ROsLYN ROBBERS STILL FREE.
They are All Together and Their Route
Was Planned ils Advance.


Was Planned IN Advance.
RosLYN, Sept. 29.-lSppcial. The Roslyn
bauk robbers are still At lerge, with prospects
for their capture about as uacertain now as at
any time since the commission of the crime.
Intelligence was today received from three of
the searching party, and the only reliable in
formation as to the course taken by the bandits
after leaving the scene Of Saturday nights
battle was given by DR.. Harris. who headed one
OF the sherif's posse ana who returned this
morning, leaving two of his companions to con-
tinue the pursuit He gives q very interesting
narrative o: their trip, the features OF which go
to show that the robbers had made elaborate
preparations for carrying on. their designs on
the banks wealth.
DR.. Harris states that the trail indicates that
the five fugitives rendezvOused about ten miles
northeast OF the point where the fighting OF Sat
urday night occurred, and from that place to
the west fork of Nanam creek, their first camp
Ing ground and main rendezvous Their trail
led through a dense wilderness and on line
blazed out by Themselves Eere the robbers ev-
identity rested for several hours. When the
posse arrived upon the score there was a smol-
dering fire and other evidences that the camp
had but recently been abasdoned. Observing
several unconsumed scraps Of clothing about
the fire, the ashes were raked, when pants but
tons, steel shanks, buckles and metal shoe
buttons were exposed, showing that the re-
cent occupants Of the camp had changed
their garments and burned their old attire.
From this point the trail, wiach was very plain,
showed the passage of sssEs rorsds, and q meas
urcmeut OF their tracks, compared with the
measurement of the tracks made by the bandits
horses in Roslyn, were IDENTICAL. The fugitvies
passed over the most difficult route that they
could select, crossing the maEn wagon road be-
tween the Swauk and Peshaztin mines. They
scaled the barron Swauk hills, ascended the
Wenatchee mountains and descended into the
Columbia river valley ten hours ahead of their
pufsuers.
The posse had su bsisted on very meager ra-
tons for the preceding forty-eight hours, and at
this point their provisions gave out entirely.
This necesstated their seeking civilization, and,
Ellensburg being the nearest point where their
stores could be replenished, taey arrived there
late last night.
At3o'clock this morning another posse, led
by Frank Moran, of Roslyn, returned and took
up the trail at the place wfere 1t was abau-
doned, and will follow it up- DR.. Harris 10 of

Weaver and Lease at R.leirh. N. G


RALEIGH, N. c., Sept 29.-Geu. Weaver and
Mrs. Lease arrived this morning. The third
party managers had arranged to make grand
demonstration. People came in wagons from
twenty miles around. The procession marched
to the capitol, and thence to Brookside park
There were $50 men on horseback and in
vehicles and 1000 on foot There were 1000 not
in line. Gen. Weaver spoke without inter-
ruption.
The Atlanta Constitution thus describes Mra
Leases speech ut Waycross. Ga:
She is tall and raw boned and as ugly as
mud hen. But as an orator she outclasses
Weaver or any other third party speaker vet
heard In Georgia. Her voice is strong and full
OF the fog horn variety, with q slight twang.
She talks like an old stager. Her sentences are
well rounded and eloquent. Indeed. she has
the voice of q Bill Harris and the eloQueuce of
Temple GraveA She is, however, more pleasing to
the ear than to the eye. The effect of her speech
upon the audience was remarkable The negroes
shouted and hurrahed, and few whites joined
them, and all listened attentively and with ad-
miration OF the eloquence OF the woman. Her
power OF word painting is amazing. She spoke
OF the ovation which had been given to her in
Georgia TWO years ago. She came among the
people Of Georgia as the daughter and sister of
Union soldiers. Her father lay buried beneath
the soil OF Georgia, STARVED to death at Ander-
sonville:" Her brothers remains lay upon the

weeks, and within the last few days her life ut
times has been dsspaired OF. The supposed
danger has been kept from Senator Allen by
Mrs Allen. who did not desire to alarm the SEN
ator, thereby preventing him from taking an
active part in the campaign in Washington for
the benefit of the Republican party. Miss Allen
is only 10 years Of age, and the fever has up to
the present time made serious in

no means considered past all danger, and that
Mrs. Allen is not yet perfectly Satisfied that she

1t seems that Mrs. Allen and the children re-

TO stay here. even beyond the close of the last

taken in doses OF eight to ten grains four times
