COUNTY NOTES FULLERTON Two men, Sotero Miranda and Manuel Olivas, were shot to death during a Mexican row in the sandwash at the southeastern city limits on Wednesday night about midnight. City Marshal Ruddock and Deputy Alex Henderson went to the scene after the affray, and at 6 o'clock on Thursday morning returned here with three men, who, with one or two others, it is believed did the shooting. Two other parties who were probably in the mixup were arrested the same morning at 9 o'clock. The shooting took place at a Mexican cabin, and all the men were drunk. The man and wife who occupied the little camp-home were in bed in a drunken stupor when the murders occurred. Frank Silvas, Chavis, Martinez, Madriel and Sotero are believed to have been present or to have taken part in the shooting. Silvas says he had been drinking and does not remember whether or not he was connected with the murders. His pistol was empty when taken from him, and another pistol was also found empty when the men were arrested. The men did not make any attempt to escape, as they were taken by surprise by the officers. The prisoners say they do not remember what started the trouble. One man was shot in the back, and crawled 100 yards to his little shack before he died. He made no was empty when taken from him, and another pistol was also found empty when the men were arrested. The men did not make any attempt to escape, as they were taken by surprise by the officers. The prisoners say they do not remember what started the trouble. One man was shot in the back, and crawled 100 yards to his little shack before he died. He made no statement. The other man was shot in the head and right side, and died instantly. One of the murdered men leaves a wife and six children. The mother of one of the dead men came from Los Angeles on learning of her son's death. The inquest was held at Fullerton by Coroner Smith, the jurors' verdict being that "the men met death by gun shots fired by parties unknown." The officers believe they have a very strong case against the men now in jail. ORANGE With a margin of $364.70 the Orange postoffice rode into the second class at the end of the fiscal year, March 31, having gained $916 over the receipts of the preceding year. The advance brings the office under the civil service regulations and provides clerk hire which before came out of the postmaster's allowance. The receipts for the fiscal year, April 1, 1908, to April 1, 1909, amounted to $8364.70. As the second class limit is $8000, the mark was made with lots to spare. The receipts from April 1, 1907, to April 1, 1908, were $7448.68. The office becomes second class July 1st. At the present rate of increase it will not be long before Orange will become a carrier office. Before this can be done it is necessary for the office to do $10,000 worth of business which at the present rate of increase should take about two years. On reaching that volume, free city delivery will be inaugurated.

A box containing $3000 worth of oil paintings stolen from San Diego on Feb. 5th was recovered by Sheriff Lacy and Constable Jackson. The man who stole the paintings is John R. Keene, recently taken to San Quentin to serve a five years' term for burglarizing Hawley's gun store in Santa Ana. The paintings were discovered in the Union warehouse of Los Angeles, where they were left by the thief on Feb. 8. Keene made a strong plea for probation after his arrest for robbing Hawley's store. He said it was his first offense, that he stole to get money to send to a sister who lives in Oklahoma City. Before sentence it was found that he had robbed a store in Riverside, and probation was not given. Information received by Sheriff Lacy led him to believe that Keene had stolen goods stored in Los Angeles. He thought it was loot taken from the Anaheim postoffice. The sheriff began a round of the warehouses, and at the first place he went he found a box left by Keene. The sheriff took it, opened it and found sixteen oil paintings tacked to a board. The smallest was tacked first, covered with tissue paper and then the next smallest was tacked down, and so on to the largest. The sheriff remembered that he had received a description of paintings stolen in San Diego. Sheriff Hammel of Los Angeles was given chorge of the paintings.

Keene had carefully scratched the address from the envelope and also the return address. The letter is the one spoken of as having been received by him from his sister asking him for money for clothing. Keene claimed that he was an orphan, but according to the letter his father was an inmate of the San Diego county hospital a few weeks ago.
