A HALT IN THE HUNT FOR BRADY.
The Fugitive Now SkuIking Through
the YoIo Swamps.
He May be Trying to Work His Way
Down to the Sacra-
mento River.

Sheriff Johnson and Deputy Sheriffs
Schwilke, Mcdonald and Hunters and
Detectives John Thacker and Al Gibson
returned to this city last night from their
hunt for the man supposed to be Brady,
the train rObber.
They report no further Developments
in the chase, other than that man
answering the description of the one they
were after was seen at Swingle's Station,
eight miles from this city, in Yolo
County. about o'clock Yesterday fore
noon.
He wore black coat and vest and
dark overalls, and a three weeks
growth of beard, and was about five feet.
seven or eight inches in hight. He car
rled bundle about two feet in length
bound together with two leather straps.
Ii is supposed the bundle contained one
or more short barreled shotguns.
The officers made search of the
neighborhood of Madison, Davisville
and Gray's Bend but did not succeed i'll
finding their man.
The fugitive called at the ranch Of L..
Il. Hutchings, a few miles from Wood
land, on Tuesday evening and asked to
be allowed TO sleep in the barn, but W as
refused
He is probably skulking through the
willow Jungles Of \ o!o in the vicinity of
Putah Creek, but the country west of
there is thiCklv settled and it looks as if
the fugitive can hardly get away. A
close watch should be kept along the
river, as he may work off in that direc-
ton by way OF the Willow Point and Ba-
bel Slough road.
If familiar with the country that would
naturally be the direction he would take.
THE ELEVENTH-S STREET MACADAM
ill-Broken CObble is Being Put In
Heavy Rolling Needed.
Those who have to pay the piper for the
macadam street now under construction
on Eleventh street, south from O, should
look after their interests. The substruct-
ure Is now being placed in the block
nearest Q street. 1t is largely composed
of broken cobbles, the best of material
when properly crushed and placed. But
the metal now to be seen is exceedingly
coarse.
\ representative of the RECORD MON
measured pieces in plenty yesterday five
and six inches in width by two and three
In thickness. with all kinds OF length.
Much OF the cobble is so ill-brOken that
il presents & half round side, sometimes
two halt round sides. Or course these
will never bind" and no sort of pack
ing can make them keep i'll place. This is
not SO very bad however for substructure,
but 1t Is not true maCadam. If the stone
IN a su bstructure Is large, 1t should have
some seeming OF uniformity. But for a
two-layer macadam it is too large as now
seen Oh Eleventh street.
w hat is bad, however, is the presence
Of much cODble that is not broken at ALL
One Of these, weighing fully ten pounds,
was picked up out of the metal and left
with the lady residing at the southwest
corner OF Eleventh and o streets as a
sample. But unbroken cobble in plenty
is TO be found throughout the metal. This
should all be picked out before there is
any suriacing Of the roadway. Unless
this Is done there will be trouble; plenty
OF 1t when winter rains come and wear is
put upon the road
The surtacng should not be put upon
this roadway until the substructure has
been very heavily and repeatedly rolled.
and it will be better also to puddle it with
water. which was not sufficiently done
before the stone was put in. 1t is the
judgment of those who know what a
macadam road way is, that III this case the
coarse stone will have to be rolled until
the flat surfaces all bind, and that the
first. if it is expected to secure perma-
nent road and smooth surface.
There is any quantity of metal now on
the ground that ought to be taken out
and returned to the crusher to be reduced
to angular form, tor a round stone has no
place in roadway that is to cost what
this bit of street work is listed for.
