Most Shocking Tragedy in the
Twenty Centuries' History
of Catholic Church.
MURDER TAKES PLACE
IN A DENVER CHURCH
The Deed Is the Work of an An
archist From Patterson,
New Jersey.
(Dy Associated Press.)
DENVER, Fob. 21. In twenty
centuries of tho history of the Ro
man Catholic church tho members of
its priesthood in this city declare
that there is no record of a tragedy
parallel to that of tho killing of
Father Leo Helnrichs whilo adminis
tering the sacrament to Gulsoppo
Guarnacio at tho altar of St. Eliza
beth's church yesterday. Tho body
of tho murdered priest will bo sent
to Patterson, N. J., to be cared for
by tho Franciscan Brothers there.
Guarnacio is a natlvo of Sicily, aged
GC, and a shoemaker by trade. He
has been a socialist and anarchist for
twenty years. He has lived In Pat
terson, N. J., and In Wakefield,
Mass. Ho expresses no regret for
tho deed.
Is nu Anarchist.
(By Associated Press.)
DENVER, Feb. 24. From letters
found in his room tho police believe
tho slayer of Father Leo is Angelo
Gabriel, a Sicilian anarchist.
Namo Probably Assumed.
(By Associated Press.)
WAKEFIELD, Mass., Feb. 24.
Guarnacio, the namo given by the
man who shot Father Leo, of Den
ver, was probably assumed. Thero
Is no trace" of such a man here, al
though another man of tho same
namo lives here and holds an Im
portant position. Tho L. B. Evans
Shoo company's factory Is hero. The
management disclaims any knowl
edge of tho Denver anarchist, who
first gave tho name of Alio Gluseppi
and then changed It to Gluseppi Gu
arnacio. Glories in His Ghastly Work.
(By Associated Press.)
DENVER, Feb. 24. Through an
Interpreter tho murderer declared:
"I am glad I did it, because it is In
accordance with my principles. I am
an anarchist, a zealous one, and have
striven hard all of tho last fifteen
years of my life to carry out its pre
cepts. Only tho fact that I was ar
rested when I murdered tho priest
prevented tho murder of three more
of his class In Denver. I had never
seen Father Leo before. Ho looked
to me tho same as any other priest
whoso hypocritical influences take
bread out of tho mouths of tho poor
while they themselves live In luxury."
Tho murderer continued In a Hko
strain and gloried In his "fine job"
as a perfect shot, and said that his
room mate, Mike Brunetti, was inno
cent of any connection with tho af
fair and concluded: "What do I care
what happens? My work is finished.
Let tho law take Its course."

Coos Bay Sportsman Objects
' To Chasing Ducks With
Gasoline Launches.
Editor Times: Tho sportsmen of
this vicinity are neglecting a duty
they owe, not only to themselves, but
td tho whole state, In not making
some effort to stop the most unsports
manlike way of hunting ducks on
Coos Bay and its tributaries that is
followed so universally in this lo
callty, i. e., chasing with a gasoline
boat. Coos Bay is a natural haven
for ducks, and old settlers will tell
you that they have seen Its waters
literally covered with ducks of all
kinds. Can It bo truthfully said
that there aro not as many ducks
now in the country as tlien? In thi3
locality, no; in others, yes. It can
not be gainsaid but what civilization
deprives them of their feeding and
breeding grounds to a great extent,
but wo have yet with us birds enough
to give all true sportsmen an op
portunity to have lots of good whole
some sport and secure enough birds
to satisfy them. Wo had thousands
of ducks on the bay this fall, but no
sooner would they alight than from
ono to six gasoline boats would bo
after them, giving them no time to
rest or feed until they were forced to
seek another location to recuporato.
Thero is an organization formed n
Portland that Is aimed to regulate
our laws for the better protection of
all kinds of game, and Its Influence
will be great In tho next legislature
and Coos Bay should have a repre
sentative In that organization, and a
wholo lot of good could bo accom
plished. Their next regular meeting
Is In March. Coos Bay sportsmen
have plenty of time to call a meeting
and "select somo good man to present
the wants of tho lover of good clean
and sane laws, and to especially see
that hunting with a gasollno boat has
a stop put to It for all time.
