J. B. VanSickle has received full par
ticulars of the murder of his brother,
Sherm, which occurred at Orogrande,
New Mexico, on January 28th. The El
Paso (Texas) Daily Times contains a
complete account of the crime, which
appears to have been n cold blooded,
premeditated affair. Mr. VanSickle was
a "tapper" for the Southwest Smelting
& Refining Co. The day before the
shooting he had bad a quarrel with an
other miner by the name of Frank
Brown over the possession of a tent.
The next day Brown threatened to shoot
VanSickle and purchased n revolver for
that purpose, but was once dissuaded
from carrying out his threat. Later,
however, he went to VanSiekle's tent,
and, presumably without any warning,
began to shoot. One of the shots took
effect and his victim died within twenty
mi mites from the time the bullet struck
him.' The murderer immediately fled to
the mountains but was captured the next
day and is now in jail at Alamogordu
awaiting trial. The dead man was about
forty-two y-ars old. He grew up in
this county but has not lived here for
about twelve years.

DIARY OF AN
APARTMENT
DWELLER
Monday. Met Miss Neubaurn in the
hall to-day. Somebody had told her
what I had heard about her, and she
stopped to tell me there wasn't a word
of truth in it, and that she had always
behaved herself enough sight better
than those who tried to run her down
Just because they were jealous, and
that she wasn't going around talking
about somebody else all the time. She
said Mrs. Snifklns was only a biscuit
shooter in a cheap restaurant before
she met him and that Mrs. Wright
used to clerk in a toy store. It seems
as though folks who got their start
that way would be more careful what
they said about others.
Tuesday. Spent the evening with
Mrs. Holcomb and Mrs. Burton. Mrs.
Holcomb showed us some fancy work
she Is doing going to give it away.
She's awfully stuck on her work, and
claims to have taken lessons, but as
I told Mrs. Burton I'd be ashamed to
have such a looking thing around the
house, much leas give it away.
Wednesday. Went to the matinee
with Mrs. Roberta and Mrs. Burton.
Mrs. Holcomb was going, but when
Mrs.. Roberts asked me if I was going
and I said yes, Mrs. Holcomb remem
bered she had another date she had
forgotten nil about Don't see what
made her act so to-day. She was
awfully disagreeable. We went up in
the gallery, just for fun, as Mrs. Bur
ton said. The play was about a
Frenchwoman who got awfully mad
one time and kicked her slippers off
and talked perfectly awful. I didn't
hear much of it but that, for we were
no busy talking. Mrs. Roberts and
Mrs. Barton seined to know almost
every woman in the house, and I
learned a lot of things about them.
Mian Browning sat downstairs with a
gentleman. Mrs. Burton said it was
fanny a girl who claimed to be work
ing for a living could get off to go to
n matinee, and with n man, at that.
Mrs. McCuen was there, and she had
the loudest looking friend with her.
8aw lots of people I never expected
to and there.
Thursday. Well, I am mad clear
through. Here I invited Mrs. Burton
and Mrs. Roberts and Mrs. Stevens
to play cards to-night, and planned n
chafing dish luncheon and just aa It
ET my new percolator the manager
slipped a note under the door saying
there was no cooking allowed. Didn't
have the nerve to tell me to my face,
I suppose. I was out of sight. All we
had to eat was Ice water and wafers.
I wish all the rules and the manager
would go hang, and that apartment
houses had never been discovered.
Friday. The laundress never
showed up this week, and It was up to
me to wash out a few pieces In the
washbowl. Such a time. I got along
all right with the handkerchiefs, but
when it came to the flannels I was
stuck. I put them to soak in the bath
tub, and then found I had no place to
dry them. Put them over the radiators
and turned on the steam. They dried,
all right, but if Charley doesn't have
to use a shoe horn to get Into his
underwear I miss my guess. This
apartment house life Is great maybe.
Saturday. Mrs. Watson told me
they were out to the theater last
night and got home about 12, and that
some young woman in the building
had had a fellow and he was just leav
ing when they came in. She didn't
know who the girl was, for she didn't
see her, but she knew it was so, for
the fellow got out of the elevator just
as they got In. I don't see what they
are thinking of here in the house, hav
ing men hanging around until that
hour, even If the women know no
better.
Sunday. Had a good joke on Mrs.
Watson. She was telling Mrs. Wal
termire about seeing that man who
had been calling on that girl, and
what she thought about it When she
described him Mrs. Waltermire laughed
and said that was her brother, that he
brought her up to the house, going as
far as her door. Mrs. Watson felt
awful cheap. You can't be too care
ful what you say in a place like this,
and jumping at conclusions la wrong
anyway.
Some Hat Lore.
With the ancient Greeks the hat
was simply an appurtenance of the
traveler. The free citizen preferred
to go bareheaded and only put on his
broad-brimmed petasus for protection
against thesun when on a long jour
ney. Indeed, the uncovered head
was part of bis dignity, for the slaves
and workmen wore always a kind of
pointed skull cap, the pilus, which
therefore stood for a badge of servi
tude. Much the same scorn of
habitually covering the head prevailed
among the Romans. In England the
hood was not Anally given up until
the early part of the fifteenth century.

A Lithuanian Funeral.
On Sunday morning a strange funer
al cortege passed through the Mission
streets. The hearse was followed by
a procession of women walking In the
middle of the street They wore dark
skirts trimmed with bands of lace,
embroidery, or colored strips, and all
wore aprons, some of black silk or
cloth, but more of sheer white em
broidered corners, and fringed shawls
were over their shoulders,. It was not
a uniform, but more in the nature of
holiday attire such as one sees in
Italy and France on carnival occasions
or fete days. The men in the proces
sion wore conventional dress, but their
bearded faces were not American. In
quiring as to the nationality of these
odd figures who made such a strange
picture in San Francisco, I found they
were Lithuanians, and that there la a
large colony of them here, mostly em
ployed at a laundry over toward the
Potrero. San Francisco CaiL
