NisAI'A-Evans aD1 S0ntag, the Collis train robbers, were at Evans house at IF o'clock last night, and after eating suppe. went 10 the harm. Five or six men standing guard dis covered the team in the barn lot, not having seen them come in. Undoub.- edly they returned to secure the hid den coin, as hole filled with fresh dirt was found in the barn.
 About 20 a. m. Deputy Sheriff Oscar Beaver, who was helping to guard inc place, saw the men at the barn and opened fire. Shots were re- turned by the robbers, wounding Beaver so that he died at o'clock yesterday morning. Fifteen shots were exchanged, Beaver firing eight. Some of his shots wounded the horses so that one had to be killed.
 While the members of the guard were attending Beaver, the robbers escaped about ? o'clock, on foot, and went in a northerly direction, and three miles from town tried to borrow horses from an acquaintance. The officers in pursuit traced the men four miles northeast, where they entered field. The pursuers' horses gave out and they returned to town, Twenty or thirty men then started in pursuit on horseback.
 | FIsALIA-Evans, the fugitive train robber, is said to have stated to one man on Thursday. accounting for his plentitude of money, that he had sold his mine and received part payment. It will be recollected that on Tuesday before the train robbery John Sontag, when hiring team, said he and Evans were going to the mountains. The | team was brought back to the stable Thursday noon, looking sleek and fresh. It is about sixty miles from Visalia to Cullis, and that drive could be made from the time of the robbery to noon Thursday, without jading the horses. Had the team been to the mountains they would have shown hard work. Sheriff Cunningham slates that there is no doubt that the men committed most of the train rob- berries that have occurred in the vicin. iiy. Excitement is high here, and the men will be hanged if taken alive. They can hardly escape as all the thoroughfares are guarded.
 WAsHNGToS-Th president, before leaving for Loon lake, selected five delegates to represent this country in the international monetary confer ence, but their names have not been announced. Senator Jones, of Nevada, is known to be one and the list will probably include H. w. Cannon of New York, F. F.A.Walker, of Massachu- setts, ex-Senator Hill of Colorado, and Senator Carlisle, of Kentucky.
 BUzzARDs BAY-Cleyeland was not favored with call from Senator Hill today, as was anticipated by some. The yacht Fra Diavola was seen down the bay headed for Newport, which dispels all idea of the meeting of the two leaders.
