Its provisions are that assessments shall be

SAN DIEGO, Jan. 21.-Under-Sherif
Crenshaw received telephone message
from Escondido today stating that two
men answering the description of Evans
and Morel had been seen yesterday.
The information came from ex-Sheriff
Cravath, who said he had learned that
the men were seen in Keyes canon,
about eight miles to the northeast OF
Escondido, by a schoolteacher named
Ross, who was teaching school
in the caiion. Particulars OF the story
were finally received from A. II. Beach
of Eecondido, who said he had just
secured them from Ross. The report
had been current in Escondido Satur-
day but was not believed.
The reports said that at 2 O'Clock
Thursday afternoon two men drove up
to the school house in Keyes cafion and
stopped to water their horses. They
came up the cafion from the San Luis
road from Los Angeles to San Luis Rey,
and up the river to Bear valley.
The schoolteacher was at once struck
by the resemblance OF the men to de-
scriptions he had read OF Evans and
Morel. The man he took to be Evans
had lap robe thrown over his left
shoulder and the front OF which he held
with his right hand. but it slipped, and
Ross saw that his left arm was cut off.
The mans right eve was closed or miss
ing. The other man wac driving. They
drove one horse only, hitched to ligh
cart.
The sight of the men scared the
schooteacher half out of his wits. He
could not tell whether they carried arms
or not. He did not recall seeing any.
They asked Ross the best and shortest
road to the Mexican line, and he di-
rected them as best he could. They
! Immediately left, taking the road due
south leading to Warmers ranch, and
which would take them to Campo on
the, Mexican line.
Ross returned to his task and taught
school the next day, going to Escondido
on Saturday and telling what be saw.
By that time the men were safely a.
the line. Rose is an intelligent man of
good reputation, and can have no possi-
BILE reason for lying about the matter.
Sheriff Hill was notified at once by
his lieutenant upon receipt OF the news
and he prepared to send posse to the
line to head off the men, but on learn
ing that they had passed Keyes
valley as long ago as Thurs
day he abandoned the idea,
es they are probably now in Lower
California and hRve had time enough to
20 past Jusrez mining camp as far as
the San Rafael valley.
The Campo telephone line was down
today and all means of communication
shut off. From San Rafael valley in
Lower California the government road,
built by Thomas Blythe, leads to rrini-
dad valley and across the desert
to San Felipe ON the gulf of
California. The Mexican authorities
will be notified in the morning, and in
case further investigation reveals that
the men were the Fresno fugitives
few tried men will be sent down from
here to work with the Mexican rurales
in following them up.

unconstitutional or unparliamentary
course. 1t is said coalition presided
over by Nicolaievitch is forming.
LONDON, Jan. 2l.-A dispatch from
Vienna to the Standard says the Servian
cabinet has resigned because Of the
presence of ex-King Milan in Belgrade.
This they declared to be illegal, but did
not care to commence an open conflict
with the crown by Milan'H arrest and
expulsion. M. Pasitch, president OF the
skuptschina, is en- route to Belgrade
from st. Petersburg. If be is willing to
form a new cabinet, possibly the crises
may be deferred. The real cause of
Milan's arrival at Belgrade, the dispatch
says, was difference between King
Alexander and the radical ministers.
The king appealed to his father. who
advised him not to break with the radi-
Gals unless he wanted to suspend the
constitution and institute q military
regime, which Milan strongly dspre-
Gated. King Alexander replied that If
he could not have his own way he would
abdicate and leave Servla, wherenpon
Milan started Immediately for Belgrade.
A dispatch to the News from Vienna
says it is no longer question of parties,
but will King Alexander be able to
keep his throne. With him the Ohreno-
witch dynasty must stand or fall, and
Milan has gone to Belgrade to avert the
danger. Part OF the radicals, it says,
led by fanatical priest, Guritch. and
ex-Premier Pasitch, a partisan of Rus
sia. have openly declared in favor of the
descendants OF Kara Georg, Servia's re-
deemer from the Turkish yoke. The
real pretender to the dynasty is Prince
Asten Kara Georgevitch, Russion off,
Ger who married Princess Demikof and
is great favorite of the czar.
