What was M. Schurmann to do? All
the seats in the theater in Bucharest

''Send me by return telegram in

pairing a splendid reception for the
arrival OF Nine. Patti. The ministry
will be represented. Sleighs, torches,

The faithful deputy obeyed his in
structions. NJ. Schurmann continues
the tale: ION reading the telegram

gentleman in Italian.
"Mme. Patti thanked him with
tears Of emotion and gratitude in her

of cheering, and, escorted by her sixty

SONTAG CAPTURED.
Morally Wounded at Visalia 80
Evans Still at Large.

Evans Still at Large.
! Visalia, CAL, June 12-United
States Marshal Gard and his depu-
ties, Hi Dapelje, Deputy Sheriff Of
Fresno county, Alfred Jackson and
an officer from Nevada and Tom
Burns, who was with Black at Camp
Badger when he was shot, did good
work last night seventeen miles East
of here. Sontag was shot in the
right shoulder and the shot possibly
entered his breast. Evans started for
mill near there and the ground was
bloody where he stopped, His two
guns he left lying there and his hat,
all covered with blood. Sontag lay
behind stack of hay all night, and
the posse found him there. Gard
and party were camped on the hill
side waiting for daylight, to see if
they made any move. Sontag spit
blood all night. There is wound
on his forehead and each side of his
nose. He claimed that he shot him
self these last three wounds, though
this is denied.
Evans tracks showed that he start
ed toward Visalia and his house will
be watched day and night. Being
without arms or ammunition and
undoubtedly wounded, and his parts
nar in crime captured, he must give
up pretty soon. Sontag talks freely,
saying that the jig is up, and he cafes
not for the future. 1t is possible
that Sontag will recover from his
wounds, the doctor thinks, though he
expresses no decided opinion.
Sontag denies that he and Evans
were at Visalia week ago Wednes-
day. He says they were here two
weeks ago. He admits that they
shot Black at Camp Badger. He
says, when he was shot last night,
that he thought he was mortally
wounded, and asked Evans to shoot
him and then make his escape.
When Sontag was found this morn
ing he was covered with straw which
he had pulled out of a stack. His
beard was matted with blood and
dirt.
A reporter asked him if he had any
word to send to friends. He replied:
Il have no friends; no place.
In sack the desperadoes had with
them were bread and jelly.
Mrs. Evans and daughter Eva call
ed at the Jail an hour after Sontag
was brought in. Eva cried bitterly,
but Mrs. Evans looked determined

being about seventy couple present,
about one third of whom were from

finale at 5 o'clock a. m.
A jollier or more sociablo crowd
never assembled. Everyone present
was committe of one to look after
every other one and see that there
were no wall flowers. The only
thing that happened to jar the friend
ship between the Chosen Friends
and the APPEAL man, (who is every
body's friend) was the disappearance
of his hat, that he won on the cleo
ton last Fall. The music by Tay
lor & Frisbie's orchestra was first
class and commented on by all. The
supper was something to be remem>
bered. The absence of napkins be-
ing the only fault. Lemonade and but
