Emilio Garcia, who was sentenced to be hanged today at San Quentin for the Murder of James Guelminot at Col ton on October 29, has confessed his crime in the pres ence of the consul-general of Mexico and District Attorney Daley. When the consul told Garcia there was no hope to be looked for from the governor he said : "Then, it there is no hope for me and I will have to hang, I may as well tell the truth. Juan Ferra struck the first blow and in so doing the knife broke in his hands, but ten strokes like those he made would not have killed the Frenchman. 1 then took the Frenchman's knife out of his pocket, held back his head and cat his throat. Juan Sallas was present and assisted in the murder." The district attorney does not believe Sallas was a party to the crime. Gar cia said Ferra planned the murder to secure $500 supposed to be secreted on Guelmiuoto's ranch. HE DIED IN TIME. Buck's Connection With the Harrington Butchery. San Francisco Poilce In the Absence of Any Other Clue Accuse the Dead Man of the Crime. By the Associated Press. San Francisco, June 5. The Even ing Post states that the entire detective force is convinced that ex-Senator L. W. Buck struck the blows which killed Miss Nellie Harrington last Saturday. Buck died yesterday from the effect of injuries sustained by being thrown from a cart while being driven by a policeman to the office of the chief of police. The conclusions of the police are said to be based on the contents of 150 private letters found in Miss Har rington's room, which are said to indi cate greater intimacy between Buck and the murdered woman than ap peared on the surface. The detectives say the dead senator's actions after the tragedy were suspicious. When he returned to Oakland on the ferry many of his acquaintances dis cussed the murder bat Buck kept silent and although he had the afternoon papers, with accounts of the crime, he said nothing to his family of the mur der, although all the members knew Miss Harrington well.

The first of a series of excur sions to the coast left by the S. F. P. & P. this morning. Another will go out tonight over the Maricopa & Phoenix.

He Heard That Prosperity Had Been Resumed In Arizona. Col. Rayfield of San Francitco, an old and one of the earliest of Ari zonians, arrived in the city yesterday. He is an ex-mayor of Tucson and one of the most noted inn-keepers on the coast. In the palmiest days of the Old Pueblo he was the landlord successively and successfully of the Palace and the San Xavier. While in charge of the former he paid a rental of $40 a day; to accentuate this $1200 a month and to further accentuate it $14, 400 a year. Mind you, this was ex clusive of help about the hotel and all other expenses. Those were golden days. Everybody had gold or else sil ver. Cleveland wasn't to the fore then and silver was as good or better than gold and Col. Rayfield made more money than he knew what to do with. When times began to decline he took time by the forelock and went to Cal ifornia where he has since lived an easy and money-making existence. Word reached him some time ago that Phoenix was becoming a lively town, something like the Arizona towns of twenty years ago, end he came back to see about it. The colonel says he Is surprised, and be at once began looking about for a for a hotel business. CALLED "30." . The Last "Take" of Grant Hendricks "Dumped." The funeral of Grant Hendricks, the printer who died of consumption at the hospital Monday morning, occurred at the undertaking parlors of Randal & Davis yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock.

The deceased had been in Phoenix only a few months, having come here from California for bis health. He was 27 years of age and a native of Oregon. He learned his trade on the Portland Oregonian, and has a wide circle of friends among the craft on the coast. The parents of the deceased live in Mills City, Oregon, and no mem ber of his family could be present at his funeral, but they may draw consolation from the fact that he was tenderlv laid away beneath banks of flowers by his sorrowing fellow craftBmen. AN ARIZONA AH SIN. Bung Loo Dispels a Delusion Among His Countrymen. He Successfully Plays a Trick Which Has Brought Many White Crooks to Grief. ' Bung Loo has scored. Bung Leo is an off-caste Celestial, repudiated and made fun of by his countrymen be cause they said "he no sabe; he crazy lunatic, with buz-z z z wheels in hie head and go whir-r-r-r alle time." They said Bung Loo would be in the fool asylum or the hospital if it wasn't for the munificence of Mandarin Fleishman, who formed a fancy for him some years ago and has kept him in funds and out of trouble since. The only standing Bung Loo enjoys is based on the mutual, curionB and strong at tachment existing between him and Mandarin Fleishman, who, by the way, is a personage little less than the em peror and a great deal bigger than Li Hung Chang. J But Bung Loo did something on his own account yesterday which raised him In the estimation of his country men and shows that he can survive without the friendly favor.of Mandarin Fleishman.' He really did successfully what several white men who thought they were reasonably smooth have tried to do within the last year and failed and were jailed for failing,, Bung Loo's successful exploit came out in an application for a warrant for his arrest based on the statement of Charlie, the Chinese interpreter, who was acting in behalf of the victim, who is himself an English speaking and smooth Chinaman, the proprietor of a wash house. The statement set forth that the night before Bung Loo went to the wash house proprietor and told him he had $32 in a bank and wanted jutthat much mo ney to "play game." He also had a check or draft describing that amount and on the face of it looked official authoritative and good as gold. The wash house men let him have the money, and found out later somehow that the game went against Bung Loo. Yesterday morning Bung Loo called and said he would take the check down to the bank and get it cashed. Said the complainant, "He took it and went and he has never come back no more and we don't know where he is." The designers of Bung Loo's arrest and af fliction were told by Justice Jonn3tone that Bung Loo having obtained posses sion of the check resolved the proceed ings into a civil action for debt. He was as legally innocent of a crime as he had been supposed to be guileless and incapable of committing one. THE PINE GIT i, A Delightful Climate for the Summer. Interesting Features of the City of Prescott. Many Solid Substantial Build ings Have Been Erected. Live and Enterprising Business Men Commissioner Jackson Is sues an immigration Pampnlet. Special Correspondence of The Republican. Pbescott, Aiiz., June 3 The cold wave of last week having blown over one can form a fair estimate of the climate of Prescott. Daring the day the weather is comfortably warm and at the same time delightfully cool. A mountain breeze which is said to be al moBt constant prevails.' At night it ia cool enough for a light coat, at least a visitor from the Salt River valley finds such comfortable. It is difficult to con ceive a more healthful summer locality for an invalid than among the pines which tower over and surround the city. An interesting feature of Prescott is the character of the saloons and gamb ling places. Prescott is a saloon towa and a whisky town. It is also a faro town and a crap town ; keno" and rou lette games being few and rarely pa tronized. In the better class of the saloons Chinese are not tolerated while the large crowds of impecunious and cut throat looking Mexicans which are usually found in all saloons of southern Arizona are lacking. In three or four places women sing, dance and play every quarter of an hour. Most of the resorts are crowded as are the sidewalks in front of the row. The gamblers, proprietors and bartenders are better dressed than those of Phoenix. This applies also to the business, and profee- sional man, probably because the clim ate demands less - neglige and dis habille. Prescott boasts of one impre tentious place, a mere ten foot wooden shack in the main street where no drink is sold at less than 25 cents prob ably the only place in where such prices prevail in all the country. It seems to have a large ard steady patronage. Tne sidewalks in Prtseott are all of planks with beautiful . large shiny headed nails sticking up a half inch or more, at freqaent intervals giving the pedestrian libera! opportunity of toe " 'stabbing and impatient utterance. The buildings are ninstly of frame with the court house, leading hotels and bosi- ness places of rough brick. There are some very handsome residences on the hill. In the construction of some of j the latest a species of red lime stone is being employed than which there surely nothing more beautiful and repn- tedly naught more durable in the whole i nation. Hon. John C. Hevndon says he did not testify before Judge Olive in the) Hughes matter. Ha met the judge at the hotel, was invited to his rooms, in- -dulgad in a little informal chat in the coarse of which he learned much mors than he could possibly have imparted oi the charges and investigation. There is a rumor here that Judge Herndon is a candidate for governor himself. A live merchant here is Harry Brie ley, the leading druggist. He is a liberal advertiser and says he i3 con fident that his business has been great ly benefited by his advertising even ia the small city of Prescott. prick Jackson, Yavapai county im migration commissioner, is about to issue a 10.000 edition of a write-up of the county's mines. The appropriatioa was recommended by Distiict Attorney R. E. Morrison and made by the board of supervisors a couple of months ago. Hon. A. J. D3ran left for Philadel phia to interest parties there in a group of four mines adjoining those of Hon. J. S. Jones at Chapparal. Mrs. Dr. Chandler is visiting friends here. Misa McMullin's recital comes off to morrow night. SUCCESSFUL TEACHERS. Result of the Late Quarterly Exa mination. The board of county school examia ers yesterday concluded the investiga tion of papers submitted by applicants at the quarterly examination which closed on Tuesday night. Out of the thirty original applicants, seventeen only passed, though the per cent of the successful is something greater than it has been at recent examinations. Cer tificates were issued to the following: First grade Carrie B. McCoy, Carria Potter, Ida Warren, C. O. Aiaderson, Lulu Anderson, M. A. Crouse, J. -W. Stewart, Geo. P. Dvkes, Rosa Proops, F. K. Hugunin, C. F. Wilcutt, Ciiff Hale. Second grade Kate Christy, EUa Franklin, Emma Graham, Bella Moore and Mrs. H. S. Stewart. As usual a majority of those who failed were wrecked by arithmetic Though the examination is not believed to have beentoo difficult it is thought that it was rather too comprehensive to be crowded into two days.
