4 AMBUSH BY BANDITS An A.rizona Posse Stumbles Into an Outlaw Trap. LINE RIDER ROBSON IS SLAIN. Nogales Bank-Raiders Repulse Sheriff Leatherwood’s Party. BLOODY BATTLE IN SKELETON CANYON, The Man.Hunters in Full Retreat, Bearing Their Dead With Them. TUOSON, Anmiz.,, Aug. 13.—A dispatch from Benson reports that the bandits who last week raided the International Bank at Nogales ambushed Sheriff Leatherwood and posse near the New Mexico line. Frank Robson, United States line-rider, who was one of the posse, was killed. The bandits having gained accessions to their ranks now outnumber the officers, who are now returning, bringing the body of Robson with them. The posse had been pressing the out- laws closely since yesterday mornming. Toward dusk this evening the fugitives, relying on their re-enforcements and cer- tain of being overtaken, set a trap into which the pursuers fell. Leatherwood’s party was ambushed in Skeleton Canyon, below Bisbee, Ariz. Though surprised they put up the strongest resistance possible, and all es- caped except Robson, who fell at the first discharge. Several others of the posse were wounded, but how badly has not yet been learned, nor has the loss to the robbers, if any, been reported. Robson hailed from Mesa, Ariz., and was known as one of the bravest men in Arizona. Sam King 1s among the wounded men. ‘T'he posse ambushed to-day was the one which captured “Little Bob,” one of the bank raiders, near Bisbee, last week. The balance of the outlaw band, having pro- cured fresh horses and driven back its pursuers, is not likely to be captured. PRINTERS AT FRESNO. Delegates to the State Typographical Union Convention Begin Their Session. FRESNO, CaL., Aug. 13.—The sixth an- nual convention of the California State Ty pographical Union was called to order at 10 o'clock this morning in De Witt Hall by President Joseph Phillis of Los Angeles. The following delegates were entitled to seats in the convention: C. E. Backess, R. J. Devine, J. J. Livingston, San Francisco; A.J. Read, C. D. Rogers, Qakland; Joseph Phillis, Los Angeles; A. D. Marshall, T. G. Manning, Fresno; E. R. Woodman, J. L. Robinette, Sacra- mento; Charles H. Prisk, A. B. Champion, Grass Valley. s report to the union the president stated that its work durinfi the year has been in a quiescent state. Because of the large percentage of members displaced by the introduction of machinery it woul not have been wise to carry on active mis- ionary work. “Itis to be hoped,” he said, “‘that the conditions in the future will be more favor- able for the prosecution of the work for which the union was established.” Continuing, he said that the condition of the craft at the present time was very grave and that' many printers wounld have to seek other vocations, but, for obvious reasons, a large number of them would Temain upon the union’s rolls, dependent upon the casual employment they se- cured. The president urged that the in- ternationsl union take steps to establish an out of work fund and in other ways give relief to these printers. “Our numbers are small,” said Mr. Phillis, “but this need not cause us any | discouragement. What we lack in num- bers we can make up in earnestness.” The treasurer read an encouraging re- port. He briefly discussed the subject of typesetting machines, and recommended that the State Union appeal to the mann- facturers of the machines for the loan of one of them for the training of members of the craft in the use of them. The convention will adjourn to-morrow, and in the evening a banquet will be given at the Pleasanton Hotel. e POINT LOMA MEA SERPENT, Reputable Citisens Claim They Saw a Marine Monster. SAN DIEGO, Can, Aug. 13.—Some- where about four miles off Point Loma, at the edge of the keip beds, there is a gen- uine sea serpent. Captain Paulsen of the | launch Urania and a party in his boat | saw it this morning while returning from | satrip to La Jolla. Captain Paulsen first noticed it, and called the attention of those in the launch joit. All had a good | clsss tpon Miss Clara Barton, president of the | look at the serpent, and there is no doubt | 33 to the verscity of the party. | “it was sbout twelve feet long,” samd Captain Paulsen, “and it tapered from its head to its tail, being about twelve inches in umference atthe head and two at It had a large, round head, with | b nt black eyesand a big mouth.

SACRAMENTO, Can, Aug.13.—Inac-| cordance with the direction of State Con- | wroller Colgan, suit bas begun by mc! | Attorney-General sgainst the Nationgl Bank of D. 0. Mills & Co. in this eity for the sum of $16,985 75, being the amountof | taxes and penalties slleged to be due for | the year 1886 The property of the bank | was mn that year for the sam of | $14.185, able before the first in November, 1855. As thi: sum bas not been paid it bas in consequence become { i delinquent, and the penalties required by law were added. The result of this suit will decide whether or not a National bank can be assessed as other property. The complaint was filed in the County Clerk’s office this afternoon by Deputy Attorney-General C, N. Post. S WHALES OFF LA JOLLA. San Diego Bunters Preparing to Attack a School. SAN DIEGO, CArL., Aug. 18.—@G. B. Grow of this city is preparing to attack a big whale, one of a school that has loafed about off La Jolla for ten days past. This particular whale comes in nearer to shore than the others and seems to sleep for hours on the surface of the water. There is one farther out that spouts almost con- tinuously, doing but little else, and he has been named ‘“‘Billy Bryan'' by the camp- ers. Commodore Grow and a party of ad- venturers went out among the school sev- eral days ago to get a closer view. The monsters dashed around the boat and one came up from the depths and almost over- turned the little craft. A big bharpoon has been secured, but the thrower will have to get within fifty feet of the whale to make the throw count and no one can be found who will take chances, It is prob- able that a dynamite bomb will be ob- tained with which to attack the sleeping whale, There are about twenty whales in the school and all are good sized, the largest being about 100 feet. e S SAN BERNARDINO ASSESSMENT. Stockholders of the Defunot First Na- tional Bank Drawn Upon. SAN BERNARDINO, Can., Aug. 13.— The Comptroller of Currency has made an assessment of $45,000 on the stockholders of the defunct First National Bank of this city. This is $45 on each share of the capital stock. The bank suspended on November 10, 1894, and the receiver has since paid 40 per cent of the amount due the depositors. It is believed a 5 per cent assessment will not yield more than Thereceiver's notice of assessment states that five assessments are due and payable September 5 next, but that he is author- ized to grant an extension, without in- terest, to shareholders who pay 50 per cent of the assessment on or before that date and will give a satisfactory obligation to pay the remainder on or before November SHOUORMILLS LYCHERS Angry Loggers Determined to Avenge the Murder of Totton. Refuse to Return to Work Until They Have Exscuted Cass Colvin. FRESNO, CaL., Aug. 13.—The moun- tains around Sequoia mills, sixty miles east of this city, are being scoured over by 100 men, whose avowed purpose is to catch Cass Colvin and lynch him for the cowardly and brotal murder of his brother-in-law, Robert L. Totton, on Tues- day evening. As far as can be learned to- night no trace of the fugitive has been found. There are two officers in the mountains—Deputy Sheriff Timmins of this city and Constable Ingels of Sanger. They are searching for Colvin indepen- dently of the other hunters, who are all connected with the logging camps above the mill. The two officers hope to catch the murderer and hurry him into the valley before the logging-men leara of the capture. Colvin committed the atrocious murder about 7 o'clock in the evening and imme- diately took to the woods. The crime raised feeling in the logging camptoa high pitch and every man armed himself and went in pursuit of the cutthroat. Darkness soon came on and they had to return to camp. The next morning they set out again and hunted all day. They bave been searching all day to-day. The milts have been shut down for the past few days, as the loggers have refused to work and supply the logs for the saws. | The foreman of the loggers says not an- other tree shall be cutas lonz as Colvin remains in the mountains. The loggers will devote their time to looking for him, with ropes ready to string him to the nearest tree. Totton, the murdered man, was very popular in the camp, and every man has sworn that he will avenge his cruel death. If the loggers become sat- isfied that Colvin has made his way to the valley they will return to work, but not until then will they do so, unless they catch the fugitive. Constable Ingels telephoned down from the mills this evening that no trace of Col- vin could be found, but that the infariated loggers were working as determinedly as ever. e The Moss Beach Wreck. MONTEREY, Carn, Aug. 13.—The steamer St. Paul, that ran upon the rocks at Moss Beach last Satarday night, now presents a dreary appearance, being aban- doned by man and taken possession of by flocks of sea birds that abound along this coast. Yesterday the last of the undam- aged cargo was taken from the hold, the rest being thrown into the sea, spars and rigging cut away and everything of any value removed irom the shattered hull. A strong wind is blowing from the south, and it is believed the St. Paul will go to pieces before morning. —_———— SPARKS FRUM THE WIRE. Colonel Willlam R.

SILVER FORCES AT ELLENSBURG, Conferees Are Unable to Agree Upon a Plan of Fusion. DEMANDS OF POPULISTS Ask for the Better Share of the Offices That Are to Be Filled. THEY ADOPT A PLATFORM. A Score of Reforms Which the Party Will Undertake to Bring Abcut. ELLENSBURG, WasH., Aug. 13.—Fu- sion of the Populists, Democrats and Fre» Silver Republjcans of Washington is still in doubt. Conference committees of the three parties were in session all day and far into the night, without arriving at an agreement. To-morrow it will be known whether or not the silver forces of Wash- ington will ¢ ombine. The conference committees were in ses- sion all day. There were twelve State offices to be divided and four Presidental electors to be chosen. Owing to the pecu- liar construction of the State law, there can be but one set of electors voted for by the fusionists, as no name can appear twice on an official ballot. While the conference bodies, as a com- mittee of the whole, passed a resolution strictly forbidding members giving out news or information relative to their do- ings, yet much is known as to what trans- pired at to-day's sessions. The Democrats asked the Governorship and in return were willing to concede to the Populists balf of the electoral ticket, two Congress- men and five other offices, leaving about four subordinate offices to the free-silver Republicans. 'he Populists demanded the guberna- torial berth, all the electoral ticket and both Congressman, and were willing that the other two parties divide the remaiving nine State officers as best suited them- selves. This proposition was coupled with a well-defined intimation that they would accept the Governorship, half the electoral ticket, one Congressmsn and one or two subordinate offices. The free-silver Re- publicans will, it is estimated, poll more than hall as many votes in the State as the Democrats, and they modestly re- 3uastsd one Congressman, the Lieutenant overnor and the privilege of voting for any electoral ticket named. In convention to-day neither Democrats nor free - silver Republicans did much aside from speech making, but the Popu- lists, around which body the greatest interest centers, got down to business and adopted a platfotm. This, after assertin, allegiance to the Omaha and Bt. Louis | Populist platform and being relieved of i H | | | verbiage, reads as follows: We demand that the peopl direct vote on all important legislation; that all officers elected shall be subject at any time to recall or dismissal; that the excessive sal- aries on all executive, legisi e and judicial offices be reduced, and freight, passenger, tele- };honc and telegraphic rates within the State essened, the Torrems system oOf registerin; land titles adopted; that a general system of non-interest-bearing warrants receivable for taxes throngnout the State be adopted; that schoolbooks shall be furnished to pupilsin our public schools at the expense of the State; that in case of sale of property under fore- closure decrees the debtor shall retain shall be given a sion of the property throughout the redemp- tion riod, and the period of redemption shall be two years instead of one; that a lib- eral exemption from taxation of perso: g:openy and improvements in or upon land made; that the next Legislature take le{ll steps to submii to the electors of this State, to be reguiar election, an amendment to the State constitution conferring the elective franchise upon women citizens of this State; that the ature lawa making it felony for any city, county or State officer to accept or use a rallroad or other iransportation gn, and that the law shall be applicable to those who give such passes; and we condemn all persons who are State, county or city officers ‘who may have accepted and used suca Eum s betraying the trust reposed in them by the party and as violatiog their duties as citizens; voted upon at the next ‘we condemn the presentchief executive of this State for his illy considered and unjust vetoes of the deficiency judgment bill and the free textbook bill, aiter having recommended the former in his message. That clause in the platform reiating to liberal exemption from taxation of {m- provements on land provoked a spirited debate, many farmers contending that it was too long a step in the direction of single tax. St ignii SQUIRE’S CHANGE OF FRONT, Aerobatic Reversal of His Virws as Em- pressed Several Months ago. ELLENSBURG, Wasxg,, Aug. 13.—Apro- pos of the bolt of Senator Squire, and his joining the forces of Bryan and free silver, the Ellensburg Capital tkis morning pub- lished a letter written from Washington city by the Senator, under date of April 7, 1896, to Isaac Moore of this city, saying in part: I have never voted to set aside or delay tarif Jegislation in the interest of any free-silver measure.

SALT LAKE, Urar, Aug. 13.—The in- ternational convention of the Fire En- gineers closed its three days’ session yes- terday afternoon. The early portion of the day was taken up with receiving and approving ccmmittee reports. The elec- tion of officers for the onuuinfi)!fllf Tee sulted in the choice of James Devine of Salt Lake, president; D. C. Larkin of Day- ton, Ohio, treasurer; H. A. Hills of Wyom- ing, secretary, and thirty-four vice-presi- dents from various State: After a lively contest, in which Omaha, Pittsburg, Baltimore and New Haven, Conn., were the most lively competitors, it was resolved to hold the nextconven- tion in 1897 at New Haven. Votes of thanks to Salt Lake City for the hospitality extended in various ways were passed, and the convention adjourned sine die. The visitors then went off to Garfield Beach, on the shores of the great Balt Lake, where they were tendered a re- ception and ball, and to-day they went to the great mining camp of Park City, which ends the programme. — OCCIDENTAL QUICKSILVER. Large Cinnabar Ledge Struck im bink- ing o L. OUCIDENTAL, Car., Aug. 13.—James Bryan has just discovered a rich lead of cinnabar in a peculiar way. Bryan had made up hiy mind to sink a well upon his place. Thid is not the first time he has delved into the earth for water, but here- tofore his wells have been the plain, old- fashioned round holes in the ground, without attempt at ornamentation. This time, by some strange method of reason- mfi Bryan determined to dig a square well for luck. He had prot ed but a few feet when his pick struckinto a cin- nabar lead ten yards wide, the hdzefiust croz?inz out at the corner of the well. Had he dug a round well in the same spot the auichuver ore would have remained un- iscovered for a time at least. The lead dips into a big pile of rocks, and shows both red and gray ore. The find is located within 400 yards of the rail- road track, and has been the means of starting a mining boom of large propor- tions in that locality. ST BARBAR MISHHPS One Aged Man Killed and Four Persons Injured in a Day’s Disasters. Walter Nichols Loses His Life, and Ross Drake and Miss Kelly May Die. SANTA BARBARA, CaL., Aug. 18— This has been a day of tragedy in Santa Barbara. Early this morning Walter Nichels, an old resident of the valley, was descending the Bell grade, a steep hillside on the line of the Coast road, some fifieen miles from kere and a short distance from Naples, bringing a load of wood to town, when the brake rod slipped out. The off- wheeler’s foot caught in the wheel, tear- ing the hoof completely off, and the four horses dashea down the steep grade. At the foot the road turns sharply over a bridge spanning Bell Creek. The horses made the turn successfully, but the heavy wagon went over the bridge to the bed -of the stream, twenty-five feet below, pulling the horses backward with it. Nichols was crushed beneath the wagon, having both armis and legs broken, one of his legs being fractured in two places. In ad- dition to these injuries his skull was frac- tured by the kicks of one of the dying horses. 3 A doctor was summoned from town and an improvised ambulance rigged out of alarge farm wagon in which to convey bhim to the Cottage Hospital, but he died on the ‘u{. Byron Flint, a young man residing on the Mesa in Santa Barbara, and Ross Drake, a boy of 14, both of whom had been camping on the foothills, were on the wagon with Mr. Nichols at the time of the accident. Flint contrived to jump off. His back was badly sprained, but he is able to limp about, and apparently has sustained no critical injuries. Young Drake, a delicate lad, who has been quite an invalid for a few years past, did not fare so well, sustaining’a nulfi wound and severe injury to his skull. He has been delirious much of the time since the acci- dent, and there is fear that he has either sustained a fracture of the skull or is suf- fering from concussion of the brain. 5 At noon to-day the Misses Kelly, who | reside with their mother on Micheltorena street, near Anacapa, were driving alon, lower State street, when their horse’ tool frizht ana ran into a Chinese vegetable | peddler's cart, smashing both vehicles and throwing the young ladies to the pavement. e younger sister struck on her head, but received no serious injury. The other young lady was flung violeatiy agamnst a hitching-post, breaking one rib and causing other dangerous injuries in the vicinity of stomach and abdomen. It is believed she cannot recover. Mrs. Kelly, the motner, is an invalid, and it is feared that the shock may be serious in its effects upon her. The Kellys are Minne- | apolis people, summering here. Mr. Kelly 7i prominent business man in Minne- apolis. MONTPELIER BANK RAID Masked Men Secure $10,000 and Escape Toward Jackson Hole.

Main Streets of the City Will Be Hidden Beneath Mazes of Decorations. ACCOMMODATIONS FOR ALL Native Sons Will Make Sure That the Visitors Are Well Pro- vided For. STOCKTON, OAL., Aug. 13.—The gen- eral committee having charge of the work of preparing for the Admission-day cele- bration met to-night in an enthusiastic conference. Matters are now taking shape 80 that the various committees can decide what they intend to do with the money allotted to them. The committee on publicity and promo- tion reported that it had been successful in securing reduced rates from the rail- road and steamboat companies. 1t was asked to arrange with the transportation companies so that the tickets would be good for ten days, running for that length of time from the Sunday before the cele- bration. Tiis the committes will do, as the railroad and steamboat companies have signified their willingness to help the celebration along in every way in their power. Henry Adams, suverintendent of the gas and electric company here and an active worker on the committee, returned from Ban Francisco by the night train, and reported that he had been very kindly received by Charles M. Shortridge of THE Oaxry, and that he was much pleased with the assurances of assistance on the part of the owner of that paper in making the affair a success. \ It was decided to take special pains to provide good quarters for newspaper corre- spondents, and Henry Adams was ap- pointed chairman of the press committee. The press headquarters will be in the rooms of the Commercial Association in the Yosemite Theater building, and the desks of the Parker-Doan Stenographic Institute in the rooms that open on these will be placed at the disposal of the newspaper men. Special wires will be run into the press headquarters, and every facility given correspondents for getting off their accounts of the celebration. The report of the decorating committee was listened to with much interest. Chairman Neumiller said that he had closed a_contract with a San Francisco firm to decorate the courthouse and the streets. Every 100 feet aiong the principal 3horon§:flnru lines of incandescent lights would be placed across the street. 1t has been decided to increage the number of electric lights on th&)*:thonn, and the number may reach I fore the work of decorating the big granite structure is fin- ished. . The electric lighting will be done by the local gas and electric company, Besides the lights on the Courthouse the commit- tee reported that 100 more large arc lights would be placed on the streets where there is the most travel. Streamers will be sus- pended across Main street, irom the rail- way depot to El Dorado street, a distance of about ten blocks, and along the last- named street three blocks to the north. At the head of the channel three large arc lights will be placed and a huge banner bearing the inseription ‘‘Welcome, Na- tives.’” A similar banner will be placed at the railway station. All the telegraph and trolley poles will be hung with stream- ers. The incandescent lights across the street will be in the carnival colors—red and white, blue and gold. From the tralley poles strings of seventy-five ban- ners each will be suspend ed on Main street and on San Joaquin street as far south as the pavilion, On the electric light poles extensions will be placed and lines of streamers will be suspended above the lights. Five hundred American and bear fluss will be supplied by the decorators, and the committee will supply the rest. Thousands of Japanese lanterns will be used on the Courthonse and streets. The regortl received from interior par- lors indicate that tkey will send larger delegations than have gone to any of the former annual gatherings of the Native Sons. Amador County alone will send 100 representatives, besides hundreds of those who are not members of the order. This is but an example of the enthusiasm manifest in all of the interior counties over the coming celebration. The locai committees fear that they will have to en- large in order to care for all the trainloads of visitors who will reach here during the three days' festivities next month. To-day the reception committee began the work of decorating the headquarters, on the third floor of the courthouse. Hun- dreds of yards of bunting were festooned about the rooms, with charming effect. All this work is being done by the Native Daughters, assisted by some of the male members of the parlors of this county. Red and white, blue and gold will pre- dominate in all the h\mung and lantern displays, The frelt arch that is to be placed mcross the plaza is being rapidly placed in position. The pedestal for the immense statue of California is now com- pleted und will go in the center of the big affair. To the left from the main street entrance under the arch will de a gigantic shell, in which a bandstand will be placed. The men who are constructing the floats are hard at work, and will soon have them completed. The committees will to-morrow begin a canvass ot the ciiy for more money, as it is desired to increase the fund of the car nival committee, 30 that the display on the water will be something hever before seen in Oalifornia.

BOS ANGELES CONVENTION. Members of the Afro-American League in Execiting Debate. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Aug. 13.—The contention of yesterday in the Afro-Amer- ican convention was renewed this morn- ing. Among the many resolutions adopted this morning was one for the appointment of a committee on purchasing land, a sec- ond favoring the gold standard, and an- other favoring the eleventh amendment and the appointment of a committee on commercial enterprise. N The report of Collins. chairman of the committee on the president’s address, was the signal for a scene of wild excitement. This was caused by a clause in the presi- dent’s address on ‘‘the attitude of trades and labor unions toward the colored race, as they refuse to receive them into mem- bership into their skilled trades and will not work with them because they are not members.”” It was moved the address be accepted with this clause omitted. The conyention was divided on the question. Mr. Henderson showed vividly the race prejudice, the ad- versity of the pastand the struggles of the present. Other speeches followed in quick succession and the speakers finally lost all control of themselves. The president was unable to preserve order, the sergeant-at- arms proved ineffectual and the din was too great for any one to known what was taking place. The women finally appealed for order, and the president with great effort secured it, when the report omitting the clause re- lating to labor unions was passed amid deafening cheers and wild hurrahs. st e m gl Death at Nevada City.

REDDING, CArL., Aug. 13.—City Clerk John C. Russell commitred suicide at 10 o’clock this morning, but the fact was not known until 5:30 o’clock this evening, when his body was discovered by Carl R. Briggs. Briggs conducts an abstract office in the building occupied by Russell, who had an insurance and real estate office. Noticing Russell’s absence from his duties during the day he decided to stop on his way home, fearing that “Johnny,” as he was familiarly called, was sick. On re- ceiving no response to his knock at the door Briggs walked in and the first sight that met his gaze was the body of his un- fortunate friena Jying stiff in death en the bedroom floor, the door from the office being ajar. Everything points to deliberate premed- itation on the part of the deceased. His collar, cuffs and shoes nad been taken off. A quilt was folded up and laid on the floor. Upon this he had laid his head and then shotshimself behind the right ear. Death was instantaneous, the apvearance of the body when feund showing no evi- dence of a struggle. Upon & dresser were two letters, one ad- dressed to his wife and the other to Carl Briggs, who discovered the body. Theone to his wife has not been opened, and Briggs positively refuses to give the con- tents of his for publication. Russell was well liked, having been twice QIected City Clerk. He was 29 years of age, a mewber of a Santa Cruz parlor of Native Sons and of the Good Templars’ lodge in this ¢ G ARRESTED AT PORTLAND. Lumber Merchant Lyles of San Fran- eisco Charged With Libel.

On the 27th of June, two days before Do- lan’s case should have gone to trial, there | appeared an article in the San Francisco | Chronicle reflecting upon Dolan’s general character. In that he was accused of be- ing a bunko sharp and charged with having fleeced Lyles, L. C. Taylor of Los Angeles and a score of other men out of large sums of money. The article sets forth that Dolan accomplished this by | representing bimself as a cousin of W. F. | Harrity, through whose influence he coum:d ‘obtain Federal patronage, but he failed to secure any for his alleged vic- tms. Dolan at that time denounced the arti- parade was intended as an emphatic pro- test against the Council’s restriction.

PORT TOWNSEND, Wasn., Aug. 18.— As a result of brooding over business troubles, Daniel Pullen, one of the wealthiest and best-known settlers of this section, has becomse insane and left his home at La Push.
