Chicago, July 4.--The Colts made many
errors in the morning game, but the hits
they registered on Fraser were long and
hard. Clark's triple to the rear bleach
ers in the seventh brought in three of
I.ouisyiile's five runs No umpire showed
up at the grounds and Terry officiated,
doing very well. Holmes reappeared with
Louisville, playing his first game since he
was injured in the spring. Attendance

The afternoon game was practically
settled in the first inning, when the Colts
pounded Cunningham so savagely that
all the life was taken out of the visitors.

NIELSEN CRIES FRAUD,
Claims His Wife's Divorce Suit
Is the Outcome of a
Conspiracy.

William M. Nielsen was yesterday be-
fore Judge Daingerfeld on an order 10
show cause why he should not pay his
wife alimony pending trial of her suit for
divorce.
After reciting that he earns but $12 per
week Nielsen filed an affidavit claiming
that his wife is possessed of a separate es-
tate worth over $4,000, and that she is in
no need of maintenance.
For a separate answer to his wife's
charges of cruelty and habituaI intemper-
ance the defendant says that Mrs. Nielsen
is in the habit of consuming large guam
titles of choral hydrate, "a most stupefy
ing and misunderstanding drug" and of
indulging to excess in "corner-grocery
wine.' He claims that the wrongs she al
leges are hallucinatlons caused by the use
of the stimulants, and that Clara A. Nc
Farland, his wife's sister, furnishes the
drugs to- the plaintiff. The whole pro-
ceeding, he says. is the result OF con-
spiracy formed between Mrs. Mcfarland
and his wife's attorney, though what is
the object of the com bination he neglecls
to state.
The matter was continued until Friday
next for further hearing.

REIGN OF AN OUTLAW BAND.

SAN ANTONIO, N. M, Oct. 23.-Keeper
Rice of Mountain Station, on the stage
road to White Oaks, arrived on horseback
tonight with the news that the men who
held up the stagecoach in the Oscure
Mountains a few weeks ago are still in the
hills and that they have in all PROBABILITY
held up two coaches within the past few
days, as the Wednesday and Thursday
stages are not yet in. Red Canyon is in
tested with armed men, who are lying in
wait for the San Antonio mail.
Rice came out on the road to warn the
driver and to seek assistance.
When the stages did not put in an ap-
pearance yesterday he sent man out to
look for them. The messenger while en-
tering the dreary canyon was confronted
by two masked men. armed to the teeth.
and turning his horse fed for his life.
The men were in wait for the coach from
this point, undoubtedly.
These men compose part of the band
of robbers which held up the Atlantic and
Pacific express a few weeks ago, when
their leader was shot. Posses have been
securing the mountains for them. An
other will start from here in the morning.

Many Converts Made at a Meeting
A dressed by D. Lemos of
Haywards.

MONTEREY, CAL, Oct. 23.-The great
est political rally in the history of Monte.
rey was that in the opera-house tonight
under the auspices of the Mckinley and
Hobart Club. The speaking was in the
Portuguese language. From the enthusi-
asm manifested it is safe to say that his
toric old Monterey will give large ma
jorlty for sound money and protection.
Jacob r. Leese presided and introduced
A Nj. Martin of Watsonville, who spoke
to the Portuguese voters in regard to the
duty they owed their chosen country to
support the nominees of the Republican
party. The speaker of the evening was
Hon. Francisco Ignacio de Lemos OF Hay
wards, who held his audience for an hour
and half, explaining the principles as
laid down in the Republican platform.
The speaker has an eloquent delivery,
com AHMED with humor, and the audience
regretted when he had finished his dis
course. In regard to the money question
he reminded his hearers that Portugal was
working under gold standard.
The monetary unit there was the milreis,
its value in United States coin being 81 08.
The ratio OF gold 10 silver was one to 14.08
of limited tender silver. As a large pro-
portion of the Portuguese in the Eastern
States were factory employees it was for
their benefit, he said, to vote for the party
which would not only cause the factory to
be reopened, but would erect others. The
speaker explained the fallacy of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver idea and
showed his audience that as contracts
heretofore made payable in gold were to
be paid in that specie and as Congress
could not pass retroactive laws, old
would flow out Of the country and c, lid
not be secured without prem ium.
The meeting adjourned with roLsing
cheers for Mckinley and Hobart. Many
in the audience had been made converts
to the grand old party's principles.

Grand Master f. P. Sargent of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen of
the United States, whose home is in
Peoria, ILL.,, arrived here last night. Mr..
Sargent left Illinois a week ago and came
to the coast by way of New Mexico and
Arizona.
He has come, he says. for the purpose of
conferring with representatives of the
brotherhood on the Paci fc coast on mat
ters of interest to the organization. This
visit, however. he says is not of politi-
cal nature, as his position would preclude
any thing OF that kind.
II may say, however" he said, "that
am personally in favor of the election of
Mr.. Mckinley. and think there is no ques-
tion but the majority OF the railway men
are throughout the country. They believe
that with Mr.. Mckinley as President con-
fidence would be restored and the coun-
try would soon be put on good Du siness
basis.
Everywhere have gone thus far I have
noticed intense interest in the election.
In Illinois the interest on both sides is

the estimates I heard there were 40, 900 to
$4,000 as majority for Mckinley.

And they want facts. They will not listen

have no doubt that many men who would
ordinarily vote for free silver cannot do so
because of the planks looking toward

have heard many men say so. They feel
that they cannot trust men like Tillman

port OF Mr.. Bryan. They fear what might

night to hear Ex-Governor b. II. Mark
ham and Hon. TREY L. Ford. The gen
tlemen were met at ColfaI by Hon. ]. d.
Neff with a special conveyance. Soon
they entered on a nine-mile drive over
rough mountain road to Iowa Hill, fol-
lowed by large crowd in which were
manv women. All available teams were
pressed into service, and many persons
who could not secure seats in the wagons
walked.
After the arrival of the speakers at Iowa
Hill torchlight procession, in which the
Collar and Forest Hill Mckinley clubs
participated, paraded the streets to the
tune of anvils and giant powder. Mr..
Markham made an eloquent address In
support of Mckinley, sound money ana
protection and as he proceeded the more
enthusiastic grew the crowd.
The presentation of Ford, the miners

and eloquent. ''Ford's all right-he

LOS ANGELES, CAL. Oct. o. Colonel
Albert de Leur of Wisconsin delivered an
able speech at Hazards Pavilion this
evening 10 large audience. Colonel de
Leur said that he had noted with special
interest recent cablegram wired to q
Democratic newspaper urging the i'm
portance of Bryan election on the ground
that it would greatly benefit the European
farmer.
Why" inquired the speaker, "were not
such words used in r, lation to Major Nc
Kinley's election? Because those Counts
VINO framed that cablegram knew that it
is the business of the Republican candi-
date and those who stand with him in this
campaign to look after the interests of the
American farmer-not the European"
Congressman McLachlan spoke in the
Republican portable tent on Central ave-
nue. this evening. He had lately returned
from tour of the Sixth Congressional
District, wherein he made speeches in
Santa Cruz, Monterey, San Louis Obispo,
Santa Barbara and Ventura counties, and
he brings the best possible news in respect
to the campaign in these counties. The
speaker said that the disaffection from
the Democratic party was something amaz-
ing ell through his district. Moreover, he
observed that, within the past few days,
sple ndid mum Der of old-line Democrats had
come out for Mckinley and sound money.

ONTARIO, CAL, Oct. 23.-The most
enthusiastic rally of the campaign was
held here last night, the occasion being
the appearance of W. s. Barnes of San
Francisco. The Mckinley marching club
engaged in a torchlight parade ard fancy
drill, which was witnessed by q large
crowd of people. The hall was packed to
the doors when Mr.. Barnes began his
address. He said:
"Did the Republican party decide to
open the gates of Castle Garden to the
pauper la Dor of foreign countries, or the
mints of this Nation to all the silver of the
world; did it declare that the salvation of
the people depended upon the free coinage
OF silver; did it arrange class against class,
section against section and business
against business, then we would all say
Let the Republican party die But if
the Republican party stands for no North,
no South, no East, no West, hut only for
the protection of all the people, carrying
in the forefront the banner of a reunited
country, whose clinging folds wrap half
the world, over the best fed, the best
clothed people on earth. then we should
say: Long life to the Republican party,
and we shall be Republicans.
at the conclusion of Mr.. Barnes re-
marks two beautiful silk banners were
presented to the Mckinley Marching Club
by the Republican ladies of Ontario.

REDDING, CAL, Oct. 23.-The begin
ming of the end in the affairs of William
Jackson. Shasta County's defaulting
Treasurer. was witnessed this evening and
tonight the embezzling Treasurer occu-
pies cell in the county prison.
When Jackson's shortage was exposed
by his concocted story to the effect that a
robbery of the treasury nad besn at
tempted and that he was quite seriously
hurt in the encounter with the robbers
his bondsmen began an investigation and,
at casual inspection of the books and ac-
counts placed the deficiency at $27, 600.
This afternoon the report of the expert
hired to examine the books brought Jack
sons shortage up to such an alarming
figure that his bondsmen became uneasy.
As the books and report now stand
Jackson is an embezzIer TO the extent of
$40, 900 and it is believed that amount will
reach $50, 900 and perhaps $780, 900 by the
end OF the week, when the experts report
will have been completed. The en- bezzling
had been going on for ten years past and
Jackson had been enjoying the confidence
of the people and at the same time spend
ing their money. Beginning with the
81, 900 shortage of a month ago, each day
the expert has found some new amount
missing.
Tonight County Clerk Drynan swore to
a complaint for the arrest of Jackson.
The paper was placed in the hands of an
officer and twenty minutes thereafter
Jackson was lodged in the County Jail.
Anticipating such move and believing
he would have a chance to get off on bail
the defaulting Treasurer had previously
arranged with couple of local capitalists
to go Is bail to the extent of $4,000, he
considering that amount would be as
much as the magistrate would ask, but
to- night, when he appeared before Judge
Gardner, the bail was fixed at $40. 600.
The prisoners face wore a downcast look,
and all hopes of freedom were lost to him.
Not being able to get that amount of
security he was compelled to go to Jail,
where he will remain until his case is
disposed of.

The Bindt Brothers Leave tho Pest
house to Escape the City and
County Hospital.
The health authorities are much exer-
cised over the sudden and unauthorized
departure from the Pesthouse of Frank
and Ernest Bindt, two of the lepers who
have been confined at the public hospital.
Ever since the order recently made by
the Board of Health condemning the
Pesthouse came to the ears of the inmates
there has been dissatisfaction, the lepers
preferring to put up with the poor accom-
modations of their present residence
rather than to be exposed to the public
gaze at the City and County Hospital. No
serious trouble was anticipated, however,
until Thursday evening, when the Bindt
brothers were missed.
At 10 O'clock, on entering their room,
Superintendent Heating saw that they
were not on hand. and the finding of
note in the apartment confirmed his sus-
picion that they had escaped. The mis-
sive left stated that they did not propose
to be removed to the City and County
Hospital and that they had rather face
the chances of making a living outside
than be removed. As both are so little
marked by the dread disease as to DEFY
detection by any except experts 1t is not
thought likely that they will be found.
The police have been notified OF the escape
and asked to be on the lookout for the

SANTA CRUZ. CAL, Oct. %. = The
Democratic County Committee planned
well for to-night's Democratic rally.
Hon. james G. Mcguire spoke in the
pavilion to $500 persons. He was intro
duced by Leutenant-Governor Jeter, and
went straight into the discussion of the
refunding bill. He said this bill would
cost the Government $240 600 900 to repay
the stealings of the Pacific railroads.
When he mentioned Congressman John
sons name, Kisses were heard. These
monopolies. he said, should be subor-
dinated to the law, and meet their obliga-
tions as private citizens. The course of
the Southern Pacific Railroad was one of
crime and the refunding bill was bill
seeking by legalized means to compound
a felony.
Mcguire favored bill limiting the
powers of the Federal courts. He de-
nounced Government by injunction.
Passing to the tariff question, he DIS
missed it with the remark that it is not
worthy of argument in this campaign.
The free and unlimited coinage of silver
was the point, he said. Silver was the
poor mans money and gold represented
Mckinley, Wall street and Mark Hanna.
The main point of Congressman Mcguire s
speech was euIogy of William j. Bryan.
