VIsALIA, July 6th.-Reavis, who shot
Deputy Sheriff Wren, on Friday, in max
ing his escape compelled the teamster into
whose wagon he had taken refuge, to drive
to the home of Mr.. kirkman, near the Cot
tage PostottiCe, where he demanded money
which was owing 10 him. Here the Sher-
IFS posse surrounded him, and owing to
darkness and the heavy underground of
brush and weeds, he made his escape. He
is now in hiding in the large swamp, and
is very hard to reach, and declares he will
not be taken alive. Wren was very popu-
lar, and public feeling is intense A large
posse is in pursuit, but it is hard to foretell
the result. Wren leaves widow and
three children. He was member of the
Order of Workmen and carried a $1,000
policy.

nent not doing enough to deserve the
knocked out in the first round. These
tactics were repeated in the second and
third, when 1t was stopped and half the
| gate money returned TO the spectators The
rest should have all gone to Bane, but the
latter's cowardly opponent, working his
jaw better than his dukes" cozzened the
referee out OF an undeserved portion.
