will arrive here on Friday next. Its

with thrilling adventures.
DR.. c. F. Shuey, Professor Schaeberle

NEWPORT BEACH MURDER
Peter Julian AsSassinated by a
Rival for the Affections
of a Girl.
Hacked to Death With a Hatcbet and
Razor While Sleeping in His
Cabin.

SANTA ANA, CAL, May 23.-The most
horrible butchery in the history of Orange
County was committed at Newport Beach
last night. Peter Julian, French fisher
man, was murdered in his cabin some
time after IL O'Clock by an unknown per-
son. The unfortunate man was evidently
attacked while in bed, the entire left side
of his head being cut to a pulp with a
hatchet, and his throat, hands and breast
slashed with razor. In all there were
thirty-one cuts and gashes on his head and
body.
This morning Joe Serey entered Julian's
cabin for some wine. The two had spent
the evening before at Serey's house at wine
and cards, Julian departing about II
O'Clock, considerably intoxicated. On en-
tering his friends house Serey found the
mutllated body of the murdered man on
the floor.
Sheriff Nichols and Coroner Clark were
telephoned for, and the former was soon
on the ground. Within an hour he had a
laborer, Antonio Saccochia, under guard
has the right man.
Julian had been courting Serey's
daughter, Jessie, and it had been known
for some time that Saccochia was madly
jealous. week ago he remarked that
Julian had better look out or he would do
MIN up. Little attention was paid to the
threat at that time, but it now appears
that Saccochia was terribly in earnest.
:, Julian was 80 years of age, and came to
Newport from San Pedro nine months
ago. de was a widower, with three chill

LOS ANGELES DEMOCRATS.
Railroad Forces Defeated at q Stormy
Meeting of the County Central
no1n,fffee

LOS ANGELES, Call, May 23.-Lookers-
on at the meeting OF the Los Angeles Coun-
ty Democratic Central Committee at Turner
Hall this afternoon saw one of the mos t
vociferous contests ever occurring in this
city. Such eulogistic and mplimentary
expressions as, You are an infamous
liar, Sit down, there, you contemp ptlble
cur" were common. AT one time free
fight seemed imminent. This was when
John w. Mitchell of Cahuenga at the close
of a long speech by Joseph Simons of Pas
adena in favor of precinct primaries, dur
ing which some complimentary allu-
sions were made to those "underlings who
wore the Southern Pacific collar" sprang
TO his feet and pointing an outstretched
hand toward Simons, said:
Il am not one OF those to be anathema-
tlZed by that cowardly villain"
Slmons, who was several feet distant
from Mitchell, made move as though to
attack the irale but diminutive lawyer
from the country. Twenty men were on
their feet in an instant. The room was
lammed, scores OF men standing ana yell
Ing at the top OF their voices, while Chair
man Stephens pounded table into kim
ding wood with big manZanita stick.
George Patton was the diplomatist of
the meeting, and in a manner earnest but
persuasive carried his points at every turn
against the railway contingent, headed by
Ramish, Mitchell and Arcade Depot
McCaffery. The final vote, however, was
very close, the precinct plan defeating
ward primaries by two votes only out of a
tolal OF eighty-four. After this the rail-
road workers left the hall and all went off
smoothly and amlcably.
The chief significance of the result is
that George S. Patton will be nominated
Tor Congress and for the second lime will
try conclusions with James McLachlan OF
Pasadena; and strong delegation will go
to the State Convention from Los Angeles
County in favor of a pronounced anti
funding resolution and a resolution in the
Congressional Convention OF the Sixth
District in favor of San Pedro harbor
appropriation only.
The time Tor the primaries was set for
Tuesday. June 2. The County Convention
will be held at Turner Hail on Saturday,
June Ii, commencing at 10 A. NJ.
