WILL SMITHS STORY.
How the Robbers Were Tracked to Samr
Flat.

How the Robbers Were Tracked to Samp-
Flat.
VIsALIA, Sept. I6 Detective Win Smith
was interviewed here by Delta reporter
before returning TO the mountains and told
the following story Of the tragedy at Samp-
son Flat. On the whole, the story is hardly
so creditablc to Smith as was that other
story about his first attempt to capture the
bandits
"On last Saturday we found trail of the
robbers at Sampson Fiat, 800 yards from
Clark Moore's house, and followed same TO
Crabtree's house, near flume ON Kings River.
Crabtree had not seen them, as he had just
returned from the flume. | was very much
surprised to see Clark Moore walk into
CTabtree'S house ten minutes later, as our
posse had passed him the day before twenty
five miles away and he was en- route to Vi
salia with one-horse rig. We saw him at
IL o'clock at CrabtTee's house.
The following morning the Indians
back-trscked Moore into Evans aud Son.
tags camp, a half mile east of Crabtree's
on the creek. The camp was about eight
feet square. In which was bedding and
copies of newspapers containing accounts
OF several pursuits.
'The camp commanded a good view OF the
trail, and was situated in brush, so that it
could not be seen from the trail. From
there the Indians trailed them to Sampson
rat. On arriving at COUe6'S mouse our
posse was again surprised at finding Clark
Moore there; he was last seen at Crabtree's.
he hailed me and said: Come on, Mr..
Smith no danger here The posse searched
the house and found that Evans and SOntag
had left, and some of the men accused
Moore OF furnishing information of the
posses movements. and he would not deny
that he was at Evans and Sontag's camp.
Coffee said he had just returned from Dun
lap postGflice for mail. Moore cOrroborated
the statement The posse left Moore at
COffee's house and rode to John HowelPs,
where Evans and Sontag had left Ellis
horse and cart, and asked him if he had any
recent news of the outlaws. He replied.
No.
''At Dunlap we heard that Mrs. Evans
and young man named Henry Hunt,
relative Of the Eyanses, were at Howelps.
Mrs. Evans at several points on the road
made herself known as Mrs Hunt. That
night the posse was taken within two miles
OF H0wePs place IN a lumber wagon, ex-
pecting Evans TO meet his wife there. After
getting out of the wagon we heard rifle
shot in the direction of Dunlap. which was
construed as q signal to Evans that the
coast was not clear. The party kept watch
all night. but saw no sign of Evans or Sop-
Tag. In the morning an interview was had
with Mrs. Evans and Hunt. Mrs. Evans
would not state the object of her trip and
Hunt pleaded ignorance. Mrs. Evans said
that II the men would be captured or killed
several OF the officers would be killed also.
and that Evans had been accused conjointly
with S0ntag of committing train robbery,
OF which he was not guilty"

SANITARY PRECAUTIONS.

Rigid Quarantine Rules.


Rigid Quarantine Rules.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, Sept. 16-The State
Board of Health has decided to establish a
quarantine against all Eastern cities as soon
as possible. not later than next Sunday.
No immigrant will be allowed to come into
the State unless he has q clean bill Of
health from the national authorities or the
local officers of the port of entry. Other

tined.
New YORK. Sept 16-A Philadelphia
special says: Two million dollars worth of
German beet-r0ot sugar is in quarantine at
Delaware Breakwater The Board Of
Health has not yet decided to pass it up.
OTTAWA, Ont, Sept 16.-Tbe Govern
ment has been apprised Of the arrival at
Quebec of a number of immigrants from
Europe with through tickets for the United
states. The railway companies abso-
lutely refuse to allow ths immi-
grants to board their trains, and the
Immigrants are simply stranded in
the provincial capital. They want to take
possession of the Federal immigration
buildings, but the Government requires
these buildings for Canadian immgRnts,
hence the foreign bound arrivals are thrown
on their own resources. The difficulty will
probably only be solved by the steamship
companies taking these people back to Eu-
rope.
