| George Witte Shot, but Not Seriously,
by One OF Cards Posse.
Los ANGELES, Oct. 9.-Tom Burns.
one of George L. Cards posse, who cap
| tured Sontag, the famous bandit, shot
George L. Witte tonight while on the
platform OF the smoking car of the
Southern Pacific northbOund train. The
train was near West Glendale, going at
the rate OF twenty-five miles an hour,
| and both men fell from the platform.
Neither were seriously injured. but the
circumstances surrounding the affray
gives it peculiar interest.
The reward OF $1,000 offered by the
| Southern Pacific Company for the cap
ture OF Sontag was paid to George T..
Gard. Witte claimed that IL had been
wrongfully paid, and that he was ell
titled to 1t.
Gard and his posse. 1t will be remem-
bered, were the fighters in the battle with
Sontag, but Witte and his men came
upon the scene shortly after and were the
first to lay hands on the wounded bandit.
Nitte brought suit against the south ern
Pacific for the amount of the reward, the
trial of which was begun yesterday in
the United states Court, ending to-day at
noon, when it was agreed to submit briefs
instead OF arguing the case.
Burns was a witness Tor the railroad
and express companies, and was heard
to remark that Stingley, one OF Witte's
witnesses, had perjured himself in his
testimony given to-day. This led to
dispute at the Arcade depot between
Burns and Witte as they were about TO
depart for Nisalia, but friends separated
them before they came To blows. When
near West Glendale, Witte got up from
his seat and went to the platform. He
was followed by Burns. who, Witte
claims, the moment no closed the door
fired ut him. Witte turned and closed
on his opponent, receiving a shot through
the hand. when they both fell from the
platform.
The men were missed shortly after by
their friends, who left the train at Bur-
bank and returned by handcar TO West
Glendale, where they found Wiite. Burns
had informed the station agent there OF
the affair, since which time he has not
been heard from. Witte was brought into
the city on the santa Barbara train.

Bank. A complaint was laid before me
that the Bank Commissioners knew dur

vent. That complaint requested me to
take action under the Bank Commits
sioners' Act of 1887.
al Immediately wrote a communion
ton to the Commissioners, notifying
them OF the charge OF the creditors, to the
effect that they had known of the fact
that the bank was insolvent and had kept
the knowledge from the Attorney Cen
eral. The Commissioners stated that
they would furnish me with all letters
and data in their possession touching the
condition of the bank Just as soon as
they returned to San Francisco.
Il shall, of course, look into the matter
thoroughly, and see what there is in the
charge that has been made to me against
the Commissioners. They are supposed
to represent the depositors, and for this
reason have the right to visit and inspect
banks and their accounts to determine
their financial condition. If a bank il
not solvent they are supposed to at once
report this fact to the eAttorney-General."
