Young Widow is Murdered
By Mining Engineer Who
Claims Self-Defense
Quarrel Over Money is
Probably The Cause.
LOS A NOBLES, Oil., Feb. 29. A
quarrel over financial mat tors is ac
cepted by the police as the most likely
origin of the murder committed early
this morning, when Mrs. Charlotte L.
Moyos, a young widow, was shot dead
io ber apartments by V. P. McComns,
a mining engineer. McComns states
that the woman attempted to throw
a cupful of Sulphuric acid in his face
and that he shot in self defense. He
exhibits acid burns on his face, but
the police believe that McComas ap
plied the acid himself.
Detectives searched the elaborately
furnished apartments of Mrs. Noyes
and discovered a sheet of paper pre
sumed to contain an account of the op
orations of MeOomas and Mrs. Noyes
at the race track. It showed heavy
winnings up to two weeks ago, but total
losses all seemingly during - the past
few days amounted to between $3000
and $."000.
AMUSEMENTS.
Faita the Great and Company at the
Medford Opera House
For three nights, commencing Thurs
day, March 5. The press aro loud in
their praise of the Fails all over this
coast. Jit the science of suggestion,
commonly called hypnotism, Professor
Fait is certainly second to nono, as he
not only thoroughly demonstrates, but
explains his work, so that all can un
derstand the fundamental principles up
on which this science is based.
There will also be somo of the most
wonderful tests in physical manifesta
tions in psychic phenomena and clair
vayanee. in this you can ask under
senl what you wish to know and re
ceive your answer. " Kesto Capio. '
the greatest of modern minifies, will
be given on thr- opening night. The
Fnits have with them one of Kdisnu's
largest and grandest moving picture
machines and a fine collection of mov
ing pictures, illustrated songs and views
of the Pacific, coast, all taken by Pro
feasor Faits, and will be thoroughly
explained while given. On their open
ing night they will give the most com
plete display of the destruction of the
city of San Francisco by earthquake
and fire. These pictures are not of
the ruins nfter the fire, but of scenes
of the shock and fire. Two and one
half hours of the most b teresting pro
gram with entire change each night.

The Nashville Students.
The Nashville Students appear at the
opera bouse tonight. They have re
ceived splendid press notices every
where, of which the following from the
Dead wood, S. D., Pioneer Times is n
fair sample:
"The Nashville Students are no lag
gards. Those who remained away from
the Dead wood theater last night, under
tho impression that the Nashville Stu
dents might prove of the less caliber
of the joyless Happy Hooligans, missed
a treat. For light musical entertain
ment, with just the right sort of fun
nnd dancing, the colored aggregation
in the best that has been seen here.
Throughout the evening the small cast
of eight gave entire satisfaction, keep
ing the lnrge audience in an upmar of
applause nnd appreciation over their
work. They can each nnd every one
sing and dance ami act, and the pro
gram was carefully culled of anything
that might prove objectionable or bor
dering on the vulgar. It was a clean
and finished entertainment. V. A. Ttruee
nnd Miss L. Bruce as singers, together
with the Mitchells nnd Miss Henderson,
were thoroughly enjoyed. Johnny Ed
wards is a rtatling good eccentric danc
er and corned inn, and George Houtte
made the boards jump with his shifty,
new steps. The olio is much above the
average and contrary to most perform
nnces of this kind, the audience is bet
ter pleased as it progresses. Mr. full i
gan should be justly proud of his com
pfinw, nnd it is safe to say that the
purees in towns they visit should be
flattered for their appearance."
Ed Lister, the clever landlord of the
Hotel Josephine at Grants Pass, was
among the many in Medford during
the week.
