Former Internal Revenue Collector
Diea Near Mexico.
San Francisco, April . Robert Bar
nett formerly a leading democrat of
this state, was shot and Instantly killed
at the Taraca mine, in Mexico, of which
he was superintendent yesterday aft
ernoon by one of the laborers in bis
employ. The report of the tragedy
came to this city in a dispatch to
Hugh Relchenbach, president of the
Taraca Gold Mining Company, from
W. J. Hood, agent of the company in
Mexico. Teh message was brief and
only conveyed the Information that
Barnett had been' shot and killed at
the mine by one of the native laborers.
The Taraca mine Is situated 12 miles
west of Torres, a station on the Sonora
branch of the Southern Pacific railway
In Mexico. Relchenbach immediately
wired for full particulars of the crime
and F. X Collier, formerly superin
tendent of Captain Delemar'a Golden
Gate property at Mercury, Utah, left
for the scene last night to take charge
of the property.
From those acquainted with condi
tions at the mine it is believed the
crime occurred as the result of Bar
net t's dlscoverey of the theft of ore by
one of the Mexican laborers. Consid
erable difficulty has been encountered
In that regard since the company has
been shipping to the Selby smelter at
Vallejo, and Barnett was watching for
the thieves.
Barnett had been at the Tarawa mine
a mtie over a year m superintendent
Up to the time he left for Mexico he
resided in this city. Mrs. Barnett
joined her husband a short time ago
and was either at the mine or Torres
at the time of the murder.
Deceased was 55 years of age and
was born of Scotch parents in Louis
iana, With his parents he removed to
this state 53 years ago and settled
In Colusa county in 1851. He was a
man of sterling character and enjoyed
the absolute confidence of all that
knew him.
He was one of the old line demo
crats and a leader In the party. He
served as treasurer of Colusa county
for several years, succeeding himself
four times. In 1884 he was elected to
the legislature from that county, but
resigned to accept the presidential ap
pointment as internal revenue colector
for the Fourth internal revenue dis
trict, comprising Northern California
and Nevada. Four years later be ac
cepted a position as chief clerk of the
United States mint In this city under
Superintendent John Daggett of Sis

BOY ASPHYXIATED.
Mediation Suggested.
NVw York, April' 4. A telegram
irnm the Berlin corespondent of the
Solr forwarded by the Times corres
pondent at Brus3els revives the report
prevalent sometime since to the effect
that King Edward had taken the pre.
limlnary steps to ascertain if Russia
were disposed to accept an offer of
mediation. The emperor, it is alleged,
replied that such an order on the part
of the king of England certainly would
be accepted. The ' clow march of
events In the far east Is attributed by
optimists to the fact that negotiations
have begun.
Eczema, scald head, hives, itchiness

Son of Prominent Merchant Killed
By Gas.
Los Angeles, April 8. Arthur F.
Bowles, aged It years, son of F. C.
Bowles, a well-known merchant of Los
Angeles, was asphyxiated this fore
noon at his home in West Twenty
eighth street while trying to use aa
instantaneous gas heater In a bath
room.
The boy entered the room, turned
up the gas and began undressing. Be
fore he had removed all his clothing;
he was overcome by the fumes and
fell to the floor unconscious. An hour
later his father became alarmed at
his long absence and forced an en
trance to the room. The young man
was found unconscious and died,
despite a doctor's efforts.
- The cause of the escaping gas waa
the absence of a vent from the heat
er, no pipe having been run out of the
room and this permitted the fumes
from the gas to fill the room the same
as if It had been turned directly from
the pipes into the room. On previ
ous occasions three other members of
the family were overcome by the
fumes, but they were discovered In.
time to save their Uvea The coroner
will institute an investigation.
