MRS. DUFFY WILL GO
TO MONTANA HOME
Murderer Is Recovering Rapidly, but
Still Asserts That He Has No
Recollection of Killing
His Son

Mrs. Mary Duffy, who narrowly es-
capped being instantly killed by her hus-
band, Henry ]. Duffy, when he be-
headed his two children, Mrs. Zaidah
La Com and Fred A. Duffy, Thursday
morning, is still a patient at the mat
ron's department of the receiving hos
pital, where she has been since the day
of the tragedy.
The wound on her left arm, which
she received while trying to take the
ak from Duffy has healed, her mental
condition has improved and all symp-
toms of her impaired reason have dis
appeared.
Her son, Clark Duffy, who lives in
Thompson, Mont, will arrive today and
take her back to his home, where she
will remain.
Frederick La Com. the son-in-law
visited Mrs. Duffy yesterday, and they
conversed for a considerable tlme
When the tragedy was mentioned both
became overcome with emotion, and
La Com bade his mother-in-law good
by and terminated his visit.
At the county hospital Henry j.
Duffy, the murderer, is rapidly recover
ing from the self-intiicted wound in
his throat. He still asserts that he
does not remember killing his son and
that he has only a hazy recollection OF
the circumstances of his daughter s
death. The hospital authorities say
that Duffy is suffering from number
of delusions and is alreligious maniac
When the condition of Duffy was
described to Mrs. Duffy she declared
that her husband has been acting the
same way for the last ten years, and
that she secured divorce from him on
the ground of cruelty. She asserts
that he was as crazy ten years ago as
he is today.

PRICE OF FUEL IS
BEGINNING TO RISE
COAL GOES UP FIFTY CENTS
THE TON
Trade Declares 1t Is Anxious to Pre-
vent Famine and Induce Gus
toners to Lay In Stocks
Early

"Going up is the motto of fuel and
feed this week. The retail price OF
coal is so cents higher this week thar
it was last, and, beginning today, the
wholesale price has advanced 81. This
last is more restoration Of summer
cut than fresh advance. Wholesale
dealers made a reduction of that
amount early in the summer for the
purpose Of encouraging the laying in OF
as much coal as possible early in the
summer. Retail dealers generally took
advantage of this and have laid in
good stocks.
Many consumers have bought their
winter fuel at the low rate. Those who
have not may still save money by buy
ing soon, according to local dealers,
for the winter rate will not be in effect
for thirty days.
1--WE have been trying every way pos
sible to prevent anything like the coal
famine of two years ago." says j. G..
Lawrence, district superintendent of
the American Fuel company. "Condi-
tions, so far as the supply is concerned,
are normal at this time. Retailers have
been putting in good stocks and are
endeavoring to induce their customers
to get in their winter supplies early.
For that reason they have made the
advance only 80 cents a ton at this
time, and the full winter rate will not
be made till later.
Coal is the lowest class Of freight,
and for that reason will be given pre-
cedence over the other traffic, which
will be heavier from now on. Practi-
cally all our coal comes to Los Angeles
by rail, most of 1t from Colorado and
New Mexico, and very little is shipped
in by water. So it is necessary for the
coal man to be forehanded and have
his stocks in before freight traffic be-
gins to show congestion. We have
tried in doing that to avoid any possi-
bility of another coal famine"

SHOT DOWN BY
FELLOW WORKER
FEUD COMES TO PROBABLY
FATAL ENDING
sLAVoNIAN TAKES DELIBERATE
AIM AT VICTIM
WouId-Be Murderer Feigns Drunken
ness, Hides In Swamp and Is
Dragged Out by Persons
Who Heard Firing

AS the result of trouble of long
standing between etwo laborers en-
ployed by the Los Angeles-Pacific
company at Sherman, L. Garcia, aged
25, was shot in the breast and probably
fatally wounded and a Slavoniah,
whose name has not been ascertained, is
prisoner in the county jail charged
with the shooting.
The difficulty occurred yesterday at
4 o clock when the two men met and
engaged in an alteration Suddenly the
Slavonian jerked out heavy revolver
and fired at Garcia, missing him. Then,
taking deliberate aim, the 'Slavonian
sent bullet into GarciaS breast.
AS soon as he realized what he had
done, the would-be murderer, bystand-
ers declare, feigned drunkenness and
staggered about. Persons hearing the
shots rushed to the scene, but the man
who did the shooting stood them off
with his weapon and then made run
for a clump of weeds near a small
pond, short distance away.
Two citizens, more resolute than the
others, gave chase, searched the under
brush and found the Slavonian lying
in the water with only his head above
the surface. He was disarmed and
taken back to where the wounded man
lay. Garcia identified his assailant,
who was turned over to Constable S.
F. Bottomfeld, brought to Los Angeles
and placed in the county jail.
Under Sheriff Dishman was notified
of the shooting Immediately after it oc-
Cured. He arranged for a special car
to bring the wounded man to Los An
geles. The county hospital was notified,
an ambulance met the car at the Plaza
and Garcia was hurled to the hospital
for treatment.
At the county Jail the man charged
with the shooting refuses to talk. He
feigns drunkenness and when asked his
name replies: "Me no sabe." Little is
known regarding the men, other than
that they were employed by the Los
Angeles Pacific company at a grading
camn at Sherman,

CONFUSION PROBABLE AT
REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
Supervisors Delay Issuing Certificates
of Election Until Today, and No
Delivery Is Likely Until
Tuesday

Confusion will mark the session of
the Republican county convention at
Shriners' Auditorium next Tuesday.
The action of the board of super
visors in holding over until today its
decision as to whether certificates of
election shall be mailed to delegates
or handed to them at the convention
will result in but one action, that of
distributing the coveted slips to the
delegates, probably through the central
committee, at the auditorium when
they assemble Tuesday morning.
No certificates will be issued to the
country delegates. They will be seated
by means of the roll call.
One of the picturesque fights on the
floor will be that of the friends of
Jacob Helm to insure his nomination
for supervisor in pete" Wilson's dis
trict.
Helm has the backing of representa-
tive members of the German-American
societies, is widely known as a con-
tractor and, because of divided issues,
his friends think he will carry away
the nomination.
