MURDERER KILLED,
"Wouney' Hart Escaped at Yuma and
Was Killed.

Two desperate criminals, Wou-
ney Hart and Luis Leivas, a Mex
lean, escaped Sunday from the jail
at Yuma, where they were confined,
awaiting sentence for murder and
highway robbery, and after secur-
ing arms and ammunitions, held
up a switch engine and ran out
about thirteen miles from town
where they abandoned it and took
to the hills. A posse was formed
and left thirty minutes later and
overlook the abandoned engine
nine miles from town. The trail
was found and the escaped prison
ers overtaken by the posse after a
seventeen mile chase. In the fight
which ensued Hart was killed and
Leivas captured. Hart is the man
who killed Deputy Sheriff Matt
DeVane at Yuma last January and
was under sentence to be hung.

599.52 and no more; and that Washing
ton had later withdrawn from the bank,
S15,l2260.
The Austin company, through Arson
Phelps Stokes, further alleges that
Washington and Farnsworth, by means
OF false and fraudulent contracts, Sc
cured 10 themselves a large amount Of
the funds OF the company, aggregat-
ing something over sl25, 900, the exact
amount being unknown to the petition
er.
1t is further alleged that a plan
was agreed upon whereby rarnsworth
and Washington were 10 sell to Stokes
and his associates 40 shares Of the
company's stock. In order TO secure
the Indebtedness Of the company Of
Farnsworth and Washington, the COM
pany issued $50 bonds at $1,000 each,
payable In ten years. at per cent in
terest, giving 296 Of these bonds TO the
defendants. who thereupon released
the company from all Of their claims
against IT, Misrepresentation and mis-
appropriation OF the company's funds
Is here alleged.
The petition goes on 10 claim that at
the time the Austin company was in
corporated, the defendants owned the
Horn Silver Mining company, holding
similar positions TO those which they
held in the Austin company. The
charge is made that sl2O goo of the Aus
TN oompsnys money was used to oper-
ate the Horn Silver mine, this being
effected by false and misleading entries
on the books Of the Austin company.
II is also charged that Washington and
Farnsworth made a secret profit from
the business OF the company, but the
crookedness of the books and the gem
eral affairs Of the complaining com
pany made II impossible TO state how
much.
The principal claim Is that the COM
pany was not Indebted to Washington
and Farnsworth I'm the sum of 1885,
600 at the time the bonds were issued,
and that II the books were straight
ened out. II is doubtful II there would
be anything owing. II is alleged. too,
that through the frauds perpetrated
by the defendants the stock OF the COM
pany was greatly deprecated and the
stockholders were damaged TO the
aboun. Of 100000. no part OF which
has been raid. An accounting for all
these transactions is prayed for, and
the court Is asked TO see that the ac-
counting is made according TO equity
and GOOD conscience.
