the speed of the ship only and in way
jeopardized her safety.

GRAVE ROBBERS NEFARIoUS
DEED IN LOS ANGELES
Remains of Donna Maria Pico Are
Removed From Tomb of Noted
Spanish Family.
Special Dispatch to The Call

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 15.-Grave rob-
bers broke into the tomb of Donna Maria
Pico, wife Of Pho Pico, the last Spanish
Governor OF California, a few days ago
and removed the remains. which had been
buried for nearly fifty years. The we'll
preserved skeleton was found by a boy
this afternoon in old Calvary Cemetery
fifty feet from the Pico family vault
All the flesh had fallen from the bones
but on the hands. which were folded over
the breast. was found pair of gloves
and shoes and stockings encased the feet.
1t is supposed that the vandals expected
to find valuable jewels on the body. as
the Picos were wealthy at the time of
the death of Donna Maria in Santa Bar
bara in 1854 but if they obtained any
thing there is no evidence of the fact.
The body rested in a niche in the vault
protected by a marble slab, on which
were inscribed her maiden name. Maria
Ignacia Alvarado. wife of Pho PicO. and
a verse in Spanish Inside of a her
metically sealed box rested the coffin,
richly trimmed with gold and silver
fringe and lined with silk. while the body
was clad in rich laces. velvets and satin.
all in a good state of preservation. The
remains had been embalmed. which ac-
counts for the good condition of the
skeleton.
Old Calvary Cemetery has been aban-
doned for many years and is in a state
of diIapidation- Many of the early Span
ish families used 1t as a burial ground.
but large portion Of the bodies have

side that of his wife. was not molested.

that she desires. even less now than three

President Roosevelt is still considering

Tillman said nothing until after he had

SHOOT AGAIN, YOU COWARD -

Gonzales is certain that nothing was
said until after the shot was fired. when
he tottered to the street car transfer sta
ton. where he leaned. Tillman was still
pointing his pistol at him. whereupon
Gonzales said: "Shoot again. you cow
ard"
Lieutenant Governor Tillman lowered
his pistol and walked away. There was
only one shot fired and that entered the
right side between the eighth and ninth
ribs and passed through the fore part
of the body, coming out just above the
free border ribs. The bullet was picked
up on the pavement.
Gonzales and Tillman passed each other
in full view since the opening of the pres

passed and no recognition of any kind be-

MADE EDITORIAL ATTACKS.

During the progress Of the. campaign
Gonzales in his fight to defeat Tlllman
had editoriaIly called him a debauchee
and blackguard and had denounced him
as criminal candidate" and proven
liar" This and other such editorials are
supposed TO have goaded Tillman to shoot
Gonzales to-day. Since the first primary.
August 26, 1902, Gonzales has had nothing
10 say about Tillman except to comment
upon the result Of the primary.
At 10 o'clock tonight Gonzales con-
dition continued very serious, but showed
no important change from that of several
hours earlier. Gonzales is a man Of ro
bust physique and was in the best of
health at the time Of the shooting, so that
his friends hope he may pull through not
"lthstanding the severe wound from
which he is suffering.
There appears to be no conflict Of testi-
mony as TO the essential features of the
tragedy Gonzales was going home alone
from his office to his lunch. his route
leading him down Main street To Ger

presided at the Senate session and re-
