have received reliable information that
he is now making his headquarters on
the Upper San Joaquin, on Pine Ridge.
For long time the outlaw has been
stealing horses and cattle from ranchers
on this side of the Nevadas, but owing to
one has dared to give the pursuing ofti-
GERS any clews.
Three years ago Regan was subpenaed
to appear as a witness against Jim Law
son, the outlaw, then on trial at MADEIRA.
He failed to appear. and when the officers
went to arrest him he fled to the mounts
aims. where he has since been leading the
life OF an outlaw. There are three men
with him. one of whom, Mexican, is
now known to be wanted on the coast
for murder.
The four desperadoes have become very
bold recently, and their latest theft ls
likely TO bring on another determined
chase by the officers. The men descended
on ranch belonging to Constable Ingels.
of Sanger. and boldly drove off fifteen
head OF cattle. This has aroused every
officer In the county. especially as 1t has
at last been discovered whore Regan and
his comrades make their camp.
Among the officers who have joined
the hunt is Hi Rapelje, the man who
shot John Sontag, the famous train rob-
Der. Several other noted man-hunters
are preparing to go back into the noun
tains. There is q heavy reward for the
capture of the Mexican wanted for MUIR

and the men can. if necessary, lie in hid

A Clever Criminal Trying to Get Ou

A Clever Criminal Trying to Get Out
of the Insane Asylum.
STOCKTON. July This morning
Walter Everett Stone was brought before
Judge Budd on q writ OF habeas corpus
sworn out by Attorney w. F. William-
son of San Francisco. Behind the pro-
ceedings there is a long story Of a clever
criminal, according to his attorneys
statements and rich relatives.
This ls not the first time Stone has
been in court. Once before he was sent
to the asylum at Agnews. when arrested
on criminal charge. The reason that
stones friends are now so anxious to get
him out of the asylum is that Joseph FL.
Choate. one OF the leading New York
lawyers, 10 anxious to have him 90 East
to contest the will Of rich relative who
died recently.
There is criminal charge pending in
Chicago against Stone for stealing 5000
worth OF silks from q store in which he
was employed as night watchman. When
sent to ARnews he had just been arrested
on another criminal charge, but his
brother then declared that he was insane,
and had him committed to that Institution.
He was sent there July Z, 1892 and was
detained q little more than three months.

ishment is not known. but this inference
would be drawn from the statement of
Stone himself on the stand this morning.
Attorney Williamson had his client
take the stand, and he told very plausi-
BILE story. He said that he had employed
an assistant to aid him in watching the
store. and that this man falsely swOre
that he (Stone) robbed the establishment
of the silks, when the assistant was in re-
ality the guilty party. After he had been
in Jail in San Francisco for one hundred
and two days awaiting trial, his friends had
him brought before Judge Belcher and
tried as to his sanity. He was adjudged
insane. and placed in the Stockton insti-
tuition.
Asylum superintendent Clark said
that he was in peculiar pre6iicament. as
be did not think the man was absolutely
sane. but that he should not be in the
asylum because he was not dangerous.
As the matter stands now, the man cam
not be discharged until the case against
him in San Francisco is dismissed, or un-
til the asylum authorities declare he is
absolutely cured. Attorney Loutit rep
resents the asylum officers in the matter.

Rooms Where the Body Lay.
New YORK, July 2.-There was q
ghastly show in the Eighth Ward to-day.
The funeral of DR.. Robert Buchanan, " no

was held at o'clock. It took place from
the eundertaker's shop of Anthony Hahana
at LIZ Varick street. just because the
body of all executed wife murderer lay
there, the shop was crowded by thou
sands Of people ever since the body was
brought down at 6 O'Clock last night
until it was taken away this morning.
From the time Of its arrival until 2. p.
NJ. hundreds Of curious men and women
and small children continued to pour
through the door, and, with heads barred.
gazed curiously at the face OF the dead
man as they filed around his coffin.
Early this morning Undertaken Ha-
hama made an effort to close his shop, but
his bell was kept ringing 80 incessantly
that two hours later he again opened it.
Throughout the morning the crowd
continued to pass in and at 1880 o. clock
it was estimated that fully 1,50O persons
had viewed the features of the dead mur-
derer. At times the throngs were so
great that the police had to be sum-
passing the coffin everyone observed the
usual token of respect for the dead. The
men all removed their hats, and not a
word was spoken in the room where the
body lay. During the entire hour there
was not q single break in the line, and
frequently the crowd became SO great
that the doors had to be closed that the
room might not become too jammed.
Many mothers brought their babies in
their arms. 1t was estimated that by
O'Clock fully 1000 persons must have
viewed the body since its arrival. Some
of the moro impatient ones made des-
perate attempts to satisfy their curiosity
before their turn arrived, climbing over
fences, trying to make their way into the
rear OF the house. Most Of these at
tempts were frustrated. Steadily the
Jam increased until the line which passed
around the coffin was two and sometimes
three deep.
Special police were on hand for the
funeral, as it was expected that the num-
Der Of spectators would be enormous.
The coffin which contained the body
rested on two stools In the front Of the
shop. II was plain black coffin lined
with white satin. On the lid was silver
plate bearing the inscription, '.Robert
Buchanan, died July /, 1895, aged 81
years."
No flowers were in the room this morn
ing. The face of the executed man look cd

Deafness Cannot be Cured


by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
diti0p of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in-
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result ,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
