Wedding
Tragedy
Post Nuptial Festival
Marred By Murder
Juan Garcia Shot and Killed by
Francisco Baca During a Dance
Last Monday Night.

Juan Garcia was shot and almost
instantly killed in a Mexican dance
hall on Smelter hill in South Canon
about II O'Clock last Monday night by
influence of liquor at the time. A
dance was being held in honor of the
marriage of Jose Salazar and Miss
SantIna Patron, which occurred at 10
o'clock last Monday morning
The bride, who is only IA years of
age, has no father living and her
mother and godfather compelled her
to marry Salazar against her will she
wishing to bestow her affections on
another and younger lover. On thatac-
count trouble was brewing all day on
Monday among the Mexicans, and, as
the festivities proceeded. the i'll feeling
became intensified. Some of the merry
makers took sides with the mother and
godfather and others with the unhappy
girl and her discarded lover.
The wedding celebration was to be
great event and representatives of the

mining camps of the county to the
number of over 200 to participte in the
grand ball. which was to be BITS culmi-
mating feature. During the evening
the wrath of the factions increased and
threats of bloodshed were heard on
both sides and it became apparent that
the festivities could hardly terminate
without serious trouble.
The climax was reached when the
bride refused to dance with the groom
and insisted on bestowing her favors on
the young man whom she really loved
and whom she desired to marry. About
this time a quarrel started between
Baca and a man named Talamante.
Baca drew a revolver and began firing
at random, the first shot penetrating
the ceiling and the second shattering
the glass in one of the windows. The
friends of Talamante were endeavoring
to get him out of harms way. and on
reaching the door of the hall Baca
rushed al him and fired point blank at
his head. Fortunately for Talamante
he was able to jump aside before the
weapon was discharged and the bullet,
which was of IS cslibre, entered the

breast of Juan Garcia. who was in the
scN of entering the doorway.
Garcia turned and ran about 50 feet
and fell dead. Baca was Instantly
sobered by his crime and as soon as he
realized the enornity of his crime
stepped out into the darkness and dis
appeared. The officers were notified
of what had taken place and Night
Marshal Joe Esser and Under Sheriff
w. L. Hawkins went to the scene of
the shooting and arrested several
suspects, one OF whom was placed in
Jail, but was released the next morning.
All efforts to locate Baca have thus for
been unavailing, but it is not thought
that he can long eluds the vigilance OF
the authorities,
The dead man leaves widow and

ests all. People look TO Colorado for
good mineral displays, leading the
world. as she does, with her gold. silver
and coal mines.
But the surprise of the fair TO those
interested in such things is Colorado's
exhibits In the horticultural and agri-
cultural buildings.
Our fruits surpass anything in the
building and Colorsdo's department is
the best kept and most attractive
there. IL does not require the judg-
ment OF an expert to determine that
Colorsdo's fruit display is far above
the average and will probably excel all
others
II is the same in the agricultural
building. colorado's exhibit, while
not being so expensive or so elaborate
as others, is one of the finest at the
fair, and am told by those in author
ity that Colorado is likely to take more
premiums In this department than any
other state in the union. This would
certainly be a remarkable achievement
and speaks volumes for Colorsdo's agri-
cultural possibilities.
Fremont county is not represented
rs well at the fair a. il should be.
From time to time we hsve had fruits
in the horticultural building and will
get some premiums, but nothing in
the other departments, / think. They
are still talking here about that
barrel Of Primate or Gypsey Girl ap-
Piles Capt. Rockafellow sent down in the
summer. They created decided sem
sation. This week we had nothing on
the tables but a few ordinary apples
from b. F. Rockafellow and A. S. Mum
roe.
do not see why somebody doesn't
send down crate of strawberries.
They would attract more attention
than the balance OF the whole fruit
show.
Our fruit growers ought to appreciate
better the advantages OF getting their
fruit on exhibition here. There are
good chances for getting premiums
from the greatest Worlds Fair the
world has ever seen. Then these fruit
displays help to create market for our
products and attract people to our
county.
II costs nothing to put fruit on es-
hibition. The fair even pays the freight
and has Il packed for you. Ifyou have
