General Cameron and Colonel Carpenter have had the matter of arrest in charge, and have left noth- ing undone to effect his capture. Col- onel Carpenter said last night: ““The *‘life ot ‘‘California Bill” has been full of eventful episodes, which would fill a volume of no little dimen- sions. Stage robbing seemed to be his principal pleasure, and he always did his work with a reckless bravery that is only equalled by the notorious Burton, who single handed, robbed thirteen people in an Alamosa-Del No:?; stage coach. Miner performed his robberies generally with a single assisatnt, and was always successful.” “‘How did he acquire the name of ‘California Bill?' " was asked. “Because he has been known as a California desperado for a number of years, and the euphonious name was given him as a mark of distinction. He was born in Michigan, and is about 35 years of age. He left his native state in 1864 and went direct to California, and, with the exception of one year pasted in Colorado, he is not known to have been out of the state. He had been in the Golden state less than two ye‘;u when he robbed his first stage. p to that i time he had been g‘ common [aborer. although hunted for days.

It is & queer case, angd has an end- ing seldom equalled in the annals of crime. The matter was kept very quiet, be- ¢ause the arrest of another party de- pended upon secrooy. They were CAPTURED IN THE MOUNTAINS after a hard chase. Being so far away from civilization, the officers were not provided with shackles of any kind, and the two prisoners were loosely so- cured with two small leathor straps. They were kept in the saddle all day, and at night a halt wua made at a de- serted eabin, which had formerly been used by a prospector. Two bunks were formed, and to make the prisoners secure the sherfff and his deputy each bunked with a prisoner. At the dead hour of midnight, when the officers, who had been 1n the saddle for forty-eight hours, and were, consequently, very tired and sleepy, were dozing away, thinking their prisoners were doubly secure, California Bill loosened his fastenings, and grabbing a pistol and jumping from bed, fired two shots, one at the deputy and one at the sheriff, All was then commotion, and before the astonished officials could fully understand what was going on, their two prisoners had escaped, kick- ing off the boards which covered the window, and making their exit through the aperture. THEY MADR THEIR ESCAPE, an order of the court, some flaw hav- ing been found in the proceedings. He was about nineteen years old then, His second robbery was com- mitted within three months after his release from the penitentiary, and he wasarrested ! again. He was aided by another party, who escaped. At his second robbery the mail was left untouched, the passengers alone be- ing stripped of their valuables, This robbery took place in Placer county, California. Not having robbed ti‘;n mail, he was tried for grand larceny, and received a five year's sentence, which term he served. Shortly after his release he committed . HIS FHIRD ROBBERY, holding up the passengers in a coach in Calaveras county. For this he was sentenced for ten .iell’l in the same penitentiary in which he had been previously confined. He served five years of this sentence, and was then pardoned by the governor. Within a month after his releasa he robbed another coach in the samecounty, and being found guilty, was sentenced for six years. He served this time, and was discharged July 14, 1880, He then thought the state too hot for him, and immediately after his release came across the range, and after a time found his way to the Colorado frontier, ‘“‘About the middle of Septomber, 1880, ‘California Bill'’ met Billy Le Roy near Pitkin, Billy was then un- known to crime, and was working in a sawmill owned and operated by Warren Patten, now agent for the Southern Utes. Gordon Beach, who was afterwards instrumental in the capture of Le Roy, was at that time working in the sawmill alongside of Le Roy. Beach is now living in Wy- oming. The acquaintance of ‘Cali- fornia Bill' and Le Roy deepened, and it is supposed that Bill induced Le Roy, by his bright stories of the wealth to be obtained, to enter the business of robbing stages, *“Their first work fogether was on the night of September 24th, when they stopped the coach between Pit- kin and Ohio City, on which Harry White, then connected with the Un- ion Pacific road, was the only passen- ger. A very small haul was made— uot to exceed $60. On October 7th following they committed their second robbery together, near Belford post- office, at which time they obtained very little money. A week later they perpetrated their third robbery, and secured a good haul. The Lake Cit: stage was robbed of 86,000, which loss was sustained by the First Na- tional bank of Denver and the Pueblo bank. This put them into possession of ample means, and they let up D rcass bei on their stage robbing, Detectives :{:g.::‘:::‘:] h‘;:‘,‘,',,‘,'{.‘fi :;on s :’,‘:,I;; :l‘:f:tfl‘u‘“p;"i‘?mhai’fi"‘f‘lz and three | y1ong “the fine to the station, and ra’t y Le was ca) e tured in Denver, where hoywu.:peng: moved from the company's premises. |an his u_l&:noym :I‘lid :lv‘l:'l‘ n: good time, — © was identifi brdon Beach, Angell & Bo - who had been on h{a wail since the | sic I’))g:.lun, Up::: ’H{:.u::lgl'o:l:d s commission of the Ohio creek robbery, aprl8tu-thudeat ¥ E———— HUNTING WITH A LOCOMOTIVE. How a Mad Ox Near London Was Chased and Killed. London News, The residents at Windsor, about the precincts of the castle and near the Great Western railroad terminus, had some exciting experiences in the course of yestérday forenoon, owing to the escapades of a mad ox in the streets of the royal borough., While being driven along Thames street shortly after ten o'clock, the animal, which was on its way to the premises of Mr. Fryer, a butcher in Augusta place, mdt{enly turned up Ouzlofiiill, and, passing beneath Henry the Eight's gateway, rushed in an infuri- ated manner by St. George's Chapel and the deanery on the North Terrace Here, after attempting to gore the re- lief on the promenade, it remained for a few minutes, and then made its way back down the hill to the Great West- orn railroad terminus, tossing acouple of horser,danaging a hand om cab|ind fly near to the entrance to the yard, and scaring the people who ‘were about the place. Police Constable Sparks, who had seen the dangerous career of the gnimal ran to the volun- teer armory for a nfle and ball-cart, ridge, and, armed with these, Mr, Tt R. Copeland, of Peascop street, wen- in search of the beast, which, after clearing the yard, ran unchecked along the viaduct in the directiun of the Thames bridge. At this moment the passengers Jof the 10:30 a, m, train were assembling at the railroad sta- tion, and the advent of the maddened ox created considerable commotion among those about the platform. Quitting the terminus on the engine of the express train, Mr. Copeland gave chase, overtaking the ox atthe curve in the line midway between the station and the iron bridge spanning the river, As tho animal kept dodg- ing about, no little difficulty was at first experionced in obtaining an ac- curate aim from the moving engine; but, watching a favorable opportunity Mr. Cupulnhfi covered the beast with his rifle, and, discharging it at a dis- tance of fifty yards, shot it cleverly behind the left ear, death being in- stantaneous, and the fall of the ani- mal being greeted with cheers from the passengers in the express train, which, after this extraordinary inci- dent, went on its way to London, A second shot was afterward fired into The following remarkable story is vouched for by eight reliable citizens of Erie, Pa.: ~ William P. Baxter, isa farmer, and has for many yearsowned a large farm situated between North East, Pa., and Ripley, N. Y. He is frequently in Erie, where he is well known, Near to the Baxter farm there lives a family by the name of Foar, highly respected by their neigh- bors, About twenty-five years ago there was born in this family a girl, a swoed littlo cherub that became the pet of the neighborhood. They named her Rosa and she grow up a | WONDERFUL TRANSFORMATION. A Pennsylvania Woman of Twenty- lovely child, and in due time she was sent to school. Here she distinguished herself by most extraordinary pre- cocity. Her aptitude exceeded that of scholars ten years older than herself, and in less than two years she had pass- ed every other pupil and stood at the head ot her classes, the holder of all the honors competed for, At the age of 14 she entered the service of Mrs, Baxter, the fitst wife of the farmer reforrod to. Rosa proved to be as good a girl for the farm-house duties a8 sho had been a student, and the Baxter family liked her so well that she waa treated in overy respect as hough she was one of the family, Sho continued to live there, and when o @ had attained the age of 18 her hana Was sought in marriage by a young warmer from a neighboring vil- lage. For' 8ome reason, - unaccounta- ble at that e to her friends, Misa Fear declined tic® honorable offer, al- leging that she hau' no desire to quit the roof of her kind friends, About this time it began to be noticed that Rosa's features were losing their fem- inine softnesa,and that the effeminate contour of her hitherto symmet- rical form was vanishing, aud giving place to masculine angularity, Her hands, that were once so well shaped, began to grow coarse, and a down appeared on her upper lip, The presence of the latter greatly distressed her, and as it con- tinued to grow in spite of all her ef- forts to prevent it, she became so ashamed that she refused to aocom- y the Baxters to the family pew in the village church, or to mingle in any of the socials or parties in which she had once been a courted belle. The family, while deeply regretting the loss of Rosa's personal attractions, tried to laugh her out of her sensi- tiveness. But the girl appeared to be consumed with a secret About six months after this, Rosa did not appear as usual one morning. No answer cagge from her room, and when it was broken open it was found to have been unoccupied that night. All Rosa’s clothes were hanging up, Worllng (hElhl‘ - - Capital Bock, Par Valuo of Shares, ~ = 5 STOCK FULLY PAID UP AND NON-ASSESSABLE e ] DIRECTURY OF LEADING WESTERN HOTELS. ve T HOTELS.

KENDALL, Authorized Agent for Sale of Stock: Bov 44° Owaha. Neb, a dreadful suspicion of suicide was uppermost in his thoughts. But Rosa was not in the barn, neither was she in any part of the barn, At last the searchers found two letters in her trunk, one ad- dressed to Mrs Baxter, the other to her parents. The contents of Mrs, Baxter's lettes created the utmost con- sternation. It said that the writer had gone awap; that it would be use- less to follow her; that her life had beccme unbearable, because within a year nature had worked a complete metamorphosis, unsexing her, and making it necessary to change her home and raiment. The astonished Baxters discovered that she had left all her female clothing, down to the minutest article, and that she had attired herself in a suit of clothes belonging to Dr. A. Freeman, now an alderman from the First ward in Erie. Dr. Freeman was a yearly visitor at the Baxter farm, and he frequently spends a day or two there still. He was well acquainted with and he often saw her when she lived with the Baxters. He had been vis- iting there a week when the girl dis- appeared, and left a suit of clothes behind him by mistake. Two months prssed and a letter came in Rosa’s fine handwriting, It informed the family that the writer was well and was working as a farm hand in Ohio, but that the stamp of the letter would give no clew to her address, Two years elapsed and one morning a fine-looking young man with sun- burned face, magnificent beard, and heavy dark mustache stood at the gate of the Fearhomestead. “Do you know me, Mary?’ he said to the young lady who came out to ascertain his business, The tones were deep and manly and there was a familiar ring in the stravger's voice, “It is Roaz!” said the girl, and the next moment the spectators were regaled with a sight of Miss Mary Fear clasped in the arms of a young fellow, giving back as many kisses on his mus.ache as he showered upon hay uplifted face, “Not Rosa, but Charles Fear, now,” said the: whilom housemaid, and then he told them how, after that wonderful change, he had hired out us male help, that he had made a lit- tle money and had come home to work the farm, Mr, Charles Fear runs the farm to- day, and Ripley has no citizen heid m higher estimation than he. Since his return he has twice been appointed a teacher in the public schools, and he can be seen on the Fear farm every day of the weck, Buch is the remarkable story told to a correspondent of The Buflalo Courier. ‘The references given were hunted up, and although there was reluctancy to sgeak about it, all con- firmed the story, Dr. Freeman was called upon re- garding the suit of clothes, and he confirmed the account, stating also that he was weil acquainted with all the circumstances related. He fur- ther stated that in his opinion nature was undecided as to Fear's sex, and that at the age mentioned masculinity developed, Bucklin's Arnica Salve, The Best SALvE in the world for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum, Fever Rores, Totter, Chapped Hands, Chilblains, Corus, and all skin gruptions, wud_posi tively cures piles, It s guaranteed to ive satisfaction or money refunded. rice, 90 cents per box, For salo by makes veny ks and clear complexions.
