-Thoy VIII DO Shot on Sight.
FRESNO, Cal, Sept IA posse en-
countered Evans and Sontag mt Samp-
son Flats yesterday and an exchange o:
shots took place. The robbers made q

and wounded others
Those killed are United States Mar

George Witty, who wounded before,

Additional information concerning

and the posse has been obtained by tel
ephone from Moore & Smiths mill mt
Sequoia. The affair happened on
Young's place ut Sampson Flat
The posse had tracked the robbers
from Dunlap to Sampson Flats, about
forty five miles east of here in the
mountains. The posse was coming
down the trail, and when opposite
Young's house the door was violently
thrown open and Evans and Sontag APP
pcared. Before the officers could re-
cover from their surprise the two rob
beers opened deadly fire on the posse
with their guns and Winchcsters.
The posse was so demoralized by the
sudden attack that they could make no
efYcctual resistance. -Four men fell un-
der the deadly fire Of the robbers.
Immediately afterwards the robbers
ESCAPED. The whole country in the
neighborhood of the encounter is
aroused. and it is said no further at
tempt to take the robbers alive will be

A Negro Hanged for Attempting an Out
rage.
HARMED. Kan, Sept. 15.-Hugh Henry,
alias Brock, the negro fiend who made
n desperate attempt to outrage
Miss Mabel WEIGH, was captured Mt
noon twelve miles west of here, brought
back and hanged to n telegraph pole.
Monday night tho negro, who had
been gambling and drinking in Lon
Eppers dive, left there pennilcss and
started out to seek place to sleep,
According to his own lily constructed
story, the window opening into the
room of Miss Welsh was open and he
climbed in. This was about $3.50 o'clock
Tuesday morning when the streets
were wholly deserted. Then began
battle for life and honor by the young
woman. The fiend held knife in his
teeth and she made desperate effort
to get it in her possession. In the at
tempt her hands were cut frightfully
and she was soon compelled to give up
the unequal contest. With the knife
in one hand and the other ut her throat,
the wretch declared if she made an out
cry he would kill her. Still she fought
silently and successfully.
About noon, near the old Lawrence
bridge, twelve miles west OF Larned,
the wretch was found asleep He was
awakened 10y his pursuers and upon be-
ing confronted with his crime and the
evidence, confessed his guilt. He was
brought back to Larncd and given into
the custody of Sheriff Thorp, who
placed him in Jail.
As the electric light whistle gave the
hour Of IL, recruits went into the cleo
trio pewer house block in squads OF
twelve and fifteen and at 1918, fifty de-
tcrmined men. under good leadership,
advanced. The attack ON the Jail was
begun ut 1880 and at ITO q. IN. the
leaders of the mob were i'll the brute S
cell and had adjusted the rope about his
neck.
The wretch was then marched beyond
the mineral lake to the railroad bridge,
three-uuarters of mile west OF the
Santa Fe depot the rope thrown over
the crosspiece of telegraph pole and
at 1:45 the body was swung into eter-
nifty.
The negros aged mother lives one
and half miles northwest of Jetmore
in Hodgeman county. He was given a
hearing in Jetmore for similar otfens e
few weeks ago and was under bond
for his appearance.

CADDo. ]. T., Sept. l4.-News has
reached here that seven men had been
murdered since Sunday morning in the
Choctaw nation, incidental to the POI
litical war feeling. 1t is learned that
the worst has not come yet. Among
the number reported killed is Hon.

taw nation. Gov. Jones came to town
and wired for United States Indian
Agent Leo Bennetti who came in on u
freight train at d o'clock last evening,
and was in consultation with Gov. Jones,
Lieut.. Gov. j. II. Bryant, Senator
Hodges, National Agent Wright and u
number of prominent Indians. What
they have decided on has not been made
public. Agent Bennett suggested that
he call out troop OF United States
cavalry to arrest all parties engaged in
the riot and to keep the troops in
readiness to go To the national council
meeting when the governor is to take
his seat 1t seems that plot has been
laid to kill all the prominent Indians
on the Jones side, each squad of assas-
sins to have its own county to work in.
The men in Gaines county have carried
out their Instructions As the other
men have not carried out their part OF
the plot the leaders appear to be per-
picked and don't know what to do.
They are to have another secret meet
ing ut Antlers on September Fl, for
what purpose is only known to them
selves. Gov. Jones sent twelve armed
men from this place to the seat of trou-

MRS. HARRIsoN's CONDITION,
said to Be Suffering from Malignant
Abscess.

Sutu TO DC -
Abscess.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 14.-tricndS OF
the presidential household are much
alarmed over the latest reports from
Loon lake in reference to Mrs. Harri-
SONS condition. She is said to be suf-
fering with the same ailmcnt that re-
suited in the death of her sister, Mrs
Scott Lord. A friend of the family said
yesterday:
"Mrs. Harrison is believed to be suf-
fering from malignant pelvic abscess
and it has been known ever since the
disease developed that little hope exist
ed for her recovery. The serious nature
of the lady's illness has been fully real
lied from the first, but her true condi-
ton has not been made public because
it was desired to keep from her the true
facts"
The president has been exceedingly
anxious from the outset and the long
drawn out session of congress, after he
had made all preparations TO hasten to
the bed ids OF his suffering wife, told
upon him tr;ghtfully. Relatives Of the
family here and in Indiana are pre-
pared for the worst news ut any mo-
ment.
1t is understood that the president
will return to Washington on Friday
next Mrs Harrison will accompany
him If she is able to travel. She will
not remain in Washington, but will go
south Tor the winter
