MAN-HUNT|NG IN MADEIRA
Outlaws Laverone and Roberts
Evade the Posse in
Pursuit.
B.oodhounds Get Off the Trail After
Reaching the Broken Buck
board.

MADEIRA, CAL, May s.-Outlaws
Laverone and Roberts, the MADEIRA jail
escapes, continue to battle the searching
posses. The only person who has returned
from the hunt is District Attorney Wal
lace. When he left the officers they had
not yet succeeded in putting the blood
hounds upon the track of the outlaws,
and no trace Of them had been discovered
since their broken blackboard was found.
Mr.. Wallace says the officers are of the
opinion that Roberts and Laverone are in
the vicinity of Quartz Mountain, which,
like the rest of the country in the foot
hills, affords excellent hiding places for
the bandits, as there are many caves sur
rounded by underbrush, which the officers
could not approach without running great
risk in exposing themselves as targets for
the outlaws.
Every rancher in the hills has joined in
the hunt, and the posse now numbers over
LOO men, all heavily armed.

British Captains Not Supposed
to Observe Bering Sea
Regulations.
CAN KILL WITH IMMUNITY
Canadian Shipping Profits by the
Activity of American Revenue
Cutters.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, May o.
Owners and hackers of sealing schooners
on Puget Sound are much discouraged
over the outlook for profitable work this
year, it being assumed by agents that only
one sealing schooner, the Eppinger, has
this year returned with enough skins to
meet expenses.
But the Eppinger has been here for more
than week vainIy endeavoring to find a
purchaser for its catch, and will leave to-
morrow morning for San Francisco with
the skins in the hope of meeting with
better success there. Captain White of
the Eppinger is very much dissusted with
the sealing outlook, from the standpoint
of the American sealer especially, and says
he will float the British flag when next he
goes out.
"There does not appear to be much in
the future for the sealskin trade" said
Captain White, cat least not under the
American flag. There is a lot of rigama-
role to go through by the captains of seal
ers that is simply foolishness.
Negotiations require that log shall be
kept showing the days doines, the num-
Der of seals taken, where found, in what
quantities, whether rolling, filming or
what, and all this takes lot of time that
ought to be spent at business, instead of
foolishness like this. This is what think
about it, and it is what every American
sealer thinks.
There's one thing that sealer can do,
and that is to 60 under the British flag,
and that's what good many of them will
do, as some have already done this sea.
De- II
great advantage over the American
when out at work, and under
the refusal of the British Government
to agree to the regulations that have been
provided by the United States Revenue
Department, British sealels are not sub
iect to anything like the restrictions that
surround American vessels"
1t is indisputable that the United States
regulations have always operated to drive
our sealers from under the protection oil
| the American flag.
Five years ago Puget Sound was the
rendezvous for big feet of sealing schoon-
ers, and they were outfitted on this side at
the opening of the season and returned
here for the close season, the business at
that time being in line for developing into
one of the chief shipping industries OF
Puget Sound.
But sealers were not long in learning
that the American flag afforded them lit
tie or no protection in pursuit Of what
they considered Legitimate operations.
They were pursued by revenue cutters and
seized for doing what British schooners
alongside of them were doing with impu-
nifty.
The greater part of the American
schooners were not long under the Ameri-
can flag after they realized the situation,
and the greater part of the British" SEAL
ing feet this year celebrated the Fourth OF
July in q manner that would do credit to
the most patriotic American merchant
man afoat.

INQUEST AT sAN LUIS.
DIR. Smith Net His Death by Being
1hrotca From a Horse.


SAN LUIS OBISPO, CAL, May s.-The
evidence in the Coroner's inquest held
to ascertain the cause of the death of
DIR. f. II. Smith returned verdict that
deceased came to his death through in
juries received by horse that he was
riding falling down with him.
A number of witnesses were examined
and there was nothing brought out which
indicated a murder. The verdict clears
the mystery of the case. DR.. Smith was
the dentist who was thrown from his horse
on the 18th OF April while returning from
the barbecue of the Native Sons at Syca-
more Springs. On account of the peculiar
fracture of the skull it was hard to believe
that it was sustained by fall from his
horse, hence the action of the Coroner in
holding an investigation. The doctor rode
a lively horse, and in refining it up it
reared, falling over backward. There was
nothing in the testimony of the witnesses
10 indicate that he was intoxicated at the
tine of the accident as was supposed.
The body was shipped to Philadelphia,
accompanied by the late doctors wife.
DR.. Smith belonged to one of the leading
families of Philadelphia, who are quite
wealthy.

SACRAMENTO DECISION.
All Indictments against Election Officers
Are 0uoshed.

All Ind ictsnents against Election Officers
Are Omashed.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 9.-Judge
Hinkson rendered decision this morning
quashing all the indictments found by the
Grand Jury against the election officers in
connection with the First Ward election
scandal disclosures in this city.
The decision is based on the failure 20
apprise defendants of their rights at the
time they gave testimony before the Grand
Jury. 1t is thought that a similar pro-
ceeding will be had in the matter of
charges brought against the members of
the Board of Supervisors.
Chairman Morrison of the County Board
of Supervisors when called to the stand
said that he had been summoned before
the Grand Jury to testify as to certain
matters pertaining to the Board of Super
visors.
He had not been told that he did not
have to testify and made no objection to
answering the questions, because he sup
posed he had to answer them. He went
before the Grand Jury second time
voluntarily.
He had heard that DR.. G. B. Nichols had
been before the Grand Jury and accused
the Supervisors of selling him his position
as City Physician for $500 and he
wanted to set this matter right and
had gone before the Grand Jury and asked
them to indict him SO that he could go
into court and clean his skirts of the
charge. The Grand Jury, however, would
not give him any satisfaction, and Fore
man We'll laughed at him.

number OF owners of fine stock have sign1-
fed their willingness to cooperate with
the managers in making the show great
event.
The second annual horse show. in De-

popular success that it was decided by the
board of directors that it should be made
more OF Pacific Coast horse show and less

kinsey when the latter met them. he
says:
"We walked along Spring street, and
near Court street we met this woman, and
she was with another woman. One OF
them put her arms about his neck and
SAID, Hello, George, when did you get
backp' l did not hear his reply. l walked
on few steps, and did not hear any OF
the conversation, except when she SAID,
Hello, George and he talked to her for
about fifteen or twenty minutes, and then
he came up to me and then turned down
Court street in the vicinity OF the Vienna
Buffet.
''The women were both dressed. so far as
could see, in black dresses. 1t might
have been blue, but it looked black at
night, and they had on what are COM
monty called dominos. The women acted
as II they were intoxicated. don't know
for sure, but they acted so. judged they
were from the way they walked and were
carrying on, and when they turned down
Court street they looked to me as II they
were going down to the Vienna Buffet. We
lost track of them right by the Vienna.
They were going from one side OF the
street to the other, and laughing and fall
ing against men that they happened to
pass. All that Kinsey told me was that
they were a couple of women that he knew
up In the northern part OF the state he
did not say in which city nor anything OF
the kind"
In the cross-examination Barber said
thousands of people were on the streets
joking and jostling each other, many be-
ing in mask He had seen but few
women intoxicated and did not drink him
self. The two women he saw were not OF
degraded type.
Just how soon the Dawson case will
come on for trial is question. Counsel
for Mrs. Dawson is now preparing inter
Iogatories which will be submitted to
court soon and then forwarded to Callfor-

turned. The plaintiff will have some
cross-interrogatories to be answered, and
after that both sides will be ready to com e
into court and have the case aired finally.

SEATTLE'S DIVORCE CASE.
Twenty Californians Depose in
Defense of Accused Mrs.

Deny That She Was Intoxicated at
the Fiesta in Los
Angeles.

SEATTLE, WASH, May 9.-Ex-Mayor
J. T. Ronald has returned from Cali
fornia. whittier he went in the interests
of his client, Mrs. r. L. Dawson, against
whom suit for divorce is pending. AS a
result of the visit Mrs. Dawson will go into
court with the dispositions of twenty or
more witnesses who will swear that Mrs.
Dawson's department was ladylike while
in California. Attorney Ronald inter
viewed nearly one hundred people who
knew Mrs. Dawson and he says they all
spoke well of her conduct during her resi-
dence in California.
1t will be shown that George Kinsey and
his wife, formerly Lottie Evans, have
made st tatements in their depositions
which were untrue and which they knew
to be untrue. For instance: Kinsey swore
that on the last day and night of the fiesta
at Los Angeles, Mrs. Dawson, Mrs. Rey-
nolds and Mr.. Eckstrom were carousing
about the streets, and that Mrs. Dawson
was intoxicated; that in the morning she
went around en- masque, and once when
she met Kinsey tried to kiss him. 1t was
with difficulty. Kinsey swore, that he ex-
tricated himself. Ronald says he will be
able to show that Eckstrom has been a
years; that he is a temperance advocate
and prominent merchant, and that he
was with the two women, but they were
sober and conducted themselves as ladies
at all times.
The Kinseys disappeared before they
gave the dispositions in favor of DIR. Daw-
son. The latter afterward alleged that
they had been gotten out of the way by
Mrs. Dawson, but the woman's counsel
proved that the charge was untrue. Ronald
was unable to locate them and Is satisfied
| they are not in Los Angeles.
The deposition of w. N. Barber Jr. of
| Los Angeles has been received by the
| County Clerk, and Judge Humes ordered
! it published, at the request of counsel for
DR.. Dawson. Barber gave testimony fa-
vorable to DR.. Dawson. He is but %
years of age, and his home is at Chats
worth Park, in Los Angeles County. He
at once goes into the matter OF George
Kinsey's meeting two women, one oi
whom is alleged to be Mrs. Dawson, at the

PORTLAND FIEND'S MANIA
Stranger Cosgrove Believes He
Is Commissioned to Take
Human Life.
Once Attempted to Choke the Mother
Superior of a Vancouver
Convent.

PORTLAND, Or, May 9.-Dr. W. II.
Wall of Vancouver, Wash, was in Port
land to-day, in company with Detectives
Welsh and Cody. He visited the County
Jail, to identify John R. Cosgrove, the
thug who attempted to strangle Marie
Leville, French woman in the White
chapel. In Cosgrove the doctor recognized
a man whom some weeks ago he treated in
the Sisters hospital in Vancouver. There,
the doctor says. he evinced the same mur :
derous tendency which led to the at
tempted murder here on the night of
April %.
One day Cosgrove essayed to choke to
death the mother superior, and on the fol-
lowing day he made similar attack upon
sister. Then DR.. Wall concluded that
Cosgrove must be insane. He was exam
ined by commission in lunacy and regu-
larly committed to the Steilacoom Asylum
for the Insane.
The doctor was ignorant OF the mans
discharge from the infirmary until he read
an account of his arrest here. DR.. Wall at
once wired to the asylum regarding Co.'S
groves discharge, and the reply stated
that the patient, during his confinement
there, failed to give the remotest evidence
of disturbance of his mental equilibrium.

man." added DR.. WALL sin fact. entirely
too unsafe to be without restraint. He
told me that he had received letter from
New York commanding him to strangle
some one. That written mandate, Cos
grove said, had hypnotized him, and he
felt bound to obey it before he could break
the spell. This man has a peculiar and
most vicious murderous monomania,
which can only be curbed by his confine-
ment where he cannot reach another
human being weaker than himself"

SEATTLE, WASH, May 9.-The authori-

been spending the last two weeks at
Milford, Pa, was out cunning yester-
day, in company with Ernest Rigny, a
we'll known guide and hunter. On ac-
count of the thick foliage and under

they succeeded in killing only two
partridges. About noon Rigny pro-
posed that they visit snake den near
Log Tavern Pond, four miles back OF
Milford.
They made their way through the
woods to the den, where numerous rat
tiers lay coiled on the rocky ledges
taking u sun bath. The snakes We're

yellow varieties, and black snakes
were keeping company with the rat
tiers.
The first intimation Mr.. Rgny had
of the presence of the black snakes
was when he ran against huge fell

which angrily thrust its head and forked
tongue toward his face. Jumping sud-
denly back he drew his gun to his
shoulder and blew it's head of. 1t
