Budd and Price Placed Upon
His Head.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, March 13.-Indian Dick,
who was declared an outlaw by Gov
ernor Budd, and for whose arrest re-
ward Of $500 was offered by the Gov

Squaw Valley, after he had been shot
in the side. Constable T. w. Street Of
Reedley captured the outlaw and
brought him to the jail at 2 o'clock this
afternoon, after drive of five hours.
Last Wednesday the Indian, whose
true name is Richard Hutchison, went
TO G. w. Kings ranch and asked for
food. King gave him meals. Dick
was suffering from a wound inflicted by
a negro the day previous. King lives
eighteen miles from the nearest tele-
phone, but yesterday he went to the
head gate of irrigation ditch No. rs and
teIephoned to Constable Street. The
officer arrived at Kings place this
morning, armed with Winchester rifle,
and King, according to an understand
ing with the officer, carried breakfast
to the outlaw. who remained in the
brush.
Street stole up to within fifty yards,
when the Indian saw him and started
to run. The officer called to him to
stop, but Hutchinson paid no heed. Inc
constable fired. and the outlaw fell and
rolled and tumbled on the ground.
When Quieted he asked the name OF
the man who shot him, and requested
that his mother be informed. He was
then carried a distance of 200 yards to
the house. and was brought in wagon

on the journey. The bullet had entered
his right side and came out through the
abdomen, the wound being almost iden-
teal to the one inflicted by the negro
last Tuesday.

this and adjoining counties on account
of his crimes. He broke Jail here sew
eral months ago while serving a SEN
tence for an attack upon a squaw.
Then he beat bill" Tanner to death
with a club at Tulare. He killed Tan
ner in the presence Of the latter squaw
and children Since then he has been
roaming in the hills, living the life of
a. outlaw. He committed all kinds of
Rltlawry, among other things forcing
another Indian to loot q cabin to get
supplies for him. He outraged num-
Der of women, and the husbands OF
these women had been hunting him.
The negro who shot him on Tuesday
was named Mart.
When brought to Jail DR.. Davidson,
the county physician, examined his
wound, and pronounced it not fatal.
When shot Dick had no weapons but a
case knife, but it is believed he had a
rife hidden in the brush, and was max
ing for it when dropped by the officer S

TRIES TO THROW THE
STEWARD OVERHEARD.
"Jack" Dalton Creates Commotion
on the Steamship Cottage


SEATTLE, March 13.-The steamship
Cottage City, after her eventful trip to
Alaska, reached this port this evening
with her broken nose. The patches on
her bow where the steamship struck the
rocks showed plainly above the water
line She will go on the drydock on
Tuesday TO be thoroughly repaired. The
steamship was not leaking and could go
out on another run as far as her injuries
are concerned.
There was an interesting episode on the
up trip in which the celebrated Jack
Dalton was prominent hgure- Inc
steward insisted upon placing an Indian
next to Dalton at the table. Just before
the steamship reached Juneau Dalton
took the steward to task, with the result
that an exchange of blows followed, and
only the interference of other passengers
prevented Da.lon from throwing his ad-
yersary overheard. The steward was
placed under arrest, and Superintendent
Trowbridge says that his case will be IN
yestigated.

learn from the authorities, they have
not been able to secure a single boat,
though negotiations have been and are
in progress in a dozen different direc-

Government is particularly deficient
with respect to this type of vessel, but

a high official that there are so many

be quickly converted into torpedo boats
that the navy would not greatly suffer
by lack Of these crafts.

GUILTY OF MURDER.

the Part of Midnight
Rohher

JACKSON, March 13.-The trial of
Louis Cassells for the murder of Fred
Grover in lone last November terminated
to-day in a verdict of acquittal. The case
lasted six days, and the jury was out
twelve hours before agreeing. On the
night of the homicide Cassells, who was
employed as a bartender, closed his sa-
loon, taking the money with him. Grow
er, no doubt in a joking mood, ap-
preached in a demonstratiye manner.
Cassells, thinking that robbery was in
tended, shot, killing Grover instantly.
The two men were on the best of terms.
No motive other than that stated was
given for the shooting. The verdict is
generally approved.

with incidents of travel, but very eau

situation. He does not deny that he
will shortly hand to the Legislature
special message, nor will he for the
present affirm it. He was greeted ON
his return by saluteS from the Ameri-

but the only gathering to receive him
consisted of the Cabinet and the Off
Gals Of the Foreign Office and military
