IDAHO roPULIsT SPLIT.


A commotion has bean caused in
political circles BY the action Of the
Boise Sentinel, tho official organ Of
the Peoples party of the state,
which announced in its issue of the
18th inst. that henceforth it would
fly the banner Of fat money instead
Of free silver 1t 16 to /. the attain
ment Of the latter being considered
too remote to have the desired effect
in muzsling the monopolies. 1t
also declares for tho middle-of-the-
road policy, denouncing the Demo
Gratis % inatigators Of : scheme to
swallow up the Populist party.
The Statesman says: This ac-
ton will doubtless estrange the
Democratic wing Of the fusion par
ty, which will likely make m effort
to fuse with the silver Republicans,
whom the Sentinel denounces as
disloyal to the cause they espoused
and focking back to the ranks Of
the goldbug party"
Senator Heitfeld has secured q
controlling interest in the Sentinel,
and the fret issue under the new
regime came out on the 18th bear
ing the name Of 4. C. Fuller, SEN
ator Heilfeld's private secretary, as
manager.
A late dispatch from Boise says !:
.sThe commotion in the Populist
camp over the fiat money and mid
dle.of-the-road pronunciamento Of
the Boise Sentinel, the leading organ
Of that party, continues undated
Great influence is brought to bear
to secure a modification of the Sen
tinel's policy. Congressman James
Gum, formerly editor of the Senti-
mel. is known to oppose the policy
outlined by the Sentinel, and it is
said he has expressed himself on
the subject in no uncertain terms
Some say the Sentinel's middIe-of-
the-road declaration is merely y
bluff at the Democrats. with whom
the Popu!ists, they maintain, will
continue to coaleece if the nomina
ton for governor is given to the
Populists next year.

There was 81 600 in currency in

between Meadows and Warren. The

md no express line, consequently

there was only one. He wore :

Los ANGELES, Sept. 1.-THE day
light burglars, who, during several
weeks past, robbed many residences in
the southwestern portion of the city,
have been captured, and most of the
plundeT. valued at about 81, 500. has
been recovered. The names of two of
the criminals are c. NJ. Scott and James
Clifton, and to Detectives Bradish and
Steel belongs the credit of their cap
ture and the recovery of the stolen
property, which consisted of jewelry,
silverWare, silk garments and clothing
of all sorts, musical instruments, etc.
The customary method of the burg
lars TO procure information as to the
occupants of the houses and the char
acter Of the dwellings to be robbed was
to visit them with a request for old
clothes. This enabled the detectives
to get a good description of the men
wanted and on Thursday afternoon
Scott and Clifton were arrested on Sec
ond street, the stolen property being
recovered in the lodgings.

RIGID QUARANTINE.
STRICT MEASURES AGAINST
YELLOW FEVER.
Two New Patients at Biloxi, but No
Deaths-Improvem in All
Gases at New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, Sept. IL The prin-
cipal matter of interest here this morn
ing is that the towns of every trunk line
running into New Orleans have de-
clared quarantine against Louisiana.
Burgs in Mississippi, Louisiana,
Texas and Alabama have declared that
no people shall get off trains at their
stations who come from this city. Some
of the cities have adopted the most ex-
treme measures, and have surrounded
themselves with shotgun squads
Most of the towns that have declared
strict quarantine are suffering as much,
or a great deal more than New Or
leans Itself for they are deprived of
their newspapers, are unable to re-
plenish needed supplies and are being
put to great inconvenience.
Reports received at the Board of
Health since last night indicate a
steady improvement in the cases of
twelve people down with the fever in
one square on ST. Claude street.
Many of those who had contemplated
sending their families North and East
yesterday have changed their minds.
dispatch from Biloxi says two new
cases have developed. There have been
no deaths All patients are doing well.
DR.. Harrington is in receipt of a dis
patch from DR.. Fell of Pascagoula say
ing a case of yellow fever has develop
ed in that town A meeting Of the
Mayor and Aldermen of Biloxi has
been called for the purpose of assisting
DR.. Harolson of the State Board. Six
new cases are reported at Ocean
Springs, but no deaths.
WASHINGTON, Sept. ia tele-
gram was received to-day from Sur
geon Murray, who is in charge of the
Marine Hospital service in the yellow

lished a detention camp at Fontain-
bleau formerly Bellefontaine.
DIR. Murray adds: Il earnestly rec
ommend that immunes. proprely certi-

HUNT FOR TRAIN ROBBERS.
Officers Believed to be on a Warm
Scent of the Thieves.

STOCKTON, Sept. 1.-THE hunt for
the train robbers continues, though the
center of operations has been transfer
red from Stockton to the upper END of
Union Island. not far from Paradise
Cut, the first opening on the other side
of the San Joaquin River. Dixie Grow,
whc knows both of the boys well, de-
clares that he say them in that region
yesterday, and it is positive that that
is the portion of the country in which
Sheriff Cunningham and the railroad
detectives are hunting for them.
The Sheriff and John n. Thackcr
crossed the San Joaquin last night be-
fore midnight at the county bridge, and
drove off in the direction of Paradise
Cut. That the two boys should strike
for that portion of the country is GER
tain, for Williams was raised there, and
knows every foot of the ground, his fa-
ther having been in charge of the Wier
dam at Paradise Cut for wears.
Crow claims to have seen the young
men in a light spring wagon, and that
they told him they had been hunting
doves there. He did not then know of
the robbery, or the fact that the boys
were suspected, and did not learn of it
until he reached Stockton.
Deputy Sheriff Wall returned this
evening from a hunt of two DAYS, He
said that he had found nothing. Sher-
iff Cunningham has not reported back
to the office since yesterday afternoon,
and as he is in that portion of the
country in which the boys are reported
to have taken refuge, and where Crow
says he saw them, the belief is strong
that the veteran officer and his assist
ants have a warm scent on the thieves,
and expect to land them soon.

VALUABLE LANDS.
Title Attacked in the Probate
Court OF Alameda County.

OAKLAND, Sept. 1.-THE title to
100 acres of land in the city of Liver
more has been attacked in the Ala
media County Probate Court
Behind an innocent appearing peti-
ton that was filed to-day is a story
which means a great deal to hundreds
of property owners in the largest inte-
rior community of Alameda County.
The property affected lies in the east
e1n portion of the town, and most of
it is north of the Southern Pacific
Railroad tracks. Within its bounda-
ries is located the Catholic Church
holdings.
The main story runs back to the
time when Alfonso S. Ladd, a pioneer
of Livermore Valley, filed a pre-emp-
tion claim on some wild lands. Fifteen
years later. he having died, the United
States patent was issued to his heirs.
His estate was properly closed, and a
one eighth interest in it was given to
Joseph Ladd. his son. This boy died in
1878, at the age of 10 years, and his es-
tate was never probated. Before the
title can be cleared that estate must be
probated although the boy died twenty
years ago.
