In the third race, the Rancho del Paso
stakes, worth 81, $50 to the winner, Mo-
relic was prOhibitive favorite at one to
five. In the parade past the grand stand
he looked to be nearly as perfect a piece
of horse flesh as was ever seen on the
track. To an even start, Don Fulano
went out to set the pace. Coming to the
stand he led by a length from the other
two, who were side by side at his heels.
/ They passed the quarter in the same or
der, but on the back stretch Morello
gave out and fell back badly beaten,
while Charmion moved up to Don Flu
lano, but could not catch him. Fulano
was an easy winner by two lengths from
Charmion, with Morello sixteenth of d
mile back. 1t was found that Morello
had strained a tendon. After examina-
ton by veterinary surgeon, the injury
was pronounced not serious. With
proper care he can be brought round all
right.

THE UNION PACIFIC.
Solicitor Thurston on the Disintegra-
ton of the System.

Oh
ton of the System.
OMAHA, Dec. John NJ. Thurston,
General Solicitor of the Union Pacific,
just returned from st. Louis, expresses
himself at length on the question of dis
integration of the Union Pacific system.
which has been exploited the past week,
also touching the action of the German
bOndholders of the Oregon Railway and
Navigation Company. OF the latter move,
he says: The action was by no means a
surprise. 1t is the preliminary step much
desired by the receivers of the I Mon Pa
citic, who have wanted to transact matters
pertaining to the receivership with some
one person or bank authorized to act on
behalf of the stockholders. This has
been done. There is no fear of dismem-
berment of the system, as the interests
of the Union Pacific are too closely in
terwoven to be lightly put aside.
There is nothing suspicious about the
meeting of the German bondholders in
Berlin yet. 1t is only preliminary step
in assisting the receivers to manipulate
the property for the best interests of all
concerned. If the Union Pacific, Denver
and Gulf system under the new receiver
should fail TO meet the interest payment
on the Colorado Central, the mortgage
bondholders under that mortgage would
commence foreclosure proceedings, ask
ing the segregation of the Colorado Gen.
tral lines from the balance of the Gulf
system, and would undou btedly be en-
titled to separate receiver pending fore
closure"

THE EVANS TRIAL.
Counsel for Defense Outline '

Counsel for Defense Outline What
They Expect to Prove.
FRESNO, Dec. Attorney Kinds made
the opening statement for the defense in
the Evans trial to-day, saying it was their
purpose to show what defendant would
depend upon for his acqnittal. ''As to
the Coils robbery, we will stand upon
the record made by the prosecution, with
one or two additions. We viii show that
George Sontag's story that Evans broke
into Sweets powder-house and stole
dynamite was false. The powder-house
was never broken into at all, and no pow
der was ever stolen." Kinds said George
and John Sontag were the guilty parties,
and were sheltering under Evans good
name.
''The defense to the killing of Oscar
Beaver will be selt-defense. We will
show why Will Smith was not asked to
testify as to the scrimmage at Evans
house, where he called one Oh the children
a liar"
The attorney then reviewed the move
ments of Evans and Sontag in the mount
aims, which he would prove on the stand.
The defense at Young's cabin will be that
Evans and Sontag were cornered, and
had been told again and again that no
quarter would be given, and that they
had to fight or die.
A large number of character witnesses
were then put on the stand, all of them
substantial citizens, who gave Evans
very good reputation. It. FL. May of
Modesto testified that McGinnis had
told him that Will Smith and George
Witty had taken hold to arrest Evans
and Sontag in the wrong way. Me-
Ginnis said he would, if going after them,
locate them and pick them off while they
were asleep, or would hide behind rocks
and trees and pick them of.
Senator Goucher took the stand and
stated that Warren Hill told him the
posse had gone to SIMPSONS fiat to shoot
Evans and Sontag on sight
John Coffee and Clarke Moore, when
put on the stand contradieted the testi-
mony of mem bers of the posse as to what
had happened at Coffee,s and Craotree's.
Moore said he did call Smith a liar, in
quarrel at Crabtree's, and Smith did not
resent it,

snecial to the REcoRp.Ux1oN.

SOUTH BEND Ind.), Dec. The Soutn
Bend National Bank, one of the largest
and soundest banks in Northern Indiana,
was robbed of over $4,000 to-day. The
deed was committed in broad daylight
while hundreds of people were on the
street, and the robbers succeeded in get
ting away with their booty without leav-
ing the slightest clue. Every train or
other means of leaving the city is care
fully watched, and the officers hope to
obtain some tangible clue before to-mor-
row.
Cashier Myrin Campbell remained in
the bank, in the heart of the city, until
all the employees had gone. lie then. as
he supposed, locked the middle door OF
the big vault, and left everything in the
usual shape at the noon recess. 1t was
fifteen minutes after II o'clock when he
left. At ten minutes to l he returned,
and found the rear window open, the
back door unlocked and the door between
the directors room and counting room
mutilated a rush was then made for the
vault. The door was as Mr.. Campbell
left it. They sprung IL back and exam
lned the safe within. a glance showed
that money had been taken, but he could
not tell how much. Subsequently it de-
veloped that the robbers secured $500.
There is little doubt the bank had been
watched for several days, perhaps weeks.
1t is now pretty certain that in turning
the combination knob of the middle door
of the vault, the one depended on at the
noon hour, the cashier did not turn it far
enough TO scatter the tumblers. By mere
chance the robbers happened TO turn the
right way to unlock the door. The rob-
bers touched no money that would be at
once missed. On the top of the safe was
counter tray containing about $1,000.
Not a dollar Of this was touched. The
robbers confined themselves to the safe.
which contained in the neighborhood of
S25, 900, $4,000 being gold. OF the gold
only S4, 900 was taken, the rest of the Si5,-
800 stolen being IN paper money. The
robbers closed the vault door to allay
suspicion.
Assistant Cashier J. Z. Kelly resides in
the rear Of the bank. The windows in
his home give full view Of the window
through which the entrance was gained
to rob the bank. About the hour of the
robbery man called him out to purchase
potatoes, ostensib!y, but it is thought to
attract his attention while the robbers
were effectlng an entrance.
