time last night when Mrs Bessie

who lived with Mrs Potter and
Philip Smith, negro, were hcld as
SUSPECTS but later Jose Fernandez. q
Young native, was taken into custody
and the officers believe he is the gull
ty man. When found he was too in
toxicated to make coherent state
ment, but the mans shirt front ana
wristbands We're spattered with D.ood
the presence of which he was unable
to explain. Fernandez recently served
a term in the penitentiary and the
Officers say that when drunk he has
been in the habit of threatening to
kin some one, having recently de-
clared that he would kill his own
mother. Robbery could not have
been the motive of this crime as Mrs.
Potter was very poor and an object
of public charity. she came here IS a
young woman forty years ago from
Missouri and shortly after was mHr-
ried to a discharged soldier from Fort
BaVdrd. He and his wife ran q store
