A North Bloomfield Gambler Suspected
of the Crime.
NEVADA Cry, Cal, Sept. 1S.-Sheriff
Dunster and ex-City Marshal Neagle re-
turned home this morning after a six
teen-hours' hunt for the murderer of
Galavotti, of the Derbee mine. On the
South Yuba grade they found the tracks
of No. s or boot leading from point
on the hill, where the shooter stood,
down to the road. Here they were
Joined by the tracks of parties from
North Bloomfield. Suspicion falling on
George Clarke, a gambler living in that
town, Constable Penrose detailed men
to track him from the house. They
found footprints of the same size as
Clarke's along the trail leading from his
house to South Yuba cailon in the vicin-
ity of the killing. Guards were then
placed by Dunster and Neagle around
the house, but when Penrose went into
the house two hours later, Clarke had
disappeared. The men are seeking to
ascertain his whereabouts.
Tracks which George Clarke's boots
exactly fit were found today in the road
mile east of North Bloomfield, leading
towards the wilds OF Meadow lake, where
his brother John has been prospecting.
If Clarke succeeds in Joining his
brother John, his capture cannot
be effected without a desperate
conflict. Both brothers are magnificent
specimens of physical manhood, and are
unerring shots with rifle and pistol
They are well armed and have a
thorough knowledge of the country from
the summit OF the Sierras to the Sacra-
mento valley.

TWO ASSESSMENT ROLLS.
Judge McKinstry's Opinion of the Boart
of EQualization's Action.


of Equalization's Action.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 18.-The board
of supervisors held special meeting
this afternoon for the purpose of discuss
ing the raised assessment of this county.
Judge McKinstry furnished a written
opinion in regard to the matter, in
which he says: 'It is my opinion that
the board of equalization has no power
to incre ase the assessment, and has not
increased the valuation OF the property
on the assessment roll in San Francisco
iOr the purposes of city and county tax
alton. That in providing for the collec-
ton of taxes for city and county pur-
pose, the local officials should be gov
erned by the assessment roll, without
regard to any increase thereof by the
state board OF equalization. but that the
state taxes should be collected with ref
erence to the increased valuations made
and directed by the state board"
The judge says there is legal mode
of levying and collecting taxes on all
property within the city and county.
The method is provided in the consoli-
dation act. The opinion was placed on
file.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept. 1S.-Governor
Buchanan, of Tennessee, today wired
Governor Brown, of Kentucky, that he
had reliable information that Kentucky
miners are preparing to release the con-
victs in the mines at Briceville, Tenn.

CHINA AND THE POWERS.
Various Reports Concerning the Existing
Troubles.


SHANGHAI, Sept. 1S.-The Chinese
government. it is announced, is not
aware of arv threatened naval demon
strations upon the parts of the COM
bined fleets of the powers. 1t is stated
that there is no truth in the statement
that the Chinese government sent note
to the powers in regard to the outrages
complained of by the foreign ministers.
PARIS, Sept. 1S.-Ribot, minister of
foreign affairs, has handed the Chinese
charge d'affaires a note insisting upon
the urgency of upolding the security of
the life and property of foreigners in
China.
LONDON, Sept. 1S.-The Times today,
commenting on the outrages perpe-
trated upon foreigners in China, says:
Europe and America do not desire to
play into the hands of the ambition of
anarchy by too perceptible exertion of
their rights. They are conscious that
they might precipitate total collapse by
treating technical liability to the state
as being equivalent to its actual guilt.
The course they are likely to pursue if
q repe ition occurs is to take the matter
into their own hands and exact satisfac-
tion from the offending locality. Speedy
and sharp measures are indispensable"

VICTIM OF JEALOUSY.
Miss Adams Did Not Die Willingly With
j. W. Montgomery.

WOODLAND, CAL, Sept. IS. - Late
Thursday night the coroner's jury rem
dered verdict that Mae Adams came
TO her death by a gunshot wound in
hicted by j. w. Montgomery, and that
he took his own life at the same time
and place. Experts have since exam
ined the letter OF Mae Adams found on
Montgomery addressed "To Mother, ;"
and have decided quite generally that it
is the handwriting of Montgomery.
This discovery goes far to convince the
public that the unfortunate girl was not
party to any compact to die together,
but rather the victim of jealous melan-
eholy on the part of her lover. Both
will be buried in Woodland cemetery,
Montgomery at 2 p. M, Saturday. Miss
Adams on Sunday.

REPORTER VS.. BEAR.
A Newspaper Mans Experience at
San Diego.

A Newspaper Mans Experience at
San Diego.
A reporter of the San Diego Sun at
tended fight between bull and bear
at Tia Juana on Wednesday. The bear
broke loose from its moorings, and the
reporter had the following exciting ex-
perience:
"While bruin wae attempting to es-
cape he reached point directly under
meath the position occupied by the rep
resentative of the Sun. Rearing upon
his launches he placed his lore paws
upon the fence, with an evident inten-
ton OF making his exit at that point.
AS the pencil pusher gazed into the
yawning Jaws of the beast the cavity dis
closed looked in his eyes fully as large
as the mouth of Mont Gents tunnel, and
the few remaining hairs on the head OF
the scribe began to raise toward the
crown of his hat. Just as few words
of the Lords prayer had been uttered by
the trembling reporter, a vaquero ar
rived with lariat and began whirling
it for the purpose of lassoing the bear.
At the last whirl the rope fell around
the neck of the Suns representative.
and the frantic efforts of the Mexican to
dislodge it threatened to precipitate the
victim directly into the mouth of the
growing brute below. To say that the
reporter was now thoroughly frightened
does not express it, and he has no word
at command which fits the case. In his
efforts to assist the vaquero in recover
ing his lariat away went his hat, but
he finally succeeded in getting his neck
from the moose. Recovering his tile, the
scribe made quick time for the open
field, and not until the shouts inside
announced the capture of bruin did he
feel any desire to return"

German Interest Affected, Bismarck t.
the Contraru Observation-Disclosures

German Interest Affected, Bismarck to
the Contrary Notwithstanding.
BERLIN, Sept. IS. - The Deutsche
Revue published an article signed by a
late ambassador, which contends that
the Dardanelles question is not SO re-
mote from German interests as incul-
Gated by Bismarckian tradition. "Rus-
sian strategists," the writer says, 'ad-
NIT that the road to Constantinople lies
through Vienna and therefore Germany
is bound to maintain Austrian ingegrity.
The Russian aims at becoming the ruler
of Europe and Asia. Bismarck's hope
that he will bleed to death is too forlorn
to depend upon"
