Murdered in Cold Blood.

Francisco Padilla, Mexican about
36 years of age, who came to jerome
about week ago from Ash Fork, was
shot in the left breasts just above the
heart, and instantly killed last night.
The shooting occurred shortly after
O'Clock on Main street.
Padilla was formerly resident of
Yuma. Immediately after the shooting
Marshal Roberts was notified. Justice
ST. James took charge Of the corpse,
swore in coroners jury, viewed the
rer1iains and had the body conveyed to
the Jail. The jury went to the JUS
tice's office where Francisco Juardo and
Marshal Roberts were sworn, when the
jury adjourned to meet the following
morning at 10 o'clock.
Francisco Juardo testified that he saw
Francisco Padilla sitting on the porch
in front of the Bon-Ton restaurant and
Leandro Ruiz came along and called
him. They walked, off down the street
toget her and when about fifty feet away
|
heard a shot. He Immediately notified
Marshal Roberts and told him that he
saw man run up the hill after the
shot was fired.
I 1t is thought that Ruiz, the Mexicsn
who called the murdered man from Ill
front of the restaurant is the person
who did the shooting. Padilla had been
on a drunk Thursday with the woman
with whom Ruiz was living, and in his
jealousy Ruiz was living, and in his
jealousy Ruiz undoubtedly did the
shooting. At first it was reported that
Radflla had committed suicide, but on
examining the gun which was found in
his hand six loaded shells were found
III it. Ruiz is III hiding.
Marshal Roberts afterward captured
Ruiz and he was bound over to await
The action of the grand jury without
bdil.-News.

Inscriptions Deciphered.

The Hermosillo correspondent of the
associated press, under date OF June
9th, relates the following:
A rock recently discovered in the
mountains Of Magdalena district, state
Of Sonora, which Is covered with Chin
ese inscriptions, has just been visited
by Sen Yuep,a we'll educated Chinese
of Guaymas. He saysthe inscriptions
are Chinese, but are s6enewhat- lE6Is-
tinct.
He made q copy Of them and has
translated enough of the lines to show
that the writing was probably Inscribed
on the rock at least two thousand years
ago. There are ten lines Of characters
on the part of the rock III view, and
some of the lines may be still buried
under the earth. There are ancient
Chinese tombs aud monuments to the
norh b of Magdalenaj near the mining
camp of Jojoba. These have never been
ex plored.
Sen Yaep asserts that, in the history
of China, there is a tradition that an
exploring expedition, divided into
eighteen parties, landed on the western
coast of what is now Mexico overtwen-
ty centuries ago.

Notes Of the Game.

Oh, but that was SO nice.
Barlow improves in every game.
Rockland VS.. Augusta in City hall,
Wednesday.
Schofield, recently of Portland, was
GARDENERS substitute.
The same two teams play here again,
next Monday evening.
That first goal in 11.41 for Augusta
came awful hard, but it had to come
w. Broadbent arrived, yesterday, and
was on hand, ready to step in, if neces-
sary.
Previous to the game the Valley
team beat the Capital Citys by score
of to 0.
Perry is an Al player and a good
slayer, and kept at it through to the
end with great persistence.
Get back. and stay back said
Referee Long to Houghton. That S
business, oh, most righteous judge.
Gardiner played strong team work
game. and did some sharp passing. 1t
wasn't that they played the lesser
game, but Augusta the more.
night. was fine. He is afraid of moth
ing, and goes at his game with bust
ness like air that wins him the con-
fidence of the crowd.
Dawson was hurt in the second
period, but dragged himself together
and resumed-cheers from the crowd,
and one little rose was tossed his way
by lady in the balcony.
Foul on Long" sang out the crowd
in the first period, when he announced
by mistake one of Augustus goals as
Gardeners. He tried to look dignifed
over it. but his sunny sense of humor
got the better of him. and he smiled
all over
Hackett played better polo with less
unnecessary talk than it has been our
pleasure to get from him for some
time. There were no evidences of his
distracting the attention of players on
his own side by his everlasting chatter
u relief to all concerned.
Gardiner played hard game, and
with the exception of Houghton, put
up performance that was refreshing
~ free from unwarranted roughness.
It's the kind of game that people like
to see. when the polo part is not ham
dtcapped by players being pushed
all out of shape. tripped, etc. Again.
II is well, and long may it continue
here.
