According to Information at the sher

time keeping a close lookout for Ly

In Jiwphlne county. He Is a desper

that he would not be taken alive.

Withers entered to arrest him.
As soon as the family saw what wn

the sheriff and held him so ho could
not make a strong defense, while
young Lyons drew his plFtol and at

Withers In the nock and It Is feared

which case his recovery is considered
ery doubtful.

heavy snow and the very bad condition
of the roads.
An effort is now being made to cap

from the county. A posse of six men
was at once made up In Eugene, head
fd by Deputy Sheriff Brown, and left
for the scene and will try to bring Ly

ine county court nas offered a re
ward of for Lyons, dead or alive
later. The regular conference com
mittee made a last request of the union
republicans before agreeing to accept
the democratic proposition. It was:
"Will you allow us to name on sen
ator, you take the other?" ,
The union republicans replied that
they could abide by nothing but a vota
of a majority of the republican cau
cus. The regular have been retired
and the union republican committee
men .Conner and Townsend, submitted
the Una! proposition of the Addl.lcs
men a follows:
"We will stand or fall by the princi
ple of the majority rule."
Both sides agreed finally to allow ne
gotiations to remain open for a few
days as It was then time to take a bal

the question of the construction of an
Isthmian canal would be discussed In
open session. Morgan spoke on his
resolution introduced yesterday calling i
on the secretary of navy for correspond
ence regarding the military occupation
of the bays of Panama and Colon.
He had not proceeded far, when Cul

tion and the doors were closed.
