Yisalia, CU Ang. 5. DetectiYe Wm.
Smith and Deputy Sheriff Whitty, who
are in search ot tbe robbers who held up
the Los Angeles express, near Fresno,
visited the bouse of Curia Evans to day,
as tbe; bad a clew indicating' that Evans
and a man named John Suntag were the
robbeis. They found George Conant,
alias Sontag, there, took him to jail, and
after questioning him charged bim with
robbery. The two. officers then secured
tbe wagon and returned to the house for
the. purpose ot gettint? the trunk sup
posed to contain the gold. While they
were bitching tbeir horses tbey saw John
Sontag eater tbe house. Evaas also
entered, but after the officers had cone
in be denied that Son t air was there. Da
tictivtf Smith entered the bedroom and
saw Sontag nanniDg mere, noiaing
double barrelled sua At that moment it
vvasfuund Evacs ul'O had a gun. IDe
officers then ran out of tbe house and
into the road, Kvjids pursuinsr Wbitty
and Sontig pursuing Smith. Both men
flrerl several shots at tbe rthcers. WDUty
was bit aod fell. Smith was clso slight
ly ioiured in tbe bxck and band by shot
Evans and Sontsg then jumped into the
wagon which tbe ethecra bad lelt and
drove awav. Smith state (hat be found
in Evans bouse tbe material from which
the maeks were made, and be aleo found
that the team used bv tbe robbers
Wednesday night was hired in Yisalia by
John Sontag.
A HUNDRED MEN IN PURSUIT.
Half an hour after Smith and Wbitty
1 bad tbeir encounter with the robbers a
hundred men were in - purusit, but np to
tbe present moment they bave oof been
captured. Whitty was shot under tbe
right shoulder, the bullet coming out
under the left arm. His back and one
side of tbe face were well sprinkled with
shot from a shotgun. Smith's wounds
were scratches. The opinion is general
rbat bad Smith awaited the arrival of
8beriff Cunningham and Detective
Thacker, the men would have been ar
rested.. Evans is well acquainted with
tbe mountains ea?t of here, and the
chances are that upon reaching tbe tim
I ber he will escape. He bas a wile a ad
seven children ' here. Sontag has been
attentive to Evans' eldest daughter.
Sontag ha9 been a railroad engineer.
The two men, a year ago, kept a livery
stable at Modesto, which 'was destroyed
by fire. Sontag bas been under sur
veillance of tbe officers for some time.

Washington. Aug. 5. Tbe senate
waited for some time after convening for
a metsage nora the noue ana men went
into executive session and confirmed ibe
following nominations to be jadges .of
probate in Utab: S. V. Frazier. William
Goodwin, H.- W. Haigbt, Jacob Johnson,
John Rider. A. L. - Robinson, Henry
Shields.. Orange Seeley, Martin Slack,
T. 8. Wilson. -
During tbe executive session a message
was received from tbe house witn tnc
world's fair bill. After the doors re
opened it was laid before tbe senate in
regular - session, vest said if he could
deleat it by any sort of parliamentary
tactics he would do . so cheerfully. It
was evident, however, the bill would pais,
and S.U he could do hope to do would be
to delay action on it. Cockrell, George,
Wbite and Harris also said tbey oppo-ea
tbe bill. Cullom said tbe people of Chic
ago were willing to let the government
snare proportionately the profits of the
fair, if there be profits, but tbe house bad
not put that condition in the bill, and it
was dangerous dow to attempt to amend
it. ' After further colloquy, in wbich Cul
lorn and Sherman declared tba people of
Chicago bad done more than tbey prom
ised, the bill was put to a vote and passed.
-A Chance for Train Bobbera.
San Francisco, Aug. 5 A local paper
is authority for tbe statement that $60,
000,000 m gold coin left this city for
Washington last night, guarded by 89
picked men of the railway mail service!
The paper goes on to state that the accu
mulated store of gold coin at San Fran
Cisco has been steadily increasing during
tbe past 20 years, Wben J. P. Jackson
assumed tbe . office of sub treasurer, he
found more than $70,000,000 in coin in
the vaults of that institution. Since then
tbe amount has increased to $70,000,000,
and tbo accumulation . was seriously
crowding tbe vaults. In tbe mint, too,
tbera bad been a steady accumulation.
At tbe time of tbe Chilian trouble, the
government bad stored hero more than
$100,000,000. It was then that attention
was directed to tne danger oi carrying
sucb an accumulation if treasure, not
only in San Francisco, but in any seaport
citv. The proposition to remove the
bulk of tbe coin to tbe sub treasury
vaults to Washington was mooted then,
and it bas come up regularly from time
to time since, finally resulting in its
shipment to Washington, under a strong
guard, last uigbt. A ...
. "lret Seesloa Over. .
Washington, Aug. 5. At noon tbe
house . assembled in . committee . of tbe
rholo for consideration of Durborow's
world's fair bin.-" Cummings, of New
York, attacked it bitlerly, characterizing
it aa an attempt to rob .the treasury.
Fellows, of New York, defended tbe bill.
Tbe debate continued until 1 p. wben
tbe chairman stated that nnder tbe orders
of tbe bouse tbe committee must rise.
The committee rose, and tbe bill was re
ported to tbe Louse, tbe pen ling amend
ment being the substitute of Di Armond,
of Missouri, tor tbe first section, provid
ing tbat if the Exposition deposits at the
mint enongn silver bullion it sball be
coined for Exposition, in amount not ex
ceeding $5,000,000. Tbe substitute was
defeated 70 to 189, Tbe roll was tben
called on tbe passage of tbe Durborow
bill. Tbe vote resulted : Yeas, 1S1 ;
nays, 3. isailey, or . iexas, made a
futile attempt to filibuster. This passes
tbe bill finally in tbe bouse. Tbe bill
was at once enrolled and taken to tbe
senate, but before it- could be presented
the senate went into executive session.

a dense fog and driven on the recks off
Cape Caution, Queen Charlotte Sound.
Fragments of tbe canoe bave been found,
i but there are no tidiuga ot tue bodies

Homestead, Aug. 5. It is given out
here that . tbe reported strike at tbe
Studebaker wagon works at South Bend
is tbe first fruits of tbe worx wbich bas
been done by Hugh 0'Doonell since be
left Homestead so mysteriously after be
ing released on bail. He has been visit4
I tie tbe large establishment nsing Carne
gie's iroD,and working with tbe employes
to get them to boycott iron from
Homestead. Tbey give no names, but
say a number of la'ge plants will be
compelled to stop using Carnegie iron or
he closed. 1 be (Jarnegies have expected
sucb a move, but from assurances re
ceived from their customers, do not an
ticipate any serious loss of -business.
There is no cbauge at the mill this morn
ing, hnd all was quiet at Duquesne last
night and this morning, but tbe militia
j will remain on guard till all danger seems
past. I he strikers claim most of tbe old
bands who applied for work have recon
sidered, and will not go in Monday.
The Chase Is Rot
Yisalia, CalM Aug. 6. Evans and
Sontatr, the Col lis train robbers, came to
tbe Evans bouse about 12 o'clock last
nigh', and after eating supper went to
the barn. Five or six men standing
around discovered the team in tbe barn
lot, not haviog seen them come in. Un
doubtedly they had returned to secure
the hidden coin, as a hole filled with
fresh dirt was found in the barn this
ruoroiDg. Deputy Sheriff Oscar Beaver,
a guard, saw the men at the barn and
opened lire, tbe sBot being returned by
the robbers, wounding Beaver so that be
died at 6 o'clock tbis morning. Fifteen
shots were exchanged. Beaver firing eight.
Some of bis shots wounded tbe horses, so
that one bad to be killed. While the
guard wss attending Beayer, the robbers
escaped on foot. Tbey went in a north
erly direction, aod three miles from town
tried to borrow horses from an acquain
tance. - Tbe officers in pursuit traced tbe
men four miles northeast where tbey en'
tered a field. Tbe pursuers' team gave
out, and thev returned to town. Twenty
or 30 men are now in pursuit on borse
back.
THE KILLING OF OSCAR BEAVER.
Yisalia, Cat., Aug. C, The remains of
Oscar Beaver, shot by train robbers this
morning, were forwarded to Lemoore
this afternoon. His wife was visiting in
Rio Vista and was telegraphed to come
borne early this mornings Beaver was
unconscious several hours previous tn his
death. Seventy four small . shot were
found in the body. The death wound
was made bv buckshot in the abdomen
and chest. He was a fearless man and
bad always been in demand by sheriffs
wben desperate work was required. A
large delegation of friends from Hanford
acd Leiuoom accompanied bis remains
home this everjiog. The tuoeral will
probably occur to morrow. The robbers
undoubtedly escaped 'from tbe 'barn
while tbe attention of the guard was
called to Beaver. JNone 01 the guard
would approach Beaver after be fell to
tbe ground. Frank iJtrd, a brother in
law of the robber, Vans, who wss at the
house, was called out to remove tbe body.
and was assisted in doing so by ex Sheriff
Overall. However, Beaver lay where he
fell 20 minutes, and his groans could be
bea-d blocks away.
- NO DOUBT THEY WILL BE CAUGHT.
Sheriff Cunningham states there is no
doubt tbe men bave committed most of
the tra'n robberies which have occurred
in ibis valley. Excitement is bigb here,
and if tbe men are caugbt they will be
bung it taken alive. Ihey can hardly
escape, as all ' the tbr-rougblares . are
guarded. Deputy . Sheriff Wi'ty, who
was shot yesterday, will recover, unless
b:ojd poisoniDg occurs. Detectives
Thatcher, Cunningham aod Overall are
just starting out again.
J. M. Dye, rtsidiug seven miles north
east of the city bas just come in town
Evans and Soatag passed tbis place at 8
o'clock In a cart drawn by a male. They
saw a team comiog toward them on tbe
Stokes Valley road, and turned back a
short distance to take tbe Nigger creek
road leading to ' Drum valley, Fresno
county. . Dye met no one in pursuit.
An tx supervisor, living 14 miles north
of the city, says the robbers passed bis
place at 5 o'clock this morning, evidently
making for Stokes mountain, a ragged
country, with plenty of water. Evans
knows every mountain trail in tbe Sierras
in Fresno and Tulare, and a man on foot
can take paths no borse can travel. Dep
uty Sheriff Witty'a condition bas changed
lor the worse in the last two hours
There is danger of blood poisoning, says
bis physician.
..A teiegrsm from Reedley to Sheriff
ELay, received 'at 8:15 P. M., says Evans

Pittsburg, Pa., Aug.; 6. On June 9
last, Martin Reed, confined in tbe Wash
ington county jail for tbe murder of
Alexander Chappcll, escaped, and wss
not located until to-day. He was found
concealed in an ice-boose at West
Noblestovn. Wben discovered by Offi
cera McBride aod Orr, Reed refused to
surrender, whereupon an attempt was
msde to force tbe ice-bouse door. Reed
evidently was determined not to be taken
alive, for he opened fire on the officers
and dangerously . wounded Orr. The
policemen called for belp, and a laige
number of - citizens of tbe place re
sponded, and another attack was made
on foe icehouse. Shot after shot came
from Reed's revolver,- and ' do one
dared to venture close to tbe icehouse.
Finally Constable Boyle placed himself
at tbe bead of a number of others and
led an assault on the murderer's stronghold.-
The beseigers were met with a
volley and Constable Boyle was instantly
killed The death of the officer spread
consternation among tbe besiegers, but
they rallied and determined to set fire to
tbe icehouse, thus forcing Reed to sur
render. Soon tbe flames spread front one
end of the building to be other, but
Reed ' did not surrender, and seeing be
had the choice of burning to deatb, sur
rendering or shooting himself, be chose
tbe latter. Reed's boly was discovered
soon afterwards, bmned to crisp. .
Tbe crime for which Reed was con
victed was the murder of . Alexander
thappell. Chappell's , wife was a most
attractive woman, and Reed, falling in
love with ber, planned and executed the
crime in order to marry ber. He gave
bis victim poisoned whisky to dnnk. .
