NINE DISASTER At HEDGES.
Four Men Reported Killed and From
Three to Twenty Injured BY
Emulsion or Cave

YUMA, ARIz, Dec. 10.-Rumors OF
terrible disaster in the mines of the Golden
Cross Mining and Milling Company at
Hedges, fifteen miles from here IN San
Diego County, California, have reached
this town, and physicians have been sum-
moned to attend the injured.
Reports are conflicting and nothing very
definite can be learned, but the most con-
sentative reports place the number OF dead
at four and the injured at from three to
twenty. 1t is said that four MINERS are
entombed in the bottom of the Queen, the
principal mine of the group, and there Is
no hope for their escape.
Two or three men came in from the
mines at late hour tonight. but even
their reports conflict and the true state OF
affairs will not be known before to-mor-
row. It seems certain, however, that a
deplorable disaster has occurred and the
only thing that remains in doubt is its
extent.
Several frame buildings standing close
to the Queen mine are known to have
burned, which would seem to indicate an
explosion, but that is merely theory,
and as it has been known Tor some time
that this mine was in a dangerous condl-
ton and liable TO cave at any moment it
is more than likely that the accident oc-

Judge Low Sentences Him to Pay a
Fine of Fifty Dollars.
Wyatt carp, the gun-fghter, was fined
$50 by Judge Low yesterday for carrying
a concealed weapon, the alternative being
twenty five days in the County Jail. The
case attracted large crowd, standing
room in the courtroom being at q
premium.
Captain Whitman testified to taking the
revolver from carp while he was in the
prize ring at the Pavilion. He knew that
carp was not an officer of the law and did
not have a permit to carry revolver. He
also knew that carp had been residing in
the City for the past four years.
carp said he lived at 1904 Golden Gate
avenue and had been resident of this
City for four years. He was horseman.
Previous to that he was a sporting man,
and previous TO that he was United
States Marshal in Arizona, New Mexico
and Colorado.

Attorney Hardesty testified that he had
known carp for fifteen or sixteen years,
when he was an officer of the law in
Arizona. He was quiet, inoffensive man
and first-class officer.
Judge Low said there was no doubt carp
had violated the law, and be had no alter
native but to impose sentence upon him.
He deprecated the fact that the law should
leave no discretionary power in the hands
of the Judge. He would infiict the lowest
penalty. $50, with the alternative of
twenty-five days in the County Jail.
carp had $50 bail money up and he told
the clerk of the court to keep 1t in pay
ment of his fine. He then walked out of

PEK1Ls OF IN AMERICAN.
Claims That HIS Life IL Threatened by
Mexican Officials.

SAN DIEGO. CAL, Dec. 10-Another
American citizen is in trouble in Mexico.
and the State Department will be called
upon to assist him. So far as can be ascer-
tanned, it is grave case, indicating a con-
spiracy to do away with Carlos Miller, a
prosperous merchant of Cuanipilapam, in
The State of Guerrero. Miller is an
American citizen, though he has lived in
Mexico for twenty-five years.
He was arrested on December in the
City of Mexico and was held in Belem
prison until released on habeas corpus
proceedings, which it is said were favor
ably decided through the Intervention of
the Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Hon. Ignacio Mariscal. Miller is charged
with the murder of Engineer Eduardo
Zepeda at Ometepec, Guerrero. The au-
'thorities Of Ometepec had demanded Mil
Ter from the authorities of the capital city
and meantime application had been made
TO Minister Ransom for interference on
the part of the American Government.
Miller says a number of his enemies in
the State of Guerrero have banded to-
gether to do away with him. He claims
that a number of ass2ssins were hired to
Law in wait for him at Putla, village of
Oaxaca, on the road to Ometepec, with
orders to kill him when he passed by, and
to tell the story that he had tried to escape
from the officers.

MURDER IN THE
I MEXICAN ARMY
Major Alvarado Is Slain
by a Subordinate
Officer.
The Deed Committed While the
Latter Is Being Court
Martialed.
Great Excitement Among the Soldiers
and an Outbreak Is Narrowly
Averted.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Dec. 1o.-By the
steamer Pacheco, which arrived from the
south to-day, news was received of the
murder of Major Tomas AIvarado of
the Twelfth Infantry, stationed at TORN.
His slayer was Captain Vicente Gotta, de-
scendant Of a famous family in Mexico.
Captain Gotta had been undergoing a
court-martial for alleged characterization,
the charges being preferred by Major Alva-
RADIO.
The superior officer alleged that on q
short campaign against the Yaquis Cap
AaIn Gotta was insubordinate on several
occasions. refusing to go over a certain
butte on sthe way to the Sierra Bocatete,
khiling to detail certain men as ordered
for special duty, and using language
toward his superior both in defiance of
orders and in an insulting manner.
Gotta was furious when he learned of
these charges. He was Kept closely
guarded during the progress of the court
martial with two soldiers at either
from him. But after several days
of such vigilance the guards be-
came careless, and Gotta, seizing favor
able moment, snatched one of the car
bines and leveled it at Major Alvarado,
who was not ten feet distance.
The shot took effect in the breast and
neck. killing the victim instantly. The
guards bounced upon Gotta and dubbed
him upon the head with their carbines,
iniuring him severely. Great excitement
was caused in the Quartet among the
soldiers, and it was with great difficulty
that an outbreak was avoided, as Gotta is
very popular among the soldiers.
The captain, who now faces execution
by shooting, is q son of the famous Don
Clodomiro Gotta, lieutenant of General
Marquee in many battles during the
French occupation.

EARP'S STRAIGHT TIP.
How He Tried to FIX Horse Race
and Throw Down His
Friends.

How He Tried to Fix Horse Race
and Throw Down His
Friends.
The following incident in which Wyatt
carp, the referee of the recent Sharkey-
Fitzsmmons fight, figures, and which by
no means rebounds to his credit, is we'll
remembered by many San Diegans.
The Fifth of May is day religously
observed by all patriotic Mexicans and
one gleefully LIBERATED, because it is the
anniversary of the battle of Saragosse,
when, in their struggle for Independence,
they overthrow the French forces and
gained liberty and equality.
1t is the custom of the country to hold
horse races and athletic sports of all kinds
on this day. together with feasts and
dances. In the year 1880, when the ami
versary of the battle of Saragossa APP
preached, the Mexicans and Americans
who lived in the neighborhood Of Sempre-
viva, which is on the border, about ten
miles east of Tia Juana, made great prep
arations for its observance.
One OF the American residents of the
place, Harvey Mccarthy, had a fine bay
horse, whose beauty and speed were the
pride of the border. This animal was es-
pecially admired by the Mexicans, who
claimed that it could outdistance any
other beast around the neigh borhood in
straight-away race.
One of the neigh boring American ranch
ers, however, owned handsome roam
horse, which he claimed could show
clean pair of heels to the bay whenever
and wherever desired.
The feeling OF rivalry between the two
men at last became so strong that it was
decided 10 have fair trial of their horses
speed, and this trial. it was arranged,
should be the principal event taxing
place on the Mexican anniversary.
Both horses were matched in half mile
dash for purse OF $500.
AS the day for the race approached the
excitement on both sides ran high, and
the Mexicans when their money gave
out, brought their horses and cattle and
pledged them on the bay animal against
the gold of the Americans.
Wyatt carp was in the neigh borhood at
the time and took a great interest in the
coming race. He went among his Ameri-
can trends and told them to bet all their
money on the roam horse, aging he had
arranged with the owner of the bay to
pull his animal, and that they would all
win big money by taking his advice.
The Americans almost to man fol-
lowed Earp's advice and took up every
bet. they could obtain, in many instances
giving big odds.
On the day OF the race just before it was
called carp went TO Mccarthy. the owner
of the bay horse, asked him to have it
pulled and offered him half the stakes if
he would throw the race in favor of the
Americans.
This Mccarthy refused to do point blank,
and then, fearing that his jockey had been
tempered with, went our to where the
horses were on the track and discharged
him. He put another man in the saddle,
and remained with the horse until the
race was called.
At the start the roam had slight advan-
tage, but the bay crept slowly up, and at
the quarter both horses were neck and
neck. Then the bay began to draw ahead

and flashed under the wire winner by a

immense excitement followed, and the
Americans, who quickly discovered that
carp had never had any tip on the result
and had deliberately thrown his friends,
became crazy with rage. Knives and pis-
tolls quickly made their appearance, and
but for the fact that Mccarthy. who was a
deputy sheriff, stepped in and protected
carp, he would have lost his Ii then and
there.
The matter was eventually arranged,
and the Americans settled their bets like
men, but they still remained very sore at
carp, who, finding things decidedly too
warm for him, disappeared that night,
and has never been seen in that part of
the country since.
This is a slight and fully authentic sam
pie of Wyatt Earp's squareness from a
sporting point of view.
