MRS. HARRY Love INSANE
Her Husband Killed Joaquin
Murietta.
HOW HARRY LOVE NET HIS death IS RECALLED
Ex-Sherif Thomas Cunningham Re
lates a Few Incidents of Loves
Life.

Ex-Sheriff Cunningham, who, the
other day, was reading of the insanity
of Mrs. Harry Love of Santa Clara,
whose husband was the slayer of Joa-
quin Murietta, the famous bandit, re-
called Love and his troubles and trials
we'll.
He was over six feet in height, pow
erfully built and wore his thick, curly
hair long. He had been Texan ran
ger with Jack Hays and Ben McCul-
loch, and was captain of the company
which overlook and killed Joaquin
Murietta, the murderer, who for years
terrorized the state from Siskiyou to
San Diego. Love lived on ranch near
Santa Clara, but spent large portion
of his time in San Jose.
About the year 1859 he married the
widow Bennett and thenceforward and
until his death was in a constant whirl
of domestic trouble, which resulted in
lawsuits, separation, reconciliation
and incessant conjugal infelicities On
the Goth of June, 1869, he was shot by
Chris Ericsson and died from the
effects of an amputation. Ericsson was
employed by Mrs. Love as farm lab
Orer and Harry, with or without cause,
became insanely jealous. He ordered
the German to leave and threatened
death as the penalty for disobedience.
Ericsson refused to go, on the ground
that he was employed by the wife, and
had nothing to do with the affairs of
the husband.
On the 29th of June Mrs.sLove and
the hired man went to San Jose on
business, while Harry Love, armed
with a shotgun and revolver, and pro-
vided with a bag of biscuits, a coffee
pot, and coffee, took a position behind
a rail fence on the ranch, near the
gate, and awaited their return. When
the couple had driven to within fifty
yards of the spot where Harry was
crouched. daughter of Mrs. Love by
her first husband informed them of
the ambuscade. Ericsson Immediately
sprang from the wagon and advanced
with revolver drawn. Both opened
fire at the same moment and the Ger
man was wounded in the face and arm
with small bird shot, but he continued
to advance.
Love discharged the contents of the
other barrel of his shotgun and also
fired five shots from his revolver, with
out, however, infiicting any further in
jury upon Ericsson other than the dis
ablement of the right arm. Still per-
fectly cool and undaunted, the hired
man pressed on until he reached the
fence. Then, bending over the rail, he
shifted his pistol to his left hand and
fired at his enemy at close quarters,
the bullet striking Love in the righ
arm, shattering the bone. At this
juncture the slayer of Murietta broke
into howl of fear and pain. After
frantically calling in vain for help, he
started for the house on the wild run.
The game was now in Ericson's hands.
Springing lightly over the fence he
gave chase. On the way he picked up
Loves pistol which had been dropped,
and, coming up with his enemy, struck
him heavy blow on the head with the
weapon, dubbed, which had an effect
of stretching Love prostrate and
senseless on the ground.
Love died from a surgical operation
performed as result of the injury,
and Ericsson was discharged. Stockton

Nugget, Placerville, February I'd.

The passenger train did not arrive
until about o'clock Monday night.
AS it passed into the switch at Mills,
going at the usual rate of speed, the
rails broke under the two coaches,
ditching them. No one was injured
and two more cars were sent out from
Sacramento to take their place. For
tunately the cars were ditched on the
sidetrack or the delay would have been
greater.
The funeral of the late John Titler
was held from the Episcopal Church

WILKESBARRE, Pa. Sept. 13-The
miners in the Wyoming Valley, the largest
district CT the anthracite coal field, will
obey the strike order next Monday. All Of
them reported for work this morning, and
there were no scenes of disorder and no
disturbances. The leaders advised the men
that as the strike does not go into effect
until Monday their best plan is to get all
the work they can until then, in order to be
better able to Withstand the demands of a
strike. The feeling too, is evident that
there IS still hope of the operators giving
way, and that the three days before Mon
day viii give them time 10 suggest some
means Of averting the strike by promising
some concessions or agreeing to arbitra-
ton.
When asked this morning if there was
any hope of this, the operators were unan-
imous in declaring that there would be
absolutely no change in their position.
The operators of the big companies we're
all interviewed on the situation
Assistant Superintendent z. NJ. Chase,
OF the Lehigh Valley, said that he could
not give even rough estimate OF the
number CT men who might cease work
Monday
I'VE have given it great deal of
thought ne said, but cannot even guess
the percentage of employees affiliated with
the labor organization. In this immediate
vicinity we have about 5000 employees and
in The Lehigh. Mahauoy. and Shamokin re-
gions the number is greater In all We
have about L. coo hands. The closing
down OF the eoIlieries has not been given
serious consideration and just what we
win do is yet 10 be decided upon"
General Superintendent Richard, CT the
Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company,
expressed the opinion that while the non
union employees OF the company might, as
s result Of the general agitation, sGiR the
members CT the Miners Union the lat
ter do net exceed 20 per cent Of the total
number employed.
