S THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, AUGUST 20, 1896. - . —_— N e e INTRENCHED IN FRESNO FOOTHILLS. Safely Sheltered Outlaws Defy Officers of the Law. ARE LIVING LIKE LORDS Have a Herd of Forty Stolen Cattle and a Well-Stocked Cabin. INDIAN JIM HASLIP'S STORY. Dime-Novel-Like Tale of a Dead-Shot Mexican Murderer and His Followers. FRESNO, CaL., Aug. 19.—Jim Haslip, the Indian murderer who was captured in the foothills last Saturday by Depury Sheriff Beasore of Madera County, is en- joying himself at his quarters in the county jail in this city. 3 Haslip was convicted of murdering an Italian near Raymond over two years ago. While awaiting sentence he escaped with Jim Lawson from the frail Madera jail. The murderer says that he did not want to escape, but Lawson compelled him by threats of death to leave. He is confined in the jail of this county for safe keeping. He denies that he murdered the Italian he is accused of siaying. The principal evi- dence against him was the fact that he was found with the murdered man’s rifle, watch and knife in his possession. He ex- plains this by saying that he found them on a trail in the mountains. The Indian is about 20 years of age and is a very cunningindividual. He does not possess the reputation of George Washing- ton for veracity and is now telling stories about all the mountain criminals who are at Jarge to help himseif in his own case. He has what he terms a “kick coming’’ against Hi Rapelje and Constable Irvine of Sanger. The officers came upon him at a rancheria in the mountains and he barely "managed to escape by quickly mounting a horse and riding into the brush. They shot at him and he thinks they had no right to do so. Jim is of the opinion that the law required. the officers 40 call to him to stop before shooting. Haslip tells an interesting story regard- ing the Regan gang of outiaws, and seems to be desirous of helping Sheriff Westfall to round them up. He is giving the officer information concerning them and the place where they ars located. Westfall believes the Indian is telling the truth in this case, as he has other information which corrob- orates his tale. He says the outlaws have a fortified camp on the San Joaquin, near Stephenson Mountain, and that there are five of them in the gang—Cliff and Tom Regan, Valentine Diaz and an Indian and a white man, whose names the prisoner does not know. The unknown white man, Jim says, has a bushy beard which nearly. hides his face. Haslip says that he has been at the home of the outlaws and that they have a commodious cabin which is fitted up with many comforts. The house- hola enjoys it, he says, as it is both home- like and secure. The cabin stands in the midst of a num- ber of bowlderg, and the only approach is by a narrow trail, about the entrance to which rocks have been piled, with several portholes left open. From behind these rocks they have full command of the trail. Near the camp the trail becomes so narrow that only one man at a time can walk in it. The outlaws have taken these precgutions to be ready to resist any at- tack of the officers, and they feel very secure in the place, being confident that they can kill off as many officers as the trail can hold. The five men are expert rifle and pistol shots, and are determined never to submit to arrest. Haslip visited the rendezvous a few weeks ago. Every time its occupants have seen him they have inquired if any officers were in the mountains looking for them. When the Indian saw them last they had near the camp a drove of forty head of cattle, which they had stolen. The outlaws are keeping up a continual thieving business, by means of which they are living. Haslip appears to have the profoundest respect for Valentine Diaz, who is wanted for murder in one of the coast counties. He says that the Indiansin the mountains are all afraid of the Mexican, who is the best pistol shot_they have ever heard of. Diaz can twirl a pistol on bis finger ana fire it in rapid succession and hit a 50-cent piece every time at a distance of 100 yards. He is old and gray haired, but a ‘*bad”’ man, Haslip says. The Mexican does not pay much attention to the Indians, but he has a grudge against every white man who ap- pears in his untraveled haunts. He is afraid that white men will inform the offi- cers regarding him. The Indian says that Diaz told him that he killed a mpn in the Coast Rapge Mountains because his victim had refused to eat breaktast with him. Haslip expressed the opinion to a Carn correspondent to-day that the officers will eventually catch “Tom, Cliff, Valentine and the other two men,” as he familiarly spoke of them. He was equally confident that the outlaws would fight to the end before they would give up. They once in a while make trips to the valley, and the Indian thought they might be captured on one of these excursions. They generally go to Firebaugh, that being a compara- tively safe town. They do all their trav- eling on these trips by night, and always go armed, each man carrying a rifle, six- shooter and knife. Sheriff Westfall will in the near future make a trip to the mountains in quest of this gang of outiaws, who have been ter- rorizing this county particularly for the past two or three years. AN INSANE FIREBUG. Burned a Barn Because He Toved Its Owner. BACRAMENTO, Car., Aug. 19.—James B. O'Rilev was piaced in the care of Sheriff Johnson to-day on a charge of arson, in having set fire to a large barn on the Dixon ranch, near Elk Grove, last Bunday night. The man, who is evidently demented, was a discharged employe and is claimed to have made the following confession : S “I love Annie Dixon' who owns the property. T have worked for her for two years and a half and prior to her mother’s death a year ago she gave me reason to believe that she cared for me. After her mother died and she feil heir to the property she avoided me and would have | aothing to do with me. Abouttwomonths | ago she paid me off and said she did not want me any more, but I hung around. A few days ago she got her brother to repair the old barn and I heard her say that she wished the old barn would burn down as she would rather have the insurance money than to spend any more in repair- ing it. Sunday morning I saw her at church and 1 slipped a note to her asking her to meet me, but she paid no attention to it. That night I burned the barn. Maybe it was because she wanted it burned. Idon’t know, butI do know that Ilove her and maybe that was the reason. Iam guilty and I suppose I must take the consequences.”’ Shortly after the fire O'Riley was sus- pected and a thorough search of the neighborhood resunlted in his capturein the loft of a barn about a quarterof a mile from the Dixon place. S e R A SACRAMENTO TOUGH. Was a Bad Man, but Knew When He Had Enough. SACRAMENTO, CaL, Aug. 19.—Wil- liam Otto, alias “‘Three-fingered Jack,” a would-be desperado of this city, while en- joying a general good time at an early hour this morning was overhauled by Captain of Police Robert Ash and Police- man Douglas. . Ash laid his hand on Otto’s shoulder and informed him that he was under ar- rest. Otto immediately drew a large 45- caliber Colts navy revolver and struck the captain on the head, smashing his hel- met. The captain closed with Otto. Douglas in attempting to disarm him re- ceived a blow over the eye from the wea- pon. Douglas immediately drew his club and belabored the fighter’s head. 'This he did so effectively that in the space of a few minutes all his would-be badness dis- appeared and he surrendered his gun and begged for mercy. After the City Physi- cian got through with him he was locked up on two charges—disturbing the peace and assault with a deadly weapon. ) SHNTA CLARA ILLED William D.

POLITICS ON THE -~ PACIFIC COAST. Paiacitlic Baddivck it Tos Angeles Still Un- broken. RESULTED IN A FIGHT. An Adherent of Patton and One of Rose’s Men Come to Blows. BALANCE OF PJWER IN IDAHO. New Clubs Are Being Forme:d Daiiy in the Different Tcwns on the Coast. LOS ANGELES, CaL., Aug.” 19.—Three more sessions of the Democratic Congres- sional Convention were held to-day, end- | ing at9. The one hundred and twenty- fourth ballot has been cast and no choice has yet been made, the vote remaining the same as yesterday and Monday, 36 to 36. The situation was enlivened this after- noon by a proposition from the Rose men, headed by John W. Mitchell, who made a neat speech in behalf of *‘ending this boy’s play and getting together like men and selecting a candidate who can defeat Mc- Lachlan.”” Mitchell was applauded vaocif- erously by the lobby and gatleries, but the Patton delegates, led by Senator White, declined the proferred olive branch and balloting was resumed. After the close of the evening session a fight took place in the hall between W, R. Burke, a Patton delegate, and Council- man Tom Savage ot the Rose contingent. Savage, it seems, was casting the vote for a neighboring county on a call of the roll on a motion to take a recess until I0 A. »r. to-morrow. The lie was passed over this matter, when Burke let go his right into Savage's face. This precipitated a tre- mendous uproar and a free fight seemed imminent. Senator White mounted a chair and yelled for order, saying: “This is outrageous and shamefully disgraceful. If you want to fight leave the hall, every one of you.” Order was finally restored and the delegates left. This incident has renewed the most intense feeling between the factions and more serious trouble would not surprise those miostfamiliar with this unprecedented contest. Mrs. L. G. Riddell, the organizer, who was sent here from San Francisco, reports that Los Angeles County is by far the best organized county in the State. Miss Lucy E. Authony, niece of Miss Susan B. An- thony, has just arrived from Santa Bar- bara, where she has been resting for the last two weeks. Bhe says the prospect looks very promising for the workers in the different precincts, and they are all encouraged by the manner in which they are received when soliciting votes. Publie opinion has changed in this respect even during the last year. Women ure con- verting many of their male relations, and in fact all intelligent men seem at last to view the question with unprejudiced eyes. e e COURTING IDAHO POPULISTS. Both Republicans and Demoorats Seek- ing Fusion. SALT LAKE, Utan, Aug. 19.—A special to the Herald from Boise, Idaho, says: The silyer Republicans to-day left the Democrats and devoted their entire atten- tion to the Populists. They are endeavor- ing by this means to prevent fusion of the Democrats and Populists, hoping to then be able to make terms with one or both of those parties. In the Populist conven- tion to-day an effort was made to secure a place in the order of business for the nomination of United States Senator, but it was defeated. This move was concerted by the silver Republicans and middle-of-the-road Pop- ulists, who believed the nomination of United States Senator precludes the possi- bility of fusion with Democrats. The Populists to-day named Hon. J. W. Ballantine of Belvue permanent chair- man. The committee on resolutions unanimously agreed to report a strong woman suffrage plank.

The highbinders, as usual, are the cause of it. This time, however, Lee | Shung, the Sacramento-street merchant, is in no danger. Ata meeting of the high- | binders beld last week it was decided that as he had not been proved to have taken an active part in supporting the Lee fam- ily in their recent trouble with the Kwong Chow society, the ban of Lee Yip Duck should be removed and $400 be a clear loss so far as the hatchetmen are concerned. Sergeant Price quit his raids on the *‘bad men’’ of the Chinese quarter some time ago, and now the almond-eyed gen- tlemen have concluded that they will cease their idleness and make things merry again. For the last two nights the Chinese po- liceman who patrols in the region of 8tockton and - Sacramento streets has been in close touch with his blue-coated brethren, simply because he had received a up that there was to be another out- break of shooting and carnage. The men marked for the buliet or steel are Lee Mee Toy, Joe Gar and any other member of the Lee family known to affiliate closely with them, One of the queerest acts of a Chinese yet recorded has occurred sirce the assas- sination of Lee Ti. It is the custom of the Chinese when one of their number dies in a foreign land either to embalm his body and ship it back to be interred in Chinese soil or to bury him and after a while to bring the bones forth from their sepulcher and in time send them to China to be again buried. In thecase of Lee Ti thisduty devolved upon the Kwong Chow Company, as Ti was a member of that organzation, but the Chinese state that Lee Yip Duck, the treasurer, has flatly refused to vield up any money for that customary proceed- | | from the Hudson Medical Institute. mng. Thisis aceepted by his countrymen as proof positive that hie was at least one of the agents in the man’s death. Asitis contributions will be made and the Chi- nese sent home in accordance with the time-honored custom. Sergeant Anderson, when asked if the Chiuese feared that the highbinders in= tended again to renew tuneir work of | slaughter, professed entire ignorance. 19.—A tele-| gram was received by the Union late last | night from Chicago that the Toyo Kisen | “‘Everything is quiet in Chinatown,” he answerebd, “Enfll' ifh(h(-re is any danger of an_ outbreak av M 1! e heard absolutely The proscribed Chinese, howerver, have again shut themselves up in their homes at night and will venture forth only in the daytime. 3 One of the most intellizent Chinese in th:s City said yesterday that he had been warned by a friendly member of t e Bo | Ling Hong that it is only a question of a few days till an attempt will be made to win some of the blood-money offered for the murder of some member of the Lee family. —————— SHOT A YOUNG BOY, Policeman Mulcahey Takes a Drastic Method to Cateh a Lad.
