% Cuiontown. The business men
realize the value Of this territory to
them in the event the road is built, and
they are anxious for its construction,

the route through this place is what the

being made has already, we are In

Mexican Custom House Guards Inter-
cept an Informer.
TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 8.-Advices from
Bisbee say: cat a station ON the Bis
bee railroad few miles below this
place, and several miles north of the
Sonora line, four Mexican custom house
guards surrounded the station and cap
tured another Mexican, who had been,
but few months previous, chief of the
Mexican guards. He was on his way
to the City of Mexico, and had with him
a trunk which the invaders took posses
sion of. He refused to give up the key
OF the trunk, although threats against
his life were made. They then pro-
cured an axe and broke the trunk
open. They took from it bundle Of
documents and hastily departed for
their own country. The victim refuses
to say anything regarding the purport
OF the papers seized, but from another
source it is learned that they contained
damaging testimony against the cue-
toms officials stationed in Sonora, and
that had he reached his destination
with them, 1t is believed wholesale ar.
rests woAld have speedily followed. A
telegram was sent to the commander al
Fort Huachuca, but he was unable to
act in the matter. The matter has been

VIsALIA, Aug. 8.-A report was re-
ceived here shortly before 8 o'clock this
evening, that Evans and Sontag, the
train robbers, had returned from the
mountains, and driven up to Evans's
house, near town. Officers are now on
their way there.
LID. Whit, a neighbor of the Evans
family, saw team drive into Evans'f
barn near town, at $3.50 tonight. He
believes the occupants were Evans and
Sontag, the escaped robbers. He imme-
diately sent boy to town to in.
form the officers, and 100 men
were soon surrounding the place,
Sheriff Kay stationed men at ell
roads and in fields. There was no near
approach made to the barn, but a team
was sent to town to bring out Frank
Byrd, brother-in-law of Evans, and have
him 60 into the house, but he refused,
saying Evans or Sontag would kill him
as quick as anyone.
When the Associated Press reporter
left the scene at 10 o'clock, the question
of getting the Evans family out Of the
house was being discussed. When the
family are out of the way, the barn will
be fred, and the house also, II necessary.
Sheriff Kay received word today that
Evans had bought team from party
on Sand creek, sixteen or eighteen miles
from the city. The man who saw q
team 60 into the barn is reliable. Men
have been sent to town for more guns
and ammunition. The officers are not
positive yet that the men are in the
barn, but they state they are not at all
surprised at the news that the bandits
had returned. They intimate that they
had expected such move on the part
of the robbers.
About IL o'clock Sheriff Kay awak-
ened Mrs. Evans and asked if Evans
was there. She replied that he was
not, and she got up from her bed and
accompanied Kay to the barn with q
lighted candle in her hand. At the barn
door she hesitated a mouent, then en-
tered the barn. There was no siKn sot n
wagon or men. ase.F

New YORK, Aug. S.--Julius Harburg-
er, grand master of the Independent
Order of Free Sons Of Israel, in address,
ing meeting of the order here today,
said among other things: "In 1880,
when the religious crusades in Rou-
mania and imperial Russia took place
against the Hebrews. emigration
numbering thousands set in to-
wards the American shores. With
the yearly increase, a number of
anarchists and nihilists, made 60
through brutal governments, came over
with these unfortunates and preached
their damnable and 'pernicioua doc
trines. They had forgotten the essence
OF the teachings of their fathers, that
Judaism is religion of law and order.
The dastardly and cowardly attempt of
Russian nihilist, dynamiter and an
arcbist upon the life of the manager Of
the Carnegie works at Homestead, has
shown the effect of the pernicious doc
trines that have been inculcated in the
minds OF many of those aliens who
land ON our shores without the first
conception of the duties of an American
citizen and the liberty afforded to every
individual under our form of govern
ment. am in favor Of rigidly enforcing
the return of all immigrants who are
known to be nihilists, dynamiters and
anarchists. Our flag is broad enough to
embrace men of all creeds. colors and
nationalities, but when they come here
with the torch and sword, we have no
room for them. As we guard our ports
against cholera and disease. so we
should ward off the approach OF moral
eontagion or political disease"

Wounded.

The Robbers Shot at and One Of them
wounded.
VIsALIA, CAL, Aug. 8.-The men who
returned last night close-mouthed, were
more communicative today. The eshoot-
ing at the robbers reported yesterday is
confirmed by the two men who did it.
Their story ia that they followed the
trail of the mule and cart to Niger
creek, twenty-five miles east of the city.
The trail finally turned back toward
town. Soon they saw the mule hitched
to a tree 100 yards from the road, in a
deep cafion. Here they waited until
they heard the voice of man calling to
another. Finally man approached the
cart and struck match to light cigar
or pipe. Two shots were fred at this
man with Winchester rife; then
the man in the cafion made for
the brush. This shooting took place
at o'clock Saturday night. AS the
two men were alone they waited for
help which did not arrive until next
morning. The shooters claim to have
found blood in the cafion and think
they made flesh wound on the man
they fired at. They say the robbers.
after the shooting, went to the horses
they had staked in the brush, 200 yards
away, and rode off toward Wilcox canon.
They further claim to have found the
footprints of horses the next morning on
the trail. This statement is not verified
by the party, who arrived on the ground
Saturday morning. The majority OF
those returning acknowledge that the
trail of the robbers was lost.
from the fact that the pursued
had got among the rocks, where no foot
prints were left. There is high noun
tain north of Niger creek, and once on
top of it the robbers could see two or
three roads leading to the mountains,
and along which the pursuers have to
! travel.
During the daytime, the robbers could
see over the plains for six or eight
miles. and the dust raised on the
roads by travellers would be plainly
visible. Water is handy and q supply
for day could be obtained at night. 1t
is not likely that the robbers could es-
| cape east across the mountains ae
all the roads are still guarded
since Friday night. There is possibil-
ity, however, that they could take the
back track and gain the coast range, by
travelling at night.
1t is now thought that the robbers &c.
cured no more than $2300 by the train
robbery, leaving the two men no more
than 5000 each to escape with, as they
paid number of debts here.
Sheriff Kay is confident the robbers
will be captured, though it may be sew
eral days hence. He starts for thu
mountains tonight with twenty-five
picke d men, well provided with provi
aiona.

The contract calls for two chips OF
IL 900 tons each, but it is understood
three such vessels are contracted for.
Dallett said further: "J do not see
how congress can admit Captain Wat
kins, of the City OF Paris, to naturaliza-
ton, except by a special bill. I5would
certainly be very9wrong to admit foreign
vessels to American registry, and at the
same time have them officered by Eng

THE STATE AFFAIR.
It Promises to Eclipse All Former Cali
fornia Exhibitions.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 8.-The state board
of agriculture held meeting tonight to
make final arrangements for the state
fair. The bosrd is overwhelmed with
applications for space, at both park and
pavilion. The demand for stall room is
already 80 great that the directors do
not see their way clear to accommodate
all the applicants. Palo Alto alone asks
for twenty stalls. The directors are
greatly impressed with the magnitude
of the historical exhibit, and will have
to erect an immense temporary build
ing near the pavilion, to contain all the
articles promised for that department.
The city trustees today granted the re-
quest of the Southern Pacific company
to lay temporary track to the pavilion,
on which to move old-time and modern
locomotives and passenger coaches.
Everything points to the greatest exhi-
bition ever held in the state.

CHICAGO, Aug. 8.--The Democratic
state central committee met here today
and decided not to open the campaign
in Illinois until September, although
the Republicans will open the fight
August 18th. The proposition to invite
Grover Cleveland to visit the state did
not find favor with the party leaders,
most of them believing the educational
question and other state issues offered
greater opportunities of success, and
made it advisable not to take any action
which would tend to divide the Illinois
voters on strict party lines this fall.
