AKERSFIELD, April 12.—Outlaw James McKinney had his first brush with officers of the law this afternoon at 4 o’clock on the south fork of the Kern River, six miles from Kernville; and escaped. At that hour the murderer came down the | bank of the stream on horseback. He was headed toward the northwest, in the direction of Linns Valley and Porterville, and had evidentiy come direct from the vicinity of Randsburg. The fight was at Fugett's ranch on the river, near twhere the stream comes through the mountains, Here R. W.

When | the fugitive came in sight they drew a line on him and walted in thelr hiding place for a shot, as he was compelled to take this road to get by on his journey. The hunted man, however, was cautious and on the lookout for an ambush.

LONGMONT, Colo., April 12.—-Two men dynamited the safe in the postoffice here early this morning, but were surprised by citizens before they could gather much booty. Only two registered letters were secured and these were later recovered from the men who were captured In a lumber yard near by. The men gave their names as George Bradley and William Morrison and claim they are from Pueblo: Officers here: believe they may have had something to do with the recent holding up of a restaurant there, when two men patrons of the place were shot and killed.

The news was immediately brought to Kernvllle, telephoned to Callente and from there wired to Bakersfleld. Sheriff. Kelly recelved a confirmation in an of- ficial report by telephone from the depu- tles at Kernville. Details are diffcuit to as all messages have to be tele- phoned by a private line to Caliente and relayed by others to Bakersfieid. There are no officers at Glennville or in Linns Valley, but Sherfff Kelly has wired to lay McKinney at White River Station, at the border of Kern and Tulare countfes. | If the outlaw is wounded, as belleved, he | can hardly hope to eseape. A message tognight from Randsburg says that Sheriff Collins of Visalia and Deputy Sheriff Gus Tower of Bakersfield returned there this afternoon. The re- mainder of the posse is still at the borax works at Searles, where Colllns and Tower had expected to return to-morrow, but the latest news is likely to change their plans. OFFICERS ARE SURE. The officers at Kernville are positive of the identity of the man they met and it was McKinney, whom bpth know well. This should set at rest all doubts as to the {dentity of the Kingman murderer with that of the Porterville outlaw, which many acqualntances of the latter profess to doubt, notwithstanding the positive. identification of him by others. A sporg- ing man of this city has a letter parpore— ing to haye been received from the out- law, dated and sent from Hermosillo, Mexico, on March 27, four days before the Kingman murder.
