that the National Sporting club has offered a purse for fight between Corhett and Fitzsimmons.
 The following communication from the secretary of the club speaks for it. self:
 ''To the Associated Press With ref erence to Corbett and Fytzsimmons beg to state I never offered a purse nor authorized any person to do so, for a contest between the above named box CTS. If the time should come when the men are matched and uncondi- tional apologies are rendered this club shall be prepared to make an offer but not until then. All other state ments contrary to this are absolutely false.

On the Southern Pacific
 Near Goshen.
One Robbber Weakened and
 Told the Plans.
The Officers Were on fiand ar Kill One of the Gang In Gen-
 eral Fight.

FRESNO, March 19.-An attempt was made last night to hold up the north bound train on the Southern Pa cifc between Goshen and Tulare. There were three robbers. Two boarded the train at Selma and the other waited with a team at Tafus. One of the robbers weakened and told the operator at Goshen of the plans The sheriff's office was notified and officers boarded the engine at the next station, and when the robber ap- peared on the tender, opened fire. The rob'ber is supposed to be Dan McCole of the Dalton gang, and was killed. | Under Sheriff Earl Nugget was shot and seriously wounded, and Constable Reed received a bullet in the shoulder. For several days Sheriff Merritt has known that a train robbery was con- templated. Yesterday he received in formation that train No. 20 going north, would be held up between Tu- i lare and Goshen and sent a dispatch | to Vic Reed and Earl Daggett of 1 Goshen and took two others with him to Tu1are. He had wired O. J. Mead, special officer oi the railroad com pany, who came south on No. 20 and ! joined the officers at TuiaTe. The of fcers left town quietly one at a time, 1 but evidently watched, as the gang at Goshen got word that the officers had left town. Daggett got on the engine of train No. 19 and crouched down in the coal, watching for signs of the robbers at each side Of the track About a mile out of Goshen man climbed over the rear of the tender and covered the engineer with a re- | volver and ordered hands up. As the officers turned he saw them and op ened fire with his revolver. He shot both officers and they returned the 1 fire Daggett's shot took effect, kill Ing the robber instantly.
 It appears that when he found that the officers were preparing rso defend No. 20 he resolved to hold up the oth- CT train, not knowing the officers were on it. His confederates deserted him as he boarded the train at Goshen. His confederate is named Obi Britt, or Br.lttan Mcbride
 The officers this morning arrested
 Dovern, the keeper Of ., notorious
 deadfall, and Charles Ardell, a bar keeper, and placed them in jail John Haynes, of the Salvation Army, was also arrested at his ranaa eight miles north of here.

least 300 Indians in the crowd when the witch was captured. There was a great rush to get a glimpse at the hor- rid thing and my own curiosity was equal to that of the Indians, but to my surprise and astonishment the sup posed witch who had been hunted with much noise, wild and barbaric inter est for five successive days, was noth- ing more than piece of sahuara rib, about ten inches long and to which had been tied piece of red flannel to represent a human head. From the cented dangled strip of black rag, while the arms were represented by a couple of sahuara spines stuck in eith- CT side of the stick. Her capture caused much rejoicing in the village. Then followed peculiar ceremony which I omit here, and later the witch was securely bound in bundle of grama hay, carried to the top of the Sacaton mountain and placed in a cave. The mouth of this cave was closed by stones and a large quantity of cholla was scattered around.
 The witch is still there, for every year since her imprisonment the wiley Papago has successively played on the credulity of his brother Pimas The three winter months are frequently seasons of privation among the i'm provident Papagoes living off the res ervation and demands for food are in variably made on their more fortunate kinsmen on the Gila. In case of re- fusal threats to provoke and release the witch set her on fire and burn ul the whole world never fails to open the grainery door, I have talked with many Indians and have yet to see one who does not believe in her terrible power.
 Thus tn brief is the witchcraft of the Indians. They see good and evil omens in the most trivial events oi their lives Thus a bird flying across their path, or miniature whirlwind- 50 common to the deserts of southern Ar:zona-preceding or following then will strike terror to their hearts. have known strong men cf unQues- tioned bravery leave a traVale1 roaf | at the sight of a rag dangling from ar overhanging bush.

 HEEGYPT[AN CAMPAIGN BerthelOt Demonstrated Agianst It. The French Government Is Aprehens sive. France Is Not Hostile But Looks for Removal of the Mis-
 understanding.

PARIS, March 19.-The French gov ernment's evidence tonight that the announcement by Berthelots yesterday to the remonstrance he had offered against the Egyptian campaign up the Nile, in con- versation with the Marquis of Duff ferin, has been taken much more seri- ously than they were prepared for. The outbreak of approval from the French press and people and the pop ular clamor for even more decisive measures of protest seem to have alarmed the government and awak- ened an apprehension that they are being precipitated into a position of hostility through the plan of Great Britain lacked but the approval of the dreibund, which might entail the gray est consequences.
 The following explanation with its distinct tones of depreciation is made semi-officially tonight.
 Yesterdays note was merely short and rapidly drafted the summary of objections which France found it nec- essary to formulate in view of the un- expected and sudden decision of Great Britain. France also intended une- quivocally to intimate that she did not intend to ignore the matter, but this is in no wise implied as a hostile atti- tude. On the contrary, they think in view of the mutual friendly relations, frank and outspoken language will contribute ito the removal of misun- derstandings."
 Minister of Foreign Affairs M Berthelot in the chamber of deputies today commented unfavorably upon the proposed British expedition to Dongola and intimated that France was not inclined ito consent to the use of the Egyptian surplus to defray the expenses of the expedition.

COUNTERFEITERS CAPTURED
Leader of Gang and His Wife Cap
 tured Yesterday at St. Joseph.


 ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, March 19.-Unit- ed States Deputy MarshaIs Miller and Smith today captured w. L. Pease, the leader of a gang of dangerous coun- terfeiters, as he was calling for a box at the Burlington freight office, |, to which it had been shipped from Om- aha ito William Herb" The box, when opened, was found to contain a kettle, scales, moulds and ladies for the manufacture of coin, and a half bushel of dollars and halves. They are the best counterfeiters ever seen here, and would easily deceive the av- craze business man.
 Pease has for his pals W. L. Herb and another man whose identity is unknown, both of whom escaped from the rear door of a private boarding house as the officers entered the front. Pease's wife was arrested at Fifteenth stret and Frederick avenue, where she had concealed some of the counterfeit money. Sh made a confession, saying the men had made the money in Oma- ha, where much of the spurious stuff had been circulated.
 Pease says he is a nephew of John c. Clay of PlaI.tsburg, and Tom Cor don of Liberty, both wealthy bankers. He is 32 years of age and of fine ap- pearance. He was raised at Liberty. Mrs. Pease says her home is in Chi cago, and claims much of the counter felt money has been passed there by the gang.
