BATTLE WITH OUTLAWS
NEAR ALMiRA, WASH.
One Desperate is Dead While His Partner
Is at Large but is Wearing u
Pair of Handouts

One of the most desperate battles
ever fought in the northwest between
officers of the law and desperadoes oc-
Cured Sunday at Almira Wash. As q
result Billy Gibbons, one of the des-
peradoes, lies dead, and his partner is
at large, though handcuffed.
About two weeks ago Gibbons and
Wild rounded up band OF horses to
ship to Wyoming. Deputy Nichell, OF
Okanogan county, followed the thieves
for two weeks through okanogan coun-
ty, locating them at Almira. Nicheil
and Constable Phillips of Almira cap
tured Wild in livery stable. Wild
drew his gun, but the deputy sheriff
covered him and the constable grabbed
the weapon. The prisoner was hand
cuffed and turned over to a group of
about twenty men in the hotel office.
Gibbons was seen entering a saloon
and the officers found their man In
side room. Nichell drew his gun and
ordered the desperate to surrender.
Gibbons jumped behind bystander
and showed him toward the officers, at
the same time drawing his revolver
and starting for the side door. He
raised his left arm to shoot and Nichell
shot the fugitive in the side under his
upraised arm. Gibbons bullet went
wild and he started for his saddle
horse, two blocks away, firing as he
ran.
While he was mounting he was again
hit in the hip and arm and his horse
was shot through the hips The animal.
Notwithstanding, carried its rider
quarter of mile TO where horse was
standing tied with halter. The
wounded horse was discarded for the
fresh one.
Meanwhile Nicheil had secured his
mount from the stable and he soon
came within gunshot of his fleeing
man. A running fight was kept up
eleven miles, when Gibbons threw
down his gun and dismounted. The
desperate had but two cartridges left,
having used belt full of ammunition.
He was brought to Almira, and died at
midnight in the presence of his father
and mother.
Wild meanwhile, guarded and hand
cuffed, was kept in the hotel Office in
the presence of about twenty men.
Suddenly, late at night, face ap-
peared on the outside of the window,
and Wild smiled and dashed through
the door. 1t is supposed he escaped
on horseback, and no trace of him has
been found.

FIERCE FIGHT WITH MOROS.
AMERICAN SOLDIERS CAPTURE FORT AFTER
HAND TO HAND STRUGGLE.
One Onicer and Seven Enlisted Men are
Killed, While the Enemy's Loss was
Very Heayy-Moros Stab Sol
diers Attempting to
Help Them.

The war department has received a
eating that the campaign against Sui
tan Bayan, one of the principal Moro
chiefs, had been completely successful.
The result was accomplished by gall
liant assault on the principal Moro fort
and it's capture after a number of lead
ing Moros had been killed.
The cablegram was as follows: "The
following is the full substance of
Brigadier-General George w. Davis
message from Bayan:
'Eighty-four survivors ofthe forces
of Sultan Bayan surrendered uncon-
ditionally this morning at Z o'clock.
Sultan Bayan, Raja Muda Bayan, Sui
tan Pandapatan and all the leading
Dattos are dead, also many of their
followers.
The assault on the principal fort.
which surrendered last night, was one
of the most gallant performances of
American arms Colonel Frank D
Baldwin and his regiment deserve all
praise for the hand -to.hand struggle in
four lines of bitches under the walls of
the fort. These trenches are lined with
Moro dead from the rifle fire. / have
never seen or heard of any perform
ance excelling this gallant fight.
1T is my painful duty to report
that the overthrow of Moro power was
not accomplished without severe loss.
One officer and seven enlisted men were
killed, four officers and thirty enlisted
men wounded. l will telegraph the
list later.
"'After the eighty four survivors
were marched out this morning as
prisoners, and it was understood they
were all, eight others, who had con-
cealed themselves in rubbish inside the
fort, made break for liberty, but did
not succeed.
:" Some of the Moro wounded tried
to stab the soldiers trying to help them.
| 1t is impossible to state the number of
Moros killed, many lying in the tall
grass The surrender saves us from a
long siege and starving them out. 1t
was impossible to have carried the
works without scaling ladders, which
were ready.
.' Il intend to retain the prisoners
until two or three small adjacent forts
are occupied, then l will consent to re-
lease as hostages eight or ten of the
principals, and then release the 9TH

TRIED TO REGAIN LIBERTY.

Eighty four Moro Prisoners Attempt to
Escape and Thirty five are Killed.
A dispatch from Manila says: Eighty
four Moro prisoners under guard made
an attempt to escape. At precon-
certed signal they got between the
soldiers forming the guard and com
pany at dinner. The latter, realizing
what had happened, fired on and pur-
sued the Moros, killing thirty-fve of
them and capturing nine. The other
fugitives escaped.
The one chance Of saving the life of
Captain Moore of the Twenty seventh
infantry, who was wounded during the
recent fighting with the Moros in the
island of Mindanro, is by trepanning a
portion of his skull resting upon the
brain. Hopes are still entertained OF
saving the lives of the other wounded
American officers.
