Monticello. Word was sent to the officers
who went in pursuit. They overlook
them in Berryessa valley and ordered
them to throw up their hands. The
larger of the two resisted and tried to
shoot, and the officers shot him.
The other gave up. Their names were
unknown to the officers, and they were
taken to Napa. Most ali of the jewelry
and money was recovered.
Not long after the robbery took place on
Tuesday word was received by telephone
at Monticello. in the eastern portion of
Napa county. that the hghwaymen were
heading in that direction. and that they
might be expected before long. Come
they did last night, and started for Napa
on foot.
william G. Raney of Monticello tele-
phoned to Napa that the robbers were on
the road and might take passage on the
stage this morning foc Napa. Johnny
Gardner was the driver
AS soon as the message was received
here a posse was quickly organized under
direction of Under Sheriff Brownlee.
Those accompanying him were Jack True,
John Williams. driver of the Soda springs
stage, and Theodore Ball, district attor-
ney. The pc sse met the incoming stage
and occupants near the summit of the
Berryessa grade. six miles from Napa. 1t
had been the plan of the posse to hitch
by the roadside just the other side OF the
summit. but the stage was trfle early.
As the vehicles approached each other ON
the road. Brownlee, who was driving his
team, said: They are the men, boys,
hold them up.
They were told to throw up their hands.
Then the robber on the seat with Gard
ner opened fife. Brownlec says:
'As | was raising my gun to fire, a
charge of shot took away a portion of the
stock, and how l escaped is wonder.
The fellow who shot at me was shot by
Bell or Williams or by both. The other
one was brought down by Jack True"
"Buck" English, the fellow who was
shot, was we'll acquainted with the coun-
try through which they travelled. On
him was found $50 greenback and some
small change and his gun. The other
fellow had from $40 to $50 in money.
District Attorney Bell made this state
ment: "Under Sheriff Brownlee told me
that he wanted me 10 go out with others
after the stage robbers. He had been in
formed that they would come down from
Monticello on the stage. Just as we came
to the top of Berryessa grade we met the
stage with the robbers coming up on the
other side OF the summir, one on each
seat. Something was said, ana then the
robber in the front seat. sitting at the
side of Driver Gardner, raised his gun
and fred at Williams and Brownlee
missing them both. At the same time
Williams fired at the robber twice. The
stage then drove past us, the horses be-
ing frightened.
The man in the back seat had jumped
out, holding up his hands and saying:
Don't shoot. The man with the gun
was still on the front seat of the stage

silver PARTY'S PROPHETS
Mass Meeting Last Night at
Hazards Pavilion
A UNITED AMERICAN PARTY
That Is What General A. J. Warner
Says II Must Be to Win
Four Important Automatic Assertions and
Other Ideas Suggested by the
Honorable Joseph c. SibIey

Over 1000 people assembled last night in
Hazards pavilion to hear those two
staunch warriors for the cause. General
A. J. Warner ana Hon. Joseph c. Siblcy,
speak on the subject of bimetallism.
Women there were as well as men. and
men there were OF all nationalities, black
as well as white. and one Chinaman. All
parties were represented, too, apparently,
for when the Democrats or Populists were
appealed to by the speakers there was
loud applause. and when allusion was
made to the chief magistrate of the coun-
try in termas other than mplmentary
the response was immediate and en-
phatic.
At 8 o'clock the Blanchard Fitzgerald
band marched in, took their places in
front of the audience and played two Sc
lections. The speakers of the evening took
their places on the stage. escorted by the
officers of the Los Angeles League of the
Bimetallic party, and were backed up by
number of prominent citizens and their
ladies.
Mr.. John r. Berry, secretary of the
league, addressed the audience and ex-
planned the significance of the meeting
and the movement. which he insisted
was new declaration of independence.
One pillar was lacking in the national
system of finance. Mr.. Berry said, and he
would introd uce two gentlemen who pro-
pose to erect that pillar, men the mere
mention OF whose names was enough,
since their reputation was national.
The first was Hon. Joseph G. Sibey of
Pennsylvania, who was greeted with pro-
longed and vociferous applause as he
stepped to the front OF the stage. NJ. Sib-
ley is the same type as in fact, he
is composite of Governor Mckinley Bob
Ingersoll and Napoleon. His delivery is
earnest and his discourse full of statistics
that were convincing. and was in brief
as fo lows:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: !:
My companion to the west is a gentleman
who for four years battled for the pre-
servation Of the Union; he shed blood in
defense Of the black slaves, and we have
come not to teach the people OF the west,
but because the white as well as the
blacks here are threatened with slavery.
l believe geographically if we had
started in Maine we would be about half
way west.

further west to get TO the central point

During the day the Democrats filibus-

out the hour of 3 AMI sounded the death
knell of the legislative session of 1895, the
clerk was in the midst of roll call on
dilatory motion made by Democrat. AS
soon as Governor Watson (Democrat)
who. by reason of the fact thai he was
speaker of the senate before his election
to the gubernatorial chair upon the death
of Governor Marvin. presided over the
JOINT session. announced the sine die ad-
journment. Speaker OF the House McMul-
lin, Republican, arose and formally de-
clared Henry A. Dupont elected United
States senator. This action had prev
iously been agreed upon by the Republi :
can leaders.
The Delaware legislature is composed
of twenty-one representatives and nine
senators. sixteen being majority on
joint ballot.
The Republicans claim that when Wat.
son, by virtue of his position as speaker
OF the senate, succeeded to the governor
ship on the :desth of Governor Marvin,
one month ago. the number of senators
was reduced to eight and therefore there
were only twenty-nine on joint ballot and
that fifteen votes constituted majority.
On the other hand the Democrats and
Governor Watson claim the law distinctly
declares the 'speaker of the senate" shall
become governor. Therefore if Mr.. Wat
son withdraws from the senate. he ceases
to be speaker of the senate, and conse-
quently ceased to be governor.
The question will occupy large amount
OF public attention for months to come.
Whether the governor has right to ap-
point is disputed question. If he has
