Wilcox, with q native guide named

o'clock yesterday afternoon to the

out in hacks to point distant about a
half mile from the house in which
Wilcox was said to be hiding, and
which is located at the extreme end of
a spit running out to sea, where fisher
men are wont to rendezvous.
The vehicles containing the officers
were driven behind cluster of houses

and his party making their escape by

accomplished before they arrived at

time previous that hack driven
by a native would repair to the

ably to be used by Wilcox in escaping
or to be taken to some other place OF
concealment. Therefore, by keeping

+ Thoroughly cowed, thoroughly
frightened and glad to escape with
their lives, Robert Wilcox, Sam Now
lein, and the young lieutenants Greig,
Widemann and Marshall were all Sc
cure behind the walls and guards of
the police station last night.
The day was one of continuous VIC
tory for the Government. Nowlein
and his three young followers gave
themselves up in the Waialae region
and were brought to the station about
noon.
Wilcox was located during the
afternoon and soon after five walked
into the Marshaps Office surrounded
by the band of picked men who had
effected his capture. He was clad in
civilian clothes, q shabby drab col
ored overcoat and dirty slouch hat.
There was nothing of the appearance
of a military leader about him. On
his arrival in the Marshal's room he
stood talking with Attorney-Gene
Smith, holding his hat in his left
hand and with his right nerv-
ously stroking his chin; all
the while looking nervously about
him at the array of pistols and rifles
held by the men in the office. He
was soon closeted with the Attorney
General, Minister King and Marshal
Hitchcock.
All of the prisoners brought in had
a haggard, worn appearance, Carl
Widemann appearing to have suffered
especially from the rough life in the
mountains the past week.
These arrests were the principal
events CT the day. In the morning
the Cabinet held its usual meeting, at
which the question of opening schools
and a general resumption of business
was discussed. No decision was

AsWilcox with bowed head and defect
ed mein, disappeared inside the portals
of the police station, there was burst
of applause and general clapping of
hands; more, no doubt, than his pres
ence ever occasioned before.
When questioned by Attorney Gen
eral Smith and Marshal Hitchcock,
Wilcox showed considerable nervous
ness. He stated at the outset that he
had two meals out at Hopkins place,
and that when arrested he had no
arms. Asked for information concern
ing his movements and the where
abouts of the remainder of the rebels,
Wilcox stated that on Wednesday last
he, with some fifty others, was in
Manoa Valley. After being fired into
by the military, he retreated into the
bills and ascended to the ledge near
the pass between Manoa and Nuuanu
Valleys. When he arrived there he
concluded to give up the fight and
take care of himself. Selecting ten
men out of the number of his follow
eTs, he struck across northwards to-
ward Nuuanu Valley, near the reser-
voirs, and went up the west side OF
the valley to place called Maunakie-
kie (high mouDtain). No guards were
seen en- route. Remained there Thurs
day, Thursday night and Friday. Fri
day night went to Kalihi. On Sunday
crossed over to the house on the reef
beyond the leper receiving station.
Remained there until yesterday just
before being arrested. AT this point
OF the interrogation Wilcox failed to
answer whittier he was going In the
hack when arrested. All OF the ten
men who left with Wilcox from Ma
noa Valley had deserted him except
Ioela, who was arrested with him.

PRISONERS At ENSENADA.
Complaint of Three American
Stockmen Resident in
Lower California.
the Government to Release Them
and Their Property.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, April 5.-The cases
of the three Americans, Joseph G. S.
Carter, William Carney and D. A. Moore,
who were arrested during the latter part
of January by Mexican officials on the
charge of smuggling horses over the bor-
der, and were imprisoned at Ensenada,
seem from all accounts to be in more un-
settled state than ever.
Congressman Bowers brought the mat
ter before the State Department, with the
result that the men, after examination,
were ordered released, their stock returned
to them, and they were to use their own
discretion about returning to United
States territory with their possessions.
There the matter was supposed to have
ended so far as the Governments of both
countries were concerned, and official corre-
spondence between United States Vice
Consul Godbe, Assistant Secretary of State
Uhl, w. w. Bowers and NJ. Romero, the
Mexican Minister, would seem to bear out
that supposition.
The men, however, give an entirely diff
ferent version of the result of their trial,
stating that they are still virtually prison
ers, that their stock is still withheld from
them and themselves forbidden to leave
Mexican territory. They claim that local
officials are using discretionary proceed
fngs not warranted by Government orders,
and ask that the State Department give
their case immediate consideration.

The Sheriff and His Deputies Trail
the Men and Capture Them After
Shooting One in the Leg.

AUBURN, CAL, April 5.-Five Chinese
thugs are in Jail here, one with bullet
wound in his leg, and officers are searching
for two others of a band of seven high
binders who raided a Chinese store at
Dutch Flat last night, knocked down and
dubbed and stabbed the proprietor and his
son and fled with S1700 and lot of opium.
At II o'clock last night Yee Sang, a
Chinese merchant, with his son and
another Chinaman were sitting in the
formers store at Dutch Flat, when seven
Cinnamon entered and fiercely assaulted
the occupants with knives, clubs and iron
bars. They knocked them down, gagged
and bound them and then leisurely over
hauled the contents of the store. In the
safe and money drawer was $1700, which
they appropriated, and to this plumber
they added a miscellaneous assortment of
goods, including lot of opium. Yee Sang
was badly cut about the head and arms.
The first news of the robbery came to
Sheriff Conroy this morning in the follow
ing dispatch:
DUTCH FLAT, CAL, April 5.
To Sheriff Conroy: Six Cinnamon murdered
Yee Sang and son last night and robbed them of
$4,000. One is captured and the rest is at large.
Sheriff Conroy left Immediately for
Dutch Flat, leaving Deputy Mitchell to
guard the trains at Auburn, and word was
sent the various deputies along the railroad.
Subsequently Deputies Mitchell, Schwal-
lenberg, Waldo and Bobo went to Rock
Creek and the Cinnamon were discovered
hidden in the chaparral. One was cap
tured and brought to town by Mitchell.
Waldo gave chase to another, and finally
brought him down with bulletin the leg.
Mitchell, accompanied by Deputy De-
pendener, who has just returned from
Stockton, and by Bobo, Schwallenberg and
Waldo, returned to the chase and two
more Chinese were caught before dark.
Sheriff Conroy arrived at Dutch Flat on
an early freight, and tracing the robbers
this way, found one near Colfax, and put
ting his prisoner in buggy, drove to this
city. Tonight, at 7:40, Chinaman, hat
less and breathless, arrived in this town
He was evidently one of the highbinders,
and Deputy Sheriff Walsh arrested him
and put him in jail with his four COM
panions.
All the prisoners are well dressed, and
are without doubt high binders. One of
the Chinese had 5000 in coin, another had
500 in gold dust and four watches, and in
the brush where the Chinese had been in
hiding the officers found $4OO worth of
opium.
The fugitives were traced through in
formation given to the Sheriff by w. Baker
of Applegate. He was in the Sheriff's
Office when the news of the robbery at
Dutch Flat came. He then told OF having
taken five Cinnamon to Bowman station
in his wagon this morning. The Chinese,
he said, were extremely free with money,
and paid him literally for his services.
On this clew the chase began that re-
suited III the capture of five of the high
binders. Two more are still at large, but
may be captured soon.

PENDLETON, Or, April 5.-After a
long and exciting chase posse has cap
tured the Parr boys and brought them to
Pendleton. They were arraigned on
charges of horse-stealing and assault with
intent to kill.
Sheriff Houser, with Indian Agent Har-
per, put Indian policemen on the trail of
the PARIS, and for two days they made a
search. Last night they traced them to
the Boriper place on the reservation. As
the posse approached the PARIS hurried
out, mounted their horses and made for
the mountains. The chase was kept up
until the deep canyons of the Blue Noun
tains were reached when the fugitives
abandoned their horses and continued their
fight afoot The posse pressed on, and
when the distance between them was not
more than 100 feet the Parr boys turned
at bay, drew their revolvers and emptied
them at the officers. In the fusillade no
one was injured, and when the chambers
of the pistols of the horsethieves had all
been emptied they surrendered.

Il SAN BERNABDINo FIND.
Yuma Indian Grares Reveal IEeir.
Strange Custom of Burtal.

Yuma Indian Graces Reveal IiseiT'
Strange Custom of Burial.
SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, April g.
The discovery of an old hidden burying-
ground near this city yesterday revealed
strange custom which the Indians who
once inhabited this valley practiced toward
the dead. The bodies were doubled up and
inferred in short graves.
Some boys hunting for grouse among the
sagewood brush half way between here and
Cotton came upon number of depres-
sions and mounds in regular rows Upon
their return they reported the fact, and
further investigation was made 1t re-
suited in the discovery at the head (or sup
posed head) of each grave of a time-worn
and simple representation of the cross.
Other graves are marked by a border of
boulders, while still others are plain
mounds.
The present generation of whites, so far
as known, have never heard of this grave
yard, but two old settlers, to whom the
matter was mentioned, remember that the
aborigines had buried their dead at this
spot. The presence of the cross indicates
that they were the mission branch of the
Yumas, and had received some light on
Christianity from the early Spanish fathers.
This all-but-forgotten city of the dead
would be without interest if it were not for
the fact that every grave is short, none OF
them exceeding three or three and half
feet in length. An old settler, who re-
ceived the information from his father, ex.
planned the matter thus:
"It was the custom of the Mission In
dians to double the bodies of the dead,
bringing the feet up to either side of the
head and binding them with small
branches of young willows, which grew
and still grow thickly in the neighborhood.
You will perhaps wonder what significance
is attached to this strange custom, and
you will smile when tell you, as l smiled
when my father told me. The custom
arose from proyerbial laziness. 1t was less
work to zig a grave three feet long than
one six feet long; therefore the bodies
were shortened"

OPPOSING THE ACCOUNTS
Contestant Objects to the Al
loWance of the Claims of
the Executrix.
THE WIDOW SCORES A POINT.
Rendering OF Decision That Is
Partially in Favor of
Mrs. Barron.

SAN JOSE, CAL, April 5.-The Barron
case was up before Judge Reynolds this
morning to hear the objections of George
Barron, the contestant, to the allowance of
the executrix's second annual account.
H. V. Morehouse appeared for George
Barron and w. L. Gill and J. c. McKinstry
for the widow.
Mrs. Barron was put on the stand and
examined as to the services of s. G. Muir
ply, who has been drawing $500
per month as agent of the estate.
She said his services consisted of
the collection of the rents. Murphy
on being questioned said he had acted as
Mrs. Barron's agent since May 16, 1891.
Under her supervision he collected rents
and kept the property in repair, attended
to leases and held himself in readiness to
be called upon at any time. He said he
had made many loans for the estate on
which he had charged no commission. He
estimated the personal property to be
worth from $3.50, 900 to $400, 900.
Mr.. Morehouse objected to the item of
$2500 paid to e. s. Pillsbury as retainer
to defend the estate in the petition of the
colored claimant for partial distribution,
as Judge McKinstry was paid $4,000 year
to attend to the probate of the case and he
should have taken charge of the matter.
Judge Reynolds held that it was a legal
charge, and the executrix had the right to
pay the retainer, as the petition was dis
tinct and separate action. AS to the ques-
tion of excessiveness counsel made no mo-
ton and on that score the court would not
pass. Judge Reynolds said the retainer
did not depend upon the size of the suit,
and the question of the value of the SER
vices could not be determined until the SER
vices were completed. The propriety OF the
charges of Mr.. Murphy for services would
not be passed on, as it was rule to attend
the matter of compensations and commits
sions when the final account OF the execu-
trix had been rendered.
Some bills for taking depositions in the
will contest were allowed.
The hearing on the petition of George
Barron to have the family allowance re-
duced from $500 to $1,000 per month was
by consent continued two weeks.
On the calling of the calendar in Judge
Lorigan's court to-day, Mr.. Morehouse,
attorney for George Barron, the contest
ant, was allowed five days additional time
in which to amend the contestants costs
bill, and the matter was continued until
next Friday. The motion to set aside the
order staying the execution, under the ver-
dict rendered March 7, was denied.

4 MENDoCINO LAND CASE.
Filling at Ukidh of a Deed to Valuable
Property by Alleged Otcners.

Filling at Ukiah of a Deed to Valuable
Property by alleged Otcners.
UKIAH, CAL, April 5.-A deed to val7
liable lands in the coast portion of this
county has been filed for record in the Re-
corder's office in this city. The land en-
braced in the deed consists of about $50
acres and constitutes the mill site and a
portion of the lands now held by the Men
docino Lumber Company.
According to the deed the land was
located by Theresa Campbell, halfbreed,
in 1867. 1t was entered under the Sioux
halfbreed reserve scrip act, and on the
death of Theresa Campbell it became the
property of Jennie Craft, by whom, as the
sole surviving heir, it was decided to D. S..
Mckay. Jennie Craft is now resident of
Minnesota.
1t is said the land was originally trans
ferred to the present alleged owners by a
power of attorney said to have been given
about two years subsequent to the death of
Theresa Campbell. The land is quite val
liable and most of it is occupied by indus
trious settlers.
