SAN DIEGO.

Further Particulars of John Patterson's Death—Christmas Sports.

SAX DIEGO, Dec. 24.—The usually quiet suburb of National City was the scene of a cowardly murder last night, the victim being a man named John Patterson, watchman for th* Land and Town company's orchard. Patterson was found sitting in a wagon close by thp company's property, and died before he could give any information of how he was murdered. An examination of the body when taken to the undertaker's showed that his entire left shoulder and left side of the back were riddled with bird shot, causing -internal hemorrhage. A reasonable solution of the mystery is that Patterson had seen thieves in the orchard gathering oranges and jumped into their wagon, intending to drive it into town for evidence. The thieves saw ldm take possession of the horse and wagon and fired at him, the shot causing his death. Later In the evening Sam Black, who was crippled in the capture of Chris Evans, reported at police headquarters that his horse and wagon had been stolen from him while hunting in Telegraph canyon, which is a few miles beyond National City, and after giving a full description, it was found to be the one in which Patterson had been killed. Black says that there were two men in his w agon, but he \ra.s not aide to identify them. This morning the local officers were set to work on the case, and the footprints found in the orchard may lead to the arrest of the guilty party or parties before the day Is over. A football match between representatives from the University of Southern California and the Rues school will be played here tomorrow afternoon. The alignments and weights of the respective teams show them to be evenly matched, and a good game can be counted upon. Much encouragement is felt among parties interested in the Linda. Vista irrigation district over the prompt payment of taxes. The largest property owners have signified their willingness to pay up all back taxes, and with this done, the district's affairs will be in good shape.
