"FELEZ--FINDS BURIAL IN THE POTTER'S FIELD -- ROCKLIN (Placer Co.), June 15 - At the Coroner's inquest held over the remains of the section hand killed by the overland flyer, below Rocklin, several days ago, it was learned that the deceased was a Spaniard named E. FELEZ. According to the witnesses, it seems that he started to cross from one side of the track to the other. When about the center, between the rails, he became bewildered at the nearness of the train, and before he could get out of the way, was struck by the engine and thrown sixty feet ahead, off to one side. He had only been working for the Railroad Company but a few days at the time of the accident. The unfortunate man had a sister living in San Francisco, and a cousin working for the Iron Mountain Copper Company, as Keswick, Shasta County, both of whom have been notified. As nothing had been heard from them in regard to the disposition of the remains, they were buried in the potter's field at Rocklin this morning." Source: Sacramento Evening Bee, 15 June 1905.

FUNERAL -- The remains of the late Hon. W.I. FERGUSON were conveyed to the Sacramento boat Wednesday afternoon, says the S.F. 'Call,' by a procession numbering 150 gentlemen, among whom the Hon. D.C. BRODERICK, the late and present Representatives of San Francisco, in the Senate and Assembly, a delegation of the citizens of Sacramento and many of our prominent citizens. During the progress of the procession, the City Hall bell tolled a funeral knell in respect to the memory of one, who, during his official career, had ever been a warm advocate of the various organized Departments of the State. The remains were accompanied to Benicia by the following gentlemen: Hons. E.L. SULLIVAN, G.A. GRANT, S.B. BEEL, S. SOULE, S. JOHNSON, W. SHAW, D. MAHONEY, E.J. MOORE, and Gens. James A.

"FETTES--San Francisco, Feb. 3d. - several pistol shots in quick succession startled the neighthood of 5th St., between Mission and Howard, at 10:10 o'clock this morning. They came from 119 5th St., a saloon kept by Mrs. Catherine FETTES, and were fired by her husband, Andrew FETTES. He killed his wife and then fatally shot himself.

Back of it is a kitchen and over it bed-rooms. At the foot of the steep narrow stairway leading to the upper floor lay the body of a man -- Andrew FETTES. His feet were on the stairs and his head on the landing below in a pool of blood. A faint gasping showed that the man was still alive. Upstairs in the front bedroom, on her back on the floor with her feet toward the door, lay the woman. She was dead. Blood poured freely from a wound on her head out upon the carpet and there were spatters of the same outside on the landing, on the door and on the floor of a room adjoining.
