MURDERED At MENDOCINO.
JOSEPH HAQQUIST CHARGED WITH

LIAM MCLEAN.
THE JAIL GUARDED TO PREVENT
THE ACCUSED BEING
LYNCHED.

MENDoCINo, March n.-Yesterday morn
ing at o'clock William Mclean, work
man in the Albion woods, was found muir
dered in front Of Gus Semmlers saloon in
this city. His person bore the marks of
three knife cuts, a small one on his left
wrist, deep cash a few inches from the
heart and another two inches behind the
left ear.
Aninquest was held by a CoroDer's jury,
which lasted from 10 A. NJ. until P NJ
The decision handed in by the jury was
that William Mclean met his death early
Sunday morning from the effects of knife
wound two inches back of the ear; that
Joseph Haqquist was the murderer. Haq-.
quist was Immediately arrested and landed
in jail.
Every precaution was taken last night
for fear of a party breaking into the Jail
and hanging the suspected man. Every
thing points to the fact that Haqquist is
the murderer. He is of quarrelsome dis
position when drunk, and Saturday even
ing while intoxicated had some trouble
with Mclean, and swore that he would
kill him before morning.
On inspecting Haqquist's house a great
quantity of blood was found on the floor
and also on MS cIOIheS. by many 1t is
thought that he induced Mclean to come
into his house, and after getting him in
committed the foul deed and then dragged
his body out in front of Semmler's saloon,
which is a short distance from his house.
Haqquist explains that the blood came on
the floor from a slight wound which he re-
ceived while in fight Saturday evening.
But this is hardly consistent in proportion
to the amount of blood found, and does
not account for the blood found on his
drawers, which were discovered in wash
tub since. The wound is under the left
eye. Haqquist viii have his hearing to-
morrow.

to marry them. They did not see the cap
tain to know him, having come in the
steerage. The story of the young people is
corroborated by party of three other pas
sengers, with whom they came from Ore
gon.
At San Francisco the boy heard before
landing of the story that had been tele-
graphed from Portland of his elopement
with the girl, and he decided not to allow
her to come on to San Jose with him. He
put her in charge of the officers and they
promised to take hor home on the return

of an estate valued at $4,000, not $50 600, as

is entirely without foundation. All the
