ANOTHER MAN KILLED
BY SUPPOSED MANIAC
TRAGEDY OCCURS AT SCENE
OF FORMER MURDER
Both Crimes Believed to Be Those OF
Same Man, as Manner of Kill
ing Is Identical in
Each

EUREKA, Cal, Nov. 27-The mys-
terry which surrounds the shooting and
killing of Bert Porter, on a lake near
Trinidad yesterday afternoon, was in
tensified and complicated today by the
shooting of Joseph Viera at Glendale,
near the scene of the former tragedy,
under identical circumstances.
Porter was shot while he was duck
hunting, a rifle bullet piercing his brain
while he was seated on the bank OF
the lake, gun in hand.
Viera was shot this morning While
going to work in the woods. Men near
by heard a rifles crack and Viera' s
dying scream.
Rushing to his side, they found the
unfortunate man in death struggle.
AS in the case of Porter, Viera was
shot with "a 1890 rifle with mushroom
bullet, which lends color to the theory
of the officers that both crimes were
committed by the same person.
1t was at first believed the shooting
of Porter might have been accidental,
but now the general theory is both
were premeditated murders.
Valuables left on the person of Viera
refute a robbery theory, and the con-
sensus of opinion is the murders were
the work of a maniac.
A man seen in the vicinity of Trini-
dad at the time Porter was shot yes
terday tallies with the description of a
man seen near Glendale today, and 1t is
thought he is the murderer.
He is described as being short, clean
shaven, carrying blankets and armed
with a rifle. Four posses of more than
100 men have been formed to hunt for
the murderer.

and fatally wounded ]. F. Wilbur Sar-
man, a roomer at his house early this
afternoon, and committed suicide by
cutting his throat with a razor.
LAWN, who was 40 years old, had
been ill in bed for some time, and it
was during this period, it is alleged,
that Sarman annoyed Mrs. LAWN. He
was ordered away from the house by
the husband, it is said, but refused to
leave unless his rent was refunded. A
number of quarrels followed, culmin-
ating in the tragedy today.
Sarman entered his room this after
noon and began to pack his trunk, pre-
paratory to leaving. LAWN knocked on
the door and as soon as it was opened
he began firing. He fired four Shots
three of which took effect, and then
turned the weapon upon himself. The
cartridge failed to explode, and LAWN,
dropping the smoking weapon, secured
a razor from his own room and slashed
his throat, severing the main artery.
He expired a few minutes later.
Sarman was taken to the Emergency
hospital for treatment, but is not eX-
pected to live.s

Politicians in Consultation.

Judge j. II. Polsgrove, of Frankfort,
e,ndjdate fOr he Democratic nomina-
ron for C m nonw ealth's At .n:n ~ from
tbis district, was In the city Tuesday
i, consultation with Mr.. N. G. Fisher,
Who is a candidate for the same Office.
II < understood that Judge Polsgrove
was here to try to get Mr.. Fisher to
withdraw, so that the opposition in
t3e district TO Col. r. b. Franklin
rould be concentrated on one candidate.
MIR. Fisher, it is said. answered his
arorIment by counter-propositio
proposing to the Judge that he get o1t
of the way and let him take Col.
Frsnklin's scalp. Mr.. Fisher claimed
that if the race is between Mr.. Frank
lin and Judge Polsgrove that the
former would carry Bourbon by
majority that Polsgrove could not
overcome in Franklin county. Mr..
Fisher also claimed that by him carry
ing Bourbon by large majority, and
getting a good vote in Scott and Wood
ford, he is in a position to clean up
with both of the contending candi-
dates.
Bourbon county is entitled to this
Office and it is u to the 70 ers of this
co Inty whether or not they will take
this opportunity to secure it. If the
Democrats of this county will get
together and give Mr.. Fisher their
solid support, as other counties do their
candidates, then Bourbon can get what
is rightly and justly due in the way of
district Offices. Let these fractional
fights end and suppo-t county men and
we will then become a power in dis
trict politics.
