HUNT FOR COVER.
Escaptd California Convicts arc
for the Mountains.
Headed
Placerville, Cal., July 30. Of the
13 convicts who eecaped from the state
penitentiary at Folsom, 12 are still at
large. Joe Murphy, who was serving
a 14-year sentence (or robbery, was
shot at Pilot Hill. S. M. Gordon, the
reported leader of the gang, who had
been sentenced to 45 years for robbery
desertel his followers soon after they
left the prison. He is heavily armed
and it is not known in, which direction
he sought safety. A negro convict
named Seavis, who was reportid
wounded in the first encounter with
the officers, appears not te have been
injareJ.
The 11 outlaws who remain together
are making for the Sierra Kevaaa
mountains. They are closely pursued
by the sheriffs of Sacramento, Eldorado
and Placer counties each backed by
numerous deputies and assisted oy a
company of militia. About 20 guards
from the Folsom prison are also en
gaged in the chase. It is believed that
the fugitives will toon be surrounded,
and a desperate battle is anticipated,
as all are heavily armed.
The work of the pursuing posses has
been rendered lees difficult toan was
anticipated by the unexpected action
of the convicts, who released all of the
free men they bad held as hostages.
It is thought that this course was
prompted by lack of food and ammuni
tion. Tha 11 escapes are now believed
to be near Placerville, in Eldorado
county, in a rough country and not far
from the mountains, wnicb they evi
dently hope to make their refuge.
The fight at Pilot Hill between the
convicts and their pursuers seems to
have been a more serious affair than at
first reported.
After they had looted a provision
store at Tilot Hill they were practical
ly surrounded by the sheriffs of Sac
ramento and Placer counties, each com
manding a strong posse. All (our
horses on the convicts' wagon were
shot, and one of the criminals was
killed outright. Then the outlaws
raised a white flag and marched up the
road with the guards and others whom
they had captured on each side of them.
A general volley was not ordered,' as it
might have kil'ed several innocent
men. In this desperate manner the
second escape was made.
Now that the captives have been
freed, the pursuing officers have been
instructed to shoot the convicts on
i ilit, and thier death or capture in the
near future is expected.
SHCEPHEN IN ARMS.
Montana
Camp and Pens Burned
by
Warring Cattlemen.
Butte, Mont., July 29. A Miner
pecial from Big Timber, Mont., .says
that the sheepmen of Bridger treek
country, several miles Irom tlnre, are
up in arms as a result of the burning
the Flannagan Bros', cheep camp
and pens, the largest in this section of
Montana. The destruction is believed
by sheepmen to be the work of cattle
men with whom they have been on the
verge of war for the past six months.
The sheepmen have organized poseee
under the leadership of William Bell,
one of the prominent sheepmen, and a
search o( the surrounding country is
being made (or a man whom the sheep
men declare they know is the incendi

HAPPENINGS HERE IN OREGON
GREAT FRU1T.YIELD.
Rogue River Valley Tracs Promise Choke
Product. .
From the viewpoint of the grain-
raiser dame nature is in a state of
revolt this year In Southern Oregon,
the drouth prevailing for the past few
months having wofully reduced the
average In all small grains, it ap
pears as if nature, indeed, rebelled
at man's persistent perversion of soil
and climate conditions iutended to
produce nectar for tlMTgods, to the
baser usca of growing provender lor
klne or grain for human kind or
other cattle.
The orchards and alfalfa meadows,
however, are yielding up such stores
of wealth as only those realize who
are familiar with existing conditions.
Apples and pears promise fancy fig
ures again this year, in fact growers
look for record-breaking prices, owing
to partial failure of fruit of ordinary
quality In the east. Of course the
fancy fruit for which this section is
distinguished is not exactily in com
petition with ordinary barrel stock,
but scarcity of the latter article al
ways enhances prices all round.
Growers are carefully thinning and
applying the summer spray at pres
ent, and favoring weather conditions
are giving promise of quality sur
passing, perhaps, any former year in
the history of the local trade.
FIX PRICE OF PRUNES.
Willamette Valley Growers' Association
Says 1 Cent Basis.
The Willamette Valley Prune Asso
ciation held an important meeting at
Salem last week. Delegates were in
attendance from Douglas, Lane, Linn.
Polk, Benton and Clackamas coun
ties, and from Vancouver, Wash., and
was the most representative gather
ing of the fruitgrowers of the North
west ever held In that city. Organi
zations are already formed In Linn.
Benton, Douglas, Marlon and Yamhill
counties, and at Vancouver, Wash.,
and associations will be formed all
over the state and the nortnwest in
the near future. The plan under dis
cuslon at the meeting was to have all
the associations In the Northwest un
der one secretary, so that It will be
impossible for one organization to un
dersell another In the market, thus
creating uniform scale of prices for
all fruits on the coast. The plan met
with the approval of all present and
an effort will be made to bring the
condition about.
The price of prunes this year Is fix
ed on a 2 cent basis.

Smiling Fields of Polk County.
Excellent samples of hay and grain
have been brought to Independence
this week. Early oats and spring
wheat have commenced to change col
or, and the heads of each are well
filled. Some early hops have been
exhibited in town, which are three-
fourths grown. Hay harvest Is oelng
pushed rapidly forward, and there Is
larger acreage in Polk county tnis
year than has ever been planted be
fore. The fruit season for cherries
and berries has practically passed,
but the plums, prunes and apples are
just commencing to ripen.
Bricks Made on Coos Bay.
The first lot of brick Just hurt at
the new kiln in Catching slough was
delivered this week at North Bend
to be used in making the foundation
lor the boilers and engines of the
woolen mills and sash and door fac
tory. This is the initial burn and
somewhat of an experiment, but from
the appearance of this production
Coos Bav will be able to turn out
first-class brick, a much needed Indus
try, for heretofore this article had
to be Imported.
Huckleberry Season Here. j
Huckelberries are beginning to rip
en in the foothills of the mue moun
tains. Never before was there prom
ise of such a bountiful crop there as
is now presented. The Beasop. has
been an Ideal one for their growth.
There were no early frosts, and as a
consequence none were blighted.
Every bush Is loaded, and already
parties are being formed to go out
and gather the luscious fruit.
Collecting Mining Data.
George E. Boos, of the United
States Geological Survey, Washine
ton. D. C. is at Baker City, and will
make a complete report of mining in
Eastern Oregon, showing production,
cost of operation, wages, etc. By act
of congress mineowners are compel
led to furnish information under pen
alty.
Raany for Steel Bridge. "
The approaches and center pier for
the Lewis and Clark draw bridge near
Astoria have been completed and are
tnr th ateel draw when It ar-
from the east. It has been on
the road for several weeks and is
' xpected within a few day.
JUNE OUTPUT SPLENDID.
Sumpter District Mines Cleaned Up All
of 3350,000.
Estimates based on the production
of ore In the Sumpter mining district
for the past month give much greater
returns than heretofore. The deep
sinking operations carried on In moat
of the leading properties have result
ed in opening up a larger area of min
ing territory and consequently an in
creased production has resulted.
According to the estimates that are
at hand from the best sources obtain
able, the Bonanza Is said to have clear
ed up during June $50,000; the North
Pole, 80,000: the Columbia. $45.-
000; Golconda, $35,000; the Radger,
$30,000; total. $240,000. The produc
tion of the Red Boy is variously stat
ed to be from $25,000 to $50,000, and
therefore should be added to-the to
tal production.
There are many other properties
that are constantly shipping ores
away for treatment at smelters. It is
Impossible to get any figures as to the
value of these ores, as no returns are
given from the smelters receiving
them, except to the owners, and the
latter as a rule are opposed to mak
ing public these figures. It would be
safe in fixing the total at $350,000 for
the month. This total includes the
cleanup from many claims in the dis
trict that are not ranking with the
big producers. This also Includes the
output of the placers as far as can
be learned.
Oregon King Looking Up.
lie Oregon -.ng mine, which has
been shut down for several years on
account of litigation, is again hoist
ing ore. The management Is looking
for more miners and preparing to
make heavy shipments. To give ...
history of this mine would be to re
peat that of other properties accident
ly, discovered, abandoned, relocated
and developed sufficiently to make a
trial shipment, which was found to
give surprising returns. Shipments
followed, which, after deducting
charges for a 60-mile wagon haul to
the then terminus of the Columbia
Southern railway, which was being
extended southward, and freight from
there to the smeiter at Tocama, net
ted over $105 per ton.
Not Enough Water.
The voters of the proposed Little
Walla Walla river irrigation district
tear Frewater turned down the pro
nositlon to form an irrigation
district byMJi2AJM&-SotA.
eTg Irving at the upper end of the dis-
trte killing th- proposition - on - th
ground that the river does not give
enough water when at low ebb for
those holding riparian rights, where
as If an irrigation district were form
ed Including both themselves and
those below them, they would have
to divide what water was with those
lelow them. A three-fifths vote of
the residents was required to carry
the establishment.
Hot Contest for Land.
A contest of more than usual Impor
tance was begun in the Oregon City
Land Office a few days ago. Import
ant Is the contest because an entire
section of heavily timbered land lo
cated near Corvallls, Benton county,
s involved. It is estimated that the
section contains 16,000,000 feet of
fine timber. - There are four entry
men, each having filed upon a quarter
section, and there are as many con
testants on the ground that the en
trymen abandoned and did not prove
up properly on the land.
Prospects for New Flax Mill.
James Boyce, a millionaire of Mim-
cle. Ind.. who is at Salem, is investi
gating the prospects for a new flax
mill in that city. He has made a for
tune In that business, and is Impress
ed with the Idea that such an industry
would be a paying one there. He is
much pleased with the excellence of
the Oregon flax fibre, and may back
Mr. Eugene Bosse, the local .flax-erqw-er,
in the construction of a mill to
manufacture the flax fibre into a
marketable product.

Utah Forwards Object With Liberal ,
Appropriation.
Ogden, Utah, July 29. Unusual
efforts have been made to insure the
success of the 11th National Irritation
Congress, which will be held here

eral state appropriation was made,
and the amount has Ixea doubled by

practical irrigation and . forestry les
sons, reports of experts, application of
provisions of the reclamation act,
state progress nnder the national act,
views on settlement of lega! complica

Center and Hastings, Minn., thinking
tlat it was the limited that was late.
Meanwhile the limited was poind
ing along at regular speed . nd met the
freight head-on juBt after it had
rounded a curve ai Vlasity. The morn-
ng was foggy and neither engineer saw
the other in time to stop, although the
engineer of the limited had applied the
air brakes.

trunks when the car was lifted off the
track, but was taken out uninjured

desperate convicts assault and over
come the guard, capture the prison
armory, make their escape and carry
with them 11 officials and guards of
the Folsom state prison, including War
den Wilkinson and Captain R. S.
Murphy.
Such, in brief, was the news that
startled the people of this community
and sent a thrill through the length
and breadth of the state this morning.
Ihis morning affairs at the prison
went forward in the ordinary groove.
There was no indication of t
The conspiracy of the desperate con
victs whe had decided on a dash for
liberty, had been well kept. The pris
oners marched into the dining room
and had breakfast. After the meal
the men marched out of the main gate
of the prison into the yard. The upper
yard line was out and most of the 6toue
line was through, when two prisoners
turned suddenly on W. Chalmers, the
outer gate keeper, and 'a dozen others
rushed lor the captain's office, only a
few feet to the left of the main en
trance to the prison proper.

armed with a "fi'e Inife"
or a razor,
and in the twinkling of an eye they
were in me midst ol the assemb ed
guards and officers, none of whom were
armed, and ordered them to line up
and march out.
The convicts, having- quelled all
demonstrations made by the free men.
started with their prisoners across the
yard in the direction of the prison arm
ory. Four guards were at the armory
receiving their rifles preparatory io
taking out their "lines." The convicts
marched their prisoners up to the arm
ory, and, holding their knives over
them, demanded that the doors be
opened. It was a cae of opening the

kinson realized the uselessnefs of re
sistance, and told the guards to open
the armory doors. This was done, and
the convicts took possession, secured 10
rifles, 25 revolvers and all the ammu
nition they wanted, and then marched
to the main entrance and demanded
that the gate be opened. They again
threatened their prisoners and the gute
was oi.er,ed. The convicts marched
out and up the hill in the very teeth of
the Gatling guns trained on them.

tle occurred between the escaped Fol
som convicts and the officers toniaht
near Pilot Hill, in Eldorado county.

looting a store at Pilot Hill of provis
ions, proceeded in the direction of
Colons.
Shortly after leaving Pilot Hill they
were overtaken by posses from Sacra
mento, Folsom and Placerville. Guard
Curry, of the Folsom pot-se, opened ne
gotiations by shooting one of the
horses attached to the convicts' wagon,
and this blocked the advance and an
open fight ensued. Convict Howard
was killed outright and Seabis, a negro
convict, was badly wounded. Two
guards, who were with the convicts,
managed to escape. It was alsc noticed
that Gordon and another convict were
missing, and it is presumed that they
dropped out somewhere between Folsom
and Pilot Hill and have taken to the
woods, which anywhere in this locality
wonld provide safe hiding.
