still At large:
Sheriff Henson, Of Placer county
having received authentic information
on Tuesday, September 3Oth, that Tom
Bell, and at least a portion OF his gang
were on the road in the vicinity Of the
Franklin House, summoned a posse Of
reliable men in Auburn, and started
20 arrest them. by this time it WAS
] tie in the day, and it was not until
near midnight that they reached the
spot indicated. At that hour a por-
ton Of the Sherifi's posse came up
with Tom Bell, Ned Conway, and an
o her called "Texas," near the Frank
lin House, recognised them and order
ed them to stop. The highwaymen
Immediately commenced drawing their
pistols, but Deputy Sheriff Moore got
the start Of them, and firing, shot Ned
Conway through the body. After the
man had been shot his horse carried
him into the bushes, few steps, when
he fell from his back, dead. Bell and
Texas commenced firing upon the
posse, and about twenty shots were
exchanged, one Of which struck one Of
the Sheriff's horses. None of the
men were, however, touched by the
balls. The highwaymen then broke,
and rode rapidly up the road, when
they were Intercepted by Sheriff Hen
son himself, and Deputy Sheriff Bart
lett, who were armed with double bar
relied guns. They both levelled their
guns and drew on the robbers, when
both guns snapped without going of.
Recovering, they again levelled and
discharged the other barrels, when
Tom Bell and Texas fell from their
horses, and crept into the bushes. The
bushes were carefully searched, but the
robbers could not be found. The three
horses were secured.
Subsequently two Of the gang nam
cd Farnsworth (brotlers,) were arrest
ed near Tularc Lake.
