TUCSON, Ariz., March 25.—It was learned to-day that the information re- cently received from Mexico concerning the massacre of passengers on a stage coach running between Potane and Torin, in Sonora, by Yaqu! Indians, was incor- rect, in so far as it related to the death of Mrs. C. H. de Gonzales. Mrs. de Gon- zales had been with the lll-fated party, but left the stage at Potane the day be- in the body of Overmeyer | they | This coinage will produce 5,000,000 | - | picked up empty cartridge shells along the road, showing that the robber had kept up the fire on the retreating stage for nearly half a mile. On reaching the ground of the hold-up they found Mes- | | senger Overmeyer’s gun at the bottom Qf the canyon. One barrel had been dis- charged and it is almost certain that Overmeyer fired one shot. It is believed that Overmeyer had his arm elevated and was in the shot, as the bullet that Killed him passed | | first through the cuft of his coat, graz- ing the wrist, and then entered the body just over the heart. On reaching the tree behind which the robber had concealed himself the blood- hounds readily took up the scent and fol- lowed it to a large hollow tree about a quarter of a mile from the road. It Is supposed that the outlaw had camped | there while waiting for a stage with treasure aboard. 5 | From that point the hounds again took the track, which led in a southerly di- rection. | wire with that section of the county the | movements of the officers through the day are not known here. The country is | mountainous and brushy and in parts heavily timbered and difficult to get over. Sheriff J. H. Smith of this county is ab- gent in Southern California, but his dep- | utles and the Sonoma officers are using | every exertion to capture the bandit. | Mrs. Stephens, who saw the robber and | heard the shooting, thinks that nearly twenty shots were fired. The tree behind which the robber was hidden was a red- | wood, about six feet in diameter and be- hind it he had piled green boughs to sit upon. There were numerous tracks lead- | ing from this tree to and from his camp, showing that he had made daily trips to the side of the road. | Henry Ousley, the driver of the stage, | reached Mendocino about 11 o'clock last night and landed the express boxes | safely. WOODLAND, March 2%.—Q. A. Over- | meyer, who was killed by a stage robber | near Mendocino on Sunday, was | father of Mrs. E. Y. Bush of this city. | DR. PIERCE'S REMEDIES.

A heavy rain reached Northern San Diego | County in the early morning and the lit-| | tle stream which makes its way into the sea at San Juan, just®where the Santa Fe dips down from the mesa to take the level which makes it the surfline, became a raging torrent. The bridge was cov- ered with water and, though it stood firm on its foundation, there was a washout of about twenty-five feet, which delayed ; the south-bound train for a little more | than two hours. While the rain in the city up to 9 o'clock was only .16 of an inch the back country received from two to six times as much. TRe country is looking fine and the best crops in many | | years are assured. SA BERNARDINO, March 25.—The heaviest rain of the season began here at 9 o'clock yesterday morning and con- tinued until 4 o’clock this morning. The total precipitation was 259 inches mak- | ing a total for the season of 11.90 inches. | The storm was also heavy In the moun- | tains, more r¥in falling than during any one storm for many years. Reports from ! Bear Valley Lake state that there is more | water in the hjg reservoir than at any | time in ten yedrs. It Is still cloudy and | indécations for more rain are favorable. { PASADENA, March, 2.—Considerable { damage to oranges anfl lemons by the | rainstorm of yesterday and last night | throughout the San Gabriel Valley was | caused. It was the heaviest fall'in years, | 4.38 inches being recorded. RIVERSIDE, March 2.—The rainfall | for the last twenty-four hours was 2.4 inches, making a total of 4 inches for the month. This is the heaviest March rain- | | fall since 1593. Showers continue. GRIDLEY, March 2%.—The grain ranch- | ers of Butte County have sustained a loss | of about 2 per cent by reason of the recent heavy rains and frosts of the past few weeks. At one time it was thought | there would be much greater loss, but | | the favorable weather of the past few | | days has brought out the young grain | | and the crop averages better than last | year at this time. 1 SAN JOSE, March 25.—The Santa Clara | Valley is recelving its necessary spring | soaking and the farmers and orchardists | are in the best of spirits. The Prospects | | for large crops of grain and fruit were | | never better. Every drop of rain this| | season has fallen at the right time. | BAKERSFIELD, March 2.—Kern Coun- | | ty was visited by heavy showers of rain | | early this morning, which drenched the country and made bright prospects for | crops. The total precipitation at Bakers- | field was .2¢ and for the season the fall | is 4.53 inches, against 4.34 for the same | time last season. The great advantage | of this year over last, however, consists | {in the fact that last year's rain mostly came late in the season and did not do the good that the present, coming earller, | bas done. The outlook now is the best | in seven years. Reports from other parts | | of the county indicate that the rainfall | | was greatest in the immediate vicinity of | | Bakersfield. { | LOS ANGELES, March 25.—All of the | downtown streets and the whole of the southern part of the city presented a| | sorry appearance this morning as a re- | sult of yesterday’'s flood of storm water. | | No serfous damage was done except to the | | streets, which suffered heavily from | | vashioe. | CAR CONDUCTOR SAVES ! PASSENGER FROM INJURY | | Pulls Young Woman Aside Just as | Runaway Horse Dashes on the Seat. | FRESNO, March 25.—Miss Clara Medfll, | a pretty young clerk, had a very narrow | escape from death this morning in an ac- | cldent that partially wrecked a street | | car and resulted in the killing of a horse. | | The animal, which belonged to J. C.| Smith, a painter, took fright while hitched | on I street and dashed away. At the| corner of Mariposa and I streets it turned and before anybody realized what had happened leaped straight into the rear | end of a swiftly moving trolley car. Miss | Medill was on the rear seat and the body | of the horse was thrown partially upon | the seat with her. The presence of mind | of the conductor, who pulled Miss Mediil | out of the way, was the only thing that saved her from serious injury and per- haps death. The force of the collision broke séveral standirons at the back of | the car and wrecked a portion of the seat. The horse was killed. i ACCUSES A STRIKER OF FALSE IMPRISONMENT Keswick Laborer Alleges That He Was Detained for Twelve Hours in a Tent. REDDING, March 25.—The cases of the | six Keswick strikers charged with riot were to-day postponed until next Tues- Gay on account of a scarcity of shért- hand reporters. James G. Maguire of San Francisco {s counsel for the strikers. William Evans, another striker, was ar- rested to-day on a charge of false im- prisonment. The complainant is B.
