OUTLAW EVANS LOOSE.
His Wife Helped Him Escape
From a Fresno Jail.
PISTOLS HID IN A DINNER TRAY.

Shoots the City Marshal and Escapes In
a Wagon Toward the Mountains-The
Town In Full Cry Behind Him.
FRESNO, Cal, Dec. 29.-Chris Evans, the
notorious train robber, who deiied the Cal
ifornia authorities for over nine months in
the Fresno mountains and was at last
captured after a battle in which his COM
panion, Sontag, was fatally wounded and
be himself was seriously injured, has es-
capped from Jail and is now probably once
more headed for his mountain Businesses.
Evans lost an eye as the result of the fight
in the mountains with Marshal Cards
posse. He was convicted OF killing Vic
Wilson, one Of the many officers who pur-
sued him, and the jury fixed the penalty
at life term in the state prison. He ap-
peared to take his sentence quietly and
thus lulled all suspicious that he would
make any attempt to escape. He also urged
his lawyers to demand new trial, which
he said he was hopeful of securing.
Evans was to have been sentenced on
Jan. for life. He succeeded in getting
the help Of a waiter in restaurant, who
seems to have been impelled solely by n
desire to gain notoriety in assisting des-
perate man.

IN FaIthfnI VIZ.

Mrs Evans, who has remained faithful
to her husband in all his troubles, called
as usual at the jail yesterday and was ad-
mitted to her husbands cell. She proba-
bly, told her husband Of the walters intsn-
tion to help him. The guards declared
that she smuggled in no arms. She came
the last time few minutes after the wait
er from Stocks restaurant came IN with
dinner for the convicted man.
Evans was allowed to be out Of his cell
in the large jail corridor. Mrs. Evans and
the waiter were the only persons with him,
the door being locked by Jailer Scott,
brother Of the sheriff. He happened to be
the only officer around. the rest having
gone to dinner.
Mrs. Evans sat down with her husband,
and both appeared to be enjoying their
meal. A few minutes after the waiter
called to Scott, saying Evans had finished
dinner and he wished to take away the
things. The jailer entered, and as he sp-
preached the table the waiter drew new
pistol and pointed il at him.
The waiter pointed tho gun at Scott's
heart and said, Hold up your hands"
The jailer thought it was a joke, but he
was paralyzed when Evans drew another
glittering pistol from the dinner tray,
where it had been concealed by napkin.
That's all right, Ben, said Evans. Hold
up your hands" The jailer succumbed,
and his keys fell to the floor.
AS Evans drew the gun Mrs. Evans tried
to catch his arm, as though she feared he
would shoot Scott, but he put her back
with a sweep of his hand, never taking his
eyes from Scott. Evans then said in the
loud voice he used from the outset, Let us
out. We want to get out"
The iailer picked up the keys and walked
backward down the stairs, with Evans and
the walter following. AS both had guns
Scott was powerlsss. Evans forced the
iailer to let him out the side entrance.
Shot Down tho Marshal.
Once in the street, the party was met by
Ed Mayer Cole. The jailer was walking
along in advance of Evans very meekly, and
the bandit forced Cole to hold up his hands
and to accompany them. Cole thought he
had struck gang of footpads, but he went
along.
This queer procession was next met by
City Marshal Morgan, who knew Evans at
once. He tried to arrest the bandit, but
was shot down. Evans then jumped into
the delivery wagon Of the Fresno Exposi-
tor and disappeared northward. Morgan
wasn't seriously hurt, but the pursuit was
delayed some time by the sudacity Of the
robber, and he will probably make good
his escape.
Citizens posses are organizing and start
l ing in every direction. Mrs. Evans is in
Jail locked up. It is thought that Evans
was met by some Of his friends on the out
skirts Of town. Jack Barrett, one Of the
| city policemen, left a few minutes later
with the police on horseback, with the OBJ
ject Of heading Evans Off from Sampon's
Dat, his old fighting ground. A special en-
CINE will take the posse to Reedley to watch
the head Of Squaw valley.

peceitful Appearances.

Iwas chatting with Montague street
real estate man in his Office few days
ago, when woman entered who attracted
the attention Of both of MS. She was
middle aged, very plain in face and fig
ure and wore black dress which was
patched and ripped in many places. Her
entire appearance denoted poverty and
misery and indicated that she had a
great struggle to keep the wolf from en-
tering at her door. Instinctively feeling
that the woman was a beggar, we were
about TO offsr her some money, when she
nstonished us little by saying she had
some privste business with the real estate
man.
They went into his inner Office and
were engaged for about fifteen minutes
In earnest conversation. After she had
gone and my friend had ceased to gaze
in opsn mouthed amusement at her van
ishing figure, he enlightened me as to her
object IN the following manner: "Well,
I'll be darnedt That woman wanted to
buy go, 600 piece of property I have for

pay down to bind the bargain. 0 Lord,

Hard Iuok of Two Lucky Men.

EARLY In the present osntury two
Srothers Of the peasant class were labor
Ing In the fields when their tools struck
against q metallic substance, which
proved to be q massive chain many
pounds in weight which they took to be
Of brass and carried away with them,
thinking it might be useful as Q plow
chain. On reaching their humble cot
tage the weight and luster Of the metal
aroused their attention. A link of the
chain was detached and taken to the
nearest town, was tested and proved tc
be fine gold. The fortunes Of the men
were assured could they have kept their
own counsel, but boasting Of their pros
poets and spending money lavishly on
the strength of them, curiosity and sus-
picion were aroused. Wives and chill
dren chetted about the wonderful find,
and at last the officers of the crown de-
scended upon the scene. The treasure,
which proved to be worth several thou
sand pounds, was snatched from its find
ers, who, for all result Of their "good
fortune" were awarded term of i'm
prisonment at the following assizes.-
