style Winchester rifles OF the model of
1896. Some of these were sold to Ladd &
Co., local dealers, who subsequently, in
July, 1856, sold to Stevens IL Co. of
Nisalia the rife numbered 50, 453. Ed
McFey, their salesman, sold 1t to w. A.
Jackson, hunter. Two years ago Ander-
son pawned it to McVey, but later on re-
deemed it.
Some months ago he left it in Lovern's
saloon, Nisalia, where there was similar
gun NO. 1862 and dirk-knife These
weapons were the ones referred TO in the
above dispatch, and are the same now in
Warden Aul's possession.
The man who was suspected in Nisalia
OF having stolen the guns had been heard
TO say that he was about to start for Chi
cago.
EVIDENTLY CORRECT.
Putting all these circumstances to-
gether, they seem to bear out Warden
Aulls theory that Fredericks is the man
who stole the guns, shot Messenger
Michael Tovey, placed the rifles in the
rocks for Sontag and his pals, shot Brake
man Bruce and then murdered Sheriff
Pascoe of Nevada County.

Oregon bank for $3.50 was found upon
him, also $40 in coin. A valise belonging
