THE LEADER NOT TAKEN
They Were Captured During
the Night by Mendoza and
Fresno Officers.
IMPRISONED AT HOLLIsTER.
Hi RapelJe, Who Captured Evans
and Sontag, Was the Leader
of Both Posses.

FRESNO, March Ali Rapelje, the man
who caught Evans and Sontag, returned
this afternoon from the Cantua Canyon,
where, with the help of the Mendoza Off
GERS, he captured twelve cattle thieves.
For year past the four Ashhurst broth
ers, who have a large stock range there,
have been losing cattle, amounting in all
TO about hundred head, and short time
ago livestock and hides bearing their brand
were found in a slaughter-house in this
city.
Hi Rapelje took hold of the case and dis
covered that there was an organized band
of thieves, number of whom stole the cat
tie and drove them part way to this city,
where they were met by others of the gang
who drove them here and sold them.
Rapelje left on last Thursday and drove
night and day until he reached the Cantua
Canyon. There he was joined by the Men
dota officers, and about dark the party
started up the canyon. They were satisfied
as to where the thieves lived and went from
one house to another until or o'clock in
the morning, rousing each owner and TAX
ing him into custody. Twelve in all we're
captured and the party started on the re-
turn.
The most careful guard had to be kept,
as the men were desperate and watched
every opportunity to make their escape.
The men were finally placed in the Hollis
ter Jail.
While returning Rapelie lost his way,
and when within ten miles of this city his
horse became exhausted and he had to
walk to Fresno. The leader of the gang
has not been captured, but the officers
know his whereabouts.

STUPID SENATE WORK.
Governor Budd Sent a Message of Advice
Regarding Bills.

Governor Budd Sent a Message of Advice
Regarding Bills.
SACRAMENTO, March 4.-The Legislature
has not only proved itself to be extrava-
CANT, but it has shown that it is stupid.
This was in evidence to-day in measure
from the Governor to the Senate.
Governor Budds message related to SEN
ate bills No. 55 and 1S2. The first bill was
introduced by Gesford and prohibits the
manufacture, sale or giving away of cigar
cites. Senate bill 1872 was introduced by
Simpson and amends the law relating to
property in the hands of the Public Ad-
ministrator. The bills were passed by the
Senate. They were sent to the Assembly.
The bills were then amended, but came
back to the Senate with the simple an
nouncement of their passage.
As the Senate had no knowledge of the
Assembly amendments it did not concur
in them, and the bills were transmitted to
the Governor for his approval or dis
approval.
The Governor suggests that the Senate
withdraw the bills for repairs or to take
such action as will correct the defects.

Two FIRES ON THE COAST.
MINE No. II AT BLACK DIAMOND,
WASHINGTON. Is BURN
ING.
A HAY BARNAT SALINAS DESTROYED
WITH It's ENTIRE
CONTENTS.

SEATTLE, Wash, March 4.-Fire was dis
covered this morning in the pump room
of No. u mine, at Black Diamond, about
1900 feet from the surface, and soon gained
such headway as to drive the men out.
The head of the stope has been sealed
and steam is being forced into the fire to
smother it.
This will take a week or two and mean
time 100 men are idle.
SALINAS, March AT $50 o'clock this
evening fire was discovered in the large
barn, containing 200 tons OF hay, belonging
to a. Augustine, the barn and hay being

FOR COUNTY Division.
Il General Bill Which W1U Change Fu-
tttre Fights.

Il General BIZ Which WiU Chan0e Fu-
tire rights.
SACRAMENTO, March "A general county
division bill, which will take future fights
for the organization of new counties out
of the Legislature, is now almost sure of
passage.
All of the advocates for new counties
have practically agreed to the amendments,
which somewhat limit the chances for new
counties. Twenty three Senator's have
been secured to favor the passage of the
bill and the Assembly will, in all likeli-
hood, agree with the Senate. So, after the
adjournment of the Legislature, the Gov
ernor will probably be called upon to name
Commissioners to pass upon the applica-
ton of the proposed county of Buena
Vista, which desires to separate from Tu-
lare of that of Santa Cruz as the northern
half of Santa Barbara desirss to be STYLED,
of the proposed county of sBidweu with
Chico as it's county seat and the best half of
Butte in the territory of the proposed new
county, and OF Sunol, the rural portion
of Alameda County, which may be de-
sirous of setting up government for it
self independent of the now dominant in
tuence of the urban portion of Alameda
included in the three townships, Oakland,
Brooklyn and Alameda.

bill, the bill on roads and highways and
bill $685. authorizing the Board of Ex-
aminers to visit various State institutions,
discharge unnecessary officers and equalize
all salaries. This last bill he felt sure
would be strangled in the Senate. AS yet
the amount really passed was light. 1t
was especially light, he thought, when
compared with the expenses of the session.
He called attention to the fact that from
1857 to 1861 there were but twenty y-seyen
attaches for the Assembly. Then all the
engrossing was done in writing. Now, he
said. there were $50 to do the same work
The extra expense came from unnecessary
employees.
Wade of Napa was not enthusiastic over
the work accomplished. The files, he
thinks, are not IN as clean a condition as
they were two years ago, while the contin-
gent expenses at the end of sixty days, he
was satisfied, would be as much as those
of last years entire session.
Il. V. Spencer of Lassen hoped to see a
great many important bills passed. The
county government and the fee bill would
effect great saving. He also hoped for
good results from the new roads bill. The
amount of work accomplished he consid-
cred not proportionate to the expenses in
Cured.
G. NJ. Belshaw of Antioch also hoped for
good results eventually, while deploring
the great expense incurred. He looked
for especially beneficial results from the
county government act and the new fish
and game laws.
Reid of Trinity has fought expenses on
every turn except on the district fair ques-
ton. He hopes to see the strong bills get
through both houses. He deplores the ex-
pense OF running the House, but, of course
lays the blame where it belongs, on the
Republican majority.

THE W4YMIRE BILL DEAD.
San Francisco WJu Not Be Inuaded by
the Legislators.

San Francisco WilJ Not Be InUdded by
the Legislators.
SACRAMENTO, March 4.-The Lexow in
quisition bill was practically buried in
Republican caucus tonight, though no
definite action was taken, but when Sena-
tor Earl moved to adjourn and the sup
porters of the bill could not prevent the
adjournment the bill met its death.
The measure was Waymire's modified
one, the scope of which is quite general,
but the intent Of which is to secure re-
count of the ballots in San Francisco by
which Governor Budd received his cleo
ton. Senator Gleaves presided.
The caucus was joint one, but the talk
ing was done largely by the Assemblymen.
Assemblymen Waymire, Spencer and Os-
born led the fight for the bill. The meas
ure was attacked by Assemblymen Brusie,
Dixon and Bettman. Brusie made an inn
passioned speech against the measure.
Dixon and Bettman characterized it as an
insult to San Francisco and upheld the
doctrine of municipal home rule.
Assemblyman Spencer grew indignant
and referred in sarcastic terms to Bettman
as the chairman of the Committee on Pub
lie Morals. A few sarcastic remarks fol-
lowed and then adjournment came. There
was no further caucus and the bill is dead.
Several days ago Governor Budd de-
clared to number of Senators that he was
opposed to the bill, and with the author
of the measure, half dozen Legislators
and a San Francisco morning paper the
inquisition bill sums up its final support
ers. San Francisco is not to be invaded by

PoRT TOWNSEND, March 4.-The early
sailing of the revenue cutter Corwin
for the north from San Francisco
has brought a semi-oficial announce
ment that the vessel will be stationed
at Sitka only until such time as the
Bering Sea fleet sails and that the force
of vessels this year in the north will
be made up only of revenue vessels and
without a single warship.
Ever since international patrol of the
sea was established England has been
derelict in complying with the terms of
the agreement, which was that both
countries should furnish like number of
vessels to patrol the waters within the
protected limits against pelagic seaIers.
Last year while the United States had
eleven vessels in the north doing duty of
protection, Great Britain sent one small
warship, which spent most of the time
anchored at Sitka, while the officers were
absent in the interior on hunting expedi-
tions.
This year the fleet will be composed ex-
clusively of revenue vessels, with the cut
ter Perry, now on her way around from the
Atlantic to San Francisco, as the flagship.

Dry Creek People liant a Brfda..

SANTA Rosa, March A large delega-
ton OF farmers from the Dry Creek region
were here to-day trying to get the Board
of Supervisors to give them change of
location in the matter Of the new bridge
to be built over Dry Creek
The old bridge was six miles north of
Healdsburg, and the new one was washed
away in the recent floods. The petitioners
claim that if the new bridge is built two
miles further down the stream it win ac-
commodate hundreds of families where
the old bridge did not satisfy a dozen.
There is bitter feeling over the matter
and the Supervisors will go up there to-
morrow to inspect the country for them
selves

Los ANGELES, March Appropriations for

Director-General Max Meyberg is much
encouraged at the outlook and particularly
with the interest San Francisco merchants

which we have imagined existed between
the northern and southern part of the
State is wearing away, and that we are all
going to work together for the building

Los ANGELES, March 4.-Superintendent
E. P. Clark states that there will be no
change in the management of the Consoli-
dated Electric Railway Company, which
now controls all OF the principal street

Bools having recovered, was discharged on

Eldridge was very friendly with Bools'
