"INDIAN PETE" IS ARRESTED

THE CIRCUMSTANCES POINT TOHIS GUILT

Collins Was Known to Have Money.The Indian Fisherman Grows

Suddenly Wealthy

SANTA MONICA, Feb. It?Teeterdnyabout noon two women residing in a SouthBeach cottage at Santa Jdonica, whenmaking a short cut across the sand hills,discovered the body of a man lying facedownward in the sand. On going closer,the women saw that his head had beencrushed In, and notified L. 13. Osborne,agent for Kinney & Ryan, owners of thatpart of the beach. The marshal and un-dertaker were telephoned for, and pro-ceeded to the spot. They found the manlying in a crouching position, face down-ward, with a terrible wound in the backOf his head, which apparently had beenmade by a blow from the back of an axeblade. The man was identified by South-siders as Charles Collins, who had arrivedfrom Arizona last Saturday. Collins owneda lot in the Commercial company's tract,and had begun the erection ofa small housethereon. Next to this lot resides PeteGarcia, or "Indian Pete" as he is commonly

known, and Ills wife. Collins had been onmoro or less friendly terms with his un-savory neighbors, nnd slept ln a poor ex-cuse for a shelter very near to their shack*.

Pete is a fisherman by occupation, andhe and Mrs. Pete spend most of his smallearnings for bad whisky. The latter, whensought by Officer Dexter, was found inbed,sleeping oft the effects of a too generousTn-dulgence the night before. Inquiry showedthat Pete had disappeared, and his wifetold conflicting stories concerning hiswhereabouts, at lirst saying he hadgone to the old Santa Monica canyon,nnd then that he was lishing. finally an-nouncing that he was in Los Angeles, andtrying to stick to that assertion.

On February 9th Collins purchased a billOf lumber from Xebeker, the lumberman,to the amount of $30.T5. After he paid forthe material two twenty-dollar gold pieceswere seen in his hand by Mr. Xebeker. andCollins remarked that he would soon be infor some more lumber, as he intended tobuild a good house.

tVhen found there was no money in thepockets of the dead man's clothes, and hiswatch was missing. Officers were detailedto watch the house, and at tl o'clock lastnight Officer Dexter found Pete standingon the sidewalk at the terminus of the elec-tric line, counting some money. He hailJust returned from Los Angeles, and wasdecked out in a new suit of clothes, fromhat to boots, nnd was counting up his cashon hand. The officer thought the evidenceagainst him sufficiently strong, and lockedhim up until after the inquest should beheld.

PETE'S RECORDDeputy County Coroner Summerfield left

at v o'clock for Santa Monica, where aninvestigation of the surroundings andgeneral facts was made. Everything point-ed to the fact that ? Indian Pete" wasclosely connected with the horrible crime,and immediate steps were taken tn guardthe prisoner closely, who bad already an-nounced his intention of breaking jail be-fore ttnother twenty-four hours had passed.The inquest will be held this morning byCoroner Campbell.

"Indian Pete" Is quite well known to Ihelocal police, and he has for some timeoccupied a fairly prominent place in the"rogues' gallery." Detective Aubla knowshim well, and characterizes him as a nat-ural-born criminal. He spends his sum-mers at Santa Monica, where he lives onShellfish, selling what he cannot eat. Hehas frequently appeared before the localcourts here on charges of petty larceny,etc., and little surprise is expressed at bislatest escapade. He will, in tillprobability,be brought to the county jail today.

A NEW WATER COMPANY

Randsburg's Need to Be Satisfied?AFatal Accident

RANDSBURG, Feb. 11.?George Cook, nminer emplyed nt the Rand, met with anaccident this morning which may result inhis death. He was working in one of thetrenches, and, losing his balance, fell Intoan open cut, falling across an ore bucket ashe reached the bottom. His back is badlyinjured, and it is feared Is broken.

The Yellow Aster company laid off anumber of men this week, giving as areason that the milling facilities of thecamp are Inadequate to mill the ore asfast as the force heretofore employed couldtake it out, and that the ore is safer inthe drifts and slopes than on the dumps.The ore from the company's mines growsricher right along, and there seems to beno end to the quantity.

Trenching for the pipe which is to belaid to carry water all over town for firepurposes was begun today. When corn-dieted ft will b.1 fed from a 100,000 gallon;ank. to be constructed on the hill back>f the Kinyon mine. The pressure de-rived from this pqint will be sufficient toIhrow a stream from a two-inch nozzle|eventy-five feet In the air.

The'Randsburg Water company, with a

Icapital stock of, $100,000, all subscribed for.was incorporated in Fresno early thisweek. Alva E. Snow, L L. Cory, W. C.Colson, O. L. Everts, Goorge W. Jones andD. S. Ewlhg are the incorporators, andall but the last named constitute . theboard of directors. The company owns theSquaw Springs' wells, four and a half mileseast of Johannesburg, from which a dailyHow of five miners' Inches of water hasalready been secured. This, so water ex-perts say, can be doubled with but littlemore development of the wells. The com-pany will excavate a reservoir at the topof the mountain back of the wells, and ata height sufficient to carry the water over(he King Solomon divide by gravity intoRandsburg. The water will be pumped Intothe reservoir from tho wells, and two ormore pumps and engines will be requiredto do the work. As a natural sequence tthis enterprise, more substantial buildingswill bo built in Randsburg. as there willthen be all the protection necessary fromthe ravages of fire. It Is more than likely,too, that as soon as the system Is com-pleted a ten or twenty stamp gold millwill be under way.

Alfred Harrell. county sueprlntendent ofschools and publisher of the BakersfleldCalirornian, was a visitor here several

Idays this week.W. J. Clark of Ontario arrived here on

Tuesday and will have charge of L,ittleButte affairs during the absenco of Su-perintendent Allen In the east.

Reports have reached here of some re-cent rich finds In the Panamlnt and Slaterange country. Parties bringing in the re-ports verify their statements by exhibit-ing extremly rich quartz. These sections,were they not so isolated, would long agohave been the scene of extensive miningactivity.

Towne, the speaker on the silver ques-tion, who is to address the people herenext Wednesday evenig. Not only- isevery member of the committee of thirty-

five hard at work, but the rank and file areequally enthusiastic. It was intended tohave the gathering in the opera house, butas the interest increased, it was found thatit would be entirely too small, and the pa-vilion was secured where several thousandcan be accommodated if they should come.The advertising is heavy, taking wholepage ads in the Republican papers, in ad-dition to sending out a supply of postersaround the county, and the occasion be-gins to promise to be a silver fiesta.

Assemblyman W. R. Guy of San Diego,who is said to be working for a nominationon the Republican ticket for attorney gen-eral at the coming election, Is in the city inconsultation with the local leaders of thatparty, trying to pipe the stream of Repub-licanism into his dooryard. He is not cre-ating any great furore as yet.

The making of political slates Is going onhere with an enthusiasm worthy a betterobject, but the frames are all loose at thejoints, and the wrecks are numerous.

PERRIS' PERIL

Decision on an Important IrrigationSuit Anxiously Awaited

RIVERSIDE, Feb. 12.?An Importantsuit, which was brought to determine thelegality of tho Perrls irrigation districtand to set aside the bond issue of the dis-trict, will be decided by Judge Noyes of thesuperior court Monday. The suit wasbrought in the name of the state for theresidents of the district, and much de-pends upon which way the case is decided,if against the settlers, then It means thatmany of them will have to quit their lands,for they cannot pay the bonds and inter-est. If the decision should be against thesettlers it will mean quite a set back to theprogress of the Ferris valley and indirectlyagainst the interests of the county. While,of course, the text of the decision Is un-known as yet. It is rumored that It Isagainst the settlers and that it will upholdthe legality of both the district and bonds.

A DOUBLE ALARM

A Fire Horse That Knew His Dutyand Performed It

SAN BERNARDINO. Feb. 12.?There wasan alarm of fire rung in about S o'clock onFriday evning that proved to be from thecottage of Mrs. Susan Folks, a widow, atthe corner of Eighth and I streets. Beforethe fire dpeartment could make the run ofa mile and a half, there was but little of thebuilding left. The neighbors, however,had assembled, and saved the contents ofthe house, but the cottage, valued at about11000, was a total loss, with but light in-surance on it. As the flames came outlirst around the chimney it was evidentlycaused by a defective flue, and caught fromthe supper fire. The house was empty atthe time, as the occupants were down inthe city. This misfortune followed closeon the arrival of the news that the motherot Mrs. Folks, Mrs. Susan C. Case, haddied the same day at Willows, in the north-ern part of the state. Mrs. Case was 81years of age, and formerly lived in thiscity.

A second alarm w as turned in at 9:3f> fromthe same source, the flames, which it wassupposed were subdued, breaking out againIn the ruins. The run was made again,and the fire completely deluged with water.A singular circumstance in connectionwith the latter run wa.s the conduct of theold lire horse. Frank, who, since the deathof his mate, had not been used on thewagon, as he made way for a younger team.He was kiept in a stable at the rear of thelire department quarters, and wheneverthere is an alarm he tries to make a breakfor liberty, and last night he succeeded inbreaking his halter and getting out of thestable. The number rung in was "12,"and Frank took the lead of all the appa-ratus, making the run in his best style, tak-ing the shortest route ot that box, arriv-ing far in advance of the regular team.Reaching he box. which was still quite adistance from the fire, Frank took a lookat the surroundings, and, locating the fire,he again started for the scene at his bestspeed. He was just showing the youngteam how tile work ought to be done.

The salesman thought therewas something wrong, and kept an eye onboth men. A,s they turned to leave thestore without buying, Horowitz noticedthe overcoat worn by one of the menbulged out more than when he entered thestore. Stepping in front he saw a bit of

new cloth peeping out from under the old.and with "What have you got here?" hepulled out an entire suit of clothes fromunder the overcoat. The men ran, onegoing down and the other up Third streetas the alarm was given. As the man whotook the clothes reached the corner of Dstreet he met A. M. Ham coming up thestreet, who seized the thief, and to his re-mark, "Let me go or I will shoot you," heanswered, "Oh, pshaw, Ican handle twenty-men like you," and made his word goodby turning the man over to Constable T. J.West, and he was locked up. The otherescaped. When brought up before JusticeKnox the man was given 120 days In jail.Another hobo who tried to rob the clothesline of a Chinaman was given 60 days, be-sides a good beating w hen caught.

RIVERSIDE, Feb. 12.?50 far the report-ers have been unable to secure an Interviewwith the Baroness Harden-Hlckey, and allstories of interviews sent out from thiscity are fakes, pure and simple. Thebaroness has recently leased one of thetine residence on North Brockton avenue,known as the Jerecki place, but at thetime of the suicide of her husband shehad not as yet moved in. and pendingthe fitting up of the house she has beenthe guest of different families down theavenue. A Herald reporter sought an In-terview with the lady today, but on callingat tho Brockton avenue house was In-formed that she was at Corona.

Months before the date of the suicide ofthe baron rumors of his disagreement withthe baroness were current here, and thevery general Impression was prevalentthat they had separated, but no divorceproveedlngs have ever been filed In thiscounty.

One thing is certain, and that is that thedeath of her husband has not affected thebaroness sufficiently to cause her to makeany move towards going to San Francisco,whither it is understood that she orderedthe body shipped. Up to a very recent dalethe baroness resided much of her time atCorona, where she is the owner of somevery line property.

A BOLD ROBBERY

JUSTICE WITHEHAL'S JEWELRYSTORE BTTRGLAIUZED

Two Villains Pinioned the Judge andat the Point of a Revolver

Made Him Disgorge

REDONDO, Feb. 12.?One of the coolestrobberies ln tho annals of crime in LosAngeles county took place here Fridaynight about 8 oclock. R. H. Wltheral, thelocal justice ofthe peace and Jeweler, wasseated at the work bench ln the rear ofhis shop, when a stranger entered andhanded Mr. Wltheral' an old chair, askinghim at the same time the value of It. Whiletalking about the matter the strangerstepped to the end of the counter, thusnecessitating the Judge's turning his backcompletely toward the door.

At this juncture another man entered,his entrance of course attracting the at-tention of the unusupecting victim. Theman who had offered tho chair for saleimmediately pinioned the judge's arms to-gether, while No. 2 pointed a revolver athim with the remark,"Hand out your mon-ey or i ll shoot you, and also keep still."

Thus admonished, the judge was power-less to act, and had to submit to a thor-ough search of his clothing by the robbers,who found an envelope, which they verycoolly opened and abstracted money to theamount of $6.20.

One of the robbers also took out thejudge's watch, but the judge, who wascool and collected us a man could be un-der such circumstances, told them theyhad better not take any watches, as theybelonged to his customers, at which sug-gestion the robbers desisted in their at-tempts to take anything else.

Robber No. 1 then let go of the Judge,while No. 2 kept him covered with the re-volver, and went outside the door, keep-ing his hand on the knob and holding thedoor partly open and looking up and downthe street. No. 2 then backed away, stillkeeping the revolver pointed at the judge,until the door wus reached, and then, po-litely bidding the judge "Good night,"randown the street.

The alarm was immediately given, andMarshal Maxey organized several posses,who scoured the country In all directions,but their efforts were unavailing.

The men answer to the following descrip-tion: No. 1 was the taller man. about 5feet 9 or 10 mc hes, slim build, light com-plexion, well dressed in dark suit of clothesand about 26 or 28 years of age.; smoothface, and wearing a soft slouch hat._ No. 2, the shorter of the men. was about5 feet 3 Inches, dark mustache, dark clothesand wearing a maroon colored sweater,laced ln front, and with a silk handkerchieftied around his neck. He was about 22years old and of heavy build.

THE LONG AND SHORT MENChief of Police Glass was notified by

telephone, and also by message, yesterdayof the robbery of Justice of the PeaceWltheral. The description of the rob-bers given in the foregoing was also fur-nished him. It answers in detail to thedescriptions of the two men who haveduring the past week held up and robbedlive men on the streets of this city. Thechief said yesterday that he would send aman to Redondo to assist the officersthere in apprehending the men. A rewardof $50 has been offered for the capture ofthe robbers.
