Latz & Bro of Magdalena, State of Sonora. which is well known in the commercial circles of New York, San Francisco and Hamburg. He has been mayor of the city of Magdalena, depu- ty governor of that portion of Sonora, fiscal agent of the Federal and State governments, and enjoys the conh- dence and friendship of the pest peo- pie in that part of Mexico. He be- came a citizen of Mexico in order to marry Donna Anita, the belle of Mag dalena.
 Twelve years ago Gen. Warner r. Sutton of Washington D. C., for ten years Consul-General to Mexico, met Fereber and bcame interested in his career. It was through his efforts thai Eereber's innocence was established and pardon obtained for him. fere' Der, who is in ill health, and now about 50 years of age, isalready on his way to New Orleans for medical treat ment.

A southerner.s Bravery.

During the civil war there was not a
more rabid secessionist or q more popu-
lar man in California than Charlie Fair
fax, Virginian, and direct descendant
Of Lord Fairfax" said City Attorney
Creswell yesterday. HE was a man OF
such undoubted courage, such scrupu-
lous honesty and such distinguished
courtesy that his violent prejudices
against the north were forgiven before
they were expressed, and his open de-
carnations OF disloyalty forgotten as
soon as spoken.
while the clerk of the Supreme Court
in Sacramento he engaged in an alter
cation with a man named Whitcomb
Lee. Without warning Lee drew "a
sword cane and made a lunge at Fair
fax. The keen blade penetrated HIS alb
domen a couple Of inches before he
could seize II. Fairfax held the blade
with his left hand while he whipped out
a revolver with his right, and with the
sword still In the wound he leveled HIS
pistol at Lees head and said in the cool
est tone:
DRAW that sword and put Il up. I
would kill you, but no man shall ever
say that Charlie Fairfax made a woman
widow and children fatherless.' -
