THE sToCKMAN's STORY.

FRESNO, Oct. 12.-The story told by Mr..
Tretton of his meeting with the bandits is
plain enough, He stated to yonr corTespon-
dent that ON Thursday. October 6. he had
been out all the morning looking for some
of hls,stock, which had strayed away into
the mountains.
He was returning home from the range at
about o'clock In the afternoon, when he
was somewhat surprised 10 see man stand

When he came to a small creek al MUS

Tretton replied that it was nobody else
and came on toward the spot where the
man was standing.
He had known Evans about ten years ago
in Hanford, bat had not been verv well ac-
auainted with him, and so was not quite
sure, just at first of the identity of the
stranger. He thought it was Evans. how
ever. and. as he came closer. he saw sec

first one, and then he knew that the two
were Evans and Sontag.
The two stood back to back. Evans facing
down hill and Sontag up. and Tretton, as q
matter of course. stopped to talk to them.
His natural supposition was that the men
had come to the ranch for horses. and as he
had no desire for close Intimacy he told
them they could have their pick OF the
stock on the ranch.
To this Evans made answer that they
were not after horses. They were hungry,
and wanted food. The three men thea
went to the house, where. after Evans haa

they need have no fear, as no harm wouiu

While they were at table Evans sat
facing tho door and Sontag facing the only
window in the room. The men ate with
their rifles across their laps, and seemed on
the alert always for possible treachery.
CLEARLY, they were not to be taken by sur
