The Bandit Shot identified as the San
Juan Robber.
The Young Son of Chico Citizen
Accidentally Killed by the Falling
of a Tree Under Which he HAD
Taken Refuge During lnunder-
storm-Suicide of a Prominent
Napa Pioneer.

NEVADA CITY, July 2S.-The vari-
pus posses engaged in the search for the
outlaw who killed Sheriff Douglass on
Sunday last have returned without find
ing any trace of the fugitive. Hun
dreds of men secured the hills in the VI
cinity of where Sheriff Douglass lost his
life on Sunday without avail.
The assassin, the accomplice of the
dead robber. had fully fifteen hours
start of the posse and made good his
escape. The only description thus far
given Of him is furnished by John
Blamey. who met the dead robber and
his supposed accomplice near Gold Fiat
last Thursday or Friday. Blamey says
he is a stout, heaWy-set man, feet lO
inches in hight, with a full, round face,
dark hair and brown mustache. He
wore a dark check coat, and probably
weighs 40 pounds.
The dead robber, who has been idenfl-
fed as an adopted son of Theodore
Winters, the noted horseman, was
buried to-day Before the remains were
inferred Detective Gibson and Charles
Slady of San Francisco and a number
of other persons identified the body as
that of the outlaw who operated on
the San Juan road. A man named
Johnson, who led the posse on a Wld
goose chase with a fake story, has been
arrested, and will be held on suspicion.
The inquest on the dead robber was
held last night. The only new testimony
was given by Mr.. Dean, who lives IUO
yards from where the shooting occurred
He says at about O'Clock ON Sunday he
heard two pistol shots fired simultane-
ously. After the lapse of half minute
he heard another shot, much louder and
more distinct, as if from a rifle. I'm
doubtedly the first two shots were fired
by the Sheriff with deadly effect at the
robber and the third shot heard by Dean
was fired by the robbers accomplice.
Two shots struck the Sheriff, but Dean
says he paid little attention to the
shooting, as hunters are continually in
the neighborhood, and there might have
been more shots fired.
This testimony strengthens the theory
very materially that Douglass was shot
by a third party. The bullets went clear
through each Of the dead men and the
wounds are such as to make 1T impossi
ble to determine whether one was killed
by pistol and the other by a rifle or
not.

JUDGMENT FOR THE BEATRICE
Decision That the Sealing Schooner
Was Illegally Seized.

VICTORIA CB. c., July 2S.-Chief
Justice Davie to-day gave judgment in
favor of the owner of the sealing
schooner Beatrice for So, 1853 80, dam
ages for illegal seizure by the United
States revenue cutter Richard Rush.
The Beatrice was seized by the Rush
August 10th last in Behring Sea, and
returned to this port for confiscation.
The evidence showed that the Captain
OF the schooner was we'll within his
rights, and had a sound claim for dam
ages.
Several other owners of sealing
schooners similarly seized will now
take action, and Great Britain will in
sist that the United States, by whose
vessels the irregular seizures were
made, must ultimately foot the bills.
