AGENT IS SHOT
BY POSTMASTER
Quarrel in Desert Town
Results in an Effort
to Kill.
Young Employe Of Santa Fe
Railroad Is Seriously
Wounded.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

Los ANGELES. Sept. 13.-Henry Fish
er, aged &c years. unmarried, agent for
the Santa Fe Railroad at Kramer, San
Bernardino County, was brought to Los
Angeles this morning suffering from a
gunshot wound through the right lung
from which the physicians say he cannot
recover. He was shot at that desert
town at o'clock Saturday night by John
Blake, postmaster at kramer, and there
being no physician there, the wounded
man was placed aboard a special train
and taken to Barstow, where he was
placed on board an overland train and
brought to Los Angeles.
Fishers story of the shooting is that
he and Blake had a quarrel over some
trivial matter about three weeks ago, but
he did not regard it as at all serious and
the trouble had not been renewed. Satur-
day evening while Fisher was washing
his hands, Blake entered the Santa Fe
depot and demanded that Fisher produce
certain papers, the nature of which Fish
er did not state. He was told to wait a
moment, and while Fisher continued
washing he heard a gun snap behind him
and turned to find himself covered with
revolver in the hands of Blake.
Fisher jumped and just as he did so
Blake fired. The first shot missed Fish
er, but Blake fired again and Fisher fell
with a bullet through his right lung.
Blake walked out of the place and went
home, where he was later placed under
arrest. He refuses to make any state
ment He was taken TO Barstow and
lodged in Jail.

CONVICT TELLS
Of THE ESCAPE
Murphy Of Folsom Says
Guards Might Have
Fired.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO. Sept 13 - Convicts
Joseph Murphy and John w. Woods,
who escaped with eleven others from Fol-
som Prison July 27 and were recaptured
at Reno. arrived in Sacramento tonight
in the custody of Nevada officers and
were locked in the City Prison. They will
be returned to the Folsom Penitentiary
tomorrow morning. The men were heav-
ilv manacled on the cars and were in
charge of Sheriff R. f. Leeper, Deputy
Sheriff ]. NJ. Sharkey and Deputy Con-
stable NJ Wilson of Reno.
Murphy said tonight that getting away
from Folsom Prison is the easiest thing
in the world He was surprised that more
breaks for liberty were not made there
He was asked what would have been the
result If the guards had been allowed to
open fire on the thirteen escaping con-
victs who had taken the Warden. the
captain of the guard and several of the
guards of the prison as shields
"If the guards had been allowed to
fire" said Murphy, 'it would have been
a very different story. There was plenty
of opportunity. There were times when
a prisoner was twenty-five feet away from
an officer and the guards could have
opened fire without hurting an officer.

one shot for the guards to have fred
Murphy said. however, five other con-
victs would have killed one of the num-
Der who should have weakened in case
the guards had fired He said DR.. Plant,
the prison physician. was badly scared
and threw his hands in the air and ran
i'm and out of the barber shop aimlessly.
He intimated that five other officers were
also more or less frightened.
Murphy said that while he was in tie
brush near Lake Tahoe eighteen of his
pursuers passed not more than two feet
from his hiding place. After they had
gone he entered house and robbed it of
S19. He said on one occasion he rode in
a buggy with a Nevada deputy sheriff
and nIayed cards with him and another
officer without exciting their suspicious.
Murphy said it was his intention to pro-
ceed to his old home in Pennsylvania,
have his present filed teeth pulled out
and a false set inserted and remain in
that State secure from detection. He
would express no opinion concerning the
whereabouts of Miller and the other con-
Victs.
