THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY. JUNE 24, 1895, —_— e 3 NEWS OF THE COAST, Setting of Stakes for the New Road Now ‘to Begin. FOILED BY A TRUSTY. Tacoma Prisoners Fail in an Attempt to Break From Jail. AN ASSAULT AT VALLEJO. John Hayes Brutally Beaten by Roughs in a Barroom Brawl. STOCKTON, CAL,, June 23.—J. 8. Wil- bur, superintendent of construction of the San Frgncisco and San Joaquin Valley Railroad, has arriyed in the city for the purpose of attending to the preliminaries for starting the work of construction. During the day Mr. Wilbur has been familiarizing himself with the route of the road as granted in the franchise by the City Council, and before this time next week the course of the new railway can be traced by a line of stakes which Mr. Wil- bur and the men under his direction will shortly begin setting. This completed, the only thing holding back the work inside the city limits will be the arrival of material. This will be here within twenty days at least, so that the people of this city may expect to wit- ness great signs of activity with the next month. The company will also establish perma- nent headquarters here for those engaged in the work of construction. This city will be the general headquarters during the building toward Bakersfiela, and the material will all be delivered here by reason of the water facilities. The rooms in which to locate the headquarters have already been secured. SURVEYORS AT FVISALIA. People Along the Chosen Route Securing Rights of Way. VISALIA, CatL., June 23.—Messrs, Gates and Jasper, who have charge of the party surveying from Fresno to Visalia for the Valley Railroad, arrived in Visalia at 2 o’clock this afternoon. While here they will locate a camp, to which they ehpect to move about the middle of the week. The present camp is locatad about ten miles north of this city. The line as now run crosses the Kings River near Reedley, thence through the pass in Smith’s Mountain, leaving Orosi one and one-eighth miles to the east and Dinuba four miles west.

The committee having the contest in charge—Morve L. Weaver, E. E. Mc- Veagh and Guy Gilmer—have arranged an attractive programme. A number of crack shots will be present from other places to participate. The monthly medal shoot of the San Joaquin Valley Gun Club will take place on that day, the shoot to begin at 9 A. M. promptly, to avoid the heat and give all a chance to see the other features of the day. A room in charge of the com- mittee will be furnished, where the guns and ammunition of visiting marksmen will be cared for. TACOMA CONVICTS FOILED. A Trusty Frustrates an Break From Jail. TACOMA, Wask., June 23.—A desperate attempt was made to-day by twelve county prisoners in the County Jail to break jail. Assistant Jailer George (iibbs was knocked down and several long-term prisoners would have escaped if a prisoner acting as trusty—Will Woodruff—had not assisted Chief Jailor Goodrich to lock the prison doors. Mickey O'Neil, alias Thomas Hay- den of San Francisco, and Frank Pomeroy, the leader of the Oregon highwaymen, were the leaders of the would-be jail- breakers. They have been planning; with the assistance of leading crooks of the Northwest, for two months, to escape. Hayden was sentenced Friday to four years in the penitentiary. fittd wgresri s Attempt to BRUTALLY BEATEN AT VALLEJO. John Hayes Receives Fatal Injuries in a Barroom Brawl. VALLEJO, CavL., June 23.—Officer Blos- sington discovered a man who gave the name of John Hayes lying in an alleyway in this city yesterday, and on examina- tion he wids found to have suffered the fracture of several ribs, the broken bones lacerating the lungs. The day previons Hayes had been found drunk and on promising to leave town had been released by Judge Lamont. Hayes said he had been violently assaulted in a city-front saloon, and kicked in the body. His injuries are probably fatal. One arrest was made last night in connection with the matter, but on seeing the man Hayes said it was not the person who maltreated him. ST s REDWOOD CITY RIDERS WIN. Fifteen Wheclmen Contest in the Twenty- Five Mile Relay. REDWOOD CITY, CaL., June 23.—The twenty-five mile relay bicycle race from Millbrae to Mountain View was won by the Redwood City Bicycle Club. San Ma- teo and Mountain View clubs also con tested, each having five riders in the race. Time, 1:10. - The Redwood City team was composed of the speediest men and when the last re- lay was commenced the representative of that team led the Mountain View man a mile. William Bryan, who rode the last relay, made a game fight, riding the last five miles in 13:30 and gaining over two minutes on his opponent. who preceded him over the tape about 15 seconds. San Mateo tinished third s T Injurcd at santa Rosa. SANTA ROSA. Cavr., June 23.—While driying in this city to-day George Zimmer- man of Petaluma was thrown from his buggy. His horse was high spirited and ran into a sidewalk. Zimmerman’s head struck the curb, tearing his scalp, from the crown of the head down to below the right eye, Joose from the skull. He was insensible when picked up and bled pro- fusely, but regained consciousness after leaving the surgeon’s office. His skull is not fractured, but it is considered a very serious wound by the attending physician. e e ENTRIES AT SAN JOSE. Many Crack Riders Will Start in the Tourth of July Races. SAN JOSE, CAL., June 23.—The coming meet of the California Division of the League of American Wheelmen, to be held in this city July 4, promises to be a suc- cess from the way entries are coming in. Excepting the three third prizesin class A events the prizes are all diamonds, velued from $50 to $150. Tandem pace- makers will be used in all the events, and every effort will be made {o establish new coast records. The San Jose Road Club and Garden City Cyclers made runs to Niles Canyon to-day. to attend the picnic of the Califor- ia cycling clubs. A Burglar’s Haul. S8AN JOSE, CaL., June 23.—This after- noon while C. Hommrich and his family were out for a drive a burglar entered his residence on Park avenue. Entrance was effected through a rear glass door. A number of bureau drawers were ran- sacked and a watch and chain and a lot of jewelry to the value of about $100 were taken. Itis believed that the burglar was interrupted in his work, as much jewelry and silverware within easy reach was not taken. There is no clew to the perpe- trator. —_— A Probable Case of Suicide at Phenix. PHENIX, Ariz.,, June 23.—B. Muller, steward of Delmonico’s of New York, who has been in Pheenix for several weeks for relief from consumption, is missing.

C., June 23.—Advices received here state that a clean-up recently took place at the Cariboo Hydraulic Com- pany’s mine, Cariboo, the result being 66 pounds 3 ounces of gold. This is consid- ered extremely gratifying, as it repyesents only 172 hours’ washing. —_—— Sultry at Sacrameuto, SACRAMENTO, Car., June 23.—A hot wave struck this section yesterday and the mercury ran up to 99. To-day it reached 102, but to-night a cool breeze is blowing from the southeast. This is the third time in eighteen years that the mercury went so high in June. SPOKANE WOMAN MISSING Mysterious Disappearance of Mrs. Olivette Warner in Chicago. Diligent Search of Relatives Falls to Reveal a Trace of Her Where- abouts. CHICAGO, IiL, June 24.—A case shrouded in mystery and embracing the disappearance of a wealthy Western woman was reported to Captain Elliott at the Cen- tral station yesterday afternoon. The woman who has so mysteriously disap- peared from sight was Mrs. Olivette O’Neal Warner of Spokane, Wash. The disap- pearance of Mrs. Warner has tied up an estate valued at $300,000, in which she owns one-sixth interest. ‘Warner, together with five others, came into possession of mining property in Washington valued at the above figure. Last March the missing woman was thrown from a horse and sustained in- juries from which she was disfizured. The following month she came to Chicago for treatment and entered a private hospital. She corresponded with her brother, David O’Neal in Spokane, but her mail was al- ways sent to the general delivery, the brother not even knowing the name of the hospital in which she was being treated. After her departure from Spokane nego- tiations were entered into with a syndicate of Canadian capitalists for the sale of one of the mines owned by the estate. The purchase price was to be $50,000, and all the arrangements for the sale were com- pleted. The papers were drawn up and signed by all the interested parties except Mrs. Warner. The money was deposited by the Canadian syndicate in a Chicago bank, where it now is, to be paid over as soon as Mrs. Warner's signature was af- fixed to the papers. About four weeks ago Mr. O’Neal re- ceived a letter from Mrs. Warner, stating that she was ready to return home and would do so as soon as money was sent her for that purpose. Mr. O'Neal at once mailed her New York drafts for $300, to the general .delivery at Chicago. Indue course of time the letter containing the draft was returned to Mr. O'Neal un- opened. Since thattime Mr. O’'Neal, who arrived in Chicago Saturday, has heard nothing of the missing woman. This morning two detectives were detailed on the case. The missing woman was described as 35 renrs old, tall and very extremely good- ooking. She is the wife of Dr. Warner, a Spokane doctor, who is now in Florida, and who is- not yet aware of the mystery surrounding his wife. —————— Shot in Chinatown. Yu Too Foo, a Chinese merchant, was shot in Baker alley, near Sullivan alley, early this morning. The wound was in the abdomen, and is serious if not fatal. Ah Fong, a Chinaman who was running from the scene just after the shot was 1 fired, was arrested on suspicion. The row was supposed to have been over a woman. A ROAD TO YOSEMITE, Bureau of Highways In-~ spects a Pronosed Route. ENGINEER MAUDE'S TRIP. Convinced That the State Ap- propriation Will Cover Its Cost. JUNKET OVER THE STATE. Members of the Bureau Conclude aThree Weeks’ Trip In the Inter- estof Better Roads. SACRAMENTO, CaLn., June 23.—The members of the Burean of Highways left Sacramento on May 31, en route to the Yosemite Valley; they made the trip over- land for the purpose of examining the roads and inquiring into the feasibility of races winding down the mountain, splen- didly walled up with massive masonry. On the roads through the valley there has been splendid work done. The soil of the valley is a disentegrated mecacious granite, which grinds into powder and rises in clouds of dust. There is no first- class material at hand which could be used for macadam purposes; but Commissioner Irwin, in prospecting around, found quan- tities of hard blue hornblende granite that L0S ANGELES SPORTS, The Turners Contest for Honors on the Field. could be made available. He also found a | black earth which, properly handled and thoroughly sprinkled, would make a good wearing surface for roads. The trails throughout the valley are well built and display wonderful engineering genius; especially is this the fact in the zigzag trail leading up to the Nevada Falls. In returning from the valley, the route by way of the south side of the valley was followed, leading by Wawona. This is over a toll road owned by the Wawona Hotel Company; the road is in splendid condition, although in places the grades are steep. From Wawona the route over the county road to Mariposa was foliowed, and the members of the bureau state that the condition of the road is one of the grossest outrages upon the taxpayers ever perpetrated. The grades are extremely steep, and what work had been done for the purpose of improvement had only rendered them nearly impassable. A day was passed in Mariposa investigat- ing the most plausible method of estab- lishing a free rcad into the valley, for which pnrpose $50,000 was appropriated by the last Legislature. Here the party was CABIN ALONG THE - _—— ROUTE TRAVERSED. constructing a free road into the valley. In driving to Elk Grove they found the road through Sacramento County sadly in need of systematic reformation, and found that although Sacramento County has natural material sufficient to insure the best grade of roads, San Joaquin possesses far better thoroughfares, presumably be- cause the adobe nature of the soil in the latter county makes better roads an ab- solute necessity. In San Joaquin County the roads are systematically surfaced and graded in true lines; it was learned on inquiry of Super- visor Henderson of that county that the thoroughfare was known as Cherokee Lane and that its universal excellence was due to the fact that it had formerly been a toll road turned over to the county. Since its acceptance there had been practically no work performed on it; yet, it was in good condition and fully demonstrated the fact that it was remunerative to the former toll company to build excellent thoroughfares, as the people showed a preference for their road even though assessed a toll rate. It also fully demonstrated the fact that a road properly constructed in the first place was by far the most economical, as the cost of maintenance was slight. From Btockton to Knights Ferry the road was composed of adobe soil which, altbough exceilent in summer, would no doubt in winter be nearly impassable. At Knights Ferry there is an inclosed bridge over the Stanislaus River which, the mem- bers of the bureau declare, is simply abominable, some genius having conceived again joined by Civil Engineer Maude, who had been delegated to make the trip down the canyon of the Merced River and report as to the feasibility of establishing a State road into the valley by that route. Engi- neer Maude left the other members of the bureau in the valley, and accompanied by J. M. Hutchings, who is thoroughly con- versant with the entire country, started on foot over a country whose roughness would daunt any one but an enthusiast. He car- ried a camera and aneroid barometer for the purpose of taking viewsand elevations. + After a hard day’s-climb over rocks and through the tangled scrubof the moun- tains, Mr. Maude arrived at Hennessy's ranch, where he found it necessary to cross the river. This was accomplished by means of a boatsman’s chair suspended on a wire cable reaching from bank to bank. The chair was hung on an ordinary well wheel and the passage wasaccomplished by drawing himself hand-over-hand to the other shore by meansof the cable, while beneath the river roared and tumbled in a mass of foam over the jagged rocks. At this point the services of Antonia, a burro of pronounced type, were secured, and he was loaded with an assortment of provi- sions and blankets. The second day’s journey brought Mr. Maude to the cabin of Thomas Twaddle, a miner, who treated the weary tramps in the typical hospitable style of '49. It was again found necessary to cross the river, the passage being accomplished in a rough apology for a boai, whose bottom was formed of a roughly hewed slab with fence A CULVERT IN THE VALLEY STATE ROAD. the idea that a thick layer of soil would protect the planking of the structure. The road from Knights Ferry to Chinese Camp is in woeful need of repair, the foun- dation being of slate and lava, interspersed with huge bowlders, while its serpentine line would leave the impression that it had originally been a cattle trail. In ome place the road divides, leaving a huge mass of debris in the center, and_in places there are cuts fully two feetin depth. It is the opinion of the bureau that there is no possible- excuse to beoffered for the condition of the roadsin this locality, as thereis an abundance of excellent ma- terial in the immediate vicinity to insure the manufacture of a road tnat would be unsurpassed by any if intelligently handled. From Chinese Camp to Priest’s the road is better, and in some places excellent work has been performed. Especially is this the case in the vicinity of the bridge leading across the Tuolumne River. This portion of the route lay overa toll road. From this point the road winds up the far- famed Priest’s Hill, where in a distance of two and a quarter miles the grade rises 1680 feet, as ascertained by observations takan with an aneroid barometer. From this place to Crocker's the road was excellent. From Crocker’s the road ascends until an altitude of 7000 feet is reached, when the descent into the valley commences. This is a splendid piece of engineering work, being a series of ter- boards nailed on the sides and ends. It leaked like a screen and the party had a narrow escape from a watery grave. In summing up Mr. Mawde said there will not be the slightest difficulty in con- structing an excellent road into the valley through the Merced Canyon, which will be far superior to the present toll roads, which afford access only seven months in the year, being impassable the other five wmonths &x account of snow. I have no hesitation in saying,” said he, ,‘that I could easily construct a roml with the amount of money at hand which would far excell any of the present ones into the valley.” The elevations obtained en route are as follows: Cancade Falla-...ooloue niertioninvionsaasss Junction ot Coulterville road with river trail, Crane Creek. s Hennessys.. 2100 Moss Creek 1950 Moss Creek. 1840 Cranbury Mill 1780 Ferguson Mill 1690 Poverty Flat.. 1620 Foot of Jenkins bill. 1480 Goods Flat, on Merced River, Twaddle cabin, 1300 Top of Whittock hill, near Mariposa. 3240 MAriposa............. 1932 New Fruit Warehouse.

The structure will be 100 feet long and three stories high and cost $5000, WAND DRILL A FEATURE. Thousands Applaud the Bril- liant Maneuvers of the Marchers. SHARPSHOOTERS MATCH SKILL. An Attractive Musical Programme Presented at the Hall In the Evening. LOS ANGELES, CAL., June 23.—Not- withstanding last night’s festivities the turners were up bright and early this morning, marching down 1200 strong on the Southern Pacific depot, en route to Agricultural Park, awakening the city with the strains of lively music. The ac- commodations were ample, and while they were being hurled to their des- tination,German LosAngeles was following in streetcars, vehicles and on bicycles. At least 3000 spectators were present at all times during the day, the maximum num- ber exceeding 5000. The arrangements for the exercises were perfect, each organiza- tion having a tent for the use of its mem- bers, the whole number forming three sides of a hollow square, the inclosure being the athletic ground, with an opening fac- ing the grand stand. . To-day—class day— no time was lost in getting to work. The Vereins divided into two classes, graded according to the num- ber of members participating. San Fran- cisco, the Eintracht and Los Angeles, were designated class A, the other societies forming class B. The class A contests were highly interesting on account of the proficiency displayed and the difference between them was scarcely 13¢ points, an allowance of }£ point being made, in favor of the visiting Turners for every fifty miles traveled. It was safe to predict a victory for the San Francisco Verein, class B, the differ- ence, about three points between the ex- tremes, being between the Oakland so- ciety and the Vorwaerts of San Francisco. The wand exercises were of an espe- cially interesting character, while the high jumps called forth continued ap- plause as man after man flew over the bamboo. In the individual selections for class drills, Class A of San Francigco selected the horizontal bar, the Eintracht and Lecs Angeles preferring the horse. Thesocieties forming Class B vied with each other for credits on the parallel bars.. After the turners had been .apparently exhausted and the sun was lowering in the west came the crowning feature of the day and one that will never be forgotten by those who wit- nessed it—the wand drill by the com- bined societies under the direction of Professor Jahn, Over 150 members partic- ipated, and those experienced in such mat- ters considered it the finest ever beheld on the coast. The marching and counter- marching alone would have enthused any audience and done honor to the best- drilled soldiers. ‘While the athletic sports were in progress the sharpshooters made their presence known in another part of the field, the highest score made at the ring target being 89, and the point target 82. A very attractive programme was pre- sented at Turner Hall to-night, consisting of vocal and instrumental selections and chorus singing. The event of the evening was the singing of the aria from “Der Frieschutz’’ by Frau Schnabel, a local so- prano, who was recalled again and again by the delighted auditors. To-morrow will be devoted to indi- viaual competition, the evening’s exer- cises concluding with a dance. As near as can be predicted atthe pres- ent time the handicap bicycle races next Tuesday will be started as follows: Two-mile, class A, scratch, H. E. McCrea, H. P. Terrill; 50 yards, W. A. Taylor, D.E. Whit- man; 75 yards, R. D. Mussey, H. Squires, Charles Stimson; 100 yards, A.Griffin, T.G. Hall, George B. Cox; 150 yards, M. M. Cook, C. M. Meisterheim, W. W, Weir; 200 yards, W.

WORK AT MARE ISLAND, The Sloop-of-War Adams to Be Thoroughly Repaired for Service. Lleutenant-Commander Sturdy of the Olympla Again Accused of Brutality. VALLEJO, Car., June 23.—Constructor Baxter of Mare Island will to-morrow begin preparations for the repair of the sloop-of-war Adams, now lying in rotten Tow. Some time since the Navy Department decided to refit this ship if it could bedone inside the 20 per cent limit. This means within 20 per cent of the original cost of the vessel. This law was made several years ago as a result of indiscriminate re- pairs on ships started and carried on for the sole purpose of cramming navy yards with men for election purposes. Accordingly a board was appointed by Commandant Howison to examine and report on the condition of the Adams. This was done, her timbers bored and equipment in- spected, and the report was favorable. But little deterioration had occurred. Mr. Baxter will haul her alongside the quay near the big dock in a day or so in readiness for docking as soon as the. Hart- ford shall have come out. This will be done to get at the ship’s planking and cop- per below water-line. New decks and fore- castle will probably be laid and modern guns fitted to her before she resumes active duty. - There is considerable talk locally, which is anything but favorable to Lieutenant- Commander Sturdy, executive ' officer of the Olympia. It appears that James Wil liams, who died from the effects of an overdose of morphine while temporarily insane a few daysago, had been conductin; a bum-boating business — furnishing clothing, toilet articles, etc., to the crew ‘Reed, he being an old shipmate of Wil- on board the ships, having been recom- mended for the work by the captain, Mr. hams. Sturdy, itissaid, had a friend of his own for the job, but not liking to disoblige his captain, accepted Williams. However, he is said to have sought the first opportunity to interfere with the bum- boat man, and this occurred when the latter visited the shipa few days ago for the purpose of collecting the money due him from the men. He had given them credit, l as is the custom with a crew newly shipped, for amounts aggregating $357. The collection was in progress quietly, itis told by Walter Jacobs, Williams’ partner, | when the business was stopped by Mr. Sturdy, who peremptorily orderd Williams ‘“over the siae.” Among naval people this was equivalent to charging him with a crime, something Williams aid not propose let go undis- puted. He hesitated and asked the ex- ecutive the reason for his extraordinary action. Mr. Sturdy declined to enter into any explanation, merely saying when Williams remonstrated that it was too hard to lose $500, that “a man who would trust a bluejacket is a fool.” So the bum- boatman was obliged to go over the side a branded man, as his knowledge of the navy assured him he would be in the opinion of every man aboard the vessel. He came over to this side and narrated his treat- ment to his business associates. The mer- chants were not only surprised, but angered, because any 6f their representa- tives stood in danger of like summary action, which would be a reflection on the character of the business community. Williams is known to have brooded over the affair, and his wife says he did not tleep for several nights. This had its natural consequence, and she feels sure he became gradually unsettied in his mind and took the drug in a desperate endeavor to solace himself, fatal results following. The deceased belonged to the Workmen, Knights of Pythias and Redmen and stood very high not only in the estimation of his brother members, but in the community as a whole. The commander of the Olympia, Captain Reed. is a thorough officer, and notwith- standing his stern demeanor has a tender spot in his heart, especially toward those he served with during the war. Recently he went on board the Hartford in drydock. and while looking aboutat the repairsbeing made and work being done by ship- carpenters and calkers his eyes for a moment rested on oneof the latter men, an old man, seated on a calker’s box towing in oakum. He paused a moment, then went up to the mechanic and as he laid his hand on his shoulder remarked: ‘Creemore, don’t youknow me? Inever expected to see you on the face of the globe again zfter the day you passed over the side of the old Ironsides with your head split open with the chain shot.” Then for a few moments an affecting conversation took place between the two men, one now the commander of the finest cruiser afloat and the other eking out his daily existence in a far different manner. THE NEWS OF AN JOSE, Construction of a New Tele- phone System Soon to Be Commenced. Notre Dame’s Fine Art Exhibit. Two Hack~-Drivers Assault a Saloon-Keeper. SAN JOSE, CaL., June 23.—C. E. Sever- ence, president of the California Telephone Company, was in this city yesterday on his way to Santa Cruz. Mr. Severence says that the work of the company at Sac- ramento is progressing rapidly and the company will be equipped for business by July 15, after which the men in charge of the construction there will commence work here, providing the company obtains the franchise applied for to the Council last Monday night. The company here will connect with the Alameda, Santa Cruz and Sacramen‘o companies. The Santa Cruz company is ready for business as soon as the tele- phones arrive from the East. 5 DOTRE DAME ART EXHIBIT. Splendid Display Made by the Tabernacle and Ceramic Societies. SAN JOSE, CAL., June 23.—The Taber- nacle Society opened its art exhibit in the Notre Dame Institute yesterday afternoon. The object of the society is‘to supply needy churches with what is necessary for the celebration of divine services. There are thirty beautiful, complete sets of vest- ments exhibited, and the display reflects much credit upon the members of the so- ciety. Aside from the sets of vestments there are 453 exhibits, divided as follows: Stoles 23, ciborium covers 4, albs 17, surplices 13, corporals 45, purificators 114, amices 44, lavabos 20, palls 22, alta cloths 2, collars 112, cinctures 24. In an adjoining room the Notre Dame Ceramic Club has an exhibit of its work. The exhibits will remain onen until Tues- day evening. The Tabernacle Society has been organ- ized but two years, and, under the direc- tion of its president, Mrs. Judge O'Connor, has done a great deal of good. The Ceramic Club was oreanized but a short time ago, and the displays by its members shows much beautiful work. ASSAULTED A SALOON-KEEPER. Two Hack-Drivers Handle the Rialto’s Proprietor Roughly. SAN JOSE, CAL., June 23.—J. H. Nelson, proprietor of the Rialto saloon on the Alum Rock road, reported to the Sheriff’s office to-day that about 12 o'clock last night Sam and Frank McCarleg, back- drivers, drove up to his place and had sev- eral drinks. The men refused to settle for them, and when asked for the money turned on Nelson and gave him a severe beating. Another party who was in the saloon at the time was also roughly used. After demolishing some of the furniture the men left. Nelson will secure warrants in the morn- ing charging the men with battery and dis- turbing the peace. To Administer the Farcoe Estate. SAN JOSE, CaL., June 23.—James Harry Sr. of Almaden has filed a petition for letters of administration on the estate of James Varcoe, who died at Pacific Grove, June 8, 1895. The estate is valued at $14,000 and consists of property in Santa Clara and San Benito counties. The heirs are Louisa Varcoe, the widow of the de- ceased, and Anna Jane Tonkin, a daughter, both of whom reside at Almaden. Campbell Cycling Club Organized. SAN JOSE, CaL., June 23.—A meeting of bicyclists in the vicinity of Campbell was held last evening and a club was or- ganized under the name of the Campbell Cyeling Cluo with a membership of thirty. The following officers were elected: Presi- dent, Fay Cusi;k; secretary and treasurer, James Wells; captain, Earl Parr. BRADY 15 STILL FREE Officers Baffled in the Pursuit of Bogard’s Slayer. AIDED BY AN OLD MAN. Food Carried to the Hiding Place of the Hunted 7 Outlaw. SHOTS IN THE UNDERBRUSH It Is Feared One of the Man-Hunters Has Been Kilied by the Fugitive. REDDING, Car,, June 23.—Bandit Brady is still in hiding in the thick under- brugh that extends from Clear Creek al- most to the Happy Valley limits. It was thought yesterday that he would surely be captured to-day, but sev- eral circumstances occurred to prevent it, and as a result he is still at large, but officers who returned from the front to- night report it utterly impossible for him to escape. Hunting a bandit in under- brush is indeed slow work, but the officers, Indians and armed citizens are bravely staying with the pursuit, and several have been constantly at work since Brady’s ese cape from Bowers and Martin. That Brady is not alone, and that heis receiving help and assistance from other parties, is now a conceded fact by all the officers in the pursuing parties. Only twice since last Wednesday, when he stood off Bowers and Martin in the battle at Clear Creek, has he received any food from the farmers in the neighborhood. Water, too, is scarce in the hills where he is hiding, and it would be impossible for a man in Brady’s condition to subsist on berries and fruit alone. Not only does this indicate that there is some one keeping him supplied with pro- visions, but another and more important discovery in this regard has been made. For the past three days Sheriff Houston and one or two of the officers have been closely watching the movements of a suspicious-looking man., ~ On several occasion this mysterious person, who is quite an old man, and rides in a dogcart drawn by a black horse, has been going and coming from the neighborhood in which Brady is known to be hiding. He is not known by any of the farmers living near, and has nothing whatever to say to any of the of- ficers or pursuing parties. Twice he has been seen with provisions in his cart going into the woods and returning empty- bhanded. Where he went and where he left the provisions is now a mystery, but he 1s supposed to be a comrade of Brady, and this morning Sheriff Houston ordered his arrest, which will take place as soon as he is seen to-morrow. To-day at 2 o’clock Brady’s bed was dis- covered. He has been sleeping on several blankets and quilts on the ground in a canyon about a mile from the Johns house, where he took dinner yesterday. The bed- ding was taken by the officers. It was within a stone’s throw of the blackberry patch which the bandit issupposed to have been raiding nightly. ‘To-day, while the Sheriff and posse were searching for Brady near Johns’ place, three distinct shots were heard, two fired in rapid succession. The officers were about half a mile from the spot the shots appeared to come from, and immediately went to find the cause. No one could be seen, and no trace of any one could be found. The Sheriff is of the opinion that one of the pursuing party ran onto the bandit and was shot, but at this hour no definite information can be secured. A report reached here last night that Brady was seen near Red Buff, Friday morning, by a carpenter, to whom he told about the fight at Clear Creek. The car- penter says Brady showed him his wounds, and remarked that had it not been for a brace in his leg he would have lost it, as a bullet hit the brace. The carpenter did not tell any one about seeing the bandit until last night, when he told Sheriff Bo- gard, a brother of Brady’s victim. The story is not given much credit, for it is pratty thoroughly known that Brady has been hiding within three miles of Clear Creek ever since the shooting. To-night more men left town to help in the search. ———— Direct Siipments From Santa Barbara. SANPA BARBARA, CaL., June 23.—A large herd of beef cattle from the San Julian Rancho, fifty miles west of Santa Barbara along the coast, was driven north to Guadaloupe last week for shipment over the extension coast railroad to San Fran- cisco market. Hithesto all cattle ship- ments from this quarter passed south to Elwood, going over a circuitous route through Santa Barbara.
