EMPLOYER
HAS BEEN MURDERED
OFFICERS WARNED TO BE ON
LOOKOUT FOR SUSPECT
Party Starts on Prospecting Trip Into
Fontana Mountain Section, and
Promoter is Thought to
Have Been Slain

SAN BERNARDINO, June 2O.-The
officers of this county have been noti-
fed to arrest a Mexican named Fran
els Marquee, who is believed to have
formerly worked near Victorville on
the desert, and who, it is thought, MUIR
dered his employer, P. B. Hodges, in
the Fontana mountains, in Arizona,
last Thursday.
posse has been organized and is
searching the country in the vicinity
of the crime in an effort to find Mar
quez, although nothing has been heard
from the party. 1t is thought, how
ever, that Marquee made his escape
and is possibly now in the desert re-
gions of this county.
The story of the terrible crime was
brought to a little station called
Dome. on the Southern Pacific, by
Manuel Arviso, who was with the
party, although he knows nothing of
the exact fate of his employer.
Hodges, who had passed considerable
money in sending an outfit into the
Fontana mountains in the search of
geld, left his ranch, five miles up the
ella river. Monday. accompanied by
the two Mexicans.
After four days of riding they
reached the mountainous regions near
where the claim was supposed to be
located. About II o'clock Thursday
morning, according to Arviso, Marquee
said he had seen a mountain sheep and
went up the side of hill out of sight.
A shot was heard and then Marquee
returned and beckoned to Hodges to
come and help him carry the animal.
After waiting for half an hour Ar
viso stated he heard another shot and
then Marquee appeared and called him
to come and bring a knife. While part
way up the slope the other Mexican
suddenly fired on him, the bullet graz
ing his side Arviso then ran to shell
ter and after calling to Hodges for
some time and receiving no answer
leaped on his horse and started for
Dome, where he arrived late that night
covered with blood and almost ex-
hausted.

PRoHIRlTIoNISTS TO WAGE
WAR ON LIBERAL MEASURE

LONG BEACH, June 20.-At. the au-
ditorium tonight a mass meeting was
held by the Prohibitionists Mayor
Windham and City Attorney Long
made speeches. The meeting was
called to stir up more opposition to
the proposed change of ordinance 50, by
which change some freedom of choice
as to what they could drink with their
meals would be left to the tourists who
visit this city People from all the
churches attended the meeting and a
joint choir furnished music.
The Prohibitionists have opened
headquarters on the second floor of the
National bank building and are cam
paigning with all the force possible
against the issue
The proposed new ordinance would
allow people to drink wine in their own
homes and, it is believed, would en-
able guests at the Virginia hotel to
have their own wines served with their
meals

Woman Suddenly Disappears

LONG BEACH. June 20.-Mrs. E. NJ.
Hurd, so years old, who formerly lived
in Avon, Colo, and came to Long Beach
two weeks ago, engaging rooms at the
West Virginia apartments on East
First street, disappeared after she had
been there one night and has not been
seen since.
She is described as tall of dark COM
plexion and when last seen she wore a
dark brown dress and a light coat. Her
effects, including two suit cases, are
still at the West Virginia. A friend,
Isabelle Roth, lived at 1879 Fraser street,

MERCHANTS WOULD HAVE BAN
PUT ON ITINERANT statesmen

PASADENA, June 20-The Pasadena
Merchants association. backed by the
board of trade, is investigating the or
dinances of other cities in the state re-
garding the licensing of peddlers and
itinerant statesmen, including the class
which conduct auctions for few days
or weeks.
A short time ago merchants of the
city petitioned the cit council asking
that a heavy license fee be imposed
by the city on this class of business,
and when the hearing was held mer-
chants declared that in many cases an
inferior class of goods was disposed OF
in this way at prices which while ap-
narentlv low. were really more than
the actual value of the goods. When
complete data has been gathered 1t is
probable the association will present
a petition to the council asking for
legislation which will hamper the auc-
ton sales people in doing business in
this city.

WILL NOT PERMIT SALOON ON
SALT LAKE CoMPANY'S LAND

SAN PEDRO, June 2O,-Even if the
city trustees do see fit to grant saloon
license on Terminal Island, which
action will be against the wishes of the
property owners in that portion of San
Pedro lately acquired from Long Beach,
the homes of the liquor interests to
locate at the old Terminal bar will meet
with disappointment.
Senator w. A. Clark of the Salt Lake
railroad was here yesterday and stated
positively no property of the Salt Lake
road ever would be allowed to be used
for saloon purposes.
While the trustees may grant the
license for Terminal in face of the
vigorous protest which is being pre-
pared. those who are in a position to
know say that the East San Pedro
license will be granted and the Ter
minal Island application held up until
after the consolidation election.

NEW YORK STOCK
AND BOND MARKET

NEW YORK, April 19.--The stock market
once more proved its power of resistance TO
what were considered the unfavorable rae
tors in the outlook and developed consid-
erable degree of positive strength. The
bears continued their covering operations
today when they perceived how little eHeot
was produced on foreign stock markets ~
the admittedly serious situation OF anelrs IN
Turkey The speculative tone abroad was
confident. London. instead Of aiding in de-
pressing prices here was buyer OF STOCKS
on considerable scale. The circulation
over the week end OF market letters and re-
views brought no increase OF outside selling
orders. Influences from the wheat market
also were not calculated 10 disturb leeilns
amongst the financial element. weather du-
vices from the crop regions were assuring.
The weather situation probably had as mucn
general influence on the tone OF the market
as any other factor, During the morning
hours there was more confident expectations
than for some time past that decision from
the supreme court would be forthcoming To-
day the validity of the commodities
clause. The dealings haBged for time
after It became known that the decision was
not to come today
The coalers maintained their strength we'll
The metal industrials also were strong sus-
taining influence in the market movement
embracing not only the iron, steel, copper
and lead leaders but companies engaged IN
more advanced stages in those industries IN
cluding electrical equipment companies
steel trade sentiment is reported conserYa-
tive, the continued heavy tendency OF the
price movement suoh as today's announce
ment of reductions In steel wire prices IN
spite of the unimproved prices, however, the
decided expansion in orders In some
branches of the steel industry is accepted as
a certain sign of later restoration OF condi-
tons prosperous to the trade. Railroad
traffic officials share in the conservatism ex-
pressed from the steel trade, and of any
improvement in the freight movement The
hopeful opinions on the prospects, reported
from the head of the Union Pacihcs banking
house in the course of his travels abroad
was a perceptlble influence In keeping up
the tone of the days stock market, the
renewal OF the gold flow from London to
Paris and the demonstrated ability OF Lon
don bankers to command gold in New York

CHICAGO GRAIN

Special service TO The Herald by Dick Bros.
& Co., members Chicago Board Of Trade, Brad
bury building, Los Angeles
CHICAGO. April 1e.-Traders had very
large visible supply of news today, both for
eign and domestic, There seemed to be more
disposition on the part of the general trade to
follow bear news and give less careful atten-
ton to the bulish features. Liverpool was
weak and lower at the time of opening here,
and the July price had a break of 1hc on first
trades. The market recovered quickly, improv-
ed 1c from the low point on the evidence that
the visible supply would decrease heavily,
which 1t did showing a loss of {, 1886, 900 bushels
for the week. There was other bull news which
helped to bring about the best prices of the
day. Public houses here reduced stocks 25lOOO
bushels. At Minneapolis the mills are bidding
2ikc to &c over May for cash wheat. At Toledo
mills are bidding 81. 40 for May wheat. The
worlds shipments were larger than expected, a
little over 1000 900 bushels, but there was a
decrease of nearly 100000 bushels in wheat
ahoat to Europe Reports from our own crop
observer and others told of decidedly poor con-
ditions developing in portions of Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska. Broomhall cables a
report that Argentine agents are notifying
Liverpool houses that only about 5000, 900
bushels of wheat remain for export to Europe.
which figures are almost too sensational to be-
lieve The trade, however, jumped at another
Broomhal report that Russia Will ship $780,
900 bushels week for the next month This
was the news which broke prices after the
strong early recovery.
Offerings of corn were light as before the
opening today, and there was sufficient volume
of buying to give prices a sharp uplift. In
fuenced somewhat by wheat there was a re-
action at the close of 1sc to Nc from the high
point. All corn centers of any Importance
are cutting stocks sharply, country is bullish
and no fighting the advance here.
Oats seeding is backward in Iowa and Ne
braska. Market has had such an advance,
however, that there is disposition to take
profits on swels.
The provisions market was a small affair,
but strong on moderate offerings. Looks like a
purchase on the setbacks.
