Trace the Fugitives to a Creek
and There the Scent Is
Lost.
MANY POSSES IN THE HILLS.
Officers Believe Starvation Will Soon
Drive the Escapes From Their
Retreat.

MADEIRA, CAL, May 1.-THE pursuit
! OF the fugative outlaws, Laverone and
Roberts, who escaped from the Jail ct this
place after desperate struggle with Jailer
Wells last Thursday, is growing exciting.
The Indians of Picayune Rancheria have
joined in the chase. 1t is the first time
they ever volunteered their services to
capture white criminal; but they want
revenge for the killing of the old squaw
Marie, about eigh. months ago, by a
white man who covered his tracks so we'll
that they were unable to capture him.
Sheriff Westfall is working near Fine
Gold; George Wells, a son of the jailer,
and James Hamilton are at the head of
the posse at North FORK; Samuel Prewett
has a posse under him at Table Mountain,
and the constable at Pollasky has had
guards stationed at the bridge on the San
Joaquin ever since the day of the jail
break. Unless the bandits have secured
help from an unknown source, they will
have to show themselves to get provisions.
The only person who returned with any
news from the hills to-day was JaiIor
Wells. He started yesterday afternoon to
join the chase, but he had not gone far
before the wounds in his hand and arm,
received in the struggle with the outlaws
on the night of the jail-break, caused the
member to swell to such size that it be-
came necessary for him to return.
The outlaws are surrounded in the foot
hills or else they have completely duped
the officers and have escaped into Auberry
Valley or crossed over the mountain range
in the snow into Mono or Inyo county.
Yesterday, when Deputy Sheriff Jones re-
turned to the hills with the bloodhounds,
he succeeded in putting the dogs on the
trail which had been identified by Lily
Larsen, and the hounds started baying
They set such a rapid pace that the off,
GERS, who were well mounted, could not
keep up to them, as the dense growth oil
underbrush made it impossible to get
through the gulches at very rapid pace
They soon lost sight of the dogs, which
started in southerly direction and circled
around the southern end of the Table
Mountain and then led off toward the San
Joaquin.
Some of the other men who were on the
! lookout saw them, and, knowing thai
they were trailing, followed them unit
the dogs led them into deserted sheer
camp. Here the animals lost the trail
as there were numberless tracks of tn,
herders. There was stream short dis
tance from the camp, and it is the theory
of the officers that Laverone and Roberts
learning that the dogs were in pursuit o
them, walked in the water for some dis
tsnce to throw the dogs off the scent. Th,
officers took the dogs and patrolled bott
sides of the stream, both above and below
the crossing, but the hounds were unable
to pick up the trail.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, May 11.-Wll-

patent which is destined to mark a great
stride forward in the electric lighting of
city streets. He has devised an ingenious
contrivance to be attached to mast lights
at the intersection of streets. and which
shuts the light off from surrounding lots,
where it is not desired, and sends four
powerful beams, in the nature OF search
lights, down the streets.
This Invention was successfully tried in
the city before an application for patent
was sent TO Washington, and it was satisr

REDDING, CAL, May Ill. NJ. Welsh,
liyeryman of this city, met with an dcci-
dent near the Iron Mountain mine last
evening that may cost him his life.
Welsh left this city at noon yesterday
with mining man, bound for Iron Noun
tain. The two, in a buggy drawn by two
fiery horses, arrived at the copper mine of
the Mountain Mines Company at go
o'clock. Welsh volunteered his services as
guide for his companion through the mine.
The works had been tenn porarily closed,
and he was advised by the mine authorl-
ties not to venture underground. Not
needing the entreaties of the miners he
started on a tour of the subterranean
caverns.
That was the last seen of the two by en-
ployes of the mine. Two hours thereafter
their buggy. without team or driver, was
discovered about three miles below camp
A diligent search resulted in the finding
OF Welsh in a chasm below the road which
was built on high grade, bleeding and
suffering from severe injuries and gashes
on his head and body.
His horses had become manageable
and ran away. In their course down the
grade they ran against a tree and threw
the driver to the gulch below. He was
carried to a cabin, where he now lies in
the care of his wife.
