Klein to Send Out ReIiefs.

CARsos, New, Dec. 27.-Joseph Klein,
son of Jake Klein. Of the Bullion Ex-
change bank, and George Bosworth left
Placerville two weeks ago 70 walk to Car
son over the mountains. Shortly after
ward they were met by Henry Barton at
Dennis Johnsoa's. Barton says they were
apparently tired out, and he advised them
TO turn back. or az any rate not to cross
the summit at that time. Bosworth was
willing, but Klein insisted upon pushing
on 10 the next station, eleven miles. Both
started up the mountain.
The snow becoming deeper since then,
nothing has been heard of them. Three
other men started over the summit the
Sunday previous. One of them was found
dead by Barton and McNull, twelve miles
from Lake Tahoe. Barton further con-
tinued the search on snowshoes. but found
nothing of the others. All the stations
had been visited by the searchers, but
none of the wanderers have been found.
The storms in the mountains for the last
week have been terrible, the nights being
cold enough TO freeze TO death. Barton
knows the country we'll and is certain that
all five men have persisted. The father of
Klein will send reliefs through the hills in
the hope of finding his son. There is lit
tie shelter where these storms of snow and
sleet sweep across the Sierras.

THREE CRANKs IN A DAY.
Want Vanderbilt's Brains, Guilds Life,
and All Men to PRAY.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Late last night,
while Cornelius Vanderbilt was entertain
ing a number of friends at his Fifth ave-
nue. residence, good looking, well dressed
young man, apparently German, rang
the door bell. To the page who answered
the summons the visitor said he called to
see Vanderbilt personally to get his brains,
which he proposed to have subjected to ex-
pert analysis in order to determine why
Vanderbilt was able to amass a fortune
while the caller was penniless.
The page summoned an officer who took
the man to the station. In his pocket
was found card bearing the name of John
]. Lingman, 6S East Eleventh street, also
q membership card of the Young Mems
Christian Association. The prisoner was
taken to the Yorkville police court this
morning and committed, pending an ex-
animation as to his mental condition.
KANSAS CITY, No., Dec. 27.-Thomas
Edwards, nurse recently discharged
from the city hospital, became deranged
this afternoon, and running out on the
street, at the point of a revolver made
every one he met kneel and pray. He was
finally arrested.

Garza's Followers Openly Fire

PRISONERS MADE TO CONFESS.

TO End Border Difficulties ~
Quickly ~ Possible.

NEW ORLEANS. La, Dec. 2T.-The Times
Democrats San Antonio, Tex, special says:
DR.. Plutarco Ornalas, the Mexican CONSUL
here, today received dispatch from Lar
edo which states that an engagement took
place last night between Garza's followers
and the Mexican troops at San Innacio's
ranch, this side of the border, between Car
rizo and Laredo. The revolutionists as
sembled in large force On the Texas
bank and opened steady fire at the troops
across the river, which was returned. The
battle resulted in one Mexican soldier be-
ing killed and number on each side being
wounded.
The fact that force Of Garza's men has
been in that locality Is evidence that the
movement is spreading rapidly, and that
there is necessity for better military pro-
lection OF the Texas frontier is made more
than ever apparent. There is large force
of troops at the post here, but they viii not
be ordered out unless absolutely necessary.
There has been no word of any kind re-
ceived from Captain Bourke, OF the Third
cavalry, at military headquarters here for
the past forty-eight hours. He is in
command of Fort Ringgold, which
Cara has threatened to capture,
1t being necessary for his men to secure
supplies. This is the belief of General
Stanley. The telegraph wires are down
between Fort Ringgold and Brownsville,
or else Captain Bourke is absent in pur-
suit of the revolutionists. telegram
from the secretary of war, ordering that
every effort be made to bring the border
difficulties to an end as quickly as posi-
BILE. and that the federal troops should
make as many captures of the revolution
lists as possible, was received by General
Stanley today. The general Immediately
telegraphed different commanders along
the border to secure the names of as many
of the offenders as possible and have war
rants issued for their arrest. Indirect
word concerning the movements of Cap
tain Hardie, of the Third cavalry, was re-
cieved at headquarters here this morning,
and relieved anxiety as TO his safety. He
has pushed hard after a detachment of 100
of Garza's men, and will either have them
chased across the river into Mexico or
brought to critical situation within the
next forty-eight hours.
-Four prisoners, GarZa's men, were
captured near Elvartno, Mexico, by the
government troops, and brought to New
Laredo today. Ii is understood that the
federal authorities will endeavor TO secure
q confession from them in order to i'm
plicate the leaders of the revolutionary
movement. AS they are trailers. if they
do not confess, they will probably
be shot. The state rangers
who left Laredo yesterday joined
Captain Hardie's command of United
States troops today. The United States
government wagon came into the city to-
day from Hardie's troops for more sup
plies, but nothing was learned from the
officers as to whether they brought news or
not, and the supposition is that Hardie
has not been near the revolutionists.
