ENGINEER PHIPPS DENIES 1T.
Belief in ViSalia That Evans and Son.
tag Are Near There.


FRESNO. June 9.-From a gentleman
who came up from Visalia to-day it is
learned that Engineer Phipps denies the
story about seeing Evans and Sontag and
says 1t is made out of whole cloth. AT
the time Oscar Beaver was killed at the
Evans place a single rrel rifle was
found there and turned over to the Sheriff.
Mrs. Evans claimed it and Sheriff Kay
told her she could have it if it was hers.
Yesterday Mrs. Evans returned the shot
gun that was left there by one of the
posse and asked for her rife, which was
delivered to her. She then drove to the
store and purchased cartridges for the
same. 1t created lot of talk on the street
at the time.
Wednesday evening, just before dark, a
lady drove by the residence of Mrs. Byrd
and saw the women and children grouped
around a cart. Some of the youngest were
perched on the wheel. There was just
room Tor her buggy to pass. and as she
never gave them thought she rode with
out looking at the wo men who were sit
ting in the cart, but noticed the horse was
black. One of the robbers may have later
on donned woman's apparel and rode
around so as to enable them to throw off
suspicion in case the officers were watch
ing the premises.
There is no doubt but they have turned
the tables and are hunting for certain par
ties that have been objectionable to them.
One thing certain is that Evans and Son.
tag were there Wednesday night, and 1t Is
thought that the train-robbers have been
and are at present within five miles Of
Xisalia

Cut in TransCOntinental
Rates.
HOW HE HAULS FREIGHT.
Here Are Reductions That viii Make
Some Magnates Gnash Their
Teeth in Rage.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 9.-The Great
Northern to-day cut Pacific Coast freight
rates from the twin cities and Mississippi
River common points and from Chicago
and Milwaukee common points. The
Great Northern people said they had in
structed their agents to use the new
classification rates as a basis Tor corre-
spending reduction to the same points on
commodities. The commodity tariff based
on the reduction was not issued, but is in
preparation and will be published soon.
The reduction is sweeping in many re-
spects. The frst-class rate from st. Paul
and Minneapolis 10 Seattle is reduced
from So per hundred to 50 08. and fourth
class from 50 60 to 81 40. To Spokane the
first-cass rate is cut from 81 60 TO 81 and
he fourth class from 81 30 to 81 40. The
frst-class rate to Helena and Butte City,
Mont, was So 50. 1t is now reduced to
81 Go, and the fourth class is cut from
81 40 to 81 so. Other reductions are in the
same pro portion.
These wholesale reductions are justified
by Great Northern officials on the ground
that it is necessary to protect their in
terests from the competition of rail and
water rates from Eastern points, which
has IcSullOl llOHl tue w dI IL rates between
the Canadian and Southern Pacific routes.
1t is believed that the Northern Pacific
and the Omaha roads will follow suit
very soon.
NEW YORK, June 9-The Herald saws:
There was big reduction of freight rates
yesterday out OF New York to all Missis-
sippi River points. This may we'll be re-
garded as the 1rst serious menace to rates
In the territory of the Trunk Line Asso-
citation. The cnts made by the Southern
and Canadian Pacific companies affect
only the Pacific Coast traffic, and do not
disturb the situation in the East. A re-
ductlOn was made yesterday by the Kama
wha Dispatch and Savannah Steamship
Line. They made clean cut of so per
cent on dry goods and certain other first
class products from this city to the Missis-
sippi River, which is the junction point
between the Eastern and Western associa-
tons. The object is to reach points west
of the Mississippi River. The same rate
cutters have also reduced the tariff on all
cotton goods from the mills. 1t will be
readily seen the trunk lines cannot long
resist this warfare in their own territory
without being affected by it, and being
ultimately drawn into il. The National
Dispatch menaces the Northern and Kama
wha Dispatch's immediate territory.
