MexiCanS.
The Victim PeaCeabIe Saloon
Keeper-His Assassin a Bad
Character.

SANTA ANA, CAL, June IA cold
blooded murder was perpetrated at the
old mission town OF San Juan Capistrano
last night, when Dolores Garcia, saloon
keeper, who has resided there for many
years, fell from bullet of an ambushed
assassin. Manuel Fellos, a determined
enemy of the murdered man, was arrested
a few minutes after the crime by Con-
stable 4. o. Pryor and brought to Santa
Ana this afternoon by Sheriff Nichols and
Deputy Sheriff Landeil.
Garcia was a Castilian, go years OF age
and the father of seven or eight Chi dren.
He married his second wife, Refugio Ser
rano, two years ago, had lived in Capis-
trano over twenty years and had the repu-
tation OF being an honest, peaceable citi-
zen. Felos is tall, sinister-Iooking half
Indian, with bushy black beard and gen.
eral repulsive appearance. He is fami-
liarly known at Capistrano as Mestiza, is
one of the best shots in the county and
once killed vaquero, being with the
Wild West show at the Midwinter Fair.
There has been bad blood between the
two Tor a long time, Fellos having fire.
quently thre atened Garcia, and about ten
months ago he struck Garcia over the head
with revolver, for which he was fined
$500 by Superior Judge Towner. Since
that time Garcia has never allowed him to
enter his house.
Last night about 9 o'clock as Garcia was
CLOSING his saloon a shot was fired from
directly across the street and rifle ball
entered the unfortunate mans month
passing out through the back of the head
killing him instantly. He fell backward
into the room, where his body was found
a few m inutes later by the crowd attracted
by the shot.
Shortly after the shooting Fellos an
peared at the house of Constanclon de
Cruz, across ravine from town, and said /:
"WeIl, l have killed Garcia-have lifted
HIM off the EARTH" He had his rife with
him and was advised by De Cruz to throw
it into a ravine where it was found this
morning with an empty shell in the barrel.
News of the murder spread through tn e
small hamlet like wildfire, and the m ior
portion of the population soon gathered
about the body of the dead man discuss
ing the startling affair. few minutes
after leaving De Cruzs place Fellos sud
denly rode into this throng and asked
what the trouble was. He had evidently
circled the town and had been drawn back
to the scene of his crime through nervous
ness or fascination. The general senti-
ment of the crowd had been that Fellos
was the murderer, and Constable Pryor
Immediately placed him under arrest. On
his saddle was found a box OF carlrid ges
purchased about o'clock at one of the
village stores.

NEW YORK, n. Y, June 1.-THE case
of Ensign Stone of the navy and Miss
Conde continues a subject of gossip.
The latest is that Miss Conde has wearied
of the naval officer and has written to
him, giving him his dismissal as her
suitor. This story is given on the au-
thority OF Rev. Dr. Hull
This case has attracted much attention
among navy and society people in New
York. Stone was in love with Miss Condo.
the daughter of SwIfts Conde, the million
aire wooden manufacturer of Oswego, n
Y, but his attentions were not relishsd
by the rest of the family
On the Goth OF Nav the girls father
sent telegram TO Secretary of the Navy
Long, in winch he asserted that Eusigns
Stone and OsbOurne and confederates,
who were probably naval officers, had
for four days under assumed names tried
to enter his house, causing sclndalous
newspaper stores and great personal an
noyance; and he asked that the depart
ment take steps to prevent a repetition OF
the trouble.
On the strength of this telegram the
department ordered an investigation bv
q court of inquiry. The court discovered
that Stone, personally, had not attempted q
10 enter the Conde house, but that
Osbourne, acting as his friend, had sue
ceeded IN en- ering it in order to COM
muncate. on Stones behalf, with Miss
Conde. The two ensigns were confined 10
their respective vessels until e report
had been made to the departm ent, which
took about about two weeks. Then, the
investigation having shown that there
had been no breach of naval rules, the
men were dis ischarged from custody.

weeks ago the supply was turned on
again with the authority of the Health
Department, and it was agreed to wait
till after the summer season before
taking any further steps III the water
problem. Thus, because the sentiments
OF the board were so thoroughly divided
between he different makes of filters
the boiler process, the spring water
schemes and so many others, a settle
ment seemed impossible. Last night the
buildings and grounds committee took
another turn at the water question, and
when Its labers were brought 10 an end a
settlement had been effected. 1t was set
tied that the two filter firms had put in
bids of almost equal price and had an
equal number OF supporters on the CON-
mlttee.
a compromise was then arranged. the
companies to divide the work evenly at
the rate of $8S.C00 TOR all the schools for
three years, the price being that of the
lowest bidder. The twenty schools or
dered equipped with boiling and cooling
apparatus are to be equipped as ordered,
but the filters will be placed in the re-
naming 800.

WAITSBURG, WASH, June 17.-Sheriff
Snyder has returned here from Walla
Walla after delivering Convict William
Windsor to Warden Catron. Windsor
jumped from the train while it was mov-
ing at the rate of thirty miles an hour
between Riparia and Starbuck. The des-
perate leap was made from the closet
window. The conductor and Sheriff were
standing close TO the door and the train
was Immediately stopped, but Windsor
succeeded in making his escape in the
darkness. When daylight came it was
discovered that Windsor had struck in
the loose sand by the side of the track,
bounded nine feet, made complete
somersault and struck again six feet
further on.
Windsor made his way before sunrise
UP over the ssndhills above Riparia and
was seen in the forenoon by some chill
dren lodging through the brush. In
deserted cabin were found three matches
and baking powder can of flour, which
were appropriated by the fugitive. His
bill of fare from l o'clock Sunday morn
ing until sundown Tuesday consisted of
one orange and such biscuits as he was
enabled to make from -four and water
by an open fire without a dish of any kind.
Windsor had walked to within three
miles of one of his friends when captured
by Sheriff Snyder in Whitman County.
Windsor has been arrested many times,
but has always got off without punish

burglary for which he is now ''doing
