One Mexican Killed and An
other Fatally Wounded,
When Pair Refuse to Sub
init to Arrest by CalexicO
Rancher.

Caught in the act of cattle stealing
one unknown Mexican was killed and
his accomplice, Antonio Martinez, was
probably fatally wounded by r. c.
Springer, well known Calexico ranch
er, when the pair refused to submit
to arrest by Springer at an early hour
this morning.
According to Springer he was awak-
ened about 1890 A. M. by commotion
IN his corral. Having previously missed
cattle and horses his first thought was
that was that his dairy cattle were
being stolen.
Rushing out in his night clothes
Springer saw two Mexicans leaving
the corral. The wire fence had been
cut and two cows We're gone. Follow
ing the trail of the cows Springer
found them just across the interna-
tional line, near horse and buggy
hltched in the nearby brush.
Coming cautiously back across the
line Springer hid in corn field to
await the approach of the thieves. He
had not long to wait. 1t was but q
few minutes until he saw the Mexi-
cans approaching. He waited until
the men were opposite him and then
commanded them to throw nv their
hands. Simultaneously the Mexicans
reached for their guns or knives.
Springer fired three shots into the air
to frighten them, but apparently un-
afraid the Mexicans made for him and
it was then that Springer began shoot
ing in earnest.
one manw was almost instantly killed
while the other was seriously wound
ed. Despite his wounds the bandit
made second attempt to get Spring
er. Out of shells, Springer was forced
to beat him over the head with the
butt of his. revolver.
Notifying the sheriff's office as
soon as possible, Deputy Sheriffs Sam
Griffin and Jack Ridgeway hurried TO
the scene of the shooting. The wound
ed man was taken to the Ell Centre
hospital for medical attention and the
body of the dead man taken. to the
Mulligan undertaking establishment.
The coroner's inquest was held this
gorning and was conducted by Dis
trict Attorney Charles T.. Scott. The
verdict reached by the jury reads:
-, W. .iS SotoHei jury, ma tndt

came to his death by gun shot wound
inflicted by r. C. Springer because of
refusal to submit to arrest when found
committing a crime, to wit: cattle
stealing" Mr.. Springer was exhon-
Grated from blame.
The Springer ranch is five miles
west and one-half mile south of CAL
exico, and lies parallel with the border
line road. Mr.. Springer has been
resident of the valley for the past
five years. He came into prominence
in the news columns a few months ago
when he arrested single handed and
delivered to the county officers man
by the name of Reed, wanted at Mar
shall, Ark. on a murder charge.

stares US in the face and, more ele-
quently than words speak of the atti-

who have rejected institutional re-

"They are pleasure mad; they have 4
mania for materialistic indulgence,
while their belief in the modern church
as the representative of God and the

speaker indicated, "is how to vitalize

"This Indifference has arisen from
a niisconception of Coda wrong

critical hours of history the church
has failed to impress the world with
an authoritative message, which would
bring light into the dark hours on the
subject of war, the relations of cap,-
tai and labor and other vital ques-
tons which have been battling the
minds of men,"
Prophets and priests" DR.. Thomas
said, must challenge the people with
a gospel that will restore confidence
in the church, trust in Christ and ser

CONFESSION
UNTRUE
Emphatically Denies That
He Admitted Anything to
Examiner Reporter, and
That Alleged Confession
Is Ruse Of District Att0r-
ney.
(By Associated Press)

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 14-Excerpts
of a conversation alleged to have taken
place last night in the county Jail be-
tween Chandler Sprague, reported for
the Los Angeles Examiner, and Ar
thur c. Burch, indicted with Mrs.
Madclynne Obcnchain for the murder
of J. Bolton Kennedy, broker, were
made public here tonight by w. c..
Doran, chief deputy district attorney.
Mr.. Doran said the conversation be-
tween Sprague, who today was called
before the Los Angeles county grand
jury, and Burch, took place in Burch's
cell in the county Jail, and was OBJ
tanned through the efforts of Malcolm
McLarcn, nationally known detective,
who has the investigation of the Ken
nedy tragedy in charge for the district
attorneys office.
The conversation, Mr.. Doran stated,
related to a copyrighted article pub
lished this morning in the Los Angeles
Examiner, in which Sprague asserted
under his signature that Burch on
Aug. IA, confessed to him the Staying
Of Kennedy, Aug. 5.
McLaren, Mr.. Doran added, obtained
a record Of the Burch-Sprague con-
ference last night by means of de-
vice for recording conversation and
that, aided by stenoS/.pher he
worked 40 minutes in making IT
page transcript which already has be-
come part of the official records in
the case.
Deputy District Attorney Asa
,Keyes declared tonight that the
Sprague article, purporting to detail
a confession by Burch, was correct in
every particular.
"We naturally cannot disclose a
great deal of the evidence in our pos
session at this time, but must wait for
the trial ITSELF" Keyes said. "On the
other hand, can state that We have
evidence that will corroborate the
statements in the Sprague story and |
may go so far as to say l know the
confession is not only real confession
but is also the truth about the mat
ter"
The matter made public tonight by
Mr.. Doran follows:
