Of Antonio Orozco, and the death Of
Orozco at the hands OF Constable

the IS company. A. day or so previous
there had been a dance out at the
camp, at which there was plenty OF
whiskey. and a number Of the men,
including these two had kept up the
drinking and naturally there was
some quarrelling. No one knew what
quarrel preceded the shooting. About

on the cross walk by the Roberts s.

Constable Allen came up, armed with
a rifle. Judge McGrath told him
where the man Was, and he circled
around the corner, and found him
backed up against the fence. The
constable told him to throw up his
hands. The right hand went up, but
only to a level, and he had the pistol
in it, pointing directly at the const-
able, who could hear the click as he
cooked it. He shot, hitting Orozco in
the head, causing immediate death.
Sazueta, who was shot through the
abdomen, lived till the next day, and

VIRGINIA AINSWoRTH'S SUCCESS
ON FIVE CONTINENTS

| Miss Virginia Ainsworth, the talent
! ed prima donna who will appear at
the Opera House Friday night with J.
| X. Gorham's own company presenting
the eastern musical hit, "A Visit to
Paris, is an artist with a great future
ahead of her as a star in this line of
entertainment
She is still a girl, but has record
that only a glance at her numerous
press notices would prove the con-
vincing clincher In the seven years
that she has been before the public
Miss Ainsworth has appeared on five
continents, Europe, Asia, Africa, Aus
,ralia and North America, and with
lished musical comedy and vaudeville
+ favorite in America; in London she re-
mained at the Drury Lane Theater for
nearly year; she played vaudeville
dates in all the principal cities of
South Africa at a princely salary, and
has a musical comedy tour to her
credit through Australia, with a few
weeks each in those cities of India,
China and Japan where the bulk of
the European and American popula-
tion is located.
Next season her prospects loom un-
usually bright. She is to be starred in
an English version of Carmen now
being arranged by Milton Aborn, of
grand opera fame.
In addition to Miss Ainsworth, "A
Visit to Paris" features Bud Duncan,
often styled Little Jeff in Dutch Mr..
Duncan, on account of his size, was
approached times without number to
create the role of the diminutive
bearded individual in Mutt and jeff,
but Mr. Duncan desires to confine him
self to a different plane of comedy.
Miss Myrtle Howard is another tai
ented member of the cast, with rec
ord of several musical comedy sue
cesses to her credit in the east. The
production, as a whole, goes with
snap and vim that characterizes but
few of the present day attractions of
this order.

STORM SEEMS BREWING
IN WESTERN MOUNTAINS

There is every indication that a
stCrm is brewing in the Western
mountains. For two days clouds have
been steadily accommodating, and late
today the chillines sand humidity of
the atmosphere indicates that some
thing out of the ordinary is at hand.
While a storm would not be well
come in the valley, if it implies gen
erous rains on the coast it will be the
means of doing vast good to the farm
ing interests. The coast has suffered
greatly this winter from parching
winds and sparse rainfall, and the out
look for live stock feed is by no means
god. Abundant rain now would there
fore work vast benefit to all interests
In the valley the scarcity Of feed is
very apparent, though shipments of
Ihay continue. Pasturage has ad-
vanced in price very materially, and
|the cost of feed is absorbing large
part OF the increased profit to dairy
hcn coming from the higher price Of
butter fat.
Some of the dairymen ave using cot

tory results, thus increasing the out
put of milk in spite of the food short
