FRESNO, Cal, Feb. 4. A fight be-
tween the bandits, Evans and Morel,
and Deputy Sherifis Timmins and
Boyd, occurred in the Slippery Rock
country about 20 miles east of Dinubia
this afternoon. The officers were
looking for the bandits in that neigh
borhood, and were riding in a cart.
When they got near the place of a
rancher named Robinson, Timmins
ahghted and started in the direction of
the house. He had only gone short
distance when Evans and Morel came
out CT st. Clsir's house near by and
Immediately opened fire Oh the officers.
The latter had the advantage of being
separated, and could have raked the
bandits from both sides, as Evans and
Morel were in line between them.
Instead, it is reported, the officers took
to fight, the bandits diligently firing
upon them.

in advance and who were not on hand to throw
for themselves. had deputed Mr.. jackson to
throw for them. and It was Mr. Jack sons re-
markable luck in throwing for the absentees

the injury and he went home.
