Dunsmuik, Cal.,Sept. 30 J. W. Smith
and family got off the tram last evening
at Castella. Tbey went to Mrs. Mullen's
and engaged lodging; and board for a
week. But when shown the rooms,
Smith refused to stay in them, and acting
ul! the while like a crazy man, he took
his wile and daughter to a tent in the
brnsh and timber at the back ot the
hone, where some parties hid been
camping. The; thought the tent would
do to save expense. About 10 o'clock a
shot was beard, and from that time on
the shooting was kept up till day light
Smith then brought a bundle in a blan
ket and laid it on the porch in front of
the store. The storekeeper, noticing
blood on the bundle, laid back the wrap
pings und was horrified to find the mu
tilated form of a little girl One side of
her body had been blown and torn away
by bullets, and her throat was cut, nearly
severing her head. Smith was walking
around in a dzcd condition. In a few
minutes Mrs. Smith came to'teriog
toward the store, her left arm anil
shoulder being phot away. She was pat
to bed by Mrs Mullen.
AGREED TO BE MUKDEPED.
She said that she pave Smith two re
vol vera and a ebotgon, and that they
agreed that-be should kill the child first,
then her, and himself last. She said a
vigilance committee was after them, and
tbev wanted to get away from 'hem. She
was very weak, but seemed rational
Smith seems to have made an effort to
kill himself, but the charge only grazed
and blackened one side of bis bead He
was arrested and tied down to the floor
n the store. The family came to Duos-
muii from Sisson. Their neighbors here
speak well of th m. Others say that she
wanted to leave her husband and take
ber child with ber Tbey had not alwavs
been harmonious, and Smith said after
he tfis arrested that be took bis family
away from Dunsmuir to murder them,
being afraid to do so in this town. - Mrs.
Smith was a bright and nice-appearing
lady, and the little girl, 6 years old, was
a lovely child.
SHORT BHKIFT FOB SMITH.
As the southbound express left Duns'
muir at 6 o'clock this evening about IS
men bnaided it with a rope and every
thing ready for quick work, and, as soon
the train slackened speed at Castella,
hey jumped off and rushed up to where
the deputy sheriff of Shasta county stood
with a gnard an i Smith, ready to board
he train and take tho prisoner to Red
ing. With drawn pistols tbe party
forced the deputy .sheriff and guard to
stand aside and, while some of the party
kept the officers covered, others took
Smith a short distance away and banged
him to an oak tree. Within 10 minutes
aftor the train baited, Smitb was a dead
man. He said : "Gentlemen, I deserve
; I did wrong." Betore nightfall the
avengers were back in their homes.
Some believe that it was Smith's threat
enings that made' Mrs Smith tell the
iry ot their agreement to murder tbe
rhild and then herself. Mrs. Smitb
passed away at 7 :30 this enening.
Escaped Train Koubers.
Stockton. Cal., Sept. 30 W D.
Wright, of Tuolumne, is in town, and
claims to have seen Evans and Son tag
yesterday. Wright claims to be a rancher
on tbe road between Tuolumne City and
Grayeon. Be says: '-Evans and Sontag
came to my bouse yesterday morning
about 10 o'clock. Tbey were on horse
back, and came from tbe south. Tbe
animals seemed blown, and bad evidently'
had hard work. Evans approached me
and asked if i could give them some
thing to eat. He wore two revolvers in
bis belt, and bad a pack slung over bis
back. Sontag was similarly accouteied.
and bad a cloth covered canteen of water
besides, . In reply tn ibeir request for
food, I invited tbem into the house and
bad my wife cook some breakfast. Be
fore eating, Sontag took tbe horses Into
tbe barn and fid them. From their con
versation it seemed that tbey are making
for some pass in the Coast range, and
from there will go to San Francisco and
leave the country by boat. The men
made a hearty meal, and then asked for
a bed. Evans kept waich wbie Sontag
slept, and vue versa, lhey remained at
my place for over .two hours and seemed
as unconcerned as possible, though al
ways on tbe alert and watbehful for an
attack. When tbev left tbe bouse tbey
forced me to take my wife and children
to a room in tbe second story which has
no window and lock them in. Then I
was made to accompauy them some few
miles along the road to tbe northwest.
About tbree miles from my bouse tbey
took me into a field and tied me to a tree,
saying: 'We are sorry to .do this, but
don t less you will be found in a few hours.
With that they lelt me and rode off.
Evans had bis left arm bound op with
strips of his shirt at a point just below
the shoulder. He had seemingly been
wounded in tbe last meeting at tbe cabin.
It must bave been another two hours be
fore I could get loose, and I came at once
to Stockton to notify Sheriff Cunning
ham." mile J ohnsoa's Case Called for Trial.
Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 30. The case
ot Lillie Johnson, charged with being an
accessory to the murder of Freda Ward
by Alice Mitchell, was . called in the
Shelby county criminal court yesterday.
Miss Johnson's .attorney atked for a
special venue from which to select a jury
to try the case; but tbe action was over
ruled. In rendering the decision Judge
Dopose said that Miss Johnson would not
be placed on trial until Alice Mitchell
bad been cured ot insanity or pronounced
an incurable lunatic. Tbe case was
ordered stricken from the docket, and
Miss Johncon was released in $10,000
bonds, until the asylnm authorities can
be beard from. Letters received from
this city from tbe superintendent of the
Bolivar insane asylum state that Alice
Mitchell shows no symptoms of insanity,
and that she will probably be discharged
as cored before many months. As soon
as sbe is released, she will be arrested on
tbe indictment for the murder of Freda
Ward, and tried jointly with Lillie John
son. Kratalij- Mordered.
NEW York, Sept. 39. Frank Paulsen,
a Grand Army veteran, was brutally
beaten to death in an upper room on
Hester street late last night. When dis
covered there were evidences of a fearful
straggle. In the victim's band was a
lock of auburn hair, evidently torn from
tbe bead of the assassin Later a man
believed to be the murderer was arrested.
He carried an ax, with which tbe deed
w4 probably committed.
The name of the murderer is Frank W
Rohl. He has been fully identified as
the man seen running away from tbe
scene of the crime, and some of Paulsen's
jewelry was found on bim. He resisted
arrest witn an ax.

Murdered by Mexican Cowboys.
San Antonio, Tex., Sept. 30. Joseph
Koon and Charles Moseley, two promi
nent ranchmen living near St Hedwig,
this county, were murdered yesterday by
two Mexican cowboys named Sixte Flores
and Patrice Lopez. Koon and Moseley
were on their way to St. Hedwig when
tbey were waylaid by the two Mexicans

small amount of money. The murderers,
mmediately after tbe crime, started for
the R;o Grande border. They were over
taken at Stockdale by a posse ot officers,
and both were lodged in jail. There was
considerable talk last night of lynching
them, and bad it not been that the jail
was well guarded an attempt would
have been made. Koon and Moseley

hi revolver off for a Colts' as tho one he

cylinder and handed the gun to O. C.
Jensen to examine. Mr. Jensen fingered
the gun, examined it, and banded it back
to Mr. Edmistoo, who reloaded ths cylin
der and renlaced it! in his Docket. After
awhile Mr. Jensen aiked to look at the re
volver again, and under the assumption that
it was not loaded, pulled th trigger with
the result that the gun was discharged, the
ball passing through Mr. Kdmiston s left '
arm, shattering the hone and coming out
four inches above theelbow. Edmiston
was takto home and medical aid waa
secured at once."
