SAN BERNARDINO

SAN BERNARDINO,M ay1S.--A muir
der was committed in Calico, a mining
camp on the desert Saturday night, e.
| Scallard killing a man named Roland.
The first intimation of the tragedy
was yesterday morning when Assistant
District Attorney Sprecher received
telegram announcing the killing and
| asking that the coroner sheriff and dis
trict attorneys offices be represented
there at once. The telegram came from
Justice Gregory and also stated that
there was no officer at Calico to make
an arrest, the constable having recently
| resigned, but Mr.. Sprecher at once re-
piled that any citizen could make an
arrest.
Coroner Heating, Deputy District At
torney Rolfe and Harry Lantz left for
Calico by the first train, while Sheriff
Holcomb sent word to his deputy at
Daggett to act. The party arrived at
Calico late in the afternoon and pro-
ceeded at once with the inquest, the
result of 1t being that Seallard is charg-
ed with murder. A telegram received
from Mr.. T,olfe during the morning an
nounced this result, along with the in
formation that the prisoner was in GUS
tody of Asa Green of Barstow and that
the whole party would start for this city
today.
But little of the details of the crime
can be learned. 1t is reported that the
murdered man was new man in the
camp and went into one of the gambling
houses. where the difficulty arose which
ended in his death. The report was
brought in from the desert today.
A HIGH CHURCH CEREMONY
The most important Episcopal church
ceremony ever held in this city occurred
yesterday when Rev. II. A. Brown was
raised to the priesthood. the ordination
being performed by Bishop Joseph II.
johnson, assisted by Rev. Dean Trew
OF Los Angeles.
ST. Johns Episcopal church could not
accommodate the throng which came
yesterday morning to witness the cere-
monies.
The service was an entire change from
the usual order. The splendid chorus
choir opened with re Deum, following
which Bishop johnson announced his
text, and began to preach. The subject
of his sermon was The Work of the
Ministry, founded from the words of 1
Cor, 4:5 For we preach not ourselves,
but Christ Jesus the Lord: and ourselves
your servants for Jesus saks."
And 1t was a sermon addressed quite
as much to the laity as to the candidate
who was soon to be raised to the full
rank of priesthood The bishop re-
viewed the history of the position held
in the church by the clergy from the
earliest times, paying particular atten-
ton to the way In which the precepts
were regarded and should be regarded
by the laymen, and his sermon was full
of instruction for the latter.
Then followed his solemn charge to
the candidate for ordination and the pre-
Sentatfon by Dean Trew, the questions
and the answers by which the VOWS were
made anew; the laying on of hands by
which is communicated the authority
given originally by the apostles; and the
investing of the newly made priest with
the stole, and other insignia of his office.

rendered by a choir of twenty voices,
under the direction of G. e. Percy. The
music had been specially prepared, and
the manner in which it was rendered
added much to the beauty of the service.
