SANTA Rosa. May George w. Bruggy
the condemned murderer, who escaped
from Jail on Sunday night with a man
named Frenchy, was cartured this after
noon in a canyon on Keys ranch, near
Windsor, by County Auditor Gill P. Hall
and ex-Deputy Sheriff Hy Groshong. the
whereabouts of the escapes was first de.
tected by man named Leslie, who while
driving to town this morning observed a
column of smoke rising out of the canyon as
though somebody was in camp there. Les
lie, as was everybody else in this region,
had been much excited by the escape of the
condemned murderer, and he at once con-
ceived the idea that he had come upon the
camp of the outlaws. Leaving his team in
the road be crept through the underbrush
toward the smoke until he had approached
near enough to recognize Br1ggy's voice, he
having formerly known tie murderer Re-
turning to his team Leslie drove mmedi-
ately to town. Arriving here he told his
friend Mr.. p ool, who is Mr.. .HalPs deputy.
and when Mr.. Hall learned of the near
presence of Bruggy he determined TO cap
ture the latter. Accordingly he and Gro
shong. who is well known as thieftaker,
started out at noon, and when they found
the escapes the latter were still In the can
yon. Hall and Groshong got the drop with

up peaceably. Bruggy laughed about his
capture and said that the reason he did not
go farther was because his feet were tender
and had become sore. He had made no at
tempt at disguise. wearing the same cloth
Ing he had worn when lie broke Jail.
The presence of Bruggy and his CON-
panion in the vicinity of the Keys ranch
was first suspected by woodch0pper
named Hall, whose cabin had been SYSTEM
atically robbed of all the edibes it con-
tanned for several days past Hall told his
employer. Leslie, OF his suspicious, and the
two men were making an investigation as
to their truth when Leslie saw the smoke
from the campfire Of the escapes rising
through the trees and underbrush in the
gulch. Leslie went close enough To satisfy
himself that 1t was really BFuggy's camp
and then brought the information to town.
He told the Sheriff about the presence of
the men there first, but advised that no at
tempt be made to effect a capture in the
day time, the outlaws having the advantage
of the ground. Hall and Garshong. learn
ing that Bruggy had been located, deter
mined to go out before night and effect
capture, thus getting ahead of the officers.

NEW YORK, May g. The Telegram's
WashiDgton's special says: Flowers name
will surely be presented to the Democratic
national convention as a Presidential can-
didate. A carefully prepared interview
with Hill, printed in several New York
papers yesterday, in which the Senator
praises Flower, Is taken TO mean that
Flower IS now HIPS candidate for Presi-
dent. Hill might have taken German, but
he thinks the Maryland Senator treated him
badly, so he yielded to the pressure OF Muir
ply and Sheehan and concluded to demand
the nomination Of Flower. The programme
is HIPS withdrawal for the sake Of har-
moBy and the presentation OF Flower by
the New York delegation. which. II is be-
lieyed, will appear so fair proposition that
a great many delegates who are for Cleve-
land will compromise on Flower Tor the
sake Of harmony.

CHICAGO is FLOODED.
The Little River Running Ten Mile Current
Into Lake Michigan.

CHICAGO, May 5.-0wing to heavy rains
within the past few days throughout the
Middle States. the Illinois River to-day
overfowed its banks, and caused many
washouts along the lines OF the Alton, Rock
Island and Santa Fe roads, seriously inter-
fering with traffic. In the neighborhO0d of
Joliet and Lockport there have been wash
outs on all three roads. and neither pas
senger nor freight trains could reach this
city. Dispatches from these and many
points report much minor damage by the
foods All streams are out of their banks
and the country for a long distance has the
appearance of lake. The greatest damage
is in the Illinois River Valley. In Chicago
and its suburbs, also, there has been much
inconvenience. The streets in the suburban
towns are in many Instances flooded, as we'll
as the Easements of houses, and in some
of the lower lying districts people are
going around in boats. In the city
proper many Easements are flOoded, the
sewers being chOked and the flood water
backing up. Part of the fire depart
ment was engaged to-day in pumping
water from the lower portions Of buildings.
The Chicago River is higher than for 10
years and is flowing into the lake with
current of 10 miles an hour, the result being
that the city's water supply is again being
polluted by sewage. The swiftnpss of the
current in the river has rendered the NOV
ing of vessels extremely difficult, aud two
or three had serious collisions with the
bridges

TROUBLE AHEAD.

all Europe Excited Over the Ministerial
Crisis in Italy.
ROME, May 5.-The Italian Ministry has
been overthrown by the Chamber of Depu-
ties. Since the first day of the session Italy,
overburdened by army expenditures, has
had no further use for the Triple Alliance.
King Humbert. who is bound by promise
made to Germany, has not been able to see
his way out of really inextricable position
unless he has the courage to break
off the Triple Alliance. The Italian
crisis is very sudden and throws
politicians all over Europe into excite.
ment, as they understand that the situation
Is growing more and more strained. At the
time of the last Italian crisis Emperor
William asked King Humbert to hold to the
Triple Alliance only until the end of sum
mer. The return of Crispi to power is i'm
possible In any case.

DOUGLAS, Wyo.. May 5.-A decided SEN
sation was created here this morning by the
sudden disappearance Of the only known
witnesses against the cattlemen who are
now prisoners at Fort Russell. Just before
the invaders attacked the * c" ranch,
they captured two trapperS named Jones
and Walker, who we're held prisoners until
Champion and Ray were killed. and then re-
leased. Both made their way TO Casper,
and on Wednesday last were brought here
and placed in charge OF Deputy Sheriff
KimbalI. The men claimed that they
witnessed the killing of Champion and
Ray, ard, as a matter Of fact, are the only
living witnesses who can testify positively
against the regulators on the charge Of mur-
der. kimDalI went to Glen Rock last night,
leaving q deputy in charge, and when be
returned this morning Jones and Walker
had disappeared. The men were allowed
to run about town during the day and slept
in the Office OF the Jail. Both came in late
last night, apparently pretty drunk, and
about midnight went out 'f0r a walk"
leaving the deputy asleep. Search was
made for them and kilograms sent in all
directions, but no clew as to their where

Address by the Alliance Conference De-
filming Its Political Position.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May 5.-While the
majority of the members Of the Alliance
conference. which adjourned yesterday,
favor enforcing their demands through the
Peoples party, an element was developed
which opposed any action which would ap-
pear like interference with members right
to vote the Democratic ticket il he wished
TO. The result of the deliberations Is an ad-
dress issued 10 the order by the presidents
and executive officers in the Southern
States, together with members OF the ma
tiOnal executive committee. the national
legislative committee, the national judiciary
committee and President Polk.
After expressing high hope and eneouT-
agement, the manifesto cOngratulates tile
order upon the harmony and the unity of
sentiment regarding Alliance principles,
and says the sentiment prevails that the
organization must be perpetuated entirely
free from partisan entanglements. Rules Of
action are suggested as calculated 10 enable
the order to go through the campaign and
come out strengthened and purified. The
rules call for spirit OF harmony and unity
of action, and fealty 10 the principles of the
order, and recte the fact that the member
ship OF the order does not interfere with the
political or religious liberty Of member,
and therefore the organization or branch
has no right TO take partisan, political or
sectarian or religious action, but urges that
all honorable means be used to secure the
election of men TO the National Legislative
Council, men who stand pledged to work
for the passage OF laws based upon the de-
mands Of the Alliance. The address closes
with an eXhortatlon to the members TO re-
member that devotion to the principles of
the Alliance can only be emphasized and
their influence made effective by voting for
their demands at the ballOt-box. The adj
dress is signed by all members Of the coun-
ellis.
