MURDERER
BESIEGED

Rancher Geo. W. Scho

HIS SLAYER ON GUARD
ALL NIGHT.
Firas Into the House at Dusk
and Then Awaits the Com

VICTIM AMBUSHED AFTER
HGUH3 CF TERROR.
Gees Forth In the Morning to Meet
His Unknown Foe and Is Shot
to Death.
SAN JOSE. Cai*, Aug. 7.— Murder was
done on the Llamas Creek, six niiies west
ot Madrone, at an early hour this morn
ing, the victim being George W. Schofield,
a rancher. The crime was cold-blooded
and premeditated, the assassin having
prowled ab.iiu the house all night waiting
an opportunity to shoot his man from am
bush. There was no motive but murder
in the act, for, having accomplished that,
the assassin mounted his horse and rode
away. Scnofield's wife witnessed the kill
in;?, and a good description of the man
lias been obtained. Sheriff Lyndon and
deputies at once left for Madrone, and are
now pursuing the assassin, with the prob
ability of effectinc a quick capture.
Last evening as Schofield, with his wife
and two little, children, was seated in the
dining-room, reading, a rifle ball was fired
into the rooru through ttn open window.
The huilet whistle i by his t c id and buried
itself in the wall. The lichis were at once
put oat, the doors and windows fastened,
and Scboneld ami his family nought places
.if safety. With au oath a voice was tieard
outside, saying :
'■Al rieht; if I don't get you to-night I
will in the morning."
All night long the assassin prowled
uround the hou-e. Occasionally he would
throw a rock against the building and
hurl imprecations at SchofielJ. The oc-
cupanta of the douse were terror-stricken
and in a state of siege, not knowing at
what minute the blood-crazed man might
lire the structure and shoot them as they
ran from it. Schotield peered out at in
tervals, and wanted to go out and inves
tigate, but his wife objected.
At daybreak the rancher could see no
one about the place, and, armed wi:h a
Fhotpun. he went out to look around. He
entered t lie b&rn, but found no one, and
on his way back to the houss looked into
,-hed.
As lie dirt so a shot was fired from
wii bin, and Schofield fell forward on his
'ace, dead. His wife, who was building a
lire, rushed to the window and looked out.
jaw a man with a brown beard run
from the shed and down the road to where
he had a roan horse hitched. He mounted
tti'- horse and rode away.
Mrs. .^chorield went to her husband's
side und then sont her 12-year-old boy to
Madrone to notify the autnorities. She
says she has no know. edge of who t .c
murderer is.
- tofieid was a native of Illinois and
aired 57 years. He was a hard man to eel
along with and had had a great deal of
trouble with his neighbors, and the mur
der is probably the nomination of one oi
thet-e rows. He had also had family
troubles as well as financial difficulties.
About a year airo his wife had him ar
rested on a cha>g? of battery, and later
she brouj.'h i iuii fur divorce on the crouud
of cruelly. They settled tneir troubles
before the case came to trial and began
living together again. A few months ago
he tiled a petition in insolvency and the
matter is now pending.
SchoneM had been married before and
had a number of grown children. By his
present wife he na<) two children.
The inquest held by the Coronor this
afternoon lasted several hour*, but the
verdict failei! to fix the crime on any one
in i articular.
Mrs. Bcboneld, Irving Mann, her son,
and Dmiei Dutcher, an employe, were the
oniy witnesses called. Their stories as to
the warning shot, the threat against
Schofieid and the flight of a man with a
brawn beard agreed almost to a dot.
The verdict was ihnt Schofieid was mur
dered by som« person unknown to the
Coroner's jury.
Sensational developments are promised.
Arrests of suspects will probably begin
to-morrow.
LFE AT CAMP SANTA MONICA.
Citizen Soldiers Who Disobeyed the
h eg ulations Spend a Night in
the Guardhouse.
LOS ANGELES, Cal., Au •. 7.— Pleasure
and hard work are being judiciously
mingled at Camp Santa Monica. Not
until last night was the pass requirement
enforced. A number of the citizen bol
dtera tarried too lone outside the iines,
not having been prepared with passes
to enable them to get by the pickets, they
wore placed un<ler arrest and passed the
night in the pUirdhouse. To-day the de
linquents were to police the canin, which,
it may be explained, means that they
were made lo clean the streets and per
form otlier menial tasks as punishment.
The camp routine, except for the inter
val allowed for pleasure, is strictly busi
ness. After breakfast and inspection of
c;>n>p ibe drill begins, and until dinner
time the boys are hard at it — first com
pany (trill ;md then a short rest; then
battalion drills; another short rest; then
regimental evolution 1 -.
It is humdrum and uneventful, but it is
soldierly and a mon excellent training
for the National Guard. The beventh Regi
ment band plays every day and nearly all
■ lay long, 'lhis is. a popular feature of
the camp, and is assisting in attracting
inaiiy visitors to the city of tents.
Btaootiug at target-ranges began to-day
and tome excellent scores were made. The
members of the Los Angeles com puny,
having had much practice, are expe-t rifle
men and thus far they have excelled in
the contest.
Practical joking is being perpetrated to
some extent in the camp, but General
Last frnwns down such lrivolity, and it
m»i<t he done ub ro«a if at all.
To-day Kusien Delaney ol the Santa
Ba: uara l<avai Reserves underwent an ex
aa: nation to qualify him for a commis
sion. A large -crowd this evening wit
nessed dress paraae and praised the ma
neuvers.

greatest paper cliase of the season for the
Ingieside cups offered by the Pacihc Coast
Jock y Club was held here to-day and two
Marin County Doys carried off the honor
for the gentlemen, arriving at the finish
after an exciting cnase in a cloud of dust.
Miss Alice Moffitt of Oakland captured
the cup offered for the successful lady and
Miss Janet Bruce took second honors.
The lirst gentleman's piize was won by
Fred W. Sweetzer oi Novato and ihe sec
ond by J. J. Murray of San Rafael.

roaus leading to Hotel Rafael were being
biocKed by vehicles. Ward McAllistei,
upon a prancing horse, acte.i as wnipper
ln, and J. J. Cooks, secretary of the San
Rafael Hunt Club, directed the sport.
Lewis Hughes was the only hare, and he
left the hotel with a lot oi van-colored
paper to distribute over the rouie already
decided, upon. Mr. Hughes has partici
pated in many chases of a similar ch;irac
ler, and lor this reason was selected as tne
bare in the important chase for the tro
phies offered by the Pacific Coast Jockey
Ciub and the San Raiael Hunt Cub.
Xne iiouuds were all exueilcnt'y mount
ed and fleet horses were ridden by good
riders. The hounds were: Herbert Wal

The course was twelve mile 3in length
and excellently chosen. Alter leaving
the Hotel RataeJ the hounds struck out
for the nortnwest, passing the Catholic
Convent, through the Coleman triict and
ui>Gmn Tree avenue, then to San Kaiaei
H,li to the north of Alarm's county seat.
Tiie course then led into Vrang Guich ana
along the ridge in full sight oi the ipecta
<,ors, who f. lloweii in oa: riuges and turn
outs oi every desciiption, to Porierswa!
iow ranch, where the hounds got into dif
liiu.iy. For ten minuies the riders
searched for the bits ol colored paper that
gave them their clue to the course pursued
by.tbehare. Finally the trail was again
caught and thu hounds tooK the ridge in
back of the town again. Then through a
gate and onto the Lucas ranch the horses
wen i at break neck speed on to the finish.
The houiius urnveu at 4:55 and the
linisii was one of liie best yet witnessed.
A cloud of dust, which increased as the
riders drew near, was seen, and then
amidst a clatt. r of hoofs the horses
plunged over the line. F. W. Sweetzer
was first, J. J. Murray secunu and Ed
Herzug tnird.
The ladies did not arrive until ;-ome
time later— about twenty minutes — when

VAIN QUEST OF
BURIED BULLION
Treasure-Seekers Hunt
for a Bandit Cache
at Phoenix.
Impetus Given to Their Zeal
by the Finding of an Old
Revolver.
Stolen Bar of Gold Which Scores of
Men Have Sought Without
Success.
PHOENIX, Ariz , Aug. 7.— Harry Brown
found an old revolver buried under a
bush in trie nort eastern part of the city
yesterday, and to-day there are a lot of
about - town prospectors working with
picks and shovels in the vicinity, hoping
to find half of a bar of gold mat was
originally worth $32,000. AH of whicii re
calls to the old-timers one of the earliest
and most sensational of Phoenix's trag
edies.
In June, 1876 the stage-coach was held
upon the Black Canyon road, jist beyond
a point known as Arastra hill, by five
masked men. One passenger was killed,
ana the treasure captured consisted of a
tiar of ROld bullion, a bie slack of new
$ 100 greenbacks and the personal property
of the passengers. The robbers cam? di
rectly to Phoenix, where they divided
their spoil auU separated, each going to a
different part of thp Territory.
A year later began the story of and the
search for the famous Phoenix buried
treasure. At iifterent times scores of p r
sous have come io this City with what
they considered the correct "lip" on its
exact location. How, why, and where it
cime to be buiied was first told by a
couple of the robbers themselves, after
they hßd been mortally wounded, one by
a conipadre at Santa Maria, and the other
by a peace officer in Pi ccnix. The latter
told the best story. He said the green
backs and half of the barot bullion were
buried. The greenbacks were so rare in
this part of the country at that time that
their posession would have been suspi
cious. For the same reason the peculiar
pistoi taken from the murdered passenger,
which bore the words "Blood for blood"
engraved on the handle, was also buried.
It was this pistol that was found } ester
day by Harry Brown. The bar of bullion
was cut in half with an ax. Why half
was buried has never been explained, but
everybody knows that it was. The other
half oi the bar was afterward recovered
by the authorities at Los Angeles and
upon weight it was iound to be so evenly
divided that the difference in the two
pieces was less than $75.
Before the dying robber could definitely
locate the place where the treasure waa
buried biood from his wound surged to
his throat and he died with the rest of his
secret still undiv&lged. Nevertheless, a
good deal of searching wa-> done upon the
strength of his confession, but nothing
was found.
T ree years later a priest arrived in
Phoenix from Maglalena, Sonora. He,
too, came to searcb for the robber's treas
ure. Its locality had been divulged to
him by a man who died of a wound re
ceived in the fiesta at Magda.ena. Al
-I'ioueh the description given to the, padre
was quite d finite all the important land
marks bad been changed by the approach
of civilization. Even tne location of the
bank of a ditch that was named as a start
ing point had been changed and men who
ought to have been familiar with its
former location could remember it only in
a general way.
The padre prosecuted bis search for
some time, but he found nothing for his
pains and went away the poorer for his
searching. Scarcely a year has passed
since then that some one has not appeared
in thiscty who believed himself possessed
of the proper directions.
Ihe dying robLer who made the first
confession said the greenbacks and half
bar 01 bullion were buried in an iron cof
fee-pot. S'.ores of treasure-hunters have
spent weeics and months in secretly prob
ing the suspected spot with long steel bars.
It hasoiten been thought tbat the treasure
had been found, but each time the rumor
proved to be untrue. Now there is more
Jiirging and searching and probing, and a
score or more ot men are hoping to s'rike
their pick or their probe into that iron
ceffee-pot.

SOLOMONVILLE, Ariz , Aug. 7.—Cow
boy Frank EUwood came into camp at

and a quarrel ensued, the end of which
was that Jardy shot and killed the cow
boy as the latter was riding out of town.
There ib a dispute as to whether Jardy
tired in self-defense or not. The Coro

poisoning. Both men were employed at

over a woman. O'Brien came to Prescott
