make the fire
Monroe called after him some hard names
and then went into the room and struck
him several blows in the face. Monroe
Morgan then repaired to his own room
while Harvey, the brother, completed his
attire.
Smarting under the insult which his
brother had inflicted upon him within the
hearing of the visitor, Harvey took down
his repeating shotgun and walked out into
the yard, the weapon resting upon his arm.
Monroe saw the ominous move. Turning
to Baumgartel he said: ''Stop him, for
Gods sake. He's going to kill me-"
Baumgartel walked to the open door and
pleaded with Harvey to put his gun up.
Harvey answered in tones of angry warn
ing: "You go back into the house, Baum
CARTEL. There isn't room enough for you
out here"
Monroe finally tried to escape across a
field. Running to where he could see his
brother trying to cross the fence, Harvey
raised his gun, took aim and fired. The
shot scattered, some of the missiles striking
the mark. But Monroe was not disabled,
and crossing the fence he made across the
field, his brother still in pursuit.
Finding that he could not go much
farther with his wounds, Monroe turned
and with his gun in his left hand appraised
his right, as a token of surrender. "For
Christ's sake, Harvey, don't kill me-" he
pleaded, again and again.
Not needing the plea for mercy, Harvey
shot the second time and Monroe fell to
the ground. When the body was picked
up from the field fragments of the skull
were scattered all about, while the brain
matter was mixing itself with the moist
earth. Harvey then entered the house and
shot the top of his own head Off

TAYLOR GOT THE MONEY.
An Action in San Jose Connected
With His Flight.
Interesting Story Beneath Proceedings
to Compel a RecOnVeyanCe Of
Lots at Morgan Hill.

SAN JOSE, Jan. 18.-An action was insti-
tuted in the Superior Court to-day for the
reconveyance of piece of land which has
connected with it the story of the failure
of bank and the flight of the president,
State Treasurer Taylor Of South Dakota,
with the booty. c. H. Phillips appears as
the plaintiff in the suit and Charles n.
Smith is made defendant. Judgment is
asked that a deed to lots SO and 90 at Nor
gan Hill be declared void, also to recover
STAG s. from the defendant which plain
tiff claims was given to defendant without
any valued consideration. Smith gave a
draft on the Redfield Bank for the amount
and was given deed to the land and cash
The draft was forwarded to New York for
collection, but when it arrived the Redfield
Bank had closed.
Smith refused to reconvey the land on
the ground that he had the amount of
money in the Redfield bank and it had not
closed at the time the draft was issued.
Smith bought ten acres of land at Morgan
Hill from 7. S. Montgomery, the agent,
and rendered in payment draft on the
Chase National Bank of New York for
$1416 50, drawn by the Redheld bank of
South Dakota. By the agreement Smith
was to pay $500 for the land. Mr. Mont
gomery looked at the draft, and, being
convinced of its genUineness, accepted it in
payment. Before Smith left for Morgan
Hill that day he gave instructions to take
out of the draft the purchase price of the
land, bring 500 in cash and the deed to
him at Morgan Hill and to deposit the bal
ance of the draft in bank to his credit and
forward him certificate of deposit. This
was done, Montgomery indorsing the draft
at the Garden City Bank January 8.
That day the Redfeld bank closed its
doors. Thursday night, when he learned
the draft was dishonored, Montgomery
drove to Morgan Hill, where he met Smith.
He explained the course affairs had taken
and stated he would have to make good to
the bank the amount of the draft and
asked that he reconvey the land to Mr.
Smith declined to do this, giving
as his reasons that he had that amount
deposited in the South Dakota bank and
the draft was given in good faith and was
worth its face value at the time it was pre-
sented. He also wished to consult an
about the matter. AS a result
the suit was commenced and a lis pendens
filed against the property. The wrecked
bank was the institution of which State
Treasurer Taylor was president. He fed a
short time ago, and according to tele-
graphic accounts his defalcation was $685.
