ATTACKED FROM BEHIND IN
HIS OWN HOME.
Citizens of Ashford May Lynch the
Cowardly Slayer of Francis F.
Harris if He Is
Captured.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ASHFORK, Ariz., May 24.-Francis F.
Harris, a section foreman in the employ
of the Santa Fe Pacific Railroad, was
murdered last night in his cabin, near
the depot where he lived alone. He was
found this morning lying in a corner OF
the cabin, covered with blood from head
to foot and grasping in one hand hair
torn from his own head. Blood was
spattered over the walls and floor
The crime was committed at about
o'clock last night. Harris evidently had
just come into the cabin, hung up his
coat. lighted the lamp and was preparing
his evening meal when attacked from be-
hind and felled with a powerful blow
from a blunt instrument, probably a
coupling pin. Within four feet of him
just unbuckled. The first blow from his
assailant probably rendered him uncon.
Scious. The top and back of his head
had been beaten into pulp
The crime evidently was committed out
of revenge by a Mexican whom Harris
recently discharged and who had since
been making threats against him. Rob
berry also had been committed, watch
and considerable money being missing
The murderer burned his own bloodbe-
spattered clothing within few yards OF
where his victim lay.
The Mexican disappeared at an early
hour this morning. He was seen at WINS
low attempting to dispose of watch to
hot pursuit and it is likely he will be in
custody before morning
Harris was 4S years old and unmarried
He came from Champaign, Illinois. where
a brother and other relatives live. He
had been in the employ of the railroad
for some years and had many friends.
The murder has caused great excite
ment and there is talk of lynching

A PECULIAR STORM.
Just Little Rain From the
Inland


Local Forecaster McAdie saws that the
showers which have visited the northern
part of the State during the past thirty
six hours were caused by a storm which
began at Tehachapi. The storm worked
rapidly toward the north, inland between
the Sierras and the Rockies 1t then
veered slightly eastward to Idaho and
Montana. From there it will probably
go up the Missouri Valley and give rain
TO the East.
1T was peculiar storm" said Mr.. Nc
Adie. 'inasmuch that Northern Califor-
MIA got a little rain after the storm had
passed. Eastern Oregon had some rain,
noma valleys had slight showers. There
was only a trace in the Santa Clara Val
>ley. About 10 of an inch fell in the city,
and that was the average for the points
visited.
''The storm did not come from the
ocean this time, but was of inland growth
in Southeastern California. 1t was not
heavy enough to do any damage. 1t will
not hurt the cherries or hay. and it will
do grain little good. The present con-
ditions are fer clearing weather to-day.
THE prospects are splendid for all
kinds of crops in the State In the Sac
ramentoValley grain and fruit are looking
well, and haying, which is now in full
blast, promises a large crop of excellent
quality. Hop vines are thrifty, and early
peaches will be gathered soon. The cool
weather somewhat retards the ripening
OF lTull Ram WOulu De DeHellCldI IN the
San Joaquin, but early wheat and barley
will yield fair crop. In Fresno County
fruit and grapes are doing we'll, and the
hay crop on irrigated lands is better than
expected In Sonoma County the vine
yards are in first-class condition. and in
San Benito the wheat is all being cut for
hay. In Monterey peaches and apples will
be full crop, but prunes, pears and ap-
ricots will be light. In Los Angeles the
cool weather is favorable to growing
grain and orchards. Beets are growing
nicely but early planted beans are not
coming up well. The frost in some sec
tons has injured vines and vegetables"

Move in the Case of Yolo County
Against Controller Colgan.

WOODLAND, May A.-Attorney Cen
eral TREY l.. Ford has filed in the Supe-
rior Court a motion for change of venue
in the case of the County of Yolo VS.. E..
P Colgan, Controller of the State of Cali
fornia, in Which the plaintiff seeks to re-
cover large sum of money alleged to be
due from the State for fees for collecting
taxes for several years past. The motion

mento County because the defendant is
a resident of that county and not resi-
dent of Yolo County.

bring the action.
The writ of mandate is returnable be-
fore Judge Gaddis on Saturday, May q.

ion in the case of the San Diego Land
