TWO DESPERATE MEN.
Evans and SOntag's Real Dispositions
Cropping Out.
They Are Inclined to Be Ugly Now That
Their Injuries Are Healing
Rapidly.

VIsALIA, June 23.-Evans and Sontag,
the bandits, are beginning to show their
real dispositions, and they are not good
natured ones either. Up to the present
their attention and thoughts have been
given to their wounds. Now their in
luries are healing rapidly, they are
beginning to realize the seriousness OF
their position. They are today two of
the most desperate men confined within
the walls of a California prison. Evans
particularly acts like Gagged animal. He
Goes not have single regret for his
course, and says that the murdering of
officers was the casualties of war,
Evans IS getting along we'll ana is able
TO SIT up. He tries to appear more badly
wounded than he really is. Dr. Patter-
son has taken entire medical charge of
the men and in an interview he saws:
'Sontag's arm is painiug him a little
more than usual; otherwise he is doinp
we'll. Evans is progressing favorably,
with the exception of a slight fever and a
little more pain in his right eye. There
is no increased swelling. / am satisfied
that a buckshot penetrated the inner
corner of the right eye, then passed back
ward and probably lodged in the orbital
cavity. He cam t see with that eve. The
IT'S is wholly paralyzed and the functions
OF the eye suspended. -
Pictures of Evans have been taken bv q
photographer. The pictures will be
placed on sale by Mrs. Evans, who will
reap the benefit of the speculation.
Sontag's mother arrived here from
Mankato, Mimi, this morning and an
afectionate meeting took place between
mother and son. Mrs. Sontag spent the
day IN her sons room. Thomas Burns
one Of the participants in the Stone Cor
raj battle, returned from San Francisco
