t'lilled I 'reus I.Miu-d Wlre.l
Oakland, Cnl., Aug. I. Manuel
Garcia, 37 yonra of ago, a rancher
living In Cuntorvllle, was brutally
murdered two or three days ago on
his ranch by an unknown fiend
whose object wub evidently robbery.
Tho body of tho murdered man
was found today by Antone Duntnu
nlH, a nolghbor, wno reported tho af
fair to tho nuthorlticri. Deputy Cor
oner J. C. Itelmors, ,wlth other offi
cers, hurried to tho scene of tho
tragedy and mado an investigation.
Tho result ot tliolr Investigation Is
told by Rolmcra as follews:
"Dontnunlfl Is a noar neighbor of
Garcia, lie Is familiar with Garclnls
movemontH. Iientuunls tells mo that
Garcia was In the habit of visiting-
his ranch every day to caro for tho
stock on tho place. For two or thrco
days Iientuunls missed Gnrcla, and
astho stock was wandering on the
road and uncured for about tho ranch
" d to make an investigation.
"Ho found the ranch house wldo
open with no trace of recent tenants.
Continuing his search ho oponcd a
door loading to a small basement un
der the house and wns horrlflod to
discover the body of Garcia lying on
the ground.
"The body was torn open by a bul
let from a -H -calibre rifle, which
smashed through Garcla's breast, and
tKo head was cut open and crushed
blows from an nxe.
"It Is surmised that tho murderer
failed to kill his man with tho rlflo
and rosortod to tho axo to finish IiIh
flondlsh work.
"When the officers arrived a moro
thorough boh roll whh mado and It
was discovered tnat Garcia had been
killed In the corral and his body was
thou drugged to tho house and hidden
In tho collar. In tho corral wo found
the bloody axe and large splotche
of blood. Traces of blood were
found leading from tho corral to tho
house.
"The murderor evidently entered
Garcla's bouse, took Gureln'H rifle,
which was standing ngulnst tho wall,
went to the corral and shot his vic
tim. He then picked up the axo and
flnlahod his work. Then ho drag'
ged the body two hundred ynrds to
tho house, plucod tho rifle back In
tho poultlon he foutid.lt and disap
peared. Tho rifle was found to have
one empty shell In It and tho barred
was dirty, showing rucont use.
"It was a generally known fact
that Garcia was In the habit of car
rying considerable money on his per
son and It Is thought that tho mur
derer's motive was robbery. Whether
or not ho reaped any flnnnolal re
ward for his crime Is not known."
Qarcla's body has been removed
to the morguo, whore an Inquest will
be held. Dr. Abbott, coroner ot
Contra Costa county. Is conducting
an Investigation, aided by Sheriff
Uarnet and his deputies.

thereof, lnm bocomo national nnd in
volved also tho threadbare theory

Mrs. Toting, who Is a slight, durlc

She Is a firm adocnto of Industrial

"I thoroughly bollovo lu thoau
branches of Industrial education lu

tho Ideas of uniting art and Industry.
I have no doubt but that most wo

out If a woman fools that alio has
tho power and can bo useful In a
business career lot hor follow it by
all moans. The schools need moro
social life and this I shall endeavor
to create."
Mrs. touug remarks that she will
strive to abolish fratornttlos and so
crot HoclotloH In tho sahools, but that
she will nlso endeavor to substitute
a system that shall ancourngo social
activities. Henry C. Garueau, presi

think a woman Is phydoally capable
ot coping with tno dutloa. and such
an appointmont Is plain tom-foolory.
Tho only, oxoiiso is that It happened
in Chicago, where thoy art always
doing something wild and woolly."
