NEVADA, CAL, Sept. Nv. S. Gala
votti, superintendent of the Derbec
Drift mine was murdered by highway
men this morning while coming to the
srity with $4,000 in gold bars just cleaned
mp at the mine. Galavotti and j. d
Dstrum were in two-horse buggy as
cending the south Yuba grade, six miles
from the city, when a rifle shot was
fired from the bank above, and Galavotti
fell dead. Ostrum struck the horses
with the whip, urging them into a run
up the steep grade just as a second
shot was fred. The bullet entered the
neck of one of the horses, but the turn
in the road soon took the team out of
range of the shooters. He continued to
force the team up the grade, holding his
companions dead body in the vehicle
with one arm and being soaked from
head to foot with his life blood. Reach
ing the Mount Vernon house, Ostrum
left Galavotti's body and hid the bull
lion in the brush. Then be rode to this
city to notify the officers. A wagon
went out after the dead superintendent's
body and several squads OF armed men
started Immediately for the scene of the
murder.
The wagon brought in Galavotti's
body this afternoon. The ball entered
his face at the left hand side of the
nose, and he died instantly. Ostrom
saws he first thought Galavotti's own
sgun had been discharged accidentally,
SO close was the shot fired. Ostrom
seized the lifeless body just in time to
ssave it from going out of the buggy,
then struck the horses to get out OF
danger. They sprang forward just as
the second shot, which struck one OF
them in the neck, was fired. Gala
votti's rifle and hat fell to the groundas
the team ran up the hill like mad, and
the blood from the wounded horse COW
cred the other horse at every jump.
pOstrom neither saw nor heard the rob-
bers, who are generally believed to have
been two in nvmber, although Ostrom
thinks there was but one. The gold bar
was brought in this afternoon. 1t con-
tains little less than $4,000, being the
semi-monthly cleanup.
Galavotti was one of the best gravel
aniners in the state. He leaves a wife,
but no children. Scores of men are

country in all directions, but as the ter
ritory is rugged and heavily timbered
and cut up with innumerable ravines
there is but little prospect of capturing
the criminals.
Later-Searcher returning from the
scene of the robbery report the finding
of one mans track, leading from clump
of brush on the hill where the shots
were fred. A 45-calibre cartridge shell
was also found there. One party that
took the trail claims 10 have followed it
to North Bloomfield, and thinks they
have the culprit spotted. Most of the
circumstances now go to show that
there was but one highwayman. The
Derbee company offers $1,000 reward for
the apprehension of the criminal, in ad-
dition to the states standing reward of
$500 for each highwayman.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. lit was
learned here today that the syndicate
which for nearly two years controlled a
large block of Reading railroad stock,

OF the syndicate.
New York, Sept. 1.-THE Post in its
financial article says: "The following
official statement was made this morn
ing: The Reading syndicate formally
dissolved yesterday by vote of two
thirds of its members. The syndicate
was originally formed with the idea of
controlling the property absolutely. 1t
held, however, only 250, 900 shares while
nearly 400, 900 shares are necessary to
control. The syndicate was composed
OF about twelve members, and all these
except one have joined in the agreement
for dissolution. He has not yet signed,
and represents only small amount OF
stock -

UNITED IN DEATH.
A Sensational Double Tragedy Enacted
at Woodland.


WOODLAND, CAL, Sept. 1.-THE life
less bodies of Miss May Adams and j.
w. Montgomery were discovered this
morning living in the yard of small res
idence on College street. A vial labeled
sspoison," also Smith & Wesson revol-
yer was found near by. An investiga-
ton showed that Montgomery that Miss
Adams in the left temple, then fred
shot through his own brain. Miss
Adams was the daughter of Hon. L. B.
Adams, who represented this county two
terms in the legislature. Montgomery
was the son of Judge Montgomery OF
Stockton. The supposition is that the
murder and suicide resulted from the
refusal of the lady's parents to permit
the young couples marriage. The
cor 1ner has taken charge of the
bodies and will hold an inquest
on Friday next. A letter found on
Montgomery, addressed ITO the Pub
lic," is in the hands of the coroner, but
has not been opened.
STOCKTON, Sept. wv. S. Montgom-
erv, father Of the young man who sui
cided at Woodland, left here this morn
ing for Woodland. He is boarder at
the asylum here, and, though regularly
an editorial writer for several journals,
and was a prominent lawyer here many
years ago, but has been out OF practice a
long time, and is perfectly contented to
remain in the asylum with his books
and papers.
Later.-The coroner is tonight holding
an inquest on the bodies. No new facts
have been ELECTED, except letters left by
Montgomery and Miss Adams. Both
letters are dated September 18th. and
Montgomery's says be was compelled by
force of circumstances to commit
an act OF violence against himself
and wife, or vice versa as they
were to pull straws that night. With
the letters were also found marriage
contract. Miss Adams's letter to her
mother stated that she and Montgomery
were married, but they were not happy
because of her fathers interference, and
that this act was all her fault.

A NARROW ESCAPE.
An Accident That Nearly Cost Five Men
Their Lives.

VIRGINIA CRY, Nev., Sept. 17.-This
morning the cross head of the pump
engine of the Alta mine broke. In con-
sequence the pump rod broke at the
surface, and going down the shaft, car
ried everything with it to the water
level. Five men in the opening station
on the 1200-foot level were at first sup
posed to have been killed, but within a
short time signals were received, and
this afternoon the men arrived safe at
the surface. Their names are John
Moran, Tim O'Connel, James Mulhol-
land, Sam Hunt and Tim Driscoll. They
were in station IS, and being alarmed by
the noise OF the falling material, ran to
the back OF the station, where they were
safe. Part OF the shaft is a wreck, but
the damage can be repaired for less
than $4,000. Tanks will be at once put
in and the water will be held until the
pump is repaired, which will be in
about ten DAYS.
