MARSHAL GARD ONCE MORE.


He IL Said to BE Responsible for
Evans Capture.
The fact that United States Marshal
George E. Gard took part in the second
capture Of Chris Evans at Visalia yes
terday morning created some surprise
among his friends here, "a he had kept
his secret well.
It is known that Marshal Gard re-
ceived q telegram from Visslia immedi-
ately upon his return from the hunt
after the Roscoe train robbers, inform
ing him that Evans and his companion
were on their way from the mountains.
1t is believed the telegram added that
they intended to surrender upon reach
ing Evsns' old home.
Another belief is advanced by Detect
i've Thacker of Wells, Fargo & Co.'s ex-
press. who 10 of the opinion that Evans
went to his home to see his wife, who
was preparing to 60 to Texas, and was
betrayed. Finding himself surrounded,
he could do nothing but surrender.
The local officers are inclined to give
Marshal Gard all the credit for the cap
ture. He did not leave this city until
Sunday afternoon, and he must GER
tsinly have known of Evans intentions.

Trains Blocked ON the Central

A Snow PIow Wrecked with Disastrous
Consequences A Binding Biz
card in Oregon, Washington

By the Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO, Feb. ia terrible
storm ragged on the Sierra Nevada
mountains last night. The wind rushed
and howled in regular hurricane order
all night, and there has been no abate-
ment in its fury today, according to re-
ports received at the railroad Offices in
this city. The snow came down in
great fakes, driftsd deeply and filed the
railroad cuts. In places the snow banks
are as high as the tops Of the cars.
Superintendent Wright has ordered all
freight trains out OF the snow belt, in
order to avoid possible blockade OF
trains. 1t is expected, however, at the
present time, that passenger trains will
be enabled to get through. with the
assistance of snow plows.
A serious accident happened this af-
ternoon at Cold Stream, station in the
mountains between Truckee and tunnel
No. IL. A heavy push pillow, backed by
seven large engines, and all running at
high rate OF speed, jumped the track
and plunged into snow bank at least
30 feet from the rails. Three men are
missing and it is not yet known
whether they were hurled into the snow
where there is bare possibility of find
ing them, or whether they were buried
under the snow pillow. The missing men
are Conductor E. d. Higgins, Engineer
l.. E. Graham and d. W. Terrell. En-
gineer Lovelace was very seriously in
jured in the accident. All the men were
riding on the snow plow. Superintend-
ent Wright left for the scene this fore
noon. He was accompanied by q num-
Der OF doctors and railroad wrecking
crew.
| The first news received at the railroad
Office from the wreck of the snowplow,
where it was reported four men were
missing and supposed to be buried be-
meath the enow and locomotives, came
tonight from Truckee by way of Chicago
and Portland. The dispatch brou sht
the comforting news that the men had
all been rescued and we're in Truckee.
Only one, Conductor Higgins, was in
iured to speak of.
AUBURN, CAL, Feb. 19.-The hardest
storm in years is raging in this section.
Over three inches of rain fell last night,
and today the snow pillow wreck near
Truckee and slide at Clipper Gap have
caused all trains today to lie at this
station. While driving from Iowa Hill
to Colfax this morning, Mr.. Donaldson
and Mrs. Stehr were washed off the
grade and killed. The lady was coming
to Auburn to get a divorce from her
husband, and Mr.. Donaldson was wit
ness.

SIX YEARS IN SING SING.
Boss McKAne Given = Pretty stiR
Sentence.


BROOKLYN, Feb. ia great crowd
assembled at the courthouse this morn
ing in anticipation of the sentence Of
John Y. McKans, the Gravesend politi.
cal boss, convicted OF election frauds.
An extra detail OF police was necessary
to keep order. McKane came into
court apparently the least concerned
man in the room, and laughed and chat
ted with his lawyer.
When the court opened, McKane'e
attorney moved for new trial and ar
rest OF Judgment. which were denied.
Then he asked that the prisoners pre-
vious good character be taken into con-
sideration, to which the court said it
could see no circumstances to warrant
such discretion.
The lawyer then asked for stay of
execution of 20 days to move notice for
q certificate of reasonable doubt. The
court suggested that it could be done as
we'll after sentence.
McKane was then called up for sen.
tence. When asked what he had to
say, he declared he was not guilty of do
ing or counseling any body else to do
anything wrong. The Judge then sem
fenced him to six years imprisonment
in Sing Sing prison.
McKane was at once taken to Jail,
pending application of a stay OF judg-
ment to the supreme court.
Owing to the mildness of Justice Bart
let's charge the prosecution does not
expect that the certificate OF reasonable
doubt will be signed. The defense will
20 ahead with the matter and see what
they can do for McKane. Deputy At
torney General Sheppard said he did
not think stay would be granted.
Counsel for the prosecution have con-
scented to a stay until Monday to give
counsel for the defense an opportunity
to file an appeal from the judgment of
the court. If they cannot secure fur
Their stay the sheriff will remove the
prisoner to Sing Sing.

AN OREGON BOOT FOR EVANS.
FRESNO, Feb. 19.-When Sheriff Scott,
Deputy Sheriff S. P. Timmins and
Deputy Constable Angel left for Visalia
this evening to bring back Evans and
Morel, Scott took with him fine Ore
gon boot intended for Evans. The jail
and prisoners were thoroughly searched
today by the sheriff's deputies for arms
and jail-breaking tools, but nothing was
found. This precaution was OF course
taken on account of the danger
OF another break for liberty
which Evans has seemingly found
lesu sweet than he expected. Judge
Harris today fixed the time for passing
sentence on Evans for O'Clock tomor-
row, after which no time will be lost
getting him to San Quentin. Sheriff
Scott expected to return with Evans
tomorrow on the o'clock train.
