A special to toe Bee from Douglass,

is quite evident that all press tele.
grams from Buffalo are in measure
controlled by local feeling. The bulk
OF the matter sent out is probably
true, but only portion Of the facts
are told.
Three members OF the cat.lemen's
party were killed at ct. a." ranch,
where the regulators were besieged,
and another was shot down while q
surrender was being arranged under q
flag OF truce. The three men killed
were Texans, who were shot IN pass
ing from the improvised walk to q
cellar few yards distant, where the
party kept supplies.
A man named Linvell passed
through Douglass en- route to Chey-
enue. He says he was at the T. A.
ranch two days after the surrender
OF the invaders and saw the bodies OF
these three men lying on the ground.
He did not dare to examine them,
but was close enough to make sure
they were dead men who had probab.

when the party surrendered and had
been allowed to lay there eyer since.

SEVERE CUTS AND BRUISES.
Several persons had a narrow
escape from injury.
Dixon and Winter, towns OF about
one thousand inhabitants. located
respectively northeast and northwest
OF Vacavllle and within few miles OF
the latter place, We're also scenes of
considerable destruction. The Ma,
sonic Hall at Dixon, q two.story
brick block, was ruined and It's falling
walls shattered the two adjoining
houses. A fire which broke out among
the ruins caused some damage at
Winters. The house OF John Thlffet,
between Vacavllle and Winter, was
destroyed by fire caused by an over.
turned lamp, the occupants barely
escaping with their lives. At Winter
the inhabitants were for time panic
stricken, owing to the severity OF the
shock. Forty guests were in the two.
story Bliss Hotel at Winter, the walls
of which collapsed and the fact that
no one was injured by the caving OF
the walls was remarkable. Old and
new brick schoolhouses and several
new brick buildings in Winter were
cracked and wrenched from their
foundations. The banks of Putah
creek caved in and assures opened in
the bottom of the creek. Three miles
west OF the town an acre OF ground
slid into the creek, and
SMALL. FlssUREs
were made in the county road. Sever.
al great boulders were thrown from
the hillsides at q point on the Berry
esso road near Winter, blocking the
roadway. Considerable damage was
done to isolated farm buildings, but
no serious personal injuries are re.
ported.
The town of Monticello, Is miles
from Winter, was first reported totally
demolished, but g gentleman arrived
from there on the next day and re
ported the damage nominal. Tne
losses at Vacaville, owning to the
destruction OF buildings and other
property are estimated at $lOO,OOO;
at Dixon, $4,000, and at Winter
nearly 100000. Elmira, Fairfield,
Santa Rosa, Woodland, Davisville
and Benicia report windows and
crockery broken and q number CT
chimneys overturned. Some 80 or 40
towns report trihing damages, though
all accounts agree in placing the in.
tensity of the shock as greater than
of any in recent years.
The number of shocks felt differed at
various places. At some points only
one shock was registered while ut 9th
ers two or even more occurred. The
vibrations extended from north to
south and from east to west. The
single shock is generally described as
being most intense, vibrations here
more than one shock occurred being
confused. The property loss will prob.
ably reach 81 100000.

CARTER is THE MAN. :

The Well-KnOwn Montana Republican
Made Chairman Of the National Com
mittee.
New York, July 1s.-There were
many well-known republicans congre-
gated at the Fifth Avenue hotel
as early as 8 o'clock a. m.
Saturday to attend the meeting
of the executive committee of the re-
publican national committee, which
was called for II o'clock. The secre-
tary called the meeting to order. VIM.
A. Sutherland, of Rochester, was
made temporary chairman. and White
law Reid was called in consultation by
the committee. Mr.. Campbell's resigna-
ton was accepted and recess was
taken before 1 O'Clock for two hours,
no choice of chairman having been
made.
On reassembling Thomas II. Carter,
of Montana, the present secretary, was
elected chairman of the committee.
The executive committee appointed a
temporary secretary in Mr. Carriers
place, but gave him the privilege of se-
lecting at his leisure his own man for
secretary. 1t is believed that either
ex-Representative McComas, of Mary
land; Chris Magee, of Pennsylvania, or
WilliamO o. Bradley, of Kentucky, may
be prevailed upon to accept the secre-
taryship. Meanwhile James r. Burke.
president of the national republican
