STAGES MURDERER.
CAPTAIN LEES BELIEVES IT WAS
MCGUIRE. THE TRAIN-RoBBER.

CAPTAIN LEES BELIEVES IT WAS
MCGUIRE, THE TRANSPORTER.
The two men who held up the Oregon
Express were the same two men who COM
nlitted the robbery and murder at the
Ingleside House on Saturday night, March
16, and what had at first the appearance OF
being one of the few mysterious crimes OF
similar nature that have batfied the po-
lice in the past is now an open book.
1t was generally believed that the same
two men also held up and shot Robert d.
Hagerty in his saloon at the Cliff House
on the night of September %, and made
another visit to the saloon on February u
and robbed Frank Hagerty and four Gus
toners. That belief is beyond doubt cor
rect from recent developments.
In each OF these robberies the description
of the two men tailed, and one point that
led irresistibly to the conclusion that they
and the train-robpers were the same is the
fact that it was always the tall man who
was the aggressor.
Sheriff Cunningham of Stockton came to
this city on March 10, three days after the
murder of Stagg. He had been on the trail
of the two robbers who held up the east
bound overland express train on March 8
at Ben Ali a wayside station near Sacra-
mento. Their descriptions corresponded
exactly with the robbers who operated at
the Cliff House and at the Ingleside House.
The Sheriff remained here four days and
took hand in searching for the Stagg
murderers, believing that if they were
found he would find the two train robbers.
He was very much chagrined when the
object of his visit was published, and
bluntly said that there was no use OF
looking longer for them here, as they
would have left the city.
Captain Lees yesterday received lnforma-
ton from Marysville that the two men be-
longed to this city and had hired their BIZ
cycles from the firm of Baker & Perkins,
on Van Ness avenue and Market street.
The bicycle found at Marysville bore the
name of the firm, and the fact was estab-
lished when member of the firm went to
Sacramento yesterday morning and identi-
fed the dead robber.
The captain received further intimation
that the train-robber who made his escape
lived at 305 Grove street. A visit to that
place elected the information that young
man had lived there since November last.
His name was Jack Brady.
"He had no settled occupation" said the
landlady, "and used to go away for day
or two at time for visit to the country.
He left altogether about week ago, say
ing he was going either to Stockton or Sac
ramento, where he had often been before.
He left his trunk here and said he would
send for it as soon as he got settled. Two
men used to visit him often, one of them
being a tall man. Brady was bicyclist and
took his bicycle. with him when he left,
about week ago.
81 know of nobody of the name OF Miss
Walters and / never saw Brady in the
company of any ladies. He may have been
keeping company with a lady of that
name, but if so | was not aware of it.

orTo FAoTo ARRESTED.
He Ise Wanted in Montana for False
Registration in Battte.


Registration in Blttte.
DENVER, CoLo., March 31.-Otto c..
Floto, the manager of the "Old Tennessee"
company, has been arrested in this city, at
the request of Detective Scott of Butte,
Mont. The charge against Floto is per-
jury, and the claim is made that he
jumped his bond when he left Butte. His
trouble in Butte was the result OF the
warm contest which took place last fall in
Montana over the proposed removal of
the State capital from Helena to Ana
conda. Floto, it is said, registered too
often. He was arrested and put under
$500 bonds. His trial was set for March
"a. the officers say, and he was not there to
appear.
Floto said he had been in Helena almost
a year. Seeing an opportunity to make
some money, he organized the "Old Ten
nessee" company and started upon tour
with the company. He went from Butte
to Anaconda, Salt Lake and finally to Den
yer. He was much surprised apparently,
at being arrested. He said it was his in
tention to start for Butte to-day. Floto
has been somewhat prominent in sporting
circles as manager of pugilists.

NEW YORK, N. Y, March 31.-The
United States Grand Lodge of the Inde-

institution of the American Israelites. The

TRAILING THE FUGITIVES.
BELIEF THAT THE ROBBERS ARE IN

BELIEF THAT THE ROBBERS ARE IN
HIDING ON THE HAoGIN GRANT.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, March 31.-It
would be almost impossible to gather to-
gether more disgusted assortment of de-
tectives, Sheriffs and officers than can be
found in Sacramento tonight. The story
of the flight of the survivors of the at
tempted train robbery yesterday morning,
in which Sheriff Bogard lost his life and
one of the robbers was killed, as published
in the CALL, has been found to be abso-
lutely correct.
The murderer entered this city at an
early hour yesterday morning. Since that
time no trace of his whereabouts can be
ascertained. While the detectives and
Sheriffs were engaged in tracing down
numberless stories OF wild bicycle riders
the man wanted was quietly resting in his
hiding place in this city, and recruiting
his energies for another long nights ride
that would carry him in such close prox-
unity to San Francisco that he could easily
escape. In addition to the theory already
related. that the robber headed toward San
Francisco. it is believed by a number of
the officers conversant with the topography
of the Haggin grant, whose borders begin
at the end of this same Twelfth-street
bridge where, on various occasions, the
trail of these same robbers have been lost,
that the hiding place of the robbers is
somewhere on this tract, which is con-
ceded to be ten miles square and is covered
in part with impenetrable thickets of
chaparral, which extends for miles along
the bank OF the American River.
On this immense body of land man
could secret himself for months without
enduring any privation save that of soli-
tude as a great portion of the grant isused
for grazing purposes and numerous flocks
of sheep and herds of cattle are constantly
on the range, where steer could be shot
and never missed. The gardens of the
farmhouses would be source of supply
from which to obtain vegetables and fruit,
and one could easily procure other neces-
safy provisions and necessities from the
chinese stores situated at Mississippi Bar,
al old mining center, populuted entirely
bv Chinese and well known as hiding
place for desperadoes of all classes when
desirous of escaping pursuit.

VANCOUVER BIGAMY Case.
ANTECEDENTS OF THE WIFE OF
THE MAN UNDER AR
REST.
INTERESTING PHASES OF THE MAT.
TER ON WHICH THE PRISONER
Is SILENT.

VANCOUVER, B. c.. March 31.-The
case of John Sewell Bates, arrested here
for bigamy, as mentioned in last nights
dispatches, may prove an interesting one.
1t is stated that Josephine Dauphin, the
woman Bates married in Victoria some six
years ago, is no less person than the wife
of the late NJ. A. Dauphin, president of the
former Louisiana Lottery Company. and
well known in the Southern States. Bates
claims that when he met her she repre-
sented that she was a widow, her husband,
a merchant, having died in Europe. 1t is
rumored here, however, that .Dauphin and
his wife separated without being legally
divorced.
When asked regarding this matter Bates
refused to either deny or confirm the story.

ROMANCE OF SANTA CRUZ.
TWO YOUNG LOVERS FROM BEN
LOMOND WED ON THE
HIGH SEAS.
THE OBJECTIONS OF PARENTS
QvERcoME BY A BIT OF
STRATEGY.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, March 31.-Out on
the swells of the Pacific Ocean, whose
waters had the sheen of gold under the
glare of a summery sun, in the domain
that is Of no country, and where neither
law nor its minions could lift a restraining
hand, two lovers to-day took the vows that
made them man and wife, and yet that no
law should interfere on their return, a
representative of justice tied the silken
bonds.
Harry Easom of San Francisco is youth
who has seen twenty summers come and
60. Some time ago he met fair lass of
Ben Lomond and she enmeshed his heart.
Mary Hinckley was the name of this girl
of the mountains, and she was just past
'sweet sixteen" 1t was the old, old story,
and the two lovers were happy for a time,
but when the youth proposed to marry his
sweetheart he encountered an obstacle in
the parents of the girl. They would not
listen to the pleadings of the suitor, and
sternly forbade him continuing his suit.
The lovers were downcast, but the youth
was not of friable nature, and the oppo-
sition of the parents only made him more
determined to succeed. Many plans were
COuSlQeTeu. All clOpcIuCliO W tlc HIT
toprolis at the Golden Gate was not to be
thought of, for there was lack of funds
with which to travel, and the youth was
not possessed of much of this world s
goods. But they finally decided upon a
plan which was sure of success, and which
involved but little outlay of coin.
Ben Lomond is fifteen miles from this
city, but the roads are good and to people
accustomed to the mountains it is but an
afternoons jaunt to this city on foot.
Bright and early this morning the two
young people left their respective homes,
and meeting at trysting place they
started on their journey to Monterey Bay.
Arriving here they proceeded at once to the
beach after calling at the Office. OF
Justice of the Peace Gardner enlisting his
good offices in their cause. They were not
long in finding boatman, and the little
craft was soon far out on the heaving bill
lows. When the boat with it's occupants
was far from the shore line and beyond the
three-league limit, the lovers joined hands
and there on the boundless ocean the
Justice in due and legal form made them
man and wife.
When the boat again made fast to the
wharf two happy people clambered up the
landing stairs and tomorrow there will be
surprise in one household, and chance
for parental forgiveness and blessing, for the
bold lover and his plucky little wife have
surely deserved nothing less.

NOT SEIZED AT GUAYMAS.
PASSENGER PTERcY'Ss STORY KNENT
THE SAN FRANCISCO
SCHOONER.
CLAIMS THAT THE OWNER TOLD
HIM THAT ONLY HIS PROPERTY
WAS TAKEN.

Los ANGELES, CAL, March BE. M.
Piercy, the lone passenger on the mys-
terious schooner Vine stated in another in
stood as to the seizure of the schooner at
Guaymas by Mexican authorities. The
vessel was not seized, but the arms,
ammunition and some jewelry belonging
to him. At least he alleges that
Captain Burns, the proprietor of
the schooner informed him Just
before he (Piercy) left Guaymas. Burns
came to the train, Piercy says, just as he
was on the point of starting, and told him
that his property had been seized by Gus
toms officers and he had better stay and
help secure the things. Piercy told Burns
he could get out of the scrape as best he
could, as he done with him until they
should meet again in San Francisco.
Piercy says all the property he had on
the vessel that could be seized was a shot
gun, five cases of cartridges and little
jewelry. What Burns had in the mysteri-
Gus boxes, trunks and bales loaded at San
Francisco he did not know.
Piercy says Burns conduct was mysteri-
Gus throughout. At Guaymas he spoke
about going to some island in the gulf to
get load of guano to take to San Fran
cisco. At another time he spoke of going
to some island to get cargo of gypsum, or
to another island to load salt for Homo
lulu.
AT Guaymas, he says, Burns had trouble
with the American Consul about his crew,
who deserted the schooner. The Consul
insisted that Burns should pay the men
and lett them go. Burns refused, and said
he would stay and fight the case if it took
O month.
AS Piercy was passenger and had paid
money to be taken on cruise to the South
Sea islands he objected to being detained
in Mexican port.
He therefore demanded settlement, and
being unable to get it took the train home,
to await the return of Captain Burns to
San Francisco.
Piercy is resting here from the hardships
of his journey and says he must be in San
Jose by the middle of May to attend to
some litigation.

in his possession, but he may have had
them. would be greatly surprised to hear
that he IVES a robber, because he always
acted Ikea perfect gentleman"
Captain Lees corroborated the landlady' s
story as to Brady having lived there, and
said that Brady was unquestionably the
train robber who made his escape.
"Sick as l am," said the captain, Il
have devoted the whole afternoon and
night to thoroughly investigating this
case, and 1 say unhesitatingly that the
man who was killed at Marysville was the
man who murdered Cornelius Stagg, and
Brady was his companion in both cases.
''They were both expert bicyclists. and
may as well say now what have kept sec
ret since the Stagg murder, that traces OF
two bicycles were found, showing beyond
doubt that they rode to the Ingleside
House on their bicycles and rode away on
them after committing the robbery and
murder. That will explain what puzzled
people as to how they disappeared so rap
idly and yet no vehicle was seen.
'There are other things which do not
yet care TO disclose in the interests of JUS
tice, but you may say that know for GER
tain from my investigations that the dead
train-robber murdered Stagg and Brady
was his accomplice.
"The dead mans name was neither Nc
Guire nor Johnston. l knew what his
name was, but at present will not di-
vulge it.
81 have made careful inquiries as to the
supposed Miss Walters. There is no such
person. The two men used to go out rid
ing their bicycles with two young girls,
but Brady was not engaged to either of
them.
''It is correct that they got the bicycles
on which they rode to Marysyillei from
Baker & Perkins on Market street and Van
Ness avenue.
'I will examine Brady's trunk to-
morrow to see what l can discover in it.
at was reported from Marysville that
Brady and his companion used to fre-
quent saloon on Twenty-ninth street and
Potrero avenue at nights and play cards
till late hours, but there is nothing in it.
at is possible that Brady may come this
way, but l don't think it, We will, OF
course, keep a sharp lookout for him and
if he should make his appearance In this
city and county he will soon be under
arrest"
|. By the killing of the tall train-robber by
| Sheriff Bogard the perpetrators of three
daring robberies, and perhaps more, in
which a tall man and smaller man wear
ing marks figured, have been discovered,
and the reign of terror that has existed in
| the Mission and other outside districts
may now subside.

WHEATLAND, CAL, March 31.-Bar-
keeper Wallace was shot and seriously
wounded in row in ''The Bowery," a
notorious and disreputable resort on the
outskirts of town, early this evening.
The Bowery is low-class drinking and

night and revelry ran high until after mid
night. At 1 80 o'clock William Barrett, a
hotel waiter, attempted to slap one of the
women in the place, when Wallace, the
barkeeper, interfered. Barrett drew a
pistol and fired, the bullet striking Wallace
in the center of the breast. There is little
chance of his recovery and the waiter is in
custody. Public sentiment is much aroused
by this incident and the Bowery is doomed.

PURIFYING THE FRASER.
A Decision That win Afect the Salmon
Gamers.

VANCOUVER, B. c., March 31.-Justice
Drake has given a decision in the case of
the Attorney-General of Canada VS.. Even
& Mum. The action was to restrain de-
PENDANTS from polluting the waters of the
Fraser River with offal from the canneries.
The Judge gave judgment for the plaintiff
and granted an injunction restraining the
defendants and their servants from Gre
ating nuisance by polluting the water.
This decision is of great importance to
salmon Gamers in This province, as the
disposal of salmon offal has been vexed
question for many years. The case will be
appealed, but unless the decision is re-
versed it will necessitate the erection of
costly works for the destruction of salmon
offal, and this the Gamers claim they can
not well afford owing to the depressed con-
dition of the salmon market.
