MEXICAN FIDDLER FOUND DEAD ON
 OLD PATAGONIA ROAD.
Clothing Had Been Burnt off and Body Was ln an Advanced Stage
 of Decomposition.

In badly decomposed condition the body of Manuel Gallega, a
 Mexican peddler, was found Thurs day on the old Patagonia road, about five miles from town. The body was naked, the clothing hav- ing been burnt off.
 Indications are that he was mur- Gered and his clothes set on fire to destroy traces of wounds on the body.
 The body was in such d decom- posed state that 1t was impossible to tell whether or not the man had been beaten up. One eye was closed and the other was open and bnlging out.
 There were gaping wounds on different parts and the intestines bulged out. but whether any Of them were inflicted before death, or If they were caused by accumulat- cd gas during the process of de- composition, Il was impossible to determine.
 Gallega lived with his brother and sister about half mile north of town and left home Sunday af- ternoon to go to Mowry Camp, taking with him a number Of Mex lcan straw hats to sell.
 Whether he was killed on the way to the camp, or had been there and was killed while returning, IS not vel known, as there K no wire connection with Mowry.
 No straw hats were found. nor was there any money found, which would indicate that he had been robbed, as he would have had few dollars if ne had sold the hats.
 The fact that bag of acorns was among his effects would indicate that he was returning to Nogales and had picked the acorns to bring home.
 The body was found lying on the road, while two coats, which he had when he left town, were found about POO feet away, in different places. About 150feet from the coats was found the pack saddle, which had been ou the burro he rode. The saddle had been taken off the animal, placed upon the ground and covered with blanket. In still another place were found the blankets and other effects of the dead man.
 Il vas supposed at first that he had been struck by lightning while riding along the road, but that theory was soon discredited | by the fact that the saddle had been taken off the burro and coy- cred with d blanket.
 Justice Gildea, when notified of ! the finding of the body, empanelled { a jury, the members of which vis- tied the scene of the tragedy, tind- ! ing things abont as stated above.
 As 1t had rained considerably | since the death of the man, it was impossible to tell by the condition of the ground whether or not there had been any struggle.
 The first clues to the dead man's1 identity were couple of receipts ! bearing his name, which were found Tn pocket of one of the coats. Joe

E:|REMEN JUMP
FOUR STORIES
Show Members of Grand Jury
What Extremes They Will
Go 10 in Serious Moments
SCALE THE HIGH TOWER
Give Remarkable Example of
Pluck and Prove Ability
to Save Life and Property

Members of the Grand Jury, includ-
ing Foreman Andrews; John H. Speck,
chairman of the fire committee; D. H.
Lohsen and John Porcher. attended a
drill of firemen at No. l drill tower,
Seventeenth street, at o'clock yester-
day morning.
Chief Sullivan, Second Assistant
Chief P. H. Shaughnessy and Captain
William Carew, assistant sdrillmaster,
were present and took an earnest in
terest in the magnificent and exciting
fire-fighting maneuvers by the sturdy
men Of the department.
Not a single hitch marred the drill,
all the movements of the fire laddies
being like clockwork.
There were two great leaps from a
height OF four stories into a net that
caused the onlookers to marvel at the
consummate ease and confidence with
which the feat was accomplished.
Charles Gallatin OF Engine and
Frank Miskell of 10 Truck were the
ones commanded to take the desperate
leap and each succeeded In reaching the
net with the grace Of sea gull alight-
ing on the pacific waters Of the bay.
The work was excellent all through,
the first team standing on ladders and
scaling the top Of the tower. eighty
feet high. The second team straddled
the sills and scaled the top and the
third team stood on the sills and fol-
lowed the example OF their predeces-
sors in scaling as neatly as it could be
done by the most expert acrobats ex-
tant.
The fourth team formed a chain OF
ladders and did splendid scaling work
The hose team played streams Of
water from the top Of the tower and
standpipes and tho circulator was
tested to show the grand jurymen how
fires are extinguished In easements.
No less interesting and expert was
the work with the extension ladder,
which was regulated to give an idea
of how 1t can be utilized on the side
of q grade without the aid Of a heeler.
Not least Of the important demon
strations was that one showing the use
of the life line. Despite strong
breeze. 1t was cleverly landed with the
second shot, the boys on the top Of
the roof descending to the ground by
the rope which came to their relief.
The verdict Of the Grand Jury will
be made known at a later date.

FAIL TO GET
RAISE IN PAY
Judges of Appellate Courts
Must Labor for Beggarly
Stipend Of $4,000 a Year
RULING BRINGS SORROW
Attorney General Believes
Jurists Must Wait to Be
Re elected for Increase

Attorney General Webb has decided
that the new Judges OF the Courts of
Appeal are not entitled to an annual
salary Of 5000 as they claimed. The
opinion also affects the recently appoint
ed Superior Judges, who will have to be
content with the old salaries. The Leg
islature provided for an increase Of $4,000
year for Justices of the Supreme Court.
It was admitted that the fncumbents
could not get the advance in pay as
the law provided that the salary OF no
official may be increased while he Is in
office. When Justice or his successor
Is elected $4,000 a year instead Of $4,000
Will be his salary.
1t is provided in the law that the Judges
of the District Courts Of Appeal shall
receive salary equal to tnat Of the JUS
tices Of the Supreme Court. The new
members of the inferior tribunal held
that they should be entitled to draw
$4,000 q year to begin with. Their salary
demands were presented to Controller
Colgan, who asked for information on
the subject from the Attorney Generals
office.
General Webb holds that tho Judges,
while not appointed until May Is, actually
held office from April 10. They can
therefore collect their salaries for the
extra five weeks during which they did
no work, but only at the rate OF 5000
a year. But as 1t is held that they took
office before the increase Of salaries
went into effect they must work at the
old rate of pay until reelected. The new
Superior Judges Of Los Angeles County
must also labor for tho salary given un-
der the old law.
When the terms Of office Of Justices
Henshaw and Lorigan and Of some OF the
Appellate Court Judges shall have eI-
pired in January, 1907. they or their sue
cessors will collect $1,000 more annually
than Chief Justice Beatty Of the Supreme
Court.
When the news of tho ruling was spread
broadcast yesterday the sorrow in judicial
circles was poignant.

The gun store of the Shreve & Bar
Der Company, 739 Market street, was
entered by burglars between IL o'clock
Wednesday night and o'clock yester-
day morning. Detectives Matheson and
Mulcahy were detailed on the case.
They found that the burglars had at
first entered the premises, 1877 Market

into the Boston Dental College. A desk
had been broken open, but nothing
valuable was taken. Then they went
to rear window and made their way
to the roof Of the gun store. A pane
of glass was removed from a skylight
and the burglars crawIed through the
hole. It was discovered that thirty
seven revolvers of different caliber and
manufacture had been stolen.

when he dropped into a saloon on Mis-

picked up the coin and concealed it on
his person. Mr. Keehoe Indignantly

from the floor a silver dollar which he
had dropped. Mr.. Weida then under
took to search the suspect, but by
ISLANDERS interfered and saved Mr. Kee-
hoe from that great humiliation, so
Mr.. Weida summoned a policeman and
turned Mr.. Keehoe into custody.
You have not proved that the de-
fendant took your money" said the
Judge to the complainant. "and the
court is in doubt as to whether he did
take it."
But doubt" declared Mr. weida, In
a "curse-the-luck tone, does not re-

restores the defendant to freedom.
