Meets Death at the Hands of Train Robbers in Colorado Early on Sunday Morning. A feeling of intense sorrow was cast upon the community on Monday, when it became generally known that Wm. J. Fay, Esq., of this city, had been assassinated at the hands of train robbers in Colorado. Telegrams which arrived on Sunday at noon brought the first announcement of his untimely end, and plunged the members of his family and the few personal friends who were apprised of the deplorable affair, into profound grief at their irreparable loss. The family was plunged into deepest sorrow for the death of their father; the friends of the deceased heard with feelings of a personal and irreparable loss the news of his untimely and deplorable death. The first telegrams were meagre, and brought only the intelligence that Mr. Fay had been in a hold-up on the Kansas-Pacific railroad, at a small town called Hugo, some 90 miles east of Denver; that he had been killed, and that his body had been brought back to Denver. The telegrams came from Wm. Toovey, at whose residence Mr. and Mrs. Fay had been stopping during their visit in Denver. The assassination occurred about 1 o'clock on Sunday morning. The train on which the hold-up occurred had left Denver only an hour or two before. Mr. Fay had hidden his wife good-bye a moment before the departure of the train. She contemplated returning to California on Monday. Mr. Fay was on his way to St. Louis to attend to business matters, and had in view a trip to New York to attend a national meeting of hydraulic make a move, but hand out your valuables,' and looking up saw a revolver not six inches from my face. I affected not to hear, conjuring up a way of secreting the money I had. 'Hand out, quick!' came the second command, and then my wife reached under my pillow, grasped her purse and extended it to the man behind the gun. He dropped the purse into a pocket and then passed on to the next berth. A few minutes later I heard a shot, several angry exclamations, and then for a minute or so quiet reigned. The shot announced the death of William J. Fay. His darling had cost him his life. When the men ordered him to throw up his hands he showed sight. He opened his valise and secured a revolver, but before he could raise it the taller of the two bandits fired a shot from his revolver. It killed Fay, and in the excitement caused by the tragedy the men rushed from the car and jumped from the train. Later the passengers figured up their losses and the total in money did not amount to $20." Mr. Buck got a good look at the men. He continued: "One was over 6 feet tall and the other was about 5 feet 6 inches in height. Both wore masks and acted like old hands at the business. The taller man had a mackintosh when I first saw him, but he left it behind when he jumped from the train. A luncheon was found wrapped in its folds." Ida B. Martin, a music teacher, and Cora B. Kelcey, a stenographer, both of Kansas City, also had an exciting experience. They occupied a lower berth and were awakened by the noisy entrance of the bandits. The porter had been reduced to a state of subjection by having a revolver placed to his head and while one robber guarded him, the other made the rounds of the berths. Said Miss Kelcey: "The curtains were swept aside, a revolver poked into my face and a command: 'Give me your money,' was made. 'Have no money.' I replied. HOT BOXES AND SLOW TIMES How a Party of Travelers Aboard Owner Clegg's Train Became Warm Under the Collar. "Talk about the Southern Pacific said a traveler aboard last Thursday's north-bound train from Diego, which was an hour and a late. "This road is rotten in comparison to it." He was a little round-eyed with a Chinese sombrero on his head. He was accompanied by a man with a black mustache and straw who said he had just come up from Mexico, and who acquiesced in opinion of the relative merits of two companies. Another little man with a squeezy voice, who struck the little fat with the Chinese hat for a piece of food to settle his supper with, was of same opinion. A fat little drummer for a Los Angeles candy house got up from his seat the smoker, and walked forward toward the peanut butcher, who had just come into the front door of the car. In hands the butcher had a miscellaneous collection of tools which had been in jacking-up the rear left wheel of baggage car. The fat little drummer purchased a cigar, after the butcher had wiped his begrimed hands on newspaper. Then the fat little drummer walked back to his seat, lit a poor cigar, and agreed that the S.Fe equipment was rotten. All this time the train stood on main line at the Orange depot, more less. But for the jarring of the car the jacking-up process on the bag car ahead, all hands might have joyed an afternoon nap. The evening south-bound accommodation trains passed by. Then who...

Thus, not more than two hours after leaving his wife, he met a foul death at the hands of assassins. Upon receipt of the news Charley Fay, son of deceased, set about to depart immediately for Denver. A later telegram counselled him not to come as Mrs. Fay would return with the body here for burial. From the Associated Press dispatches of Monday we take the following particulars of this most unfortunate event: KANSAS CITY, August 5—A Journal special from Salina, Kansas, says: The Union Pacific castbound passenger train No. 4, which left Denver last night, was held up by two men several miles west of Hugo, Colo., 90 miles this side of Denver. The passengers in the Pullman sleepers were robbed of their money and valuables. W. J. Fay, a resident of California, who had been visiting Denver and was on his way to St. Louis, refused to surrender his valuables and fired a shot at one of the robbers, but missed him. Thereupon the robbers returned the fire, one shot entering Fay's mouth and coming out of the back of his head, killing him almost instantly. The robbers stopped the train, jumped off and escaped. The robbers climbed upon one of the sleepers near Limon, and after the train had started the men made a noise at the door. The conductor, thinking they were tramps, opened the door to put them off. The robbers, who were masked, pointed a pistol at his head and ordered him to lead the way through the coaches. All of the passengers were asleep, and the conductor was ordered to wake them one at a time. The frightened passengers were told to keep quiet, or they would be killed, and at the same time were told to hand over their money and valuables. The robbers obtained about $100 in cash and a number of gold watches and other pieces of jewelry. The robbery took place a few minutes before I o'clock this morning. The body of Fay was taken off the train at Hugo and shipped to Denver. He was 68 years of age and a prominent Odd Fellow of California. The conductor, who was compelled to hold a bag while the robbers relieved the passengers, lost his watch, and asked that it be returned to him in order that he might run the train on time. The robbers gave it back. After ransacking the two coaches, the men ordered the conductor to pull the bell cord, but the train was going so rapidly that the robbers were taken to Hugo before it slowed up enough to that his body had been brought back to Denver.

At little drummer for a Los Angeles house got up from his seat in booth, and walked forward toward snack butcher, who had just come the front door of the car. In his hand the butcher had a miscellaneous collection of tools which had been used making-up the rear left wheel of the large car. The fat little drummer issued a cigar, after the butcher wiped his begrimed hands on a paper. Then the fat little drum-walked back to his seat, lit a very cigar, and agreed that the Santa equipment was rotten. This time the train stood on the line at the Orange depot, motionless. But for the jarring of the cars by backing-up process on the baggage ahead, all hands might have an afternoon nap. The evening south-bound accommodation trains passed by. Then when the Humboldt are the banner counties in point of gain, each going over the $1,000,000 mark. Los Angeles shows a gain of $2,122,000 over a valuation of $95,962,000 last year, Alameda shows a gain of $1,837,000 over $84,463,000 last year, Sacramento an increase of $1,-236,000 over $31,657,000 last year and Humboldt has added $1,041,000 to last year's valuation of $15,803,000. Kern county, where there have been big oil finds, shows an increase of $521,000 over $12,775,000 and Ventura county has an increase of $500,000 over $7,000.-000. Orange county shows a gain of $320,000 over $10,000,000. San Francisco shows an increase of only $28,360 over her valuation a year ago of $405,111,615, but last year the San Francisco rolls included some $23,-000,000 in bonds which have been declared by the courts non-assessable, so that kind of valuation is not included in this year's figure. Yet the valuation of San Francisco is equal this year to that of last, so, fairly, it may be said that San Francisco has increased her valuation $23,000,000 in the year, while that amount should very properly be added to the total increase of the valuation of the State, making the net gain of the State in wealth fully $40,000,000 in the year. Senatorial Convention. A. G. Kendall of San Bernardino, chairman of the Senatorial district committee for the Thirty-ninth Senatorial district, is preparing a new call for the district convention, and has decided to call it for Saturday, August 25, to be held in San Bernardino. This will be four days after the San Bernardino county convention.

The Government Had Too Many Ropes Around a Fellow's Neck as it Was. "No sir! None of your free delivery business for me; not on your life. I know all about it, and I'll have none of it. The government has too many ropes around our necks as it is. What we need is to get this administration out of power, you bet, and an administration for the people in its place. None of your mail delivery for me, no sirree!" The speaker was a man claiming to be an American farmer, living in the remotest recesses of the swamps toward Garden Grove. The canvasser tried to argue with him, and show him of what great benefit free delivery would be to him. People in the cities he said to him tenderly, had had their mail delivered to them free for generations. In the cities there was a large proportion of non-taxpayers who have their mail brought to them several times a day. When these people change their residence the government undertakes to find their new address, and is put to no little trouble and expense to locate them. Millions of these people have their mail delivered to them free. The country people, on the other hand, had never enjoyed these privileges. A large proportion of them are taxpayers. They help support the government, but the government has done nothing for them in the way of delivering their mails. The government brings their mail to the nearest postoffice—two, three, four or five miles away—and the country man must go for his mail, or have it returned to its sender. The city chap has his mail handed to him on a silver tray. The government provides clipped messenger, and men Senatorial Convention. A. G.

This will be four days after the San Bernardino county convention. The Senatorial convention had been called for Santa Cruz for August 28, the same time and place as the State convention, but upon consultation with the committeemen in Riverside and Orange counties, it was determined to issue the call, and hold the convention within the district in place of taking it to Santa Cruz, and making it an adjunct to the State convention. Northcross Body Found. A letter received from the Philippines brings the news of the discovery of the body of W. P. Northeross, who will be remembered, was reported missing after a fight with the Tagals some weeks ago. Northerross was in the Fortieth regiment. His body was found where he fell, upon the field of battle. He was some 60 years of age, and had difficulty in entering the service. He went north with the Seventh regiment at the outbreak of the Spanish war. At the Presidio he was upon the point of being sent home, but his excellent physical condition alone saved him. On the return of the regiment he offered his services to the volunteer regiment forming in this county, but was not accepted. He went to Tennessee, enlisted in a regiment of volunteers in that State, and went to the front. News of the fight in which his regiment was engaged came some weeks ago. Northcross was reported among the missing. Now news arrives that the body has been found and interred. Northcross lived at Orange, and was a man of character and ability. He attended all the Democratic county conventions, and was frequently the most conspicuous figure therein. He was an orator of ability, and in debate held his own against any man in the county. He became infatuated with the idea of enlisting for the Spanish war, and though beyond the limitation of years, succeeded in getting upon the firing line, and fell at last with his face to the foe. His many friends in Orange county will drop a silent tear for the sturdy old patriot. His death will be regretted. Recently his family left for their former home in Tennessee. Smeltzer's Loss. D. E. Smeltzer suffered the loss one day last week of his large barn by fire at Smeltzer station in the Peatlands. The fire was first discovered at 4:30 a.m. It had acquired considerable headway and in spite of the attempts to stop it, the entire barn was burned. There was stored in the barn 150 tons of barley hay besides many of the farm implements. By quick work the horses were saved, but all the hay and implements were destroyed. Two Italians who had been working for Smeltzer were seen running from the fire when it was first discovered and suspicion fell on them.

County Assessors' returns have been received by the State Board of Equalization from all but four counties in the state, and granting to these counties an increased valuation proportionate to that in the rest of the State, the valuation of California this year is $1,132,-1,762, exclusive of the valuation of railroad property in the State, which was last year $46,394,275. This is an increase of $16,833,332, exclusive of railroads, over the valuation given a year ago. It can be stated as a certainty that California will show $17,000,000 increase for the year, and possibly more. The counties which have not reported the Butte, Shasta, Stanislaus and Trinity, and their aggregate valuation last year was $31,187,014, or practically one-fifth-sixth of the wealth of the State. This year, of the fifty-four counties which have reported, only ten of them will to show an increase over the auditor's figures of a year ago. The counties are Amador, El Dorado, Mariposa, Modoc, Placer, Plumas, San Bernardo, Santa Cruz, Tuolumne and Yolo. Santa Cruz and Yolo show the smallest decrease, $10,000 each, the former in a total of $10,000,000, and the latter in a total of $15,000,000. The greatest falling off is in Tuolumne county, which shows a decrease of $465,000 from a total of $5,612,000 a year ago. Mariosa shows a falling off of $310,000 from 2,353,000 a year ago, and Amador a falling off of $220,000 from a total of 4,601,000 last year. In the ten counties the aggregate falling off is $1,419,-801 from a total valuation last year of 666,500,000.

Smeltzer surveyed the less one day last week of his large barn by fire at Smeltzer station in the Peatlands. The fire was first discovered at 4:30 a.m. It had acquired considerable headway and in spite of the attempts to stop it, the entire barn was burned. There was stored in the barn 150 tons of barley hay besides many of the farm implements. By quick work the horses were saved, but all the hay and implements were destroyed. Two Italians who had been working for Smeltzer were seen running from the fire when it was first discovered and suspicion fell on them. Smeltzer covered them with a shotgun and brought them to a standstill. Sheriff Lacy was sent for and Dominico Laurito and Nie Banabanto were taken into custody and conveyed to Santa Ana. They protested their innocence. Smeltzer believes the Italians burned the barn in order to get revenge because they had been discharged some days before. They were remanded to jail in default of $2000 bail on a felony charge. Boiler Accident. Ed Rogers and Mont Jackson, young men of Santa Ana, were seriously hurt by an accident to a threshing boiler on the Swartz ranch, near El Toro, some days ago. Rogers was in charge of the boiler and Jackson was working nearby. Without warning both ends of the boiler blew out with terrific force. Rogers was hurled quite a distance by the power of the escaping steam and was badly scalded. He was taken home and for some days was considered to be in quite a serious condition. One side of his head, his legs and nearly all the body, except the chest, were scalded. Jackson was unconscious for some time after the accident. Both men are improving.
