TWO CONDEMNED
MURDERERS FIGHT
DUEL, ONE DIES
THE Wolf" California 8 Most
Famous Convict Stays
Enemy.

Folsom, Penitentiary, Calf, Sept.
0-Francisco Quijada, a half-breed
Mexican Yaqui Indian, who was under
sentence of death, was stabbed to
death last night in the run-a-round,
about 'Murderer's Row" by Jake
Oppenheimer. another condemned
prisoner who is the most famous con-
Wet in California. and who was known
as THE Wolf" owing to his vicious
nature.
The men fought a duel, that was
the outcome of a long standing feud
between them. The turnkey had un-
locked the doors, to allow them to ex-
ercise and to ventilate their cells.
Hardly had Quiiada stepped from
his cell when he hurled a challenge
at Oppenheimer for a fight and be-
fore he could well defend himself. the
latter leaped upon him and stabbed
him to death with a sharp pointed
steel rod only few inches in length
which he had in some manner secur-
ell and concealed in his clothing.
Prison authorities claim that they
have no knowledge how Oppenheimer
secured the steel rod. He afterward
stated that he had sharpened the in
strument by patiently grinding it
against the steel bars of his cell.
Oppenheimer states that he is nov
ready to die, that he has killed his
enemy. He started his career of
crime, while employed as a messenger
boy on the streets of san Francisco.
He has killed two other prisoners in
the penitentiary and ~has taken
prominent parls in numerous plots
against and attacks on the prison
guards.
Fearing that there are other feuds
within the prison walls, the guards
are today unusually alert

MANUEL s PLOT
IS DISCOVERED
Portuguese Republican Govern
ment Finds Headquarters Of
Royals Conspirators,

Lisbon, Portugal, Sept. 20.-As a
result of the discovery OF a formid-
able plot of the' Royalists against the
new Portugese republican government,
wholesale arrests of alleged conspira-
tors are today being made by the re-
publican authorities and more are eX-
pected to follow, incluc,ng many pro-
minent members of the Royal,st par
ty.
Secret service agents of the govern
ment located the headquarters of the
conspirators at Irrano CASTILLO and
confiscated a large quantity of docu-
ments of the greatest Importance to
the republic and which reveal the deep
laid plots of the royalists.
These documents implicate a large
number of personal friends and sup
porrers of the deposed King Manuel,
against whom the republicans rebell-
ed and overthrew when his infatua-
uon for the actress. Gaby Des!lis. led
him TO many indiscretions.
Officials high in the government
charge that King Manuel is encourag-
ing the royalists from his haven in
England and, as It was agreed he
would be allowed to sojourn in Eng.
land provided he attempted to fer
ment no trouble it is thought likely
that he will be given a hint by the
British government TO find refuge else
where
