ALMOST MURDER.
Mitchell Pettlt Shot By a Mexican
Named Joan Marcus.
Pasadena, May 3. —A peculiarly atro
cious shooting took place at Hall's
ranch, La Canada, a little before noon
today.
The victim was a 17-year-old boy
named Mitchell Pettit, who now lies at
the point of death with the contents of
both barrels of a shotgun in his head,
face and breast.
He was fired at, at a distance of not
more than 25 yards. The fellow who did
the shooting was a Mexican named Juan
Marcus, and from what can be learned
the attack was entirely without provo
cation.
It seems the man Marcus, in company
with • Canuck named Lorenzo Martinis,
had been drinking wine, and were down
in the vicinity of the winery, when
young Pettit came along on horseback
and addressed the men by name, when
the fellow Marcus drew up a shotgun
i which he carried, which belonged to Mr.
Hall, for whom he was working, and
fired both barrels pointblank at the boy,
who fell to the ground in a pool of blood.
The horse received a few stray shots,
but was not injured, and ran to the
ranch stables. A search was at once
instituted, and tbe iad was found where
he bad fallen.
The Mexicans in the meantime had
made off, but were shortly overhauled
and brought into La Canada, where they
were held until Officer Orr and Con
stable Swift of this city arrived, they
having been notified by telephone.
[Both the men were brought to Pasadena
[tbis afternoon, and a warrant sworn out
In Justice Lawrence's court, charging
them with assault to murder.
The fellow Marcus is a most brutal
looking man, being apparently more In
dian than Mexican. He carries a long
•knife scar on his right cheek,
the result of some former row.
There was no evidence to show that
Martinis was implicated any more than
an accomplice but it was thought best
to lodge a complaint against him. The
offioerjf ho weujt_up_ to rnakj) the arrest
ing and threats of lynching were freely
made.
Marshal Buchanan telephoned up this
afternoon and learned that young Pettit
was slightly improved and that the
doctors think he may pull through. He
was unconscious for some time but re
sided long enough to state that he was
riding along and only spoke to tbe men
when Marcus shot him. The hearing
has been set at 11 o'clock tomorrow
morning in Justice Lawrence's court,
meanwhile the men were remanded to
jail without bail.

SAN BERNARDINO.
A Tout Cue That Disturbs Sheep Men.
liueero Lived Twelve Hours.
San Bernardino, May 3.—The case of
Pedro Arantel, the French sheep herder
charged with violating the county ordi
nance which makes it unlawful to drive
sheep in droves of over 100 across bridges
and culverts on public highways, was up
before Justice Felter today, and the de
fendant was convicted and ordered to
pay a fine of t&0. When the charge was
made, several days ago, A. B. Paris, the
defendant's attorney, instituted habeas
corpus proceedings in the superior court,
on the grounds that tbe ordinance was
virtually prohibitory. The court could
not see it in that light, and upheld the
enactment. The defendant's attorney
gave notice of appeal when the case was
decided in the justice'seourt today. This
is a test case, and the sheep men are
bitterly opposing the new ordinance, and
say that it is a very unjust one, as it will
prove very disastrous to their interests.
They claim that sheep cannot be driven
in small bands.
LIVID TWELVE HOURS.
Jeaus Lncero, the Mexican "hot by
Vicente Gallardo yesterday morning in
Mill Greek canon, about 20 miles from
this oity, lived till 5 o'clock last evening.
He was taken to the connty hospital and
everything was done to relieve his suf
fering, to no avail, as he expired pain
lessly at the above time. The body was
removed to the morgue, where Drs.
Thompson and Huff held a post mortem
examination. They found that the ball
had penetrated the left breast about
two and one-half inohes to the right of
the left nipple and ranged downward,
striking the sixth rib, which caused it
to glance in the direction of the heart.
It tore a bole through this organ and cut
the Intestine in several places after going
through the left lobe of the liver and was
finally found in the rectum. The doc
tors gave their opinion that it was a re
markable case for a man to live 12 hours
with a bullet-hole through his heart,
from which the blood flowed with each
action of that organ. The inquest was
held at the morgue at Bp. m. Nothing
new was brought out in the examina
tion of several witnesses, all of whom
were Mexicans. They, with one excep
tion, refused to state whether they
knew anything about tbe killing or not.
They are very cloße-mouthed, and even
said they did not hear the four shots
fired, although they were sleeping with
in 20 or 30 feet of where the shooting
occurred. They told a different story
today from what they told several re
porters yesterday, and said they could
not speak English after convers
ing for an hour with several
newspapermen on the day the
affair occurred. The jury exam
amined the remains and returned a ver
dict in accordance with the facts gleaned
from the witnesses, that tbe deceased
came to his death by a gunshot wound
at the hands of Vicente Gallardo, on the
morning of May 2,1593. It was a singu
lar fact that none of the witnesses saw
anything of the man who did the shoot
ing after it occurred, but they thought
he went south toward Beaumont. Noth
ing has been heard from Deputy Bheriff
Rivera, who went in pursuit of the mur
derer. The sheriff is of the opinion that
he will be overtaken before many hours,
as his deputy was on his track soon after
tbe affair took place.

ELSINORE.
News Hatters from the take Bide
City.
Euikobb, May 2.—Weather still re
mains fair and the atmosphere for the
most part cold. Crops look fine never
better, but vegetables are slow in com
ing to market.
Business prospects were never better
and our citizens are quite well satisfied.
Quite a number of our Elsinore valley
people were making calculations for a
pleasant trip to Chicago, but when in
telligence was received that the round
trip ticket was fixed at $100, they looked
crest fallen,
Mr. E. Z. Bnndy one of our most re
liable citizens has secured a large hand
some hotel building and has removed it
to his bath house where invalids may
have most excellent hotel accommo
dations and baths under tbe same roof.
Possibly no one in our little city is bet
ter acquainted with the healing qualities
of oar hot springs, and tbe scores of in
valids who have been healed by these
baths, than Mr. Bundy. The elegant
airy rooms, the large comfortable dining
room of the hotel and the cleanliness of
the bath tubs ail speak a new era in the
history of Elsinore..
The Riverside election held at this
place today went off very quietly the
vote in favor of the new county standing
two to one.
Our citizens much pleased over the

"I had ringing aud roaring sounds in my
head, so that my hearing was-much Impair, d.
My eyes were weak and watery, and! could
scarcely see at times. My nose discharged
freely, great quantities of mucous dropping
Into my throat, making it sore snd causing me
to cough and spit incessaatly. Had sharp
pains through my chest sud back, my sleep
was very restless, was weaa and suffered very
much with cold hands and feet. .
11 had not been under Dr. De Monco and
associates' care but a short time until I began
to feel much improved, and now I feel better
than I have for years. I sleep well, cough aad
pains have all left me, and my hearing and
sight are wonderfully improved.
"I (Irmly believe that by continuing my
treatment for a short time I will he permanent
ly restored to health. And I can conicien
tiotislv recommend any who are afflicted to
place their caso under these specialists' treat
ment, where they will be honorably ana skill
