MEXICAN LODGED

ALGOMA SLAYER
Bunkie Of Slain Man Too
Drunk To Recall What
Occurred; Twenty Shots
Fired; Alien Won't Talk
Luz Laucedo, about 40 years
of age, a Mexican, was lodged
in the county jail by Sheriff
Burt Hawkins last night, as
suspected murderer of Valen
tino Navarro, a countryman,
who was mortally wounded in
a knife fight at Algoma early
yesterday morning.
Laucedo, unable to express
himself well in English, insist
ed as best he could, that he
was innocent of any crime, uJ
declared that, drunk Monday
night, he could recall but little .
of what had happened. Sher
iff Hawkins based his action
in arresting Laucedo on infor
mation that the two laborers
had left their common bunk
house together Monday even
ing, ana r.aa arunK irom.a
common bottle. It was his
opinion that Navarro's wounds
were suffered in a drunken
brawl, which - subsequently
took place.
Although. Navarro's - death
was caused from tuts 'by a
knife, several shots, perhaps
20, were fired in Algoma about
3 o'clock the time when , the
fight is believed to have taken
place. No one was hit by a
bullet. The identity of the
persons engaged in the gun
play is not known to officials.
Laucedo and Nevarro both woro
employed as section bands by tho
Southern Pacific company in its
camp just a short distance from the
mill of the Algoma Lumber corny
pany. Navarro, . it was saia ibbi

His black mustache parted above
tobacco-stained teeth, bis dark eyes
flashing. Laucedo shook bis . head
violently when officers intimated
that he was guilty of the crime.
Talking through an interpreter a
part of the time, and occasionally
attempting to explain for himself,
he was an animated figure as he en
deavored to make it cloar that a
mistake had been made. . .
I was drunk I know nothing ot
it," Is what tho accused man con
tinued to say In Spanish.
An Interesting sidelight on the
csso of the fatal stabbing waa fur
nished by David R. Vandonberg, for
mer Klamath deputy district attor
ney, who is familiar with ma repu
tation ot tho dead man. Nevarro,
he said last night, was takon Into
custody Juno 25. following a kntfe
fight, and subsequently admitted his
guilt in tho district attorney's office.
Vandcnberg said Nevarro swore ven
goanco on the group of Moxicans
with whom ho had been fighting.
Laucedo was not one ot them. Later
thoso men informed Vandenberg
they feared Navarro, and declared
that ho was a dangorous man.
