FRESNO, Cal, Jan. 4.-The latest
news from the mountains is that
Evans and Morrell, the bandits, have
been located at Demaster's logging
amp on Dinkey creek, about miles
from Pine Flat. Officers were to sur
round the cabin last night and it was
expected that by today the question
would be settled as to whether Evans
would be brought from the hills dead
or alive. Parties who arrived from the
hills were so confident the officers had
trapped the outlaws that they were
freely Offering bets that Evans would

INSURANCE DECISION.
New Orleans Cotton Shippers Must Not
Insure Cargoes by Mail


NEW ORLEANS, Jan. "A very i'm
portant decision was handed down
this morning by Judge Monroe in the
civil court in the matter of The State
against Mason Smith & Co. Smith g.
Co. are large shippers of cotton from
New Orleans. Heretofore they have
protected their shipments by effecting
insurance risks with foreign companies
having no representatives in Louisi-
ana. These policies were effected by
mail. Many other firms doing ex
porting business followed the
example of Mason Smith & Co.
and the state brought large number
OF suits against them, the one today
being test. The state claimed that
Mason, Smith & Co., and all the other
firms made defendants or TO be made
defendants are agents of foreign in
surance companies with whom they
do business and that being agents they
must pay the license required by the
state of agents representing foreign in
surance companies here, and Judge
Monroe decided the state to be correct
in its contention and declares that in
surance companies must pay license.
The decision will have considerable
effect on foreign exporters of cotton.

gentleman from San Marcos, inquired
of the political pulse of that city and
was informed that it was decidedly in

The feeling down there is decidedly
in favor OF Culberson in his gubarna-
