BAD MEN IN OREION.
! Portland. Ore, Feb. 1.-Sheriff Cath
cart of Douglas, who has been in the
mountains ever since Friday morning
with three well-organiZed posse eXplor-
ing the trails of the robbers who heid
nm the Southern Pacific train Thursday
night, sent a messenger with instruc-
! tons to secure a number or Valuaple
clues. together with several garments
that lead him 10 think he is on the riShl
.rail. The wilds of an African jungle
could not be worse N which to pursue
man hunt than the wild region in which
the robbers are hiding. The country Is
sparsely inhabited, and the few ranchers
are not only coWed into submission by
the men suspected of committing this
robbery. but are forced to afford them
every possible protection in order to save
their property as well as their lives. All
the officers concede that this gang or
robbers is made up of the most desperate
men that ever handled revolvers, and
with that knowledge firmly fixed in
their minds the officers are taking no
chances, so that if the robbers roost is
reached bloody battle may be looked
for in which no quarter will be given on
either side. The officers all have in
structions TO shoot TO kill ION sight"
and as every man has been chosen for
his known nerve the fight must neces-
sarily be interesting.
THEN HE SHOT HIMSELF.
VII 81. S1rlIix
years old, was fatally shot at her home
on Irving avenue, by Frank J. Laure.
The murder was the result of a lovers
quarrel.

WOLFE SETTLES IT.
San Francisco, Feb. 1.-The dead body |
of Francis Wolfe, who was suspected of |
the murder of his mistress, Mrs Sprinz- |
nick, Saturday night, has been found in |
a room.on Howard street. He had shot |
himself. 1t is supposed that Wolfe, af-
ter shooting the woman. fled from the |
scene, but despairing of escape. killed |
himself. Mrs. Sprinznick, a washerwo-
man, was shot while at work in her |
squalid quarters. She had recently de-
serted her husband and conSorted with |
Wolfe, supporting him with her small |
earnings.
HE KILLED THREE.
Akron, O., Feb. 1.-Romulus Coteel,
who killed Alvin Stone and wife and Ira
Stillson at Talmadge last March, was al
lowed to plead guilty to murder in the
second degree today. Judge Kohler al
once sentenced him 10 life imprisonment
at hard labor. Cotell was found guilty
in the first degree and was sentenced to
hang November 6.
POLICE ARE SKEPTICAL.
Chicago. Feb. wv. S. Werth, assist
ant cashier in the Wabash freight de-
pot, and J. II. Mitchell, clerk in the
same office, are in the hospital as the
result of injuries received last night
They claim TO have been set upon by
Two men who after beating them into
insensbility shot at them. Two OF the
bullets took effect in Werth and one in
Mitchell. Both will, however, recover.
The police scout the idea that robbery
or revenge were the causes. They think
the men became involved in an alterca-
ton with their assailants while in
mousse or saloon in the neighborhood and
hnishel the fight in the street.
