ganized and hurried to Salinas.
Within an hour the roads were
patrolled by mounted armed men
ready to lynch the murderer.
But the officers were too clever.
They hastened their bleeding
prisoner out toward the Catholic
Cemetery, which is about two
miles from town. One Of the Of
hcers, James Church, left the
buggy and returned to the city
to endeavor to calm the people.
The other, NJ. r. Keef, con
tinued with his charge toward
the graveyard. He did not know
what to do. The roads seemed
guarded in every direction. By
taking a circditous route he
reached the Howard ranch, near
Natividad, however, and there
the murderer rested until early
morning.
But the crowd OF armed, rope
equipped men had not left the
jail during the long hours of the
night. They were waiting in
desperate patience for the COM
ing of the murderer and his cap
tors. And with all their vigilance
they were outnatched. In the
early morning Suesser was

Allen to the place. He saw the
drunken criminal just as he was
leaving the field. The officer
commanded Suesser to surren-
der, and the reply was two pistol
bullets which went wide of their
mark.
After firing Suesser fed and
the officer gave chase. The young
man was too feet of foot, how
eevr, and reached his home,
where he secured a shotgun. A
few minutes later he met the man
for whose murder he must now
answer with his life.
The alarms and the excitement
had attracted the attention of
Sheriff Farley, who had just re-
turned from the country and was
dining in a downtown restaurant
with ex-District Attorney P. E.
Zabala. They determined to
visit the scene of the fire, and on
the way they met Constable Al
len. He told them the story'of
Suesser's offense, and Sheriff
Farley decided to arrest the Of
fender. The officer had almost
reached Suesser's home when he
saw the young man. Farley
called upon the young fellow to
surrender. The reply was vol
ley of oaths.
Suesser was armed with a shot
gun and leveled it at Farley.
There was flash and a report,
and the Sheriff dropped to the
ground mortally wounded. The
murderer aimed again and fired,
but the trigger simply snapped.
When he saw what he had done
Suesser fed back to his home.
He rushed for knife and slashed
his throat, but did not inf1ict a
fatal wound.
In the meantime Farley had

throng of men who had sur
rounded his home and were de
manding his life. He begged the
officers to kill him, but they Sc
cured a buggy near the house
and by a subterfuge escaped with
their prisoner. They made at
once for the outskirts of the
town, and it was several moments
before shouts and curses an
nounced that the crowd knew
that their prospective prey had
escaped.
The throng then surged
toward the County Jail. News Of
the murder had spread to neigh
boring towns, and in Gonzales
and Castroville armed men or

the life of their prisoner they

Angry men were around the jail
and on every street corner. They
had kept their vigil through the
night, and failure had simply in
tensihed their purpose.

reaction from a night Of
hySteria. People of the town
are gathered on every street cor
ner discussing in excitement the
tragic scenes of last night when
Henry r. Farley, the Sheriff OF
Monterey County, was murdered
by an infuriated drunken wretch
who gave in murder and arson
a terrible climax to a worthless
life.
Business is practically sus-
pended. With fascination Of
horror hundreds of men and
women are congregated at the
scene OF the tragedy. Crowds
are assembled at the County Jail
to tell their regret that the muir
derer of the Sheriff did not re-
ceive summary and desperate
justice for his crime.
Threats are made on every
hand that the criminal will never
be tried by process OF law in the
county. Never, perhaps, in the
history of Monterey has a crime
so agitated the people, and armed
men are everywhere ready to re-
venge the death of one who
seems to have won universal re-
Spect and good will. The muir
derer has been hastened out Of
the county and smuggled to San
Jose, where he will remain until
the people OF Salinas have calmed
themselves sufficiently to permit
him to have the chance that the
law gives him for his life.
The mourning relatives OF the
dead officer are gathered at his
coffin, and the people OF the town
are preparing funeral ceremonies
that will testify their esteem OF
the man who was said to be the
most popular man in the county.
When daylight came this
morning the streets were dotted
with armed men prepared for any
desperate encounter. They had
been abroad for hours, and
they had watched with unremit-
ting vigilance to take the life Of
the murderer.
1t was perhaps an hour after
George Suesser had murdered
Sheriff Farley before the people
of the town knew that the officer
had been shot to death. Suesser,
it will be remembered, had
nursed his rage against Delaney
for hours. Suesser is hardly more
than a boy in years. He is a
worthless, drunken fellow, 22
years Of age. He has won a pre-
carious living by hunting, being
a dead shot and too lazy to fol-
low a regular occupation. He
has been in trouble times without
number. He has been accused Of
many minor -offenses, but sue
ceeded by some streak of good
fortune from suffering punish
ment for them. Three days ago
he was accused by James De
laney Of having stolen a harness.
The charge angered the young
fellow and he swore to be re-
venged. He drank heavily dur
ing the day, and early in the
evening went to the home Of De
laney. The old man answered
the call at the door, and when he
came Suesser struck him bru-
tally and heavily with an iron bar.
Delaney escaped serious injury
through the assistance of his fam
lily, and Suesser reeled away
vowing that he would return and
kill the household.
AS he left he drew his pistol
and fired several shots at the
house. Fortunately, he did no
damage, but his desperate nature
was aroused. He leaped a fence
and in drunken viciousness set
fire to a haystack owned by De-
laney. In a moment the flames

The DEWEY HOME.
He Will Accept Home as the Gift Of the
People.

Washington, October 6.-Admiral
Dewey has elected to accept house in
Washington already constructed in
stead of having one built for his occu-
patton. In accordance with an invita-
tion of the committee which had in
charge the Dewey home work, he called
at the office of Acting Secretary Allen,
of the navy department, to-day to indi-
cate his preferences in the matter. He
said had the proposed home been the
gift Of few wealthy men he should
feel indisposed to accept it, but he noted
the fund had over $4,000 subscribers, in
dicating that the home was to be really
the gift of the American people, and as
such he would accept it with as much
pleasure as he had the sword bestowed
upon him by congress. He wished the
house to be located in the northwest
section of the city. He wanted the
house at the earliest possible moment,
SO he might "go in and hang up his hat
at once" as he put 1t. He asked that
the house be modest enough in appoint

FEW BUSINESS FAILURES.
And the Losses Were Much Smaller THAI
Hsuo1


New York, October 6.-Bradstreet's $
tomorrow will say: The third quarter
Of the year 1899 shows the fewest fail
ures, the smallest liabilities and small
est proportion of assets to liabilities of
which there is any recent record. There
were only 2,026 failures, involving $15,-
$50, 965 liabilities, and $6,340, ,2S6 assets, a
decrease of 16 per cent in the number
and 48 per cent in liabilities for the
same quarter of last year
The total number Of failures in nine
months was only 7,075, falling off of
20 per cent from last year, 2S per cent
from 1897, and 81 per cent from 1896.
which year held the record for the most
numerous nine months failures, ex-
ceeding even the panic year of 1893. The
total liabilities for the period under re-
view was $65,855,218. Detailed reports
show that in only one group, that of the
territories, Is there an increase in the
number of failures, and the growth OF
the section involved, rather than the
presence of unfavorable conditions, is
probably responsible for the increase
which has indeed run through every
quarter of the year

WOOL MARKET.
A Remarkable Volume of Business Being
Kept Up.


The American Wool and Cotton Re-
porter of Thursday said:
While the demand for wool has not
ruled quite as active during the past
week as previously good sized business
has been transacted. Some dress goods
mills and worsted yarn spinners have
been buying. The American Woolen
Company has been a less factor in the
market, although some of the mills in
combine have purchased moderately.
1t could hardly be expected that the
pace which characterized the course of
the market for the past six weeks could
be maintained Indefinitely and 1t Is In
deed remarkable the volume Of business
has kept up as well as it has. The sales
Of wool in this market since January
aggregate over 225,OO0,00 pounds. Last
year, this time, it amounted to less than
S7OO0,O00 pounds. Prices are strong and
continue to tend up.
