WHO HAS SERVED SENTENCE FOR
PREACHING ANARCHY IN FRANCE

His full name is Francois Salson.
He is a Frenchman and was born In
1876. He was regarded as a dangerous
anarchist, and in October, 1898, was
condemned to three months imprison-
ment for preaching anarchy. In June,
1889. he was condemned to eight
months Imprisonment for a like Of
fense.
Inquiries at the worklngmen's hotel
where Salson lived. and where he WAS
regarded a model boarder, brought to
light the fact that he had been work
ing at day labor until recently, VIII n
his work was finished. He was then
unable to find new employment, and
became more uncommunicative even
than formerly, though still keepi.s
regular hours. The last few days tie
question Of existence was a difficult
one for him.
What his punishment will be is a
matter Of doubt. Probably il will be
a life sentence at hard labor, though il
IS possible he will be condemned to the

MURDERED HIS MISTRESS
Fermina 0choa of Yuma Killed by
 Her Lover, Guillermo Lisaldo.

About o'clock Wednesday morning the lifeless body of Fermina Ochoa. a Mexican woman about 50 years old, who has lived in Yuma, Hedges and Fortuna for years, was found in front cf q house on Jones street, where she lad taken lodging the night before, having arrived in town Tuesday morn ing from Fortuna. says the Yuma Sun. Her skull had been fractured by a blow on the head With some blunt instru-
 me:;. and Q piece of cloth, torn into strips and wound into the form of a rope. was tied about the woman's s throat so tightly that it was sufficient to produce strangulati0n. Besides
 thesc evidences of foul play. a knife wound in the body showed the desire of her slayer to do his job thoroughly.
 Suspicion was at once directed to- ward the wOman's lover, GuillermO Li- saldo. with whom she has been living tor long time past and With whom it was known that she came in from For tuna the day before.

 Evidence secured by the cOr0nsr's
 jury shows that the woman had recent

 Tn which the money was kept and which she usually kept about her neck. had been torn violently away and was found where it had been cast aside. Many things point toward Lisaldo's
 guilt, and if captured h. can hardly es- cape conviction.
 The fugitive was seen in Yuma at diff ferent times from P. m. Tuesday night
