WHEATLAND, CAL, June IL.
Although the town is more quiet than
yesterday, s deep feeling Of excitement
prevails in the community concerning the
outrage Of Monday night. The girls, Ida
Dunn and Cora Heslip. are more comfort
able this morning. The air is full of ru-
mors, but the officers are yet without 6
clue. Everything. thus far, falls to the
ground. A paper, to raise a reward for the
apprehension Of the villain. was started an
hour ago, and $500 have been subscribed.
Papers have been sent TO Sheridan and
Marysville and il is believed that before to-
morrow morning a reward OF S5,O00 VIII
be offered, exclusive Of that by Governor
/ Irwin, who only awaits a report of the
| physicians to publish a proclamation of .
reward by the State. The doctors find no
evidence of outrage on the persons of the
/ girls. Fossett, the man srres ted in Colusa
on suspicion. it appears received the blood
| which stained his clothing, in a street fight.
The negro Is still in custody, although be-
lieved to he innocent. Suspicion has cast
q shadow On many, but it has been remov-
ed by Investigation. Parties intend to
search the river bed this afternoon, as it is
believed the man who carried Ida out may
have got rid of some of his clothine. on
which was the blood Of his victims. Rod
dam feels confident that he can recognize
the man he saw at the window, if lie sees
him again.
The Post" this evening, publishes in
terviews with nearly all the delegates
elected to the Republican State Conven-
ton. and summaries the result as follows:
Delegates in favor of Perkins. %: in favor
of Evans, 40; Swift, 2; dark-horse, /. Upon
the first ballot the delegation may vote in
that manner. II another strong candidate
was named as the Dark horse" who may
be either Dudley of Solano, Judge Hale
of Placer, Judge j. Mem. Shafter of Marin,
or j. H. Jewett of Marysville, it is thought
while Perkins delegates would stand by
him, Evans delegates in the Tenth and
Twelfth Districts would be inclined to
jump the track. This would change the
the figures, to Perkins, 80; Evans, Is; dark
horse, %, and Swift, 2.
In the case of Lawrence Otis Hall. the
jury, after an absence OF Is minutes, re-
turned a verdict of guilty. and recommend
ing the defendant to mercy. Saturday
next is set for sentence.
Strenuous efforts are being made to OBJ
tain bail for Jos. c. Duncan. which ag-
gregates Sll3. 900. Bonds have been drawn
and signed by several ~well-known citizens,
including A. A. Cohen and Delos Lake.
Albert Z. Prior, brother Of J. X. Prior,
plumber and gas filter, this morning tried
to commit suicide by jumping from Long
Bridge. He was rescued and brought ia
the City Prison, where the City Physician
examined him and ordered him sent before
the Commissioners of INSANITY.

Of their treatment by bad whites, the
