SAN DIEGO, April 26.-JeSse Daley,
| mulatto, murdered his paramour Ida Ira
ceyI half-breed Indian, this morning in
one of the rear rooms of a saloon in the
tenderloin district of this city and then
shot himself with the same gun. The muir
der was premeditated and is believed to
be due to fit of jealousy. Daley was a
janitor in the saloon and just after he fin
ished his work this morning at half past
eight, loaded 45-caliber pistol and told
the bartender to watch the place as he was
going out for few minutes. Just outside
the saloon Daley met his victim and in a
few minutes the two entered the saloon
building by a side door and passed into
the room where the murder took place.
There was no evidence of quarrel be-
tween the two and the first sound heard
after they entered the room was the bang
of a revolver four times in rapid success
sion. All four shots took effect in the
womans face, which was literally blown
to pieces. Daley then put the muzZle of
the gun under his chin and fired, the bullet
blowing it's way through the head and
brain. Death resulted instantly The sight
of the two dead bodies literally bathed in
their own blood was a revolving one. An
inquest will be held tomorrow morning.
Late yesterday afternoon the Santa Fe
switch engine No. 35, hauling two freight
cars, and engine No. Go of the regular To-
cal freight train No. 49, drawing caboose,
collided near the Twenty-fifth street sta
ton in this city. When the collision oc-
Cured Brakeman Day and NJ. b. Flood, a
car cleaner, were standing on the front
end Of the caboose. Day was thrown
1,nl hi clrt FRO
tured, in addition to a deep wound four
inches in length on the crown of his head
and Flood was also thrown against the
stone, receiving severe bruises on his lief,
shoulder and side. Conductor Predown
Firemen Frank B. Wincup and johnson
and Engineer Bob Palmer jumped from
their train and all except Wincup escaped
serious injury. The speed of the switch
engine had been decreased considerably
before the collision, but the impact was
so great when the freight engine struck
the tender of the switch engine 1t drove
it up into the cab of the latter, tearing
away the platform and wrecking the en-
gineer's side of the cab. The front of the
switch engine was telescoped into the
freight car just ahead to a point behind
the smokestack. Brakeman Day and Fire
man Wincup were taken to Los Angeles
on the limited, leaving here this morning
at o'clock.
Through a misunderstanding of the
cause of punishment given, one of the pu-
pills attending the Sherman Heights schools
in this city, Principal Freeman was burned
in effigy yesterday by several of the STU
dents. The boys thought their companion
had been punished for writing on the
blackboard, Remember the Maine," and
in their fever of patriotic feeling proposed
to show the principal the contempt for his
actions. AS a matter of fact, the punish
ment was given for some other miscon-
duct.
At the meeting of Heintzelman and Da-
tus Z. Coon G. A. r. post this evening rse-
olutions were unanimously adopted offer
ing the services of all men in both COM
panies to the mayor in case of emergency.
