which were exhibited at the Worlds

SAMUEL SANKEY'S ESTATE.
His Adopted Daughter Declared to b

His Adopted Daughter Declared to be
the RightfuI Heir.
WILLIAMsPoRT PENN. Jan. 4.-Caro-
line C. Sankey. formerly a pauper in
Lycoming County, but now living in
San Francisco in the family of Charles
Scoggins, has Just been declared heiress
to a fortune of 100000. Samuel Sankey
was a pioneer Of 1849, and known from
one end of California to the other. He
went up and down the coast buying hides
and accumulated fortune. He had one
child, boy. In 1873 the boy was drowned
while swimming in Mission Creek. The
father and mother mOurned him long,
and their minds became unbalanced.
Sankey posted off to Pennsylvania. Here
he saw his little orphan niece, adopted
her and took her to his lonely home.
Sankey died possessed of ST., 600 in money
and Chicago real estate worth $4,000, be-
sides tannery in Mihinburg said to be
worth $4,000 and notes and judgments of
over $4,000.
Before his death Caroline had found a
friend in Charles 5. Scoggins of San
Francisco, and when Sankey's death
came Scoggins was appointed her guard
ian and applied to Judge Cotfey tor let
ters of administration on her adopted
fathers estate. This application was COM
batted by John Sankey, on behalf of the
Pennsylvania relatives. Thus began
long legal struggle, which has just ended.
The relatives who ignored the girl when
she was in want suddenly became over
whelming in fondness for her. John
Sankey made two trips to California, set
detectives to watch the girl and tried to
abduct her. He followed her to Chicago,
where Mr.. Scoggins had sent her, and
there pistols were drawn in dispute for
possession of the girl. Judge Coffey de-
cided the Sankey will invalid. because of
the old fellows insanity. He gave all
the estate to the girl, and allowed her S75
per month pending litigation. The rela-
tives gave up the fight in California and
transferred it to the courts of this State,
and again Caroline won. Then they
tried the Illinois courts for the Chi
cago property. The lower court decided
in the girls favor, and news comes that
thee ourt of last resort in illinois has suS-
tanned the lower court, and Carrie San
key has fortune Of over 100000 all in
her own right.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Some gossip is
being INDUCED in as to the probability of
further Immediate gold shipments in
view of the fact that the average loss of
gold to the Treasury in January for the
past twelve years has been $9,6000O0.
Some OF the Treasury officials do not
believe there is any prospect of such
shipments, while others hold the opinion
that with the stiffening Of rates of ex-
change such exports are altogether prob
able.
The belief is general, however, that if
such shipments are INDUCED in the New

EVANS ELUDEs THE OFFICERS.
The Sherift's Posse Fails to Find ANY
Trace of the Bandit.

Trace OF the Bandit.
FRESNO, Jan. At is Just one week
since this city was all agog with excite
ment over the escape of Chris Evans from
Jail. During all this time there has not
been an hour when there has not been
from ten to fifty men in search of the
bandit, yet not one of the Sheriff's posse
has spied Evans or his partner, Morrell,
so completely have they eluded their
pursuers. They have proven that they
know themselves what they are doing,
whether anyone else does or not
1t seems that Sheriff Scottis untiring
energy in pursuing the fugitives should
have accomplished his capture before
this, If such thing were possible, but
Evans is still free and the same as un-
heard of. Sheriff Scott still thinks his
men are in the mountains near Pine Flat
and continues guarding every avenue of
escape from the mountains to the plains.
The season OF rumors has not vet
closed, as shown by ro-day's reports.
News to-day was to the effect that tho
bandits were known TO be at a logging
camp at Demasters, on the Dinkey. 1t
seemed probable to many not acouainted
with the locality. Frank Dusy, an old
citizen, who sends his sheep on the Din
key every summer. and who knows
every foot of the country accessible to
human beings, was in the city to-day
and gave three reasons for not believing
Evans to be at Demasters' logging camp
on the Dinkey.
My first reson for disbelieving 1t,''
said Mr.. Dusy, sis that Demasters has no
logging camp on the Dinkey; second, if
he did have one the bandits could not get
to it at this season OF the year; and
! thirdly, if they could get there, they
would not desire to place themselves in
such jeopardy of storms and be shut out
from supplies" He continued by saving
that there are places this side of the DIM
key which afford excellent opportunities
for the men in hiding places where they
might kill enough game on which to live
some time. and yet be safe from any pur-
suing posse.
Quite number of Fresno citizens seem
to think there will be an early battle, but
their grounds for assuming this are
slight. John White, who has been in the
city for two days, returned to Scott to-
day, and will resume the chase with his
former comrades. Meantime the people
are prepared to believe any wild runor
which might nnd a footing, and news
paper men must run down and verify or
disprove them.
