The Alleged Slayer of Mariana
Cuero Arrested at Los
Angeles.
Sheriff Nichols Makes the Capture
After Months of Dill
gent Inquiry.

SANTA ANA, CAL, Jan. 2.-Sheriff IF
Nichols of this county made an important
capture at Los Angeles Saturday night.
On the night of October Il, 1894, a Mexican
named Mariana Cuero was murdered on a
vacant lot at the corner OF Fourth and
Birch streets, in this city. He lived sew
eral hours after he had been attacked, but
could give no information to aid in identi-
flying the assassin other than that his as
sailant was an American.
Two brothers named Gleason, tourists
from ST. Louis, were eye-witnesses of the
affair and got a view of the murderer.
They returned home and Sheriff Nichols,
who was City Marshal at the time, learn
ing of their knowledge of the crime, cor
responded with them in regard to It for
some months. The Gleasons returned to
Los Angeles this winter and the Sheriff
through their aid located the murderer of
Cuero in that city. He is G. G. Southern
former resident of Newport. where he
farmed rented land. He was arrested
Saturday night and brought here tonight
and lodged in Jail awaiting preliminary
examination.
Southern figured in the courts on sew
eral occasions for disturbing the peace,
once for burglary and again for assaulting
man named Bolan, and is considered a
dangerous man. He takes his arrest very
coolly, but Sheriff Nichols is confident
that the evidence against him is conclusive.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Jan. 21.-A pecu-
liar and romantic case is being heard be-
fore Judge Logan of the Superior Court in
which 100 acres of valuable land near
Aptos is in controversy and descendants
of King George ~ are litigants.
Samuel M. Shortridge and Attorney Nc
Murray, the latter representing Gunnison,
Booth & Bartnett, appeared as counsel,
the former for the plaintiffs, the several
children of John S. Ord, who sues Ann E.
Ord for the recovery of deed to the prop
erty. The father of the plaintiffs is re-
puted grandson of King George.
When the King was the Prince of Wales
he married, and one of his offspring was
brought to America when a child by a
Captain Ord, who gave the child his name.
This boy learned his own history after he
had attained manhood, and was known as
James Ord. He became the father of ten
children, of which family John 5. and
William NJ. are here engaged in litigation.
Some years ago John gave a deed of
trust to William for his (John's) children.
The deed was never recorded, and later
William married Mrs. Ann E. Williams,
of whom he had borrowed money. giving
a mortage on the property in dispute,
which she foreclosed. Plaintiffs contend
that she had knowledge of the deed from
John to her husband.
The case has once been submitted and
was reopened by cross bill, which Judge
Logan to-day held should be only an
amended answer opposing plaintiffs de-
murrer. The case will come up for final
hearing next week.

Los ANGELES SHOOTING.
James Baths Jealousy Lead Almost to
Murder.

4uNfQeFs
LOS ANGELES, CAL, Jan. 21.-Jame
Bath is in a cell at the city Jail, charged
with assaulting his wife with intent to
commit murder. The alleged assault was
committed early yesterday morning.
Bath drew revolver and fired point blank
at his wife, the ball entering her left hand
between the thumb and forefnger.
Bath is a laborer and lived at 545 Ban
ming street. He had for some time past
been jealous of Mrs. Bath, and had threat
cred that he would shoot her. Whether
or not the wife gave her husband cause
for jealousy the neighbors do not seem to
know. Yesterday matters came to a
climax, when Bath attempted to kill his
wife with 44-caliber bullets.
After firing at the woman, he ran out of
the house and across the street to lumber
yard at Alameda and Jackson streets,
where he hid himself. Here he was found
by Officer Ricco and arrested. Mrs. Bath s
wound is not serious. She will swear to
the complaint upon which her husband
will be prosecuted.
Mrs. Bath this afternoon made a state
ment, in which she claims that when her
husband pointed the revolver at her she
grabbed it. Had it not been fol this the
bullet would have entered her body.

ternational clash occurred in Oroville this
morning, and Britain's colors, bravely
borne by Lord Sholto Douglas, the direct
descendant of BLACK Douglas and of
Lord James Douglas, who took the heart
of King Bruce of Scotland in silver casket
TO the Holy Land, were trailed in the dust.
When the smoke of battle cleared away
the eagle and the lion were led meekly
enough to police court to be unleashed
again after satisfactory explanations had
been made to his Honor
The collision occurred at 8 go o'clock this
morning, as the result of feud originat-
ing in Oroville last night, when Lord
Douglas and his theatrical company gave
performance.
Petite Lady Douglas sang several songs
which seemingly did not please the noble
ear of his lordslip, and while the Orovile
orchestra of five pieces professor Barr,
leader) was playing its sweetest strains the
Douglas stepped before the footlights and
apologized for Mrs. Shotos poor singing,
declaring that she could not render the
proper kind of melody when accompanied
by such music as Oroville furnished.
Now, if there is anything Professor Barr
is proud OF 1t is his orchestra, and such a
reflection as was cast upon it could not go
unnoticed. Calming himself, however,
the baton-wielder resolved to sleep over
| the matter, but this did not remove the
desire for gore which the Englishman's
insult had aroused. Barr concluded he
must have satisfaction, and this morning
be met Lord Sholto and submitted an ulti-
matum. 1t was, in effect, that an apology
must be made within three minutes or
British blood would flow.
The Douglas were never accused of
cowardice. Shoto himself has a little
more backbone than his appearance in

DEMANDS BIG D4MAGEs,
A Suit That Threatens the Beet-Su1ar In,
dlLst1u of the Stnte.

dustTy of the State.
SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Jan. 21-A case of
great interest TO this county, and incident
ally of vast concern to the State, occupied
Judge Logan's department of the Superior
Court to-day. Samuel NJ. Shortridge ap-
peared as counsel for the defendant the
Western Beet Sugar Company, whose fac
tory is located at Watsonville.
The company is being sued by Jane
Struve, represented by City Attorney Cas-
sin of Santa Cruz, for 1000 damages and
an injunction against the dumping of pulp
from the factory. Mr.. Shortridge pre-
sented demurrer this afternoon to the
defective complaint, and the court sus-
tanned it, requiring the plaintiff to amend
the defects.
The story OF the case is that the plaintiff
has a piece of land adjoinin the property
of the sugar factory and claims that he is
being damaged by the operation of the
factory. The dumpage is on the laid
owned by the Western Beet Sugar Com
pany and is as necessary to the making
of sugar as the raising and grinding of the
beets.
Should the plaintiff maintain his suit at
law the county must be deprived of the
large industry provided in the raising OF
sugar beets and the manufacturing inter
ests of Watsonville be greatly retarded.
Having provided its own land on which to
dump the pulp from its factory the de-
fendant company desires only that it shall
be left alone to continue the industry.
1t is said here that Struve puts high
price on the damages he alleges to have
sustained. Mr.. Shortridge said to-day
that if Claus Spreckels and others engaged
in the industry must pay $4,000 to all
their neighbors and stop dumping the
pulp from their factories, the beet sugar
industry would soon be dead in California.

Laughlin, the Philadelphia billiard player,
at the shorstop tournament defeated Joseph
Capron, the Canadian, this afternoon IN
brilliant game, scoring 400 to Capron's
217. The loser did not do as well as last
night, and his form indicates he will not
be one of the purse-winners. McLaughlir,
however, surprised the spectators with his
performance.
Neither of the players made much of
showing at the start, except for Capron's s
high run of 81, which kept him ahead of
Mclaughlin until the tenth inning. The
quiet, careful Philadelphia reserved his
strength and skill to the last three innings,
when he made 228 caroms by careful posi-
ton play across the table and at the foot.
He also distinguished himself by scoring
the high run OF the tournament so far, Ia,
missing a long single-cushion shot. His
nursing of the ivories was superb. Score:

BY IDLE MEN.
Lively Experience at the Chicago

way Station.
Those Who Could Not Secure Employ
ment Threw Bricks, Kissed
and Howled.

CHICAGO. ILL. Jan. 21.-Several hun
dred tramps besieged the Chicago and
Grand Trunk railway station at Forty
niLth and Halstead streets yesterday.
They had congregated in the expectation
of being taken to Fish Lake, Ind, to
work on the icefields of packing firm.
The story had gone around among all
the tranlps at the police stations and
railroad yards in Chicago that the packers
were in urgent need of what men they
could secure for harvesting their ice and
would pay 81 a day wages and furnish
board and free ride to Fish Lake. So
the men gathered at Forty-ninth and
Halstead at an early hour.
But when Foreman Burnam of the COM
pany appeared and said that owing to the
warm weather only twenty-five men would
be taken the crowd of hungry, disap-
pointed men became an angry mob. They
hooted the foreman, threw bricks at the
station, broke part of the partition inside
the building and shattered the south
windows.
A call was sent to the Harrison-street
station for patrol wagon load of police
men. but the officers at the station misun-
derstood the situation and no help was
was sent. Detective Aaron Levy of the
Gland Trunk Railway and Agent Weeks
stood the mob off with revolyers, and
finally succeeded in picking out twenty
five men, who were furnished with tickets
and started on their way rejoicing.
AS the train pulled out at 800 o'clock
the mob threw bricks and Missed and
howled. They loitered in the vicinity for
some time, and did not leave until Agent
Weeks told them more men would be
needed at Fish Lake as soon as the weather
became colder, and unless they went at
once they would not be taken next time.
