FRESNO March so.-Railroad De tectives Meade and Crowley and Deputy Sheriffs Peck and Timmins re- turned to this city on the 5:20 train this evening from Merced, Whither they went last night on a special engine when it was re- orted that the Cross Creek train robbers had been surround ed at a point near Indian Gulch. It was found this morning that the rob- bers were not surrounded, but had made good their escape before the gathering of the officers in the vicinity where they were supposed to be hiding. The officers were divided against them selves as to whether the men supposed to be the robbers were actually bandits. and while a posse of twenty officers is still in pursuit of the men in question Meade's men have given up that clew and expect to strike a new lead.
 Peck and Timmins are strongly of the opinion that Bandit Cliff Began led the outlaws, and they are satisfied that one of the men who had the rig that was recovered was fsegan. The proprietor of the store at which the men bought SIS worth of provisions and hat de- scribed the man who did the buying
  in every particular. He yas then shown a picture of the Madeira County outlaw and as soon as he set eyes on 1t he identified it as that of Regan.
 The local officers are thoroughly con- vinced that the man at the store was Cliff Began but the only question with them is whether Cliff Began committed the train robbery, or whether he was merely making his way to more secure fastnesses, believing his position too near here dangerous while so many or ficers are securing the country for the train robbers.
 Another reason why the men should be wary of the officers was the fact that the rig which they had was stolen from J. C. Anderson at Bates on February 28 The rig was thoroughly overhauled. Nothing that would connect the occu- pants in any degree with the Cross Creek robbery was found.
 The officers who surrounded the sec ton of the country where they thought the robbers were corraled could find no trace of them this morning. It IS now believed that the men, from their point of vantage, saw the officers tracking them, and, abandoning their buggy, provisions and blankets, struck out through the ridge leading to the root hills. Parts of the ridge are thickly covered by undergrowth. but the men
 
 where the base of the ridge consists of rock, and there the trail was lost.
 Sheriff Tom Cunningham, the veteran peace officer and criminal hunter of San Joaquin County, is now with the posse following the robbers. Sheriff War field of Merced and Sheriff Prouty of Mariposa are also relentless in the hunt, while a number of constables and Deputy Sheriffs are on the trail of the men.
 Detective Crowley does not believe Began had anything to do with the Cross Creek robbery, while other of ficers think differently. Crowley, after talking for three minutes to the Indian Gulch storekeeper, said there was noth- ing in hunting those men and wanted to return at once. Meade was of diff ferent opinion.
 It is not thought likely now that the robbers will be caught for several days.

BATTLES WITH GALE AND SEA Perilous Voyage of the Little Schooner
 Morrill,. Encounters Hurricane Winds While Returning From
 Alaska. Blown Nearly Seven Hundred Miles Out of Her Course in Ten
 Days.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SEATTLE, March 30-The trim little schooner M. NJ Merrill arrived in port this afternoon after battling with ter rible gales for ten days, during which she was blown nearly 700 miles out of her course. She took twenty gold hunters to Yakutat Bay, whence they hoped to reach the Yukon country by the newly discovered route. As Cap tain Grant and the members of the crew describe the Morrills adventures with the hurricane that ragged in Feb ruary in northern waters, 1t is little short of wonderful that she brought her people back to tell of it.
 The schooner, however, is stiff and staunch. For three days she drifted before the mighty winds that blew from the south and west. Life was made miserable enough for those on board by the MorrillS preliminary brush with a stiff wind off the straits, for many of her passengers had never before en- parked on a long sea voyage. But compared with the weather encountered later the gales off the straits and from there north to Dixon Entrance were but summer ZephyrS.
 J. s. Green, who owns the schooner, says that when he left Yakutat the weather in Disenchantment Bay Wal delightful. Said he:
 There had been some small amount of ice at the mouth of the bay and some of the schooners found 1t necessary to disembark their passengers at Yaku- tat. We went clear to the headwaters of the bay and found navigation open in good shape. The party that went north on the Morrill, Is among the ear Hest to get over the route to the Alsek River. Travel over the pass is all right. People are going and coming contin- ually. At Yakutat there are 200 peo- pie preparing to make the start for the interior"

 Prophet

GRIDLEY, March 3o.-A case which Is 8 surprise to the physicians and grati- fication to anxious parents Is that of eight-year-old Willie Martin.

The brother went into the house and got a shotgun. AS he came out the door the gun was discharg- ed, and Willie, who stood about fifteen feet distant, received the charge of No. 5 shot in the face and head.
 Fourteen of the shot penetrated the boys skull and the doctors probed deep into his brain. He was given up to die, but with perverseness quite astonishing he refused to realize the doctors prophe- home with the other children of the fam ily apparently in no way the worse for the fact that he carries fourteen shot in his brain.
