EVADA CITY, April 3.—Bad man Moore, the murderer of Police- man William H. Kilroy, is still | at large, a fugitive from jus- tice with a price of $1000 upon head. Scores of armed men anx- s to earn the coveted reward and vent their anger upon the outlaw are searching the neighboring mountains. Their efforts yesterday availed them absolutely nothing. No trace of thé lone bandit was found. Not even an > rumor of Moore having been seen reached their ears, but the searchers did not despair.

While the desperado stalks abroad in the mountains there is fear in the | hearts of the lone prospectors of the | outlying districts. Occupants of min- ing cabins in the foothills now barri- | cade their doors when they lay down to | sleep at night, and a I 1 shotgun stands within reach. Moo provis | are believed to be almost exhau: | and it is certain he will make an at- tempt to replenish them at one of the | many cabins in the neighboring moun- tains. If resistance is offered others may fall victims to his unerring aim. | Every teamster who finds it necessary | to traverse the lonely mountain roads carries a shotgun, and every prospector who saunters into town from the foot- hills is armed with a weapon of some sort in anticipation of a meeting with the desperado. Moore is the one man in the county whom everybody fears. He is as quick as a flash with rifle. shotgun or revolver, can shoot with marvelous accuracy ana is of that manner of man who would have little hesitancy in shooting friend or foe from behind if he thought they stood between him and his freedom. Those who know the outlaw believe that be- fore he is captured some of his pur- suers will fall. In his dash for liberty Moore is ac- companied by at least one faithful friend, who has thus far proved a val- uable ally' to the fugitive in his flight acr the mountains. The authoritigs declare Moore's trained dog is a potent factor in his master's successful efforts in eluding pursuit. The animal is in- deed a wonderful canine. Moore is partially deaf and is compelled to carr an ear trumpet, but his disadvantage in this respect ig fully made up by the wonderful instinct. The animal r on the alert for approaching or the sound of human voices. murmur or the faintest foot- s his attention and he warn 1is master of the approaching dang by a wag of his tail 2nd a point to the £pot whence the unds issue, He never rks and should Moore happen to be cep the dog licks his face the mo- “nt he scents danger. These facts are own to the authorities, Moore has in moments when he boasted that he owned the smartest dog in the State often displayed the brute's wonderful qualities to admiring citizens. The man hunters now searching the moun- tains for the murderer are therefore al- ways on the alert, because they know Mc is informed of their presence from afar. There are many people here who be- | lieve Moore is hiding in some spot close to his cabin on Little Deer Creek, near the Charannet mine and scarcely any- body in the whole county helieves the fugitive has succeeded in getting any distance out of the mountains. All the roads and trails have been carefully | guarded since Saturday and there has been little chance for him to escape. | The fact that the fugitive carried his water bucket with him in his hurried | flight lends color to the general theory | that he has taken possession of some | rocky cavern or dry mining shaft close | to his cabin. Moore has often boasted (| that he could hide himself within a | mile of the town where it would be | impossible for anybody to find him. The killing of Kilroy undoubtedly was premeditated and it is fair to pre- | sume that Moore expected to be placed | in a position where he would be com- | pelled to elude a horde of angry and brave men anxlous to bring him to ac- | count for his misdeeds. This theory is borne out by the condition in which the officers found Moore’s cabin when they arrived there shortly after the murder was committed. Moore had been there and removed everything that would be | useful to him in his flight. It was evi- | dent the murderer had placed every- thing in readiness for a hurried depart- ure. On the floor was found a receipted bill for $20 worth of groceries which were supplied only three days before by a local grocer. None of the pro- | visions was found In the cabin.

The militiamen are anxious to get Moore in their clutches. and be- teresting little story Moore at one time was a member of Company C, and was famed the county | over for being the best rifle shot in the company. It was easy for him to carry | off all the prizes, and he speedily | gained the reputation of being the best | rifle shot in the country. His aim was €0 accurate that a suspicion that he had tamj d with his rifle crept into the minds .f his rival a trap for him. Several of the boys watched Moore carefully, and after a .prize shooting | contest one of them picked up the mur- | derer’s rifie and subjected it to a close | scrutiny.” He found that the suspicions | | of his comrades were not groundless. Moore, with his characteristic shrewd- | ness and knowledge of toois, had filed the trigger of the rifle down to such a point that it went off at the slightest | touch of the finger. This was a great aid at the prize shoots, as the rest of | the contéstants were compelled to exert | a power of seven and a half pounds on | | the triggers of their weapons to exw‘ | plode the cartridge. i For this trick Moore was immediately | discharged from the company and | blacklisted by nearly everybody in | town. The incident till fresh in the | nemories of the boys of Company C. | will not be disposed to show | the murderer anything but scant cour- | | and they set | teey should he fall into their hands. The only reliable information as to the route taken by Moore after he left his cabin is given by Frank Samdow, a prospector, who lives in a cabin at the | top of Phelps Hill. Moore’s tracks were traced in the soft mud by “Jack” Kil- roy, a brother of the murdered police- man, along the North Banner mine road as far as the abandoned black- smith shop of the mine. There the trail ended, and the murdered man’s brother | and his companion wasted several ghots at the old shop.in the hope that Moore had taken refuge therein. They were disappointed, as the fugitive had cut across the road at that point and | journeyed over the hills toward San- dow's cabin. The lone occupant was awakened in the dead of night by passing footfalls | and the barking of his deerhounds. He struck a light and looked out of the window in time to see Moore passing the house on a trail a few vards dis- | tant. Sandow is certain that it was Moore, for he has known him for the last twenty years.. From that point the man-hunters have lost all trace of the murderer, hut they hope to capture or kill him within the next twenty-four hours. The longer | Moore remains at large the greater menace he is to the lives of innocent people who may be so unfortunate as to cross his path. He certainly knows by this time that scores of brave men are on his trail, and, if captured. Judge Lynch will be his judge and jury. so the citizens here fear that Moore will not hesitate to carry out the theory of outlaws—'‘dead men tell no tales.” The posses who are hunting the murderer have been Instructed to kill him on sight. Since the murder of Policeman Kil- roy a belief exists here that Moore is | responsible for at least two other mur- ders that have taken place during the last five years. It is now suspected that Moore murdered Driver Mevers of the Bloomfield stare and Superintend- ent Gaviota of the Derbec mine. Both murders were cowardly affairs, the men being shot down without being given a fighting chance for their lives. The crimes have always remained unsolved mysteries. In both cases the murderer attempted to rob hisvictims of treasure which they were bringing from the mines, and each time he was unsuc- cessful, because the horses ran at the sound of his rifle. | PHO DD I EDEDSOIHEDEOED SISO shal Tomkin, journeyed over the ridge 1in the soft spot in the road. | day, asking permi Taunt's | searching the woods and un- | morning another | pany C of this city will go out on the | GEN.

Epecial Dispatch to The Call. ANILA, April 8, 7:55 p. m.—A reconnoissance made by cavalry under Major Rucker this after- noon developed into a sharp skirmish with 1000 insurgents intrencyed at Quingua, .ve miles to the northeest | of Malolos, the main body of the rebel army being apparently between Quin- gua and Pulilan. Other detached forces of the enemy retyeated to the eastward and entered Mateo Valley, where they were repulsed by General Hall's troops. Scouts penetrating close to Calumpit found a small group of mules sinking This led to the discovery of two breech-loading coast defense guns, buried at the cross- roads. The presence of the guns there is a mystery. The troops will make a thorough search for any additional arms that may be hidden. Major Cobbe of the Third has been appointed provost marshal. The twenty miles of country between Caloocan and Malolos is white flags displayed by hundreds of Filipinos, who are returning to their homes. The better class of Filipinos, who fled at the approach of the Ameri- can troops, are now coming back over- land or in boats to Malolos. A native priest entered the American lines to- on to return to his clerical duties. Prisoners captured by the American troops report that there is a scarcity of food among the insurgent General MacArthur estimates that 100, 000 Filipinos deserted their homes and believes their desire to return is a most | favorable indication. > The situation 'in the southern islands continues uncertain. The latest move of the natives there is to extinguish | the lights in the lighthouses. The bodies of Colonel Egbert of the | were put on hoard the transport Sher- | man to-day to be conveyed to the | United States. Major General Elwell S.

C, April 3.—According to news received by steamer Danube, which arrived this evening, -the Pacific Coast Company has lost another vessel in Alaskan waters. The latest craft to become a victim of the reefs which abound in the in- tricate northern waters is the steamer City of Topeka, Captain + Thomson, which ran on the rocks cf the south ledge in Wrangel Nar- | © rows soon after midnight on Wednesday last while bound from Seattle i 4 to Skaguay with a big crowd of goldseekers and a heavy cargo of freight | © aboard. She had just left Wrangel and was about a third of the way 4 through the intricate channel, which is seldom attempted at night, when © she struck heavily on a reef. The blow cut a big hole in her port side ¥ and water rushed into her hold. Had she not been hung up so tightly on the rocks she undoubtedly would have foundered, and according to her officers many would have found a watery grave. There was no excitement. A hasty investigation showed that the steamer was as firmly held as though moored at her wharf and the passengers went back to the beds which they had left so hurriedly when the steamer crashed on the reef. On Thursday afternoon the United States lighthouse tender Manza- nita came into the narrows and in answer to the signals of distress displayed by the wrecked liner she sent boats to her and took off the shipwrecked passengers. They were taken to Skaguay by the Manza- nita. The Topeka, when the Danube passed her, was full of water, which has totally destroyed her cargo. Her bow was hanging fast on a jagged reef and a large hole was noticeable in her port how. She will have to remain in her present position until divers can be sent up from the Sound to patch up the rents made by the reefs. An effort was made to get divers at Juneau, but none were obtainable there. Commodore Irving, of the Canadian Pacific Navigation Company, | 4 who was a passenger on the Danube, says the wreck of the Topeka was | © due to the fact that buoys and aids to navigation are missing in north- the O404Q D4O+TEOT 4040404040 + o < 5 [+ DO 4D4C+DIO+0+ 404040+ 040+ 0O +0+0+C+O+0+E CANTONESE CAPTURE AN - ENGLISHMA Most Serious Trouble for the British on the Pearl River.

Kopman. a wealthy rancher of Blanco. shot and dangerously wounded an old- time employe, Harry Aguirra, in a saloon at Riverside, a small place near this city. That these two men | were enemies has been known for some | time by the acquaintances of both, and it has often been asserted that when they met blood would flow. Kopman is an old veteran of the Civil War and | Aguirra a man with an u vory repu- tation and dangercus when angered. Both men are sure shots, and had it | not been that Aguirra was unarmed it | is likely neither man would have es- caped alive. The shooting affray of to-day brings to light a sensational case—that of a hired man winning the affections of his employer's wife after having been befriended eighteen years by his bene- factor.. It also brings to light the separation of a man and wife wealthy, highly respected and influential, and the nltimate breaking up of a charming home. For a long time has it been ru- mored that the relations of Mrs. F. Kopman and Harry Aguirra were im- proper, but not until about two years | ago were there developments of a sen- | sational nature. At that time facts were made public which were after- ward hushed. Kopman is said to have signed a note for $250, and the charge that he threatened the life of Harry Aguirra was not prosecuted. This came to light when Attorney W. A. Kearney sued Kopman for the recovery of the note. Kopman brought a counter suit for blackmail against Kearney, to whom the note was made payable, and testimony was introduced in an at- tempt to prove that Kopman had en- tered into an agreement with Ed Rice, a man of unsavory reputation, to dis- pose of Aguirra. It was asserted that Kopman offered to pay $1000 if his enemy were killed; that the man who was to have done the job asked $5000, perilous condition, its army defeated, dis- couraged and scattered.
