FIGHT WITH ROBBERS
Evans and Sontag Cornered and the Former
Killed.
A HOT FIGHT.
An omcsr wounded In the Batilc-A
Posse Now In Parsuit Of
Sontag.

! VIsALTA, CAL, June IL -
Another fight between Evans and
Scsstssas Coins train robbers, and
officers took place Sunday evening.
During the conflict an officer was
shot in tho leg. Evans is probably
mortally wounded if not dead. AT
the time the wounded officer left
the scene Evans was lying on the
ground. Sontag had escaped and
had taken to the hills followed by a
heavy fire, which it is believed
did not injure him, as it
was dark and his retreating form
could not be seen.
H. j. Rapelie, deputy sheriff of
Fresno county, and Fred. jackson,
an officer from Nevada, have been
in the mountains a week hunting
Evans and Sontag. They were ac-
companied by Tnos. Burns, the man
who was with Deputy United States
Marshal Black when he was shot
while in Campo Badger three weeks
ago. Sunday morning they en-
camped at a vacant house about
eighteen miles northeast of this city
and about six miles west from Wilcox
Canyon, they spent the day sleeping
and in preparations to continue the
search for the bandits. About
twenty minutes before sunset
Rapelje went to a rear door of the
house and saw two men coming
down the hill. They proved to be
Evans and Soutag. Evans was in
the lead and carried rifle. Jack
son, the officer who was shot, went
to the rear door whare Rapelje was
standing and said, "They are the men
we are after" Burns and the
United States marshal $ guard at once
awakened the officers and went out
the front door. AS they turned
around the rear corner Evans saw
Rapelie, and, throwing his Win
chester to his shoulder, took deliber-
ate aim and fred. just then Jack
son stepped around and both officers
opened fire on the bandits. Evans
was seen to throw up both hands
and fall backwards. Then the firing
became general and Sontag shot
with a vengeance. jackson went
around the far end of the
house to get better place
from which to shoot. AS he
stepped around he was shot
in the left leg, between tie knee and
ankle. About forty shots were ex
changed, and darkness ended the
battle. Later Sontag was seen 10
crawl from a pile of rubbish and
Rapelje again opened fire on him.
Sontag then ran towards the hills,
followed by Rapelje, who continued
firing. Sontag did not return the
fire and was soon out of sight. Ra-
pelie returned to the house, secured
wagon and brought jackson to
this city. Sheriff Scott, of Fresno,
has been wired to send out posse,
and officers will go fromathis city to
the scene of conflict.

A DAM BREAKS.
Navigation viii be Suspended Until it is
Closed.

Closed.
Troy, N. Y, June 12.-About
sixty feet Of the state dam across
the Hudson river in this city gave
way about 3 o'clock this morning,
and the timbers were carried hum
dreds of yards down stream. The
water has fallen from two to three
feet above the dam and is still re-
ceding. The effect of the break will
be to suspend all navigation on
Champlain canal, as no boats can
pass through the sloop lick in the
dam, and the West Troy entrance to
the canal is not being used. The loss
is estimated at about $4,000, and
experts state it 10 be about ten
days before the break can be re-
paired. The dam broke at the point
where the state fshway, built few
wears ago, was located.

most shocking occurrence took place
yesterday three miles south Of Fue-
tonham, when Mrs. Clara Weaver,
aged "a, drowned her two children,
aged 4 years and 6 months respec-
lively, and herself in the shallow
waters Of Buckeye Creek. Mrs.
Weaver left letter addressed to
her husband, in which she stated
that she had often tried to nerve
herself to the terrible deed she was
about to commit, but her heart al
ways failed her. After saying she
had finally made up her mind that
it would not be wrong, she said she
was going to the creek praying God
to save her and her two little dar-
lings. The woman was undoubtedly
suffering from temporary insanity.

MONTANA GINNING WOOL

The price of Montana mixing wool
has not advanced tothat figure promised
u year ago by the Democratic orators
and newspapers. The idea of an ~increas.
ed price for Montana wool for mixing
purposes under free trade is already fully
exploded, for, while manufacturers were
getting other woods down to a free trade
basis. Montana wool should have risen
right there, if it is ever going to rise. as
in the prospect Of free wool. the manu-
facturers would all have wanted Mon

as We were assured a year ago. The
knowledge now plainly besets the Mon
