HE IS STILL FREE
Armed Men Chasing the Colum-
 bus Grove Robber.
MURDER ADDED TO HIS GRIMES.
So Far the Search for the Desperate Has
 Proved Unsuccessful.

saVer0l Experienced Detectives Have
 Joined in the1Chase-ThoC County and
 Town Offer Rewards-He Stole a Horse
 from a PasturO-A Belief that He Took
 a Train at Findlay.
 COLUMBUS GROVE, Ohio Aug 10.-Early in the morning the men in pursuit of the fugitive bank robber, and now.murderer, were awake and resumed the chase of the criminal
 William Vandemark. the farmer shot Saturday, died at a. m., and by his hunters and a stronger determin ation that he should be taken dead or alive.
 Word was received by telegram that he had been traced to 8 small area near Beaver Dam, a small village eleven miles south of this place, and to that point everybody who could get 6 vehicle went.
 Reward Offered.
 4 reward has been agreed upon and Is offered as follows: The county offers $500, the municipality $250, and the bank $200. Besides this @ subscription has been started among the people, which, in connection with the of1 cial amount offered, aggre ates considerably above 8 thousand dollars. Policemen from the forces of neighboripg cities and several experienced detectives have join ed in the chase.
 Latest Work of the Desperado.
 A later report says the desperate is be- yond reach, and 1t Is questionable If he is ever caught at all. After the chase was givea up last night the man stopped witt some laborers building a pipe line about two miles east of Beaver Dam and at the crossing of the Lake Erie Railroad at 8 point one mile west of Bluffton. He went into pasture and stole 8 black mare at 1 a. m., four miles east of Bluffton. He followed farmer and his family home who had been out visiting, and with his ready revolver compelled them to get him a meal. The stolen horse was tied to the branches of tree by rope hal ter dur ing his stay at this place. and an attempt was made to buy a buggy and harness, or even bridle from the farmer, but the attempt was in vain.
 It is highly probable that the hunted man has rode his horse into Findlay, jumped a train, and is by this time far away. It was noon before the theft of the horse was discovered and later when his direction was learned. Hundreds of men were in the chase to-day where there were 10 yesterday, and the time was all spent beating about the bushes from which the bird had flown.

FARMER EVANS IS GONE.
Claims Amounting to $1o,oOO Are Held
 Against Him.

Against Him.
 HADDoNFIELD, N. J., Aug, 10.-The flight of Samuel Evans, one of the best known farmers in Camden County, is the sensation of the day in this vicinity. It is said that claims amounting to fully $10,0 are held against him. Evans had a fine large farm on the White Horse Pike, about three miles out of Camden. His outbuildirgs were of the most pre- tentious kind, and everything he pur- chased was of the best.
 It was the discovery of forged note that precipitated his flight. The note was for $2S0, payable at the National State Bank, Camden, and purporting to have been made by Isaac Matlock, we'll known Burlington County farmer. The paper went to protest, and MT. Matlock l, on being notified, pronounced 1t for gery.I
 In letter for his wife Evans wrote:
 MARY: All that is left of your fathers es- tate is what Is in the house. You had better sell 1t and pocket the money.
 As soon as the news of Evans flight became noised about there was a hasty comparison of notes by the farmers and business men, and 1t was then learned that Evans had secured considera ble money before he departed. Phtladelp h ia me rchants with whom the farmer had business relations are said to be among the number. On the day he left he en- tered the office of Shivers & Moffett, the Camden lumber dealers, and made a fruitless effort to get an exchange of checks.

Quite humber of sports were in attendance, having left Chicago on 0 special train for the scene of battle.
 The men weighed little less than IA pounds Ryan was in hrst-class condi- tion, but in the opinion of exports at the ring side McMillan was overrtained. Bet ting was to on Ryan.
 Ryan's seconds were announced as Jim Hall and Billy Kuntz, and McMil- lan's as Joe Rollo and George Siler. Malachi Hogan was referee.
 When the men faced each other Mo- Mtllan's stock rose 8 little. He opened the round by leading with his left, which fell short, Ryan retorting with a smart blow in the face. A quick exchange fol lowed. When the round closed both men were fresh, but MoMillan's face was scared and the blood was coming.
 In the second round Ryan went in fast and hard. He caught his man on the cheek once or twice and then gave him 8 short-arm punch in the right eye. The eye closed its doors and hung out crape, and McMillan looked dazed
 McMillan went into the ring in the third round with the air of 8 man who knew he was beaten and wanted to hasten the killing blow. He ran against Ryan, who punished him horribly, break ing one of his ribs with rieht-arm swing. The champion knocked him down, and he got up weakly, only to be smashed again and knocked out. Mo Milan was badly cut and bruised in the fight, and his nose looked as if it had been broken. Ryan was perfectly fresh.

Discovery of Conspiracy to Destroy Two
 Chilian Vessels.
 LONDON, Aug. 1O-Startling informa- tion is in possession of the Gillian Lega- tion in reference to conspiracy tp de- stroy the two Ohilian ironclads, Presi- dente Pinto and Errazuriz.
 It appears that the sum of $3, 900 was offered to an English maritime officer, in the service of the Chilian government, if he would undertake to blow up the Er- razuriz. He refused the offer with in. diRnation>
 While the vessel was in the harbor of Lisbon suspicious boats were seen ap- preaching on several occasions at night, but tho careful lookout on the vessel kept them at bay. There was no doubt puf- pose to explode the vessel at Lisbon.
 While the Presidente Pinto was at Toulon party of mon attempted to join the crew. They looked so unlike ordinary sailors, two of them being una- ble to conceal their refinement of man ner, that suspicion was aroused, and the commander concluded to rSject them, d. though in need of men, Proof 6StSf- ward came to his knowledge tha those men had been engaged to Atpk the ship.
 There is also reason to believe that the running aground at Toulon was owing to treachery. The commander was 50 bon vinced of this that he sent a report to that effect to Paris.
 The Errazuriz Is already safe at sea, and it is understood that the Pinto will soon be in 8 position to follow, and that their arrival In Chin will put an end to the revolution.
