SONORA JAIL TRAGEDY,
Rancher Randall's Body Found
Suspended From a Bar
in His Cell.
Grief Over the Killing of His Son
While Insane Drives Him to
Suicide.

STOCKTON, CAL, March 21.-Rhodes
B. Randall, the aged Sonora stockman
who yesterday shot his son, Hazard Ran
dali, in cold blood, will never face the bar
Of earthly justice, nor will ne be examined
as to his sanity. AT 7o'clock this morning
the cell in which Randall was confined at
Sonora was opened by the jailer in order
that the prisoner might be given his
breakfast. Randall was found hanging
from the bar in the window, dead. He
had passed his blanket around the bar and
then tied it around his throat. Then his
weight was thrown upon it, and he was
strangled to death.
The old man left no word for his family
and had evidently become sane enough to
realize the enormity of his crime and that
the shadow of the gallows hoyered over
him.
Randall shot his son yesterday morning
on his ranch, about four miles from La
Grange. The circumstances of the killing
indicate that the old man was insane. He
had for some time exhibited symptoms of
insanity and had been under the surveil-
lance of the members of his family. Yes
terday morning he took down his rife and
asked Hazard if he could go out hunting.
The young man advised him not to go,
whereupon Randall aimed his gun at his
son and pulled the trigger. The bullet
passed through the breast and out at the
back. Randall next turned his rifle on his
wife, but before he had time to fire John,
his elder son, disarmed him, not, however,
without first having desperate struggle
with the madman. He was bound with
ropes and brought to Sonora by Constable
Rouguet, who lodged him in the County
Jail on charge of murder. Hazard Ran
dali survived his wounds only five hours.

Two Non Union Men Fatally
Shot and a Bystander
Wounded.
MANY SKULLS WERE CRACKED.
The Battle Opened by Foundrymen
Who Went on Strike
Year Ago.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, March PA
serious labor riot, which resulted fatally
to one man and the injury of several
others, occurred here between 5 and 6
o'clock this evening on West Washington
street, the rioters keeping up running
fight for more than square and creating
intense excitement on the crowded thor
oughfares.
Nearly a year ago the employees of
Taylor & Chambers foundry went out on
strike on account of difference regarding
wages and since that time there has been
periodical trouble. The strikers were de-
termined that non-union men should not
work and the management WIS equally
determined to employ no other labor.
The strikers proved so aggressive when
non-union men were brought here from
Pittsburg and other Eastern cities that the
firm was compelled to place hunks in the
shops and serve its men with other needs
inside the works.
This evening when the men left the shop
upon them from the west and at the same
moment another crowd appeared on the
east, thus having them between two Sec
tions OF their enemies. With shout the
strikers attacked the non-union men with
clubs, stones and brickbats and a general
fight ensued.
While the men were thus struggling
with each other several pistol shots were
fired, and William Watson and Walker
Davis, non-union men, and Hooker Lee, 8
bystander, were shot. Lee received two
bullets in the neck, but neither of the
wounds is considered fatal. Watson was
shot in the thigh, the bone being shat
tered. The wound may prove fatal.
Davis was shot through the head, and
was taken to his home in dying con-
dition.
A number of the strikers were beaten
with stones and clubs and some badly bat
tered by the tin dinner-pails in the hands
of the employees. Several of the employees
were also beaten with stones and clubs,
but they scattered and ran when the
pistol-shots were fired. The full list of the
injured could not be secured. The police
finally quelled the riot.

PRESS COMMENT.
As to Wool.

The Optic has been an ardent advocate
of protection to American products in all
years past and is just as firm in that be-
lief to. day as ever, but protection will not
do it all. To those Republicans who car
see no other question in this campaign
but protection, and they are chiefly the
wool men, let US ask, how will protection
benefit the wool grower to the great ex-
tent expected When will he sell his
wool at that increased pricef Three
fourths of the wooden mills of this coun-
try are closed. They did not close be-
cause they had no protection, for the pro-
lection on the manufactured product is
as great now as it was under the McKin-
ley tariff. They are getting the wool for
less money than ever before. Does the
wool grower expect that if the manufac-
turer is compelled to pay 10 cents per
pound more for his wool that he will
Immediately open his mill? Far from
this. The conditions just now are favor
able for the manufacturer in 80 far as
tariff s concerned as he could expect, but
he has no sale for his product. The
great masses of the people upon whom
he depends to use his product have labor
to offer in exchange, but they have no
money. The medium of exchange has
been gradually drawn from the people at
large and placed in the hands of the few.
It was possible to do this with the gold
standard, but it would not have been
possible if the country had been on bi-
metallic basis. So if the wool grower
wants to get at the root of the evil he
must begin with the money question, get
the people to working for money, have
them buy goods that they need of their
merchant, have the merchant buy of the
manufacturer, and then the man ufacturer
can use the wool, and as soon as the de-
mand is made prices will go up. When
the demand is such that this country
needs foreign wool to supply the fac,
tories, then a protective tariff is of value;
until that time protection is fallacy.-

Democratic Call.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Sept. 3, 1896.-Where.
ma, at meeting of the Democratic terri
torial central committee, held in Las We
gas, on June Is, 1896, the city of Santa Fe
was selected as the place for the meeting
of a Democratic territorial convention
for the nomination of Democratic can
di6ate for delegate from New Mexico to
the 55th congress of the United States;
and
Whereas, The date of the holding of
said convention was left to be fixed by the
chairman and secretary of this committee
at such convenient time as would IN their
Judgment best serve the interests of the
party; and
Whereas, Said proposed convention was
authorized to be constituted, as to repre-
sentation from the various counties of the
territory, on the basis of one delegate for
each 100 votes cast for Antonio Joseph in
each of said counties at the last general
election and one additional delegate for
each fraction of 100 votes 80 cast amount
ing to fifty or more,
Now, therefore, by virtue of the author
ity in us so vested, a convention of the
Democratic party of New Mexico is here
by proclaimed to be held in the city Of
Santa Fe, at the hour Of l O'Clock p. M,
on the Goth day of September, A. D. 1896,
for the purpose of nominating Demo-
cratic candidate for delegate from New
Mexico to the 18th congress of the United
States and for the transaction of such
other business as may properly come be-
fore it related to that primary purpose.
According to the authorization of this
committee, at its said meeting, the appor-
tionment of delegates to said convention
from the various counties is as follows,
to wit:
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1896-09-22

-.
The county central committees of the
various counties are requested to call
county conventions for the election of the
designated number of delegates, accord
Ing to the rules and regulations govern
ing party practice, in the respective coun-
ties, and it is suggested that such conven-
tions and preliminary primaries be held
at such times as are convenient to the
party in the respective counties.
In those counties in which party inter-
ests have advised the holding of county
conventions prior to this call the dele
gates there selected to represent such
county in the proclaimed convention will
undoubtedly be held to have been duly
elected, according to the purpose of this
call.
In carrying out the instructions of the
committee, at its said meeting, all Dem
ocrats, and all those who intend to act with
the Democratic party on the leading
principles enunciated in its Chicago
platform, and especially on the great
declaration in favor of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver, are hereby in
vited to participate in the primaries, in
the respective counties, and in the pro.
posed territorial convention, if so it be
that they are chosen as representatives
Mt county conventions.
In view of the great issues involved in
the national campaign, now on, and of
the high and advanced ground taken by
the Democratic party in favor of the
restoration of the money of the common
people to it's constitutional place in the
financial policy of the nation; and, in
view, further, of the utter failure of the
Republican party to give the terri
tory an influential and useful delegate
in congress from New Mexico, it is
the hope of this committee that the
convention hereby called may be fully
attended and memorable gathering of
representative Democrats from every
county in the territory. To this end all
citizens of this territory, within the pur-
view of this call, are urged to take an
active interest in the preliminary steps
TO constitute said convention and in the
important work of the same.
