.PEACEMAKER STABBED To
DEATH; KILLS ASSAILANT
Twenty MexicanS Thrown Into
Jail to Await Arrival of
Sheriff at SiIverIake

SAN BERNARDINO, July 25.-J. ].
Williams, foreman for the Tonopah-
Tidewater railroad at Silverlake, was
stabbed to death at o'clock last night
in a Silverlake store by an unknown
Mexican. Williams was attempting to
act as peacemaker/ during a furious
Mexican cutting affair. His interfer-
ence was resented and he was knocked
down bv q rock which struck him in
the face, knocking out his teeth. Be-
fore he could spring to his feet he was
stabbed dozen or more times and
died soon afterward.
Before he died he brought his re-
VolNer into play and killed one MeXi-
can by shot through the heart The
other cholos escaped. During the night
the white men in the settlement got
together and arrested twenty Mexi-
cans, who were thrown into the little
Jail and will be kept under guard un-
til the arrival of the sheriff, who,
with the coroner, left this afternoon
on the Phoenix express for the scene.
Despite the killing of Williams, who
was very popular, it is said no excite
ment exists and there is no danger of
lynching; i'm fact the citizens have to
a man stood by the peace officers of
the mining camp.
John Williams, father of the dead
man, is a Salt Lake section foreman
at Alton. Three, years ago John Will
liams shot and killed three Mexicans
and wounded others who had at
tempted to knife him He acted in
self-defense, but it is believed the
killing of his son last night was due
to revenge.
