No More Big Rewards.

The Southern Pacific Company has
withdrawn it's offer OF a standing re-
ward Of $1,000 for information lead
Ing to the arrest and conviction Of
any train rObber or wrecker. Mr.
Towne was the official who first made
the offer Of a Standing reward. This
was about n year ago. Mr.. Fill
more, the General Superintendent. j.
sued a circular yesterday Withdrawing
the offer OF behalf of the comrany
This official act of Mr.. Fillmore shows
mat he is performing the duties of
the late General Manager and has
been Entrusted with the authority Of
that position.
The withdrawal Of the reward is a
precauiion to prevent being bound TO
pay $4,000 IN ease Cf a train robbery
where the 10 is trifins Mr.. Towne
offered the reward after the great
railroad strike in the su of 1894.
n the company thinks it can better
afford to offer special rewards for each
future case Of train robbery or wreck
ing thar to continue in force the offer
made by Mr.. Towne.
Under Mr.. Towre's offer two re-
wards have already been paid and one
more will have to be settled. The first
$4,000 was paid for the conviction Of
Warden, the Court distributing the
money among the several detectives
claiming TO have been the men who
caused his arrest and conviction.
The family of Sheriff Borard re
ceived the nex 5000 on accoun+ Of
the train robbery in which Browning
and Brady were concerned, when Be-
gard killed Browning and the Sheriff
himself met & tragic end.
The captors Of Brady will get the
next 5000. Justice of the Peace
Johnson and Deputy Sheriff Melon
aid caught him. Detective Ahern of
Sacramento was the first, however, to
identify Brady in his wanderines
long before he was caught. Sheriff
Johnson Of Sacramento also had |
much to do with hunting him down, |
80 it is probable there will be a divis- |
OF the money among half a dozen
people.

NEGRO MINERS TOOK TO THE.WOODS
Whites of Spring Valley. ILL.,, Run the
Black Men Out of the Region.

Spring Valley, ILL.,, Aug. 4.-"The Lo-
cation patch of some hundred odd
company houses near No. shaft, in
habited almost exclusively by negroes,
was this morning visited by n vengeful
mob of 500 white miners from this city
and given a taste of mob violence. Last
night about midnight five colored men
held up a white man named Barney
Role, between this city and THE Loca-
ton" and after robbing him of nearly
800, fired three pistol shots into him
and left him for dead. Role is the third
man shot on "The Location" in the past
few weeks.
When the white miners of this city
heard of the outrage they assembled
on the public square and decided to
march in a body to General Manager
Dalzell's house and demand the dis
charge of every colored man in 1.-THE
Location" A brass band was secured
and the mob repaired to the general
managers house. He refused to grant
what the white miners wanted. They
then told him that as he was not dis
poed to run the negroes out of town,
they would take the matter up them
selves and with that they marched
toward No. g. BY the time the mob
arrived at "The Location" most of the
negroes, having been notified of the
wrath of the whites. had fled to the
woods. About a dozen We're caught
and treated to most violent kicks
Stones We're hurled at them and shots
fired. Two were shot but not seriously
hurt.
The boarding house for colored men
at No was then attacked. All of the
inmates fed for their lives. The mob
ransacked the houses breaking furni-
ture and committing other depreda-
tions BY noon today every negro had
fled. All afternoon "A gang of men with
pistols and shotguns secured the woods
hunting for negroes to shoot at Sher-
ih Clerk arrived late this afternoon
with about a dozen deputies. No more
trouble Is anticipated unless the ne
groes attempt to come back. Every
thing is quiet but trouble is expected
tomorrow if the negroes go to work.
A later investigation shows that there
We're more negroes seriously hurt than
at first reported. Those most seriously
injured are:
Granville Lewis, dubbed with rifles.
Clem L. Martin, shot in the back of
the head.
Norman Bird, shot in the neck and
head.
Mrs. Bird, shot in the right cheek
Maria Bird, shot in the breast.

ouRRANT PLAY WAS IN CONTEMPT
1heater Manager VIII Go to Jail-New
Stories Afloat.

San Francisco, Aug. 3.-The manager
and actors of the Alcazar theater were
before Superior Judge Murphy again to-
day in the action FOR contempt of court
in producing 1.-The Crime of a Century"
a play founded on the Emanuel Baptist
church murders. Judge Murphy had for
hidden the production during the trial of
Theodore Durrant for the murder of
Blanche Lamont on the score that the
production of the play might infame pub
lie sentiment against Durrant. The court
found w. r. Daily, the manager of the
theater guilty of contempt and sem
fenced him to three days Imprisonment in
the county jail The execution of the sem
tence was deferred until Monday that
Daily might move for a writ of habeas
corpus.
The story printed yesterday that wom-
an passing Durrant's house on the night
Minnie Williams was murdered heard
Durrant burning something that smelt
like burning clothing is doubted by both
the prosecution and defense.
There Is mother story about Durrant in
circulation that the police have not been
able to trace. 1t is said year ago a girl
not yet IL years of age went to the church
with Durrant and on her return home
told such a story of what she had suf-
fered at his hands that her parents pro-
posed having him arrested. Their fear
that the stigma would remain with her
through life was so great that in the end
they decided to let the man go unpun-

CAPTURE OF SYMES
Murderer of Constable Conlee in
Jail at Missoula.
WAS WORKING ON A RANCH
His Employer Summoned n Posse, but
Was Compelled TO Hit Him
With n Club.

Helena, Aug. 4.-This afternoon about
4:S0 o'clock Sheriff Mclaughlin and
Deputies Curran, Corbett and Pickette
came into Missoula from Lo Lo bring
ing with them A. j. Symes, who is
wanted in Adams county, Wash, for
the murder of Lew Conlee, constable,
June "a. of this year, and for whose ar
rest large rewards have been offered
Symes has for the past three weeks
been workingson the ranch of Dave Nc
Clay, about IA miles from Missoula
and for the past week has been herding
sheep for Mr.. McClay on Harvey creek
about two and a half miles from the
ranch, across the Bitter Root river.
While coming to Missoula yesterday
Mr.. McClay saw at Lo Lo the notices
of reward for the arrest of Symes, to
which was attached his photograph,
and Immediately recognized it as his
shepherd, who had given his name as
Frank Davis The officers at Missoula
were at once notified, and Mr.. McClay
was appointed as deputy sheriff
When the sheriff reached Mr.. McClay's
ranch this morning Symes had brought
lne Sneep uOWn 90 tne river TO water,
but was in rather thick timber and it
was decided unwise to attempt to make
the arrest, so Mr.. McClay went across
the river where Symes was and tried
to induce him to go to the house and
get team to do some hauling, but
Symes was suspicious and refused to
go, and as he was armed to the teeth
Mr.. McClay did not try to enforce
obedience, but picked up a piece of
scantling that was lying near at hand
and sitting down began to whittle upon
it.
Presently Symes turned away. Mr..
McClay jumped up suddenly and struck
him across the head with the scantling,
knocking him down, and disarmed him
before he could make any resistance.
He insists that his name is Frank Da-
Wis, but on his way to Missoula, when
ever the sheriff addressed him as
Symes he always replied, and the Off
GERS are sure that they have captured
the right man. The sheriff of Adams
county, Wash, has been notified of the
arrest and is expected in Missoula to-
| morrow evening

mendous explosion was heard and De-
coux's body was hurled several yards,
while 10 of the bystanders were thrown
to the floor and injured by the explo-
sion. The father Of Decoux rushed
upon the PROSTATE body of his son and
kicked him, exclaiming: "Canaille, as
sassin." Decoux had been carrying a
bomb beneath his coat and it was pre-
maturely exploded. Decoux was dis
emboweled and terribly mutilated and
expired Immediately. He was dismissed

the second Closed sunday.
New York, Aug. 4.-The reform po-
lice administration enforced another
dry Sunday in New York today Many
patrolmen are on duty in citizens
clothes to watch saloons, and they had
the assistance of the members of the
city vigilance league, who are opposed
to violations. Chief Conlin said to-
night that he had Travelled about the
city considerably and felt gratified at
the success of his campaign. Although
the saloons were shut pretty tight it
was apparent to outsiders that many
of them were doing business in a quiet
way with their friends. Acting Chief
Conlin admitted that it is an impossi-
bility to stop the sale of liquor in every
section of the town when it is possible
for a saloon keeper to supply the ten
ants in the building in which his place
is situated.
Where there is a demand" said the
acting chief, there is likely to be a
supply somewhere. 1t is a fact that
the proprietors of saloons who violated
the liquor law were more wary than
ever before and that they manifested
a wholesome dread of citizen spies and
they would take no chances knowingly,
and We're too smart to admit strangers
to their saloons, no matter how inno-
cent the would-be customer appeared.
The unique organization known as the
Girder club and fathered by Oliver
Sumner Teal, was opened for the first
time and many paid annual dues for
membership and partook of liquor re-
freshments there. Although the police
had not attempted to interfere with
the institution there seemed to be a
feeling of uneasiness over a rumor that
there was a possibility that Cpatain
Pickett would make visit. Both Mr..
Teal and his lawyer were emphatic in
saying that it was not in the province
of the police to close them"
