Desert, Was Murdered for

Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 19.-Cor-
oner Pittman went to Cotton to hold
mains of man who was found dead
there today in Southern Pacific re-
car. The man had been dead
some time. II was reported that death
was due to starvation, the unfortunate
having been locked in the car, but the
inquest showed that pneumonia was di-
rectly the cause of death. There was
also q suspicion of suicide, as a bottle
was found near the corpse.
There were no papers by Which his
identity could be definitely established.
The remains were removed to the
Swartz undertaking parlors at Cotton,
where the inquest was held, and will
be buried from there tomorrow morn
ing. This is the first death in a fruit
car which has coma TO the attention OF
the authorities for months, though
numbers of invalids have at different
points been taken from these cars.
Later evidence indicates that the re-
mains found in the box car are those of
Lewis Miller, and that it was suicide,
as a bottle of poison was found near
the body. The car had come from Los
ferred to Espee at Cotton.
The officers believe that Alex Rada-
macher, whose mining outfit was found
on the desert last week. has been muir
dered. The old man disappeared in
1896, leaving rich mines, for which a
syndicate offered quarter of a million
soon after the miner left on his fatal
trip across the desert. The point where
the outfit was found is many miles
from the point where he was last seen
alive, and in an opposite direction
from the point in which he was going
1t is believed that the murderers left
the outfit where it was found to give
the impression that Radamacher had
lost his way and perished of thirst.
James Andrews, who has been con-
fined in the asylum at Patton for sew
eral months, escaped from there last
night. Numerous persons are securing
the brush along the mountains for the
unfortunate, as it is feared that he has
sought the mountains in his delusion
and periShed. He is a member of a
well-known local family. printer.
Emma Patterson will not escape
prosecution for burning her Chino house
on account of the death of Jose Nc
Farlane. The testimony of the McFar-
lane woman, given at the preliminary
examination, will be used against the
Patterson woman, officials say.

METROPOLITAN
First Half Week, "The COL
lege Widow"

There is reciprocal feeling between
Henry W. Savage and the western
states, unmistakable manifest as the
seasons come and go. Ever since Mr..
Savage became a potent factor in the
stage world, he has been sending to
the west his best and the west has
shown its appreciat ton by according
the Savage attractions more liberal
patronage than those of any other pro-
ducer. -
The climax of Mr.. Savage's western
success was reached last season in the
tour eastward and return of "The Col
lege Widow,n which was generally
conceded the palm as the jolliest, the
most exhilarating and wholesome even
ings amusement which the year af-
forded. Inherently delightful, this
comedy de luxe of George AIDES was
given all the accentuation that proper
presentation can afford. Now the sec
cnd tour brings this play to the Metro
polita:n theater for brief engagement
opening this evening, and as Mr. Saw
age S promises have been thoroly good
in the past, it is safe to count upon a
production that will slight nothing
which the Judgment Of the critical
might covet.
"The College Widow as it's title
suggests, is founded upon life in a
small college town, with students and
village types intermingled in charming
ly humorous transcripts from familiar
campus scenes and Incidents 1t is
primarily a satire, but is also an ex-
cellently constructed play, telling it's
simple story without verbiage or i'm
materiality. From its opening speech,
there is scarcely a line that is not re-
levant to the theme upon which Mr..
AIDE has built. The dialog teens
with smart repartee, rude but good nat,
ural philosophy and straight from the
shoulder Americanisms. 1t is thing
Of JOY to the college man, yet appeals
to the risibilities of all. The company
