VENGEFUL MEN OF USAL.
Threats of a Lyme ing Should

Taken.
Officers Are Close Ufon Their Trail
and News of a Battle Is
Expected.

CAHTO, CAL, Nov. ALI secrecy as to
the identity of the accused murdere-s oil
John Fl. Mudeett, the Usai rancher killed
last Monday, was waived to-day and the
excitement is intense. Angry mutterIngs
are heard because of the tardy arrival oi
the Sheriff's officers, who had been re-
peatedly notified that ample evidence was
secured to warrant arrests being made sew.
eral days ago.
The names of the suspected men are
John Dodge, one Ferguson, Rube Noble
| and Charles Smith. All are mounted on
fast horses and heavily armed, and are
made desperate py the unexpected suspi-
cions directed upon them. Citizen
clevefly detained them for three days, al
laying any suspicion by showing indiffer-
ence as to whom the perpetrators OF the
crime might be.
This was done 10 gain time that the
Sheriff's party might arrive upon the
scene and arrest them quietly. The Cor
onsr's iury's verdict was made favorable
to the suspected men in order not to ex.
cite their alarm. The verdict was:
Deceased came TO his death by foul
means by a party or parties unknown,
tc''
The four became suspicious and de-
camped, leading the Sheriff's posse by an
hour, and five officers are now closely
upon them at their hiding place in Island
| Mountain, thirty miles from here. Two
OF the fugitlves. n Noble and Dodge, are half
| breed Indians. and are known to be dam
gerous men and experts with a rife, and
| should the officers come upon them a
stubborn fight will follow.
| Friends OF Mudeett give expression to
| threats of speedy justice in the event of a
capture, should the officers bring the men
| back this way. Mudg tt had no known
enemies in the neighborhood and was
always regarded with favor, and his i'm.
mediate friends make no secret OF their in
ention to revenge his assassination.
Under Sheriff Handy of Ukiah has
charge Of the posse and is referred to as
an officer OF more than ordinary bravery,
| who will stake his life to take his man.
The disagreeaol BILE mountainous trip
from here, over poor trails, makes it diff
cult to gel news from the scene with any,
! thing like certainty. To-morrow's devel-
opments are looked forward to with more
than ordinary interest. and excitement is
at high tension. Cou-iers from the scene
are expected at any moment

little over a year, including 40 generals and
5000 other officers. with more than G0OO0,000
