MEXICANS QUARREL
AND ONE MAY DIE
KNIFE ineffective AGAINST
BULLETS
Officers Search for Fugitive, Who
Escapes with Serious Wounds
After Firing Shots That
May Be Fatal

In a battle over the affections of a
woman with whom both were infatu-
ated Andrew Chavez, a Mexican Ia
borer employed by the Southern Pa
cific company was shot through the
lungs and Pedro Zabla, who did the
shooting, was cut about the head and
shoulders. Chavez is a patient at the
county hospital, where he probably will
die, and Zabla is in hiding with De-
tective Tom Rice and three deput!
sheriffs searching for him.
The men live in one of row of cot
tages owned and used by the railroad
company for housing it's section hands
on the Mission road. The fight between
the two men took place in the rear OF
the house at 1901 Mission road.
The woman in the case is Anita
Fernandez and she Is said to be very
pretty. The two men had exchanged
words over the woman earlier in the
day. but owing to some sharp words
from their foreman had let their quar-
rel wait until they got home from their
work. The dispute over which should
monopolize the attentions of the fair
Anita was then renewed. Chavez is
alleged to have pulled wicked look
ing knife from his pocket and ran at
Zabla.
The latter retreated with Chavez
slashing at him and he was cut about
the face and shoulders and in the
breast several times before he could
get beyond reach of the infuriated man.
He then succeeded in drawing heavy
pistol from inside the band of his
trousers and he fired six shots at
Chavez as fast as he could pull the
trigger.
With blood flowing down his face
and binding him his aim was not of
the best, but one of the shots ploughed
it's way through Chavez's chest and an
other passed through his hat, grazing
the scalp. A third went through his
coat sleeve, leaving a great angry welt
along his forearm. Chavez fell when
shot through the lungs and Zabla ran
and disappeared in the gathering dark
ness.
The wounded man was carried to his
cot in the little cottage, but was later
removed to the county hospital. In
the meantime the city police depart
ment and the sheriff's office had been
notified of the shooting and Detective
Rico and three deputy sheriffs were
sent out on the case. They made i
close search of the entire neighbor
hood, but were unable to find any trace
of the fugitive.

VanderbiIts Reported to Have Bought
Chicago Line
By Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 25.-The consolida-
tion of the Chicago Junction railway
with the Indiana harbor belt line was
reported at Hammond, Ind, and was
generally credited among railway Of
ficials there.
The story was that the Vanderbilt in
terests in control Of the Indiana Har-
Dor line had bought through John A.
Spoor and Richard Fitzgerald ma
jority of the stock of the Chicago juno
ton, the deal to become effective on
July /.
The Hammond report Is that the
Vanderbilts long have tried to get con-
troll of the Junction road in order to
have reader access to the Chicago
stock yards.
The report says that another deal is
in contemplation by which control OF
the coal roads of John r. Walsh will
be purchased. The Chicago Junction
will be operated by the Indiana Har-
Dor railroad and the general offices will
be moved to Gibson, which is now the
headquarters of the Indiana Harbor
railroad, where a 100000 office building
will be built.
All the stock of the Chicago juno
ton Railroad company has been held
by the Chicago Junction railways and
United Stock Yards company. There
are $4,000 shares of 500 par value
each.
Mr.. Spoor, president of the juno
tion Railroad company, is in New York.
Richard Fitzgerald, vice president and
general superintendent, said in rela-
ton to the reported SALE:
1.-THE matter is news to me. don't
own a dollars worth Of the stock of
the road, nor does Mr.. Spoor. The real
owners are about 5000 people in the
New England states Nathaniel Thayer
of Boston is chairman of the board of
trustees. The Vanderbilts work hand
in hand with us now and have the
same rights and privileges that they
could acquire, so I cannot see any great
advantage in their possible purchase"

picture postals will be carried out by
the committee despite the fact that
many towns of California are giving
the promoters but scanty backing.
The plan as originated by DR.. Moore's
department provided for the issuing of
picture postals by the various munici-
pal bodies of the cities of California,
the postals to be sent by the school
children to their eastern friends. In
the beginning the plan was enthusiast
tically received in all quarters, but
since then the chambers of commerce
in some of the towns have declined to
undergo the expense of printing the

burgs and the money will have to be
taken from the general publicity fund.
