THAT REWA ARD.
Manager Cooper Says 1t VIII Be Paid
Immediately.

E. M. Cooper, the manager for Wells,
Fargo & Co.. yesterday unburdened him
self concerning the payment of the re-
wards offered by his company and the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company.
Last year. explained MIR. Cooper, land
after the Grand Jury had indicted Evans
and Sontag we withdrew the binary
offer of reward which makes the capture
and conviction of q person necessary in
order to establish claim to the money and
in its place substituted preclama-
ton in which we offered to pay
$4,000 to any person or persons who gave
Evans and Sontag into the custody of the
Sheriff of either Tulare or Fresno county
or $1,000 for the capture OF either one.
ave did not ask that the captors prose-
cute the charges against the men, nor did
we stipulate that they must be taken alive.
This latter cuts no figure, however, as
both men are now in Jail and alive.
concerning the distribution OF the re-
ward there is but this to say:
Exactly $4,000 is awaiting the claims
of the persons who are entitled to II, and
as soon as they appear and prove dentif-
cation it will be handed over to them. If
the persons who have earned the money
do not quarrel over che division of il / as
sure you the companies will not bubble
over its payment. Too great service has
been done US in securing the bandits to
have us hesitate a moment about living I'm
to our promises.

FOUL OF THE LAW
Huntington and His Bay
Window.
WAR HAS FAIRLY BEGUN.
And i'm the Meantime the Magnate
Will Not Complete His Fine
New House.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

NEW YORK, June ia peaceful spot
it is where smoothly plastered Fifty-sev-
enth street crossed granite paved Fifth
avenue. There are green holland shades
In the windows and the tightly closed front
door betrays no sign OF the strife which
for weeks has been raging ABOUT that part
of town.
Ali was quiet until Thomas j. Brady
and Marcus Atterbury saw C. P. Hunting
toms magnificent but misplaced granite
house. 1t is one of the structures in the
ighborhood of the park, it is built of
granite, and the design is ornate and beau
tiful. but its beauties are destroyed by its
location and its surroundings.
There is. on the Fifty-seventh street side
of the house. a big bay window. Now
this bay window was the cause of the
strife and controversy which ended in
direful proceedings to-day. We're il not
for that bay window, which bulges out
into Fifty-seventh street. the depart
ment OF buildings would not have
been thrown into spasms of excite
ment and proceedings for contempt
of court would not have been begun
against C. P. Huntington and sundry Gen.
tractors, builders and workmen. Ten
servants of the law were hunting all over
New York and a part of Westchester
County serving. and up to late hour the
work of the ''process-servers" had not
been completed.
1t was nearly two years ago that the
trouble between Mr.. Huntington and the
building department began. When Mr..
Huntington was considering the plans
for his new house at Fifth ave
nue. and Fifty seventh street the
specifications were submitted to the build
Ing department. and the plans provided
Tor handsome bay-window. The Super
intendent of Buildings advised Huntington
to build more house and less bay-window.
The plans were modified accordingly,
but not enough to suit Superintendent
Brady. Huntington and his architects in
sisted that the bay.window did not en-
croach upon the street and the founda-
tons of the house were laid; and
as the months went by the blocks
OF granite grew into symmetrical
structure. Then Mr.. Brady and
his adviser, Marcus Otterbergh. took
counsel together. An inspector from the
Department of Buildings went to the
building every few days and scowled at
the bay window and reported all
things that he had seen to Brady
and Brady set those things ia order
and Wondered. The building department
then obtained an order from the courts
to enjoin Huntington from building the
bay window. 1t is said by Brady and his
associates that Mr.. Huntington did not
order the bay window to be torn down,
but permitted the masons to go on build
ing it. Papers against Huntington were
issued to-day.

Their Hands,

ST. PAUL, June 13..-General Merritt re-
ceived information that DR.. j. r. Walker,
physician and overseer at the Leech Lake
Reservation, accidentally shot an Indian

ness to proceed to the reservation as

serious, as the Indians recently were paid
off and are doubtless drinking.
Nothing further is known at late hour
tonight regarding DR.. Walkers position.
A telegram from hotel-keeper at Park
Rapids was received this morning, stating
that no news could be had from tho agency
on account Of the Indians having double
pckets.

Marshall Dannehower for troops General
Merritt detailed Company D of the Third
Infantry. commanded by First Lieutenant
Mccoy and Second Lieutenant Moore, to
take the field. They left tonight for
Brainerd. from whence they will have to
march % miles to the agency.
The Indians concerned are Leech Lake
Chippewas. Heretofore they were very
friendly and peaceable tribe. Colonel
Barber has stated that he hardly expects
the matter to end fatally for the doctor
before the troops arrive, though 1t is hard
to tell what the Indians might do when

covered, is exciting the farmers on Para

German woman, the wife of an industrious

the victims.

sobbing with fright. MAMA has fallen
down and hurt herself" was the only ex-
PLANTATION the little fellow could give.
Guided by the child, Mr.. Kirkendall
FASTENED to the woods about quarter of
a mile from the house. There he found
his wife, lying face downward upon the
ground, her head resting upon her hands.
She was dead. Near her lay their four
year-old daughter unconscious and In
spasms.
SEEING the child, Kirkendall rushed to
the house ana tried to revive her. but in
few minutes she too was dead. The house
was then searched to discover the cause.
On the kitchen table was a glass still con-
tanning few drops of the bitter liquid.
Near it was bottle of strychnine-one of
those sent out by the county officials for
squirrel poison.
The little boy said that his mother
mixed some of the stuff from the bottle
with sugar and water and gave it to his
sister and himself 20 drink, taking some
of it herself. II tasted bitter. so he spat
out what she had given him; but his sister
swallowed it. Then they went out in
the woods to pick flowers.
After they had gone little way his sis
ter fell down. He ran to pick her up aud
carried her to the mother, but she had
fallen too. and would not answer him. He
tried to arouse her but could not, and be-
coming frightened, and ran back to the
house. where his father found him.
|. No note of explain alton was left by Mrs.
Kirkendall, and no reason can be assigned
for her act. Her husband states that they
had no recent quarrel and that he cannot
imagine any motive for the deed.
The evidence points so plainly TO suicide
and poisoning as the result of temporary
melancholia that no nquests were deemed
necessary.

expected to find Evans when some men in
a buggy drove up rapidly behind them aud
passed them at the top OF their speed. The
Fresno officers did not know bur that they
were friends OF Evans, hurrying out to
remove him from danger. and so they
whipped up and kept close, to the men who
| had SO hurriedly and mySteriously passed.
1t tsrned out that they were the Visala
officers. They had concluded to cut ahead
of tue men who had been there fighting
and capture thu famous outlaw, who
already was, as they knew, unable TO fight
The Fresno officers complain in no mild
terms of what they regard as mean and
unprncipled trick on the part of the Visa
liza officers to run in and capture the game
after 1t had been brought to bay, when
they had failed to do any material work
toward bringing it TO bay.
Sheriff Scott and his posse rushed up to
the house about 1 O'clock in the morning
and surrounded it. They. did not know
how badly Evans was hurt and expected
that he would show fight. The house was
dark at first and then the Visalia officers
ran into the yard and stopped on the porch.
SCOTS men did not know who they were,
but supposed they were friends of Evans.
"'Who goes therep demanded Deputy
Tmmons.
Yes. speak, or l will blow your head
off, said Rapelje.
The man on the porch answered, Wait
minute and sprang inside. Piloted by
Perkins boy they ran upstairs to where
Evans lay, struck a match, and throwing
up the window called out: AN right,
come on. Evans is our prisoner
THE Fresno men now for the first time
realized that the Visalia officers had thus
run into the game at the last moment,
when the fighting was all debe, and had
claimed the priza and glory for what, in
all probability. the blast of Gabrlel's trum-
pet would have found undone if it had
been left for Sheriff Kay tc do. At least
this is the story given by the Fresno
officers who report the affair. They
are greatly incensed. and say hat Rapelie
and Jackson are the ones that deserve the
reward"
