in Running Away.
FRESNO, Sept. 21.-Constable Warren
Hill OF Sanger. who was one of the posse
attacked by Evans and Sontag at Sampson
Flat. arrived in Fresno to-day. He thinks
that the robbers are again at the Flat. aud
that they intend staying there. The officers
have found no trace of the robbers ON the
trails, and they must be travelling through
the brush. Hill says they could remain in
the Flat indefinitely without being found,
and would not lack provisions, being sup
piled by friends.
The officers have found no campfires In
their search, so it is certain that the robbers
have never found it necessary to cook any
food.
1t will be remembered that HIPS horse
was shot at the time of the tragedy. He
says that he was in the direct line with the
bullet, and that the horse alone saved him.
he also laughs at Burke's story of how
bravely that officer conducted himself. No
cartridge-shelis could be found where
Burke stood, and it is almost certain that
he never fired shot. He ran off in the
very beginning and could not be found
again that day until p NJ.
The Indians only fired one shot. They
were unfamiliar with the working OF the
Winchesters and could not manage them.
Hill Will return TO the mountains to-mor-
row morning with two determined men and
resume the chase on his own account.

that they need not leave il at all unless they

with excellent hiding-places. and 1t will
take a small army to get them out or capture
them.
They have every advantage over their
pursuers, and from the thick brush which
covers the whole country they can shoot
their pursuers and escape whenever they
are hard pressed
Last April and Nav they carried large
quantities OF rations into Sampson Flat. and
it was the remark then that their mines
must be paying and that they must be pre-
pairing to work them more extensively. 1t
is now thought that this supply of food
was hidden in the rocks for just such
state of affairs as now exists. They
carried enough in there then to last
them year or more. and can no doubt go to
the places where it is hidden and help them
selves when they need new supply of food.
If this is the case there seems to be very
little likelihood of their being starved into
capture.
The country that they can roam over is
very rugged and is covered with q den Sc
jungle of brush, and it is about fifteen
miles long by eight wide. Except along
few trails there is no way to follow them
excepting on foot, creeping and crawling
beneath the brush. In a chase like this
they would have all the advantage over
their pursuers, and, II Indians persisted In
searching out their tracks, there can be but
little doubt that they would hide behind
some ledge or in some deep thicket and
shoot the Indians and escape into the rocks
or jungle.
From all this it seems that the chase is far
from being over vet.
