COLD-BLOODED MURDER
OF a Man Hired to Watch for Fruit
Thieves
Riddled With Shot While Attempting to
Perform His Duty-A Large Fam
lily Left in Destitution

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 23-For some time
past the Land and Town company has
missed large quantities of fruit from
it's orchard at Sixteenth street, National
City. The company hired John Patter-
son to watch the orchard, and last night
he entered upon his duties.
At s o'clock in the evening he was
found dying on Tenth avenue. When
found he was lying in wagon by the
roadside, two miles from the orchard.
He gave his name and Immediately ex-
pired.
The upper part of his body on exam
ination. showed it had been fairly rid
died with small shot. An investigation
at the orchard apparently established
the fact that the shooting was done
there, but by whom is not known.
1t is supposed that Patterson caught
thieves stealing oranges and jumped IN
to their wagon, that they shot him and
the horse ran away, CARRYING the
wounded man to the place where he was
found. The wagon and horse have been
identified as a rig stolen from Sam
Black in Telegraph canyon by two men,
They are supposed to have been Patter-
sons murderers. Their identity is un-
known. How Patterson came to get into
the wagon is. of course, matter of con-
lecture. 1t IS thought, however, that he
may have sought to get possession of the
rig to hold it until the men paid for the
oranges, or that when they showed fight
he jumped into the wagon and sought
to escape.
The murdered man was A years old.
He leaves widow and several children

M'KINLEY REACHES HOME
His Health Improved by the Few Days
Outing
The Politicians Lie in Wait to Press the
Claims of Various Candidates
for Cabinet Positions.

CANTON, Ohio, Dec. 23.-President-
elect Mckinley and Mrs. Mckinley, ac-
companied by Miss Duncan of Cleve-
land, Major McKinley's niece, and
others comprising the Chicago party
reached Canton this afternoon. They
left Chicago at 1880 Tuesday night, TAX
ing the slow train in order that Mrs
Mckinley might be disturbed as little as
possible. The president-elect and Mrs
Mckinley occupied the private car Of
Vice President Brooks, in which Major
Mckinley left Canton a week ago. Both
Major and Mrs. Mckinley were pleased
to get home. The trip seems to have
benefited both greatly, and they are en-
joying better health. The president
elect, Mrs. Mckinley and, maid were
driven directly to the Mckinley resi-
dence. Miss Duncan went to the home
of Mother Mckinley, where she will be a
guest over Christmas. A number of peo-
pie were at the train to meet the presi-
dent-elect and his wife.
Awaiting the arrival Of Major McKin-
ley were several distinguished men from
the west, including Secretary of State
Mcfarland of Iowa, A. c. Atkinson Of
Lincoln, Neb. The former said they
were there in no sense in a, personal
interest. Speaking of the sentiment in
his state in reference to having Senator
Allison member of Mckinley's cabi-
net, Mr.. Mcfarland said the people are
of one mind in that respect. but he, per-
sonally does not believe Senator Allison
would accept anything less than the
portfolio of secretary of state, If in
deed, he would take that.
Another man who was in the city wait
ing for an opportunity to call on Major
Mckinley was Ex-Governor Bradford
Prince of New York. A. P. Logan Of
Youngstown called soon after the Nc.

House
Mr.. Bryan's Lecture Tour Makes a Good
Start-The Silver Question Re-
ceives Little Attention.

ATLANTA Ga, Dec. 23-W. ]. Bryan
arrived in Atlanta last night from Chi
cago. At an early hour this morning he
was called on at the Kimball house by
Governor Atkinson and escorted to the
executive mansion, where he will remain
as the governors guest during his stay
in Atlanta. A large number of promi-
nent citizens called on him during the
morning, and shortly after noon he was
rendered a breakfast at the Kimball
house by the Young Mems Democratic
league. He will lecture tonight at the
Grand opera house on The Ancient Land
marks.
At breakfast Mr.. Bryan was well
coined by Governor Atkinson in behalf
of the state, by Mayor King on behalf
of the city and by Jack J. Spalding on
behalf of the league. To these ad-
dresses Mr.. Bryan responded briefly,
concluding the program.
Repeated calls were then made for
Secretary Hoke Smith, who was present
in response to a special invitation from
the league. Mr. Smith, in acknowl-
edging the calls, spoke pleasantly of Mr..
Bryan personally, while reiterating the
disagreement between them on the
financial issue.
Mr. Bryan made his first appearance
on the lecture platform at the Grand
opera house tonight. The house, which
seats 5000, was well filled. Mr.. Bryan was
cheered when he appeared. He spoke
for one hour on essential principles Of
good citizenship presenting his remarks
under the title of The Ancient Land
marks. AT the end, hundreds crowded
arond to shake his hand. Mr.. Bryan
referred to the silver questions only in
cidentally.

MAYFIELD, KY, Dec. 23.-Reports of
negroes organizing to take indiscrimin-
ate vengeance on the whites for the kill
ing of Jim Stone by whitecappers are
causing alarm. While the reports in
many cases are somewhat vague, belief
that they have some foundation is shown
by the fact that before Stone was killed
he and other negroes were unusually in
solent toward the white people and that
they went armed and omitted no occa-
sion to povoke quarrels with unarmed
whites. 1t was Jim Stones conspicuous
leadership in this sort of behavior that
caused his taking off by mob violence.
Mayfield has been, as 1t were, in state
of siege for two days. Everybody is
armed. Guards watch all the roads and
inspect all trains. This morning Jim
Sret, colored, was killed at the depot
because he would not halt when chal-
lenged.

killed by masked men, and Monday

BRADLEY IS WORRIED
FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. 23.-Govern-
or Bradley is evidently worried about the
recent frequent mob murders in Ken
lucky. In an interview tonight he de-
nounced the law breakers, the inefficien-
cy of local officers, and strongly inti-
mated that if requested, according to
Kentuckys peculiar law on the sub
ject he would offer big rewards without
number for members of the mobs. He
also raps the Legislature US a whole for
its failure to enact into law his late
recommenda tioas as to mobs.
WAR is ENDED
PADUCAH, Dec. 23.-The Mayfield
race war is at an end. Everything is
quiet. A mass meeting of both white
and colored people tonight came to an
understanding that peace should reign.
Mayfied is quiet tonight. Thirty depu-
tized policemen are patrolling the CITY,
There is nothing to be alarmed about

Opposition Organizing to the Loud Pos
tai Reform Bill

NEW YORK, Dec. pa meeting of
publishers and paper manufacturers was
held today for the purpose of taking
action against the Loud postal bill, now
pending in congress. 1t aims to take all
novels and periodicals. out of the sec

to eight cents. Among those represented

views, the Metropolitan magazine, the
Forum, Munsey's, McClures, Cosmo-
politan. Godey's, Petersons and the
North American Review.
A committee was appointed to work
against the bill, which was condemned
as ''reactionary in purpose and inimical
to the iterests of all publishers of peri
odicals and to the allied trades of paper
making, engraving, stereotyping, print
ing, binding. etc"
1t was declared it must throw out of
employment an enormous number of
persons now engaged in the production
of periodicals and in their delivery.
