An officer was detailed to watch for the re-
ceipt and delivery of the goods, and upon

No. 1417. The Chief of Police then stationed
an officer near that point, day and night, to

visited a public house on the jackson road,

qusinted, and during short absence OF Mr..

which Coyls kept in tin box IN
his house, and at once decamped. Mr..

above description from San Jose, at once
identified the robber as the same Campbell
wanted at San Jose. The watch was then
doubled near the premises of Mrs. Campbell
on Nineteenth street, and on Friday morn
ing, while officer Frazee was on duty there,
a Mrs. Curtis whose husband has ranch on
the lower Stockton road, some four miles
from this city, called at Mrs. CampbelPs,
and soon after left. As she was leaving, the
officer inquired of her as to the object OF her

note from Mr. Campbell to his wife. At
the officers request she accompanied him to
ported to the Chief, who Immediately dis
patched officer Frazee to Mr.. Curtis ranch
to arrest Campbell. Upon the arrival
of the officer Campbell ran, escaping
through the barn, but was pursued
and soon captured. Upon being searched
but small amount of money was found in
his possession, and he stated that the rest was
BURIED DOWN ON THE RANCH
And he would go with Mr.. Curtis and get it,
but would not go if the officer went along.
The officer handed Mr.. Curtis his pistol, and
Curtis and the prisoner left for the money,
Mr.. Curtis holding firmly to the lapel of the
prisoners coat. When about three or four
hundred yards away they came to fence
post where Campbell pretended the money
was to be found. He then remarked, II
won't go TO jail, any way" and tried to break
from Mr.. Curtis, who held so firmly to his
grip that he tore down part of CampbelPs
coat. Campbell then caught out of his
pocket heavy monkey-wrench, which he
had concealed, and dealt Curtis heavy blow
across the back of his hand with which he
was holding, severely iniuring il, and which
caused him to let go. Campbell then ran,
with MIR. Curtis following and firing three
shots, but none of which took effect. AS
soon as the officer saw Campbell escaping he
went in persuit and, together with Curtis,
closely followed to the Catholic Cemetery,
where they lost sight of HIM, and he sue
ceeded in escaping. The entire police force
at once instituted a vigilant search of the sur
rounding country and the city for his rear
