REDDINe, CAL, Nov. 4.-Bill Howard,
one of the robbers of the Lakeview and
Redding stage, was killed at his home,
three miles from Redding, last night.
After their escape from officers near
Holcomb's, Sunday night, Howard and
Jones went in opposite directions. 1t
was thought that Howard would make
for his fathers house, and three armed
men were placed in the house, G. How
ard, his father, first being arrested and
lodged in Jail as an accomplice. About
IL O'Clock the watchers heard clatter
of a horses hoofs.
They put out the light and awaited
the arrival of the man, who they had
reason to believe was Bill Howard. They
heard him open the door to his fathers
bed room, saying: "Father, strike light,
strike a light" He then entered the
room and opened the door leading to the
room where the three men were watch
ing. AS he opened the door they cried
out: Throw up your hands," In.
stantly Howard, with an oath, turned
to close the door. AS he turned three
shotguns went off. He Immediately
fell and expired.
The inquest on the body was held to-
day. The jury found that Howard came
to his death by gunshot wounds inflicted
by Thomas Miles, 0. P. Whitton and s.
A. Stewart, while acting under authority
of United States Deputy Marshal
Thacker. When searched, nothing was
found on the body. The knees of his
pants and drawers were worn out from
crawling through the brush and rocks.
The horse he was riding had been stolen
from Oak Run the same night.
Abe Jones, on leaping from
the stage at Holcomb's Sunday
with Howard, went south and was
lost all day Monday in the fog and rain.
On Tuesday his pursuers came upon
him and ordered him to throw up his
hands. He was armed with Winches-
ter rife, stolen from some cabin, and
shot, killing horse underneath one OF
his pursuers. The last heard of him. ne
was making toward Redding to rendez-
vous at Howard's house.
1t transpires that G. Howard has been
harboring the robbers at vari-
ous times, and is also implicated
in horse stealing and stage robbing.
The officers claim that he is Interested
with well organized gang Of thieves,
working between Redding and Lake.
view, Oregon. Evidence is at hand to
prove this statement. A man named
Rice, who was arrested with Howard
and Jones, is in Jail here. In the capac-
ity of teamster he acted with and as
sisted the gang by hauling stolen goods
and transporting the robbers. Thacker
and Ross have clues sufficient to convict
the entire gang.
1t is rumored that Rice has made
confession duplicating Howard and Abe
Jones in six sensational robberies of
late. The search for Jones will be con-
timed

Becky Sharp. The diverse side bears a
likeness of Marc Antony which makes
that doughty warrior look like very
bad actor.
1t is only reasonable to suppose that
the engravers did the best they knew
how with Cleopatra face. 1t is only
natural that they should. But it, after
beautifying it all they could, Egypt's
wicked queen looked anything like this
picture, one can forgive Sara Bern
hardt and Fanny Davenport and Mrs.
Langtry for feeling themselves better
looking than the descendant of the
Pharaohs.
The modern poets, it is true, have let
their imagination soar on that old coin.
TenDyson finds in it points of beauty
and many charms. But Shakespeare,
who, it is admitted, was clever man
in some respects, never claims that Cleo
patra was beauty. On the contrary,
he makes her sigh perpetually, like Ber-
anger's old coquette, for the graces
which were once hers but now lost.
Shakespeare evidently had seen the
coin. That was enough for him. He
may not have known much abont stage
carpentering but he knew pretty
woman when he saw one. So he gave
all his attention to Cleopatra's infinite
variety" and did not worry himself or
his readers about her looks.
Perhaps, then, our modern Cleopatras
are each and all better to look at than
the woman who held Antony's fancy
captive.
Fanny Davenport finds the role quite
to her liking, and enters into its inter-
probation with real artistic enjoyment.
Her production of the Sardou play is
sumptuous one, and when it is brought
forth at the Grand opera house Tuesday
evening, play goers will have an oppor-
tunity to judge Miss Davenport's ability
as play producer aside from her fitness
for the role Of Cleopatra.

OEla1cus, =. D., March So:-satur-
day night at about ll:l5, this town
was startled by an alarm OF fire and
the ringing Of BELLS. Everybody has
tened to the scene Of the fire, which
was discovered to have started in the
livery barn Of N. Atcheson on the east
side Of main street, and the whole row
from N. Atcheson's old drug store to
the brick block Of Frank Bull & Co.'S,
was burned to the ground. Continued
efforts were made to save the buildings,
but were Of no avail. At the most,
everything movable was taken out.
Three horses belonging to Grant East
in, were burned. The buildings burn
ed were, the livery barn and grain
room belonging to Frank Long and
N. Atcheson, valued at 81 500, insur-
ance, $500. Building belonging to A.
Coolgan, occupied by G. s. Eastman as
a law Office, valued at $500. Store
building Of Colgman, valued at 81 200.
No insurance on either. Two store
buildings Of Sam Moses, occupied by
E. A. Blunck, as a saloon and John
Brown, as a grain store, valued at
81, 800 and insured for $500. The
wind was blowing stormy from the
east, but by the continued application
Of water and the providential ,nterfer-
ence Of snow covered roofs the west
side Of the street was saved. The to-
tai loss is estimated at about 5000
and it is the universal opinion that
the fire was the work OF some incen.
diary.
