The rancher believes the man he provisioned was Moore. He had studied the portrait of the fugitive which was reproduced in The Call and recognized a striking likeness. At the outset of Moore’s flight the peace officers of Butte County ad- vanced the theory that he would at- tempt to travel through Butte County on his road to freedom, and they have maintained a vigilant watch for the fleeing fugitive. It was brought to light to-day that Moore has an uncle living somewhere on the Humboldt River in Nevada, and word was imme- diately sent to the Sheriff of Humboldt County to locate Moore's relatives and keep him under surveillance. This step was taken simply as a precautionary measure to insure Moore’s capture should he attempt to seek refuge or monetary assistance from that source. Marshal Tompkins received word last evening from Brownsville to the ef- fect that a tall, dark stranger, answer- ing the description of the fugitive, passed through the town on Friday morning on his way westward.

Sheriff Getchell l'ails to Find the Stockton Suspect. STOCKTON, April 8—Sheriff Get- 'hell and the local officers returned this afternoon from Roberts and Union is- | lands after having searched unsuccess- | fully for the man believed to be Moore, the murderer. They failed to find him and what they learned of the suspect was not encouraging to their theories. The man applied at one of the brick vards for work and is said to have re turned to Stockton. The suspect was seen last Sunday in this c by a citizen who noticed his close r 3 to the Nevada murderer and called it to the attention of the police. In the meantime the fellow had disappeared, but the officers obtained descriptions of him and found that they tallied with that of Moore. The latter uses a small tin ear trumpet, but the individual seen here had a large rubber trumpet. ce the pictures of THREE THOUSAND " CARS ORDERED | | | i st | | | New Rolling Stock for | the Southern Pacific.

All of the departments at the railroad shops in this city, which employ nearly 3000 mechanics, are in full blast, and it was said to-day that it may not be long before the hours of labor are increased. | A fire which occurred last winter de- stroyed the car, machine shops, planing mill and some small kindred depart- ments, but as soon as the new car shops, now being constructed, are com- | pleted and the machinery installed, many new cars will be built: in fact, | quite a number of cars are being con- structed here now, despite the incon- | venience occasioned by the fire. | The steamboats which ply on the Sacramento River reach one of the finest grain producing sections in the country and on the river front scenes | of unusual activity are witnesscd. Steamboats which had practically gone | | out of commission are being repaired in | anticipation of the great freight busi- ness of the approaching summer, and a large force of workmen is emploved at the rallroad shops making new boil- ers and restoring the machinery for | boats owned by the Southern Pacific. | 'H. J. Small, superintendent of mu- | | tive power and machinery, said to-day | the reason why the company had | laced the large order for cars with tern manufacturers was that it had found itself short of rolling stock and | could not have the necessary number of cars produced at the Sacramento | plant because of the destruction of the | planing mill and car machine shop by | | fire. This loss will soon be made good | and it is believed that this summer will witness great activity in all the de- partments of the shop system.

C., April 8.—Kang Yu Wei, the Chinese refugee statesman, who arrived here last night, spent the day in addressing assemblies of his fellow countrymen and detailing to them the reasons which led to his over- throw and the present crisis in China. Kang does not understand a word of English. This is his first journey from China. In an interview to-day he said the object of his vi to London was to lay before the Foreign Office the un- native land and endeavor to enlist English aid in freeing the Empress Dowager from her strange infatuation for the Rus- sians, Kang fs still a young man not over | | forty v of age. He says he has been a close student of the history of all nations and frequently drew the attention of the deposed Emperor to the fact that those nations which adopted modern methods forged ahead, while those which did not retrograded. {e is accompanied by a private sec- retary and by a representative of the Japanese Government, who is accred- ited to present him at European courts, as the Chinese consular service has been instructed to ignore him. He says that during the regime of the late Em- peror he succeeded in obtaining large grants of money, sufficient to put the navy in a fair condition, but the Em- press Dowager spent these sums on beautifying her garden. Addressing his countrymen, Kang sald that it waes at his instance that the Emperor granted Wei-Hai-Wei to Great Britain In order to check Rus- sia’s advance in China. He believes of- ficialism may retard the development for a few years, but in the end noth- ing can prevent China becoming a great nation. He intends to visit all countries of Europe, with the exception of Russia, which he hates.

Then Mr. Moss asked the witness if it was not because of the political in- fluence of the woman'proprietor that the police were held back. Devery de- nied that this was so. The question of allowing two period- icals which circulated around the ten- | derloin district to continue publication was then put to Devery. The Chief said that these papers had been toned | down considerably, and that he had called the attention of Anthony Com- stock to them, but he. was slightly | mixed as to the particular occasion on which he reminded Mr. Comstock of their circulation. No other important witnesses were examined, but Frank Croker’s name was called. He was not present.

NEW YORK, April 8.—The seven members of the Mazet legislative inves- tigating committee began their work of prying into the records of the Police Department and other local administra- tive offices to-day. After several minor witnesses had been called a number of them failing to make their appearance, Chief of Police Devery was called to the stand, and his testimony was the most important of the day, as it signified the launching of the attack upon the Ploice Depart- ment. The witness admitted that there was a charge against him when he was made Chief in February, 1897. The Chief was compelled to admit that the charge had been held up, and then said he had never been required to pass a civil service examination. Mr. Moss then sprang something of a surprise on the witness by announc- ing that he offered in evidence three charges which had been | ubiquitous. | to seek. By the law passed in AMPUTATES ONE OF HIS OWN FEET Remarkclble’ Surgical Operation Performed by a Crippled Youth. ARCQLA, IIl, April 8.—A peculiar surgical operation was performed yesterday by a crippled boy, named Warren Murphy, which is a mystery to the physicians, and which some of the most skilled geons of the State refused to attempt. Young Murphy, who is now years of age, and who has been deformed from birth, is taken by people who do not know him to be not more than 3 or 4 years old. All his life the boy has been suffering from a shriveled foot. The lad has begged to have it amputated, but surgeons refused; saying that to do so meant certain death. Young Murphy went to the home of his brother, Harry Murphy, and CoOSOROSNOE . S 23028 O &S while the latter was absent the boy took his pocket-knife and severed the & giseased foot at the ankle.
