Reyes by the Sheriff and
Now in Jail.

There were four men engaged in fishing,
and at noon they entered house close by

the men went to the grocery-store and
bought some wine. They continued drink
ing until late in the evening. Then John
Trouvite and ex-Convict Crockett Westcok
went for more wine, leaving Rafael Apostal
and Jose Cassaus Carlo at the camp. When
they came back they found Carlo lying
dead on the floor. with knife-wound in
his body. They at once surmised that

some time. When the constables of
Tomales Township heard of it they went
to the scene of the murder, and placed
John Trouvite and Crockett Westcok under
arrest. This morning Sheriff Harrison
caught Rafael Apostal at Point Reeves and
took him to Tomales, where he will have
a hearing before Justice Fisher tomorrow.

lists on the Scene Arranging
for a Bonus.

BOISE, IDAHO, May 23.-There can be no
longer any question but that the projected
line from Butte to Reno, via Boise City,
will become reality within short time.
For the past few days representatives. Of
Denver, Philadelphia and New York cap
italists have been in the city arranging to
secure bonus from the people of Boise
and vicinity in the shape of a loan. The
proposition is for this section to subscribe
$3.50, 900 toward the project. This money
is to be used in starting work on the Sec
ton of the road reaching from Boise to
the Owyhee mining country, the syndicate
providing sufficient additional money to
complete that section of the road and equip
it. The completed section will then be
bonded and the funds used in building an
other section, and so on. Several meetings
have been held, and leading business men
of this city have agreed to subscribe not
less than 100000 toward the enterprise.
II. 81. Daniels who is here representing
Denver capitalists, stated that market for
the bonds has already been secured, and
that there was no question about getting
the money for the entire line. He further
said that when Boise business men were
advised as to- who was at the back of the
project none would doubt their ability to
carry it through.
The general plan is to build road con-
Meeting the Montana country and Idaho
with San Francisco, probably by connec-
ton at Reno, New. The line will cross the
Rockies at Lemhi Pass, strike the Lemhi
River, go up the Salmon through the
famous Challis mining country, following
down the Yellow Jacket, Clayton and
Stanley Basin country, cross near Sawtooth
Lake over to Atlanta and Rocky Bar and
down to Boise, then taking a southwesterly
course to Silver City, De Lamar and South
eastern Oregon to Reno, New.
The line has already been gone over by
corps OF engineers and found to be favor
able in all respects to the building of the
road. At no point does the elevation ex-
ceed 1850 feet, and from Boise to Reno the
grade is only 1400 feet in eighty miles.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, May 23.-Your
correspondent saw Judge A. P. Overton,
one of the resident directors of the Dona-
hue road, in reference to the article in
Wednesdays CALL entitled Another
Overland Line" and the reported connec-
ton of the Union Pacific and Donahue
roads.
Director Overton did not think the COM
bination had yet been made. but said he
believed in the near future that Santa Rosa
would be on the line of through overland
route, and that it would have relatively as
good position to Northwestern Califor-
MIA as Los Angeles had to the south.
The immense resources in timber and
coal north of the present terminus of the
Donahue road, he said, is going to induce
the extension of the road, and sooner OF
later there is sure to be an Eastern con.
nection.
The untouched forests of that region are
the finest in California, if not in the world
and it was not reasonable to suppose that
they would remain much longer unde.
veloped for want of an outlet by railroad
communication.
Judge Overton said he could not give the
precise time when work would begin, but
said that plans were being considered tC
extend the Donahue road, and he also ad
mitted that the country had been fully
looked over with that end in view Ht
was certain that the coal fields of Round
Valley were extensive and immensely val
liable, to say nothing of the vast timber
resources and agricultural possibilities
The county of Humboldt alone, he said
is larger than the State of New Jersey, and
has more undeveloped wealth within it:
borders than any equal area of territory
IN the United States.
The termini of the proposed road will be
Tiburon at one end and Covelo at the other.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, May 23.-
Steamers from San Francisco report the
waters along the coast fairly alive with
thousands of fur seals. The Umatilla
passed through immense herds yesterday
fifteen miles southwest of Cape Flattery.
This is an unusual occurrence for this sea-
son of the year, as it has been the general
custom in the past for the animals to
migrate in April to northern waters, for
which place all the sealing vessels are now
heading. The news of the where
abouts of the herd will doubtless
be carried north by the cutter Perry which
sailed for Sitka to-day to report for orders
TO Captain Hooper of the Rush, the COM
mander of the feet. The cutters will
probably be ordered to return and accom-
pany the seals north.
