the condition of the farmers Of Western

A Posse in Pursuit of
Fredericks.
THE MURDERER IDENTIFIED
Every Road Closely Guarded and
Escape Seems to Be
Impossible.
Special to THE MORNING CALL.

MARYsvILLE. July 5.-Railroad Officer
True and II. Ii. Smith, an acquaintance
of Fredericks. are in town on the lookout
for the murderer of Sheriff Pascoe. The
murderer was located Tuesday evening
about ten miles from Marysville, having
given his pursuers the slip by doubling on
them. The Sheriff Of this county does not
believe that the right man is located, and
has made no attempt to hunt him up.
Both bridges over the Tuba River are
watched by the railroad officers. but it is
probable that the murderer will go to
Whtatland. where Marshal Waddell is IN
the lookout. Some persons believe that
the constable killed the Sheriff by mistake.
There is no excitement around here. Sher-
if Pascoe's son was here this morning on
his way to Grass Valley.
Tonight every road leading into this
city from the hills on both sides OF the
river is watched by officers looking for
Fredericks. the murderer of Brakeman
Bruce and the supposed slayer of Sheriff
Pascoe. What are considered reliable ad-
vices tend to show that he is headed this
way and is travelling by night.
That Fredericks is the man there seems
to be little doubt. as flume-tender named

SPLENDID MEETING HELD.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

FRESNO. July 5.-The Fresno County
Board of Trade held a meeting last night
In the Office of Thomas Z. Hughes for the
purpose of discussing subjects of vital In
terest to this county. Thomas E. Hughes
presided over the meeting, and s. Ii. Cole
acted as secretary.
The two most important subjects dis
cussed were the proposed San Francisco
and San Joaquin Valley railroad and the
proposed mldwinter worlds fair at San
francisco.
On motion of Frank Fl. Ball. Fulton G..
Berry was appointed a delegate to the
midwinter fair executive committee.
Berry in accepting the appointment re-
marked that ne feared the midwinter fair
movement might hamper the agitation. of
the railroad project. If one of them had to
fall through he would prefer that the fair
should be the one. The proposed railroad
would d o Fresno County thousandfold
more good than would the midwlnter fair.
He was in favor Of the railway from first
to last. He had no doubt that the people
of the San Joaquin Valley counties would
render all the assistance in their power.
But" added Berry. 'if the Stockton and
Bakersfield road is playing second fiddle to
the midwinter fair don't want anything
to do with it.
'While in San Francisco recently l had
a conversation with Mr.. Leeds and Barry
Baldwin of the Traffic Association, and
they asked me how much our people would
contribute. | said they would not con-
tribute % cents until the company was in
corporated and came to the San Joaquin
Valley with $4,000: then there would be
no trouble about raising the remaining
$3.50. 000"
Berry added that NJ. T. Jones, a prom
inent wholesale merchant of San Fran
cisco. had expressed the opinion that the
financial stringency would be over by the
middle of July. aud that the San Francisco
merchants proposed to build the road for
their own protection.
I'VE can say if they will incorporate
that we will give them the right Of way
and do our proportion toward helping the
read. When the San Francisco people
shall have succeeded in raising S750000
we will know that they mean business"
A resolution was unanimously adopted,
expressing it rs the sense of the meetng that
