AWFUL CRIME
IN COLORADO
FOUR OF LAS ANlMAS MEXICAN
FAMILY KILLED AND GIRL
MISSING.
LAID TO SHEEPHERDER
THREE OLD PEOPLE AND YOUNG
MAN FOUND WITH HEADS
SPLIT OPEN.

Denver.-A Trinidad special to The
News Saturday night says: Four
members of Mexican family were
murdered and the fifth member, a
seventeen.year-old girl, has mystic
riously disappeared, and the Trinidad
police and deputy sherffs of Las Ami
mas county are divided in the belief
that she was abducted by the muir
derer or was herself assaulted and
then murdered and her body hidden.
Both theories have their supporters.
The murdered people are:
Cosme Garcia, seyenty-five years
old
Viviana Garcia, his wife, fifty.two
years old.
Torivio Garcia. their son, twenty
five years old.
Luz Gurule. cousin of the Garcias,
sixty years old.
The girl who has so mysteriously
disappeared is Maggie Garcia.
Francisco Martinez, known also as
Ruperto Gonzales and Jesus Barela
sheep herder, sixty years old. is sus-
pected of the cline and he is being
sought by deputy sheriffs.
The murder was committed Thurs
day night, and the discovery of the
bodies was made yesterday morning
by Nicholas Fernandez, a neighbor,
who called at the Garcia home, a two.
room adobe structure, on the T-Heart
ranch. in the extreme southeast cor
ner of Las Animas county. The four
peopl. had been killed with an axe.
and their heads almost chopped into
two parts by the murderer.
The disappearance OF Maggie Gar
ella is OF even more interest than the
murder OF the four people. She was
an unusually attractive girl. and Mar
tinez was very much in love with her.
She repulsed his advances. but SO in
tense did his loye-making become that.
not only had ne been ordered away
from the house, but II was barricaded
ut night against him.
1t Is the known love Martinez had
for the girl. and the fact that he, too.
has disappeared, that has led the dep.
uty sheriffs 10 suspect him OF the
crime and search for him. The mys.
terious disappearance OF the girl. too,
is taken as another suspicious point
against Martinez. II is generally be-
lieved that the girl fled from the house
and that Martinez captured her and
bound her. then killed the family, and
that he has abducted the girl.
The surrounding country is wild and
rugged and Martinez could with ease
hide himself. II he made for north.
ern New Mexico. as suspected. he
would find security In the Ration range.
where II would be almost impossible
To find him.
The murder is one OF the most ehast.
ly crimes committed In southern Colo
rado. and the disappearance OF the girl
forms one OF the most thrilling mys.
teries ever known In the section.

TALKING OF
. THE ELECTION

Although talk is now rife about q
paid fire department, the local volun-
teers are already talking of the elec-
tion of new chief and assistants In
May. If the new system goes into
effect. this will not take place.
All of the local volunteers seem
to be of the opinion that there would
be opposition for the Office of chief,
first assistant and second assistant.
First Assistant Chief George E.
Mead is the regular candidate for
the Office of chief. He is a member
of Protection Hook & Ladder Com
pany and would receive the nomina-
ton from that company. He would
be opposed, in the event Of an cleo
tion, 1t Is said, by Alex Seguine, of
the Washingtons, but Seguine would
run Independently, it is reported.
Second Assistant Chief Larson
would be the candidate of the Eagles
for the Office of first assistant. He
may be opposed by member Of Lin
coin Engine company. Theodore An
derson, of Washington Hose &
Chemical Company, would be the
regular nominee of the Washingtons,
whose turn, according to custom, 1t
is to name the second assistant, but
it is sad that the McClellans will put
up Patrick Rocks to oppose Ander-
SON.

BOY ROBBERS
HIDE IN SHED
specia, to the EVENING NEWS:

WOODBRIDGE. Jan. 30:-A bold
band of youthful thieves were dis
covered in a woodshed here yester-
day They were sitting about a table
gambling. Beside them was a pile
of packages of cigarettes which they
had stolen from a tobacco delivery
wagon and on the floor was small
barrel OF whiskey, a part of their
loot, from the contents of which
some of the older boys had become
intoxicated. The boys had robbed
freight cars of crackers and food 1t
was this that led to their discovery
and arrest. They were arraigned be-
fore Justice of the Peace Dunn, who
fined them from 81 to $40 each and
promised more severe punishment If
they continued the practice.
Edward Eiroy. Pennsylvania
railroad detective, assisted by Officer
Murphy, was Investigating the dam
age done in the cars. Mr.. Numbers
had reported that the seal on one Of
the cars had been broken and the
contents had been destroyed and
stolen. Crackers, oatmeal, and many
other things had been thrown all
over the car floor. Many boys have
been lettering around the freight
cars for some time. George Heating,
an employe at the P r. r. freight
station, said that he thought he knew
where these boys were and had his
suspicion on quite number of them.
He directed Detective Elroy and
Policeman Murphy to wood shed.
They were there playing cards.
Policeman Murphy arrested quite
number of the boys. Receiving in
formation that a few who had taken
part in the robbing were at school

Miraculous Escape at Crossing To-
day--Man Thrown Out Is Re-
moved to City Hospital.
HEARD NO BELL OF WARNING
People Who Arrived on Scene After
Accident Say That Protection at
Maurer is Not Sufficient.

Antoine Turk, about twenty-three
years old, of Hall avenue, driver
for John Mitruska, grocer, of 81
Cortlandt street, had narrow escape
from death, and was badly injured
this morning about 9 o'clock when
the horse and wagon was struck by
the Point Pleasant express on the
Central railroad crossing at Maurer.
Turk was taken to the city hos
pital. The horse was killed and
thrown into the air. and finally down
a steep embankment some distance
away. The wagon was smashed.
Early this morning Turk left the
Mitruska store to take orders at
Maurer. He had covered most of the
district, and, about 9 O'Clock, de-
cided to cross the Central tracks. to
see If few customes further down
the road wanted anything.
AS Turk drove on the crossing he
either did not hear the ringing of
the alarm system to warn drivers of
coming trains, or else the alarm, af-
fected by the weather, may not have
been in working order. AS a result,
he did not notice the approach of the
Point Pleasant express due at Maurer
at S:45 o'clock. 1t was five minutes
behind time. The train was pulled
by engine COL, with Engineer Thorn
as Ferguson at the throttle and L.
w. Romeis as conductor, and 1t
struck the rig. Turk was thrown
out of the wagon and the engine
struck him in such way that he was
Perth Amboy evening news. [volume] (Perth Amboy, N.J.) 1903-1959, 1908-01-30

thrown to one side of the road, but
he did not lose consciousness.
Engineer Ferguson put on the
brakes, but it was some time before
the train could be stopped. The ex-
press was then backed to the scene
of the accident, and Turk was picked
up by the crew and carried to the
Maurer station.
He was placed on the train due at
Maurer for Perth Amboy at 9:20 a..
M, and brought to this city, where
the local ambulance was waiting, as
Agent Howard White had been noti-
fed. Turk was taken to the city
hospital, where he is resting as COM
fortably as possible. DR.. J. G. Will
son, who attended him at the hos
pital, stated that his condition is very
serious, but there is slight chance
for recovery. He sustained a frac-
tured skull and the right elbow was
fractured.
A NEWS reporter visited the scene
of the accident this morning, as did
also many people from Maurer, this
city, and Woodbridge. Those who
had arrived on the scene soon after
the accident occurred, say the alarm
at the crossing was at times out Of
order, and that the Maurer section
was growing SO rapidly that it was
time the railroad put up gates.
Fred Bolan, the Central railroad
agent at Maurer, refused to say
anything about the accident, as he
had orders to that effect.

Found.
FIGURE LOSSES

Chief of Police Burke and Chief
Mullen. of the fire department, are
Investigating complaints that goods
were stolen from the stores and
houses on Smith street destroyed by
fire early yesterday morning, and, II
the charges can be proven, some one
is likely to suffer.
Some storekeepers, as told in the
NEWS yesterday, complained that
they had been robbed. Chief Burke
assigned Detectives Long and Huff to
the case and yesterday afternoon
they found some coats, hats, boots,
and other articles in yards in the
rear of the fire, where they had been
thrown. Sergeant Dunham found a
black derby in the yard of J. K.
Sheehy, and Patrolman McDermott
came across pair of new rubber
boots which Morris Plane said had
been stolen from his store All of
these articles are now at police head
quarters.
Hundreds of people visited the
ruins yesterday and number of SOU
venir hunters were kept away by the
fire police. Two fire policemen were
on duty all day and two last night.
A protest was made to the police
by citizens about the reopening OF
that section of the sidewalk whers
the fire occurred 1t is likely that
the ropes VIII be taken down and the
stores boarded up.
The fire police and the former
tenants of the burned structures had
a few clashes yesterday, as the police
had orders to let no one in the places
and they tried TO live up TO the order
Later on, the tenants were allowed
to go through the ruins.
Blaze in Gienn's Place.
About 4 o'clock yesterday after

visited the ruins yesterday afternoon.
Repair Alarm System.
Chief Mullen, of the Fire Depart
ment, together with an official of the
New York & New Jersey Telephone
company, made an inspection of the
different fire alarm boxes through
out the city this morning, and silent
alarms were sent in from nearly all
of them.
The official told the chief that the
telehone company would fix the en-
tire system at once and that it would
be in order by Saturday.
To see If the alarm system is in
good condition, Chief Mullen has de-
cided to turn in an alarm from box
81, at State and Smith streets, Sat-
urday afternoon at 2 O'Clock, as
test.
Fire Chief Mullen, and Assistant
Chiefs Mead and Larson will make q
tour Of inspection of the local fire
houses Saturday afternoon, to see
how much hose the city now owns,
and in what condition it is. The
matter will be reported to the alder
men.
Clue to the Incendiary.
A private detective told a NEWS
reporter that he bod on idea as to
the person who started the fire, and
he felt he could place his hands on
him. Chief Burke, when asked II
any arrest would be made, said that
none would be made today, anyway,

HELD WITHOUT
bail ON CHARGE
OF HIS FIANCEE

Samuel Brody, dressmaker, oi
State street, tainted in police court
this morning while he was giving tes-
timony as a witness for his niece
Miss Lena Roman, of 428 Ninth
street, New York, who accused David
Esteren, saloonkeeper, of 81 Di-
vision street, this city, with administ-
ering drug to her in drink OF
brandy, and assaulting her.
Esteren, who was arrested last
night by Patrolman Quinlan on Miss
Romans complaint, was held with
out bail to await the action of the
grand jury.
In court this morning Miss Roman
told her story through her attorney,
Leo Goldberger. She met Esteren
some time ago at the store of Mr..
Brody, and later became engaged to
him, and they were to have been mar
ried. Miss Roman said she came to
this city Friday night, as a guest at
the home Of Esteren, and that Sat
urday night he tried to get the best
of her. She fought him until she
fell exhausted, and then, she de-
clared, he gave her a glass of brandy.
The girl said that she lost conscious
ness, and knew nothing more until
she awoke and found Esteren in the
room.
On Sunday, the girl asserted, she
wanted to go to her home in New
York, but Esteren would not let her,
and that night he attempted to as
sault her again. During her testi-
mony, Esteren had little to say, but
one time he whispered to the girl and
she told the court that he had asked
her to withdraw the charge.
Samuel Brody was then called, and
while he was testifying he fell in a
faint. After working over Brody for
fully ten minutes, the officers revived
him. He was not asked to testify
again.
