Special Dispatch to The Call. YUMA, Ariz., Nov. 3—During the noon hour to-day Thomas Hart, under sentence for murder of Under Sheriff Devane at this place last January, and a Mexican named Lefbas, In jail for robbery, over- powered the guard of the jall as the door was opened to pass in their dinner. Locking the guard in the cell and taking two rifles and a revolver from the Sher- iff’s office, the two men made their escape into the railroad yards, where a switch engine was on the turntiable. Leibas for- merly worked in the roundhouse and was able to manage an engine. After compelling the engineer and fire- | man to get off, he took charge of the en- | gine, while Hart threw the switch neces- sary to put them on the main line and got aboard. The engine was run _out about twelve miles from town and aban- doned. Another engine with a car containing a posse quickly followed in pursuit of the ped prisoners. The latest report i that the men were encountered near Fo: una, a small mining camp, and a desper- ate battle ensued, resulting in the killing of Hart and capture of Leibas. WED TO CONCLUDE THEIR LONG ROMANCE Actor and English Heiress Marry a Second Time to Prevent Arrest. PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 38—John G. Sloan, actor, and Miss Retta G. Morgan, heiress, were married in this city Friday night and left yesterday morning for Los Angeles, adding another chapter to a long drawn out romance. They were married before coming to Phoenix, but the first weding in England two years ago lacked civil confirmation. The bride is heir to a vast English es- tate and married Sloan against the wishes of her relatives. Lawyers and de- tectives have sought vainly to bring about a separation, and under fear of bei: arrested by Los Angeles attorneys employed by the estate, the pair fled to Phoenix and caused the civil ceremony to_be quietly performed. Sloan, with_his wife, appeared on the stage in_the East, in Denver and on the glc}flcdco&lt under the name of Richard erford. FORMER STRIKERS SHOOT NON-UNION MACHINISTS COLUMBIA, 8.

E3 : CHARGE CRIME AGAINST DEPUTY ‘Washington Authorities Cause Arrest of an Officer. Special Dispatch to The Call. SEATTLE, Nov. 3.—With the alleged de- liberate and premeditated co-operation and assistance of a King County deputy Sheriff, Captain E. N. Handy, convicted of swindling and sentenced to a term of two years in the penitentiary, has escaped from the King County jail and is now at large, with small prospect of being re- captured. H. W. Whitford is _the officer alleged to be responsible for Handy's es- cape. He has been arrested for the al- leged crime, which is a felony under the laws of this State. _ Miss Nellle Handy, the missing man's sister, and Mrs. E. Frackelton, are ac- cused of gomplicity in Whitford’s alleged crime and have also been placed under ar- rest. Sheriff Cudihee states that he can find no possible excuse for Whitford's con- duct, and says that he is satisfied that the women aided and abetted him in plan- ning and carrying out Captain Handy's “Captain Handy slipped th Captain Handy slipped throu, Shenft Whitford's !?r?gers in 'j“&c?‘:&“;{ noon Saturday. Whitford took Captan Handy to Tacoma, in Plerce County, for the alleged purpose of allowing the latter to consult with a friend regarding a bail bond, and there suffered Handy to go ou: of his sight for three hours. At the end of that time he went in search of his prisoner, with the result that the latter could not be found. Instead of notifying the Sheriff’s office and enlisting the aid of the Pierce County authorities and the Ta- coma police, Whitford remained in Ta- coma for an hour and then returned to this city. After “fl"\l:f in Seattle he went to bed without taking any steps to protect himself from blame for Handy's escape. First News of Escape. At 11 o'clock this morning_ Sheriff Cudl- hee learned from Whitford what had happened in Tacoma. The Sheriff acted promptly in the matter. He went before Justice Cann and swore out warrants, Which were forthwith placed in the hands of officers for service. Whitford was are rested at his home and brought to ths County Jail. The two women were soon found and placed in the cell which had been vacated bg Captain Handy. Justice Cann fixed the bail in each case at $5000. Immediately after learning that Handy had .escaped Sheriff Cudihee began work. iug the wires for his recapture. Tele- grams were sent to all the principal cities of the coast giving a description of the fugitive and offering a reward of g.‘l arrest and detention. * Sincs oJH an Ehe: followed the sea for many years Cudihee believes that if he i-z left BOERS DISPLAY GREAT BRAVERY Repeatedly and Lose Heavily. Botha Personally Directs the Attack Upon Colonel Ben- ) son’s Command. PRETORIA, Nov. 3.—Further details have been received regarding the attack by the Boers under the command of Gen- eral Botha last week on Colonel Benson's command near Brakenlaagte, Eastern Transvaal. It appears that General Bo- tha, who had been joined by anothef big commando, aggregating 1000 men, attack- ed Colonel Benson's rear guard on October 30 on the march and captured two guns, but was unable to keep them. Colonel Besnon fell mortally wounded early in the fight. Major Wools-Sampson took command, collected the convoy and took up a position for defense about 100 yards from entrenchments prepared by the Boers.. The captured guns were so situated that neither side could touch them. . The Boers made desperate sefforts to overwhelm the whole British force, charg- ing repeatedly right up to the British lines and being driven back each time with heavy loss. The defense was stubbornly and successfully maintained through the whole of the following day and the next night, untit’ Colonel Barter, who had marched all night from Bushaman’s kop- Jje, brought relief on the morning of No- vember 1. The Boers then retired. Thelr losses are estimated at between 300 and 400. Colonel Benson did not long survive. Not only did General Botha direct the attack, as already cabled, but he person- ally shared in the fighting. Boers Charge During Storm. LONDON, Nov. 4—The speclal dis- patches from South Africa reveal practi- cally nothing further about the disaster to Colonel Benson's column. It appears that the first attack was made in a blind ing rainstorm. ‘The heaviest casualties occurred while Major Wools-Sampson, who is a Johan- nesburg reformer and an officer in one of the colonial levies, was gathering the convoy under the brow of a hill—a most difficult task. It is assumed in London that the two fifteen-pounders remained in possession of the British, but the telegrams are not clear on this point. Edgar Waliace, correspondent of the Daily Mail, writing trom Pretoria on October 12, again protests against official optimism and declares that the war wiil not be ended for another year. He urges the immediate dispatch "of large rei- forcements of both men and horses. “Even when all that is possible has been done in this direction,” he says, ‘it will be necessary to wait grimly and not to expect any quick result.” Pro-Boers Attacked by Mob. A riotous scene occurred yesterday in Peckham, a suburb of London. A small gathering of the local branch of the Democratic League undertook to hold a meeting to protest against the war in South Africa. The manifestationers start- ed in procession for the place of meeting, but were hooted, buffeted and dispersed. A crowd estimated at 20,000 gathered to oppose them. There were many ugly rushes and the police were barely able to rotect the struggling pro-Boers from the fury of the populace. After much fight- ing, during which a mas was stabbed, tha pro-Boers were removed under police pro- tection. The victorious crowd then held a jingo meeting and sang “Rule Britan- S Dispatches from Warsaw say the news- papers there assert that a contract has been entered into for the supply of 20,00 horses for the British cavalry in South frica.

LONDON, Nov. 4—At the dinner on board the royal yacht Victoria and Albert last Friday evening King Edward, toast- ing the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York, gave a sketch of thelr tour. Referring to their arrival at Cape Town his Majesty said: “There, unfortunately, the war is prolonged, but we firmly pray for the re-establishment of peace and P Yasion the King sald: “In all the colonies thus visited they fulfilled their mission, expressing the gratitude of the mother country for the aid generously ac- &rded her in the hour of need, and they were everywhere received with a coc- diality of loyal enthusiasm_ which could not have been surpassed.

Captain Handy had been a pensioner in the County Jail for morc than two years. He was last May tried before Judge Grif- fin in the Superfor Court and convicted of having been the accomplice of Dr. E. F. Adams in the alleged swindling of Dr. J. Eugene Jordan of this city to the tune of $10,000 in the sale of the anclent steam- ship Professor Morse, in Oakland harbor, in the spring of : Famous Criminal Case. The case has hecome famous in the criminal annals of King County. Dr. Adams; whose home is at Chicago, was it tried. The jury in his case dis- agreed. Pending a second trial he was released on heavy bonds and is now said to be in Texas. Captain Handy was less fortunate and subsequently to his arrest was unable to obtain bonds, and was kept a prisoner in _the County Jail. His bail was fixed at $5000 after he was tried last spring, found guilty and sentenced. Captain Handy’'s home is in San n- cisco. He came to Seattle several ywars 0.

The work of repairing the docks was continued throughout ' yesterday. e ARIS, Nov. 3.—M. Delcasse, Minis- ter of Foreign Affairs, tele- graphed this morning to M. Bapst, Councilor of the French Embassy in Constantinople, di- recting him to present to-day to Tewfik Pasha, Ottoman Minister of Foreign Af- fairs, a note asking how the Turkish Gov- ernment proposes to pay the Lorando claim, and demanding the immediate exe- cution of the Sultan’s irade dealing with | that matter. The note will also require satisfaction regarding the rights of France, which are defined in the various capitulations and treaties and which in some cases have not been respected and in others have been encroached upon by rkev. This declaration of what has been done bears out the statement cabled yesterday about the intentions of the French Gov- ernment. Admiral Caillard is expected to reach his destination to-morrow.

The vessels of the division carried only a normal supply of coal, but this would be much more than enough to enable them to steam 1500 miles, the estimated distance they must cover before reaching their destination.

The young man arrived from the mining camp of Tonopah, Nev., to visit his father, whom he had left in usual health at Ne- vada City not long ago. When May ar- rived in this city he was grief-stricken to learn that his father had died last Mon- day and had been buried during his ab- sence at Tonopah. Word had been sent of the father’s illness, but owing to lack of comm;xln!catlon the young man did not re- ceive it.
