IMMENSE BOND ISSUE.
Union Pacific Nay Issue $1OO,OOO,OOO
Four Per Cent. Convertible Bonds.

New York. August 16.-Officials of the
Union Pacific road which dominates
the Southern Pacific Company, will
neither affirm nor deny the statement
that the executive committee of the
latter corporation has adopted a reso-
luton recommending a s10O, O,000, 900 four
per cent, convertible bond issue. 1t
is not denied that such action is con-
templated but the proposition is still a
tentative one.
1t is authoritatively declared that no
date has been set for bringing the mat
ter to the attention of the stockholders
and according to trustworthy report
decisive action will not be taken in the
matter for some weeks.
The Southern Pacific Company is the
financial corporation Of the Southern
Pacific railroad of California and its
allied lines. Its authorized capital is
5000, 100000 the greater part of which
has been issued. The proposed bond
issue will doubtless carry some rights
constituting IN effect a dividend on
Southern Pacific stock. In the event
of the bond issue a large sum will be
expended in the Improvement of the

them on horseback. Coming suddenly
upon the men sitting on a lumber pile
at cabin, he opened fire with his pistol
at close range. All five men returned
the fire and White jumped off his horse,
using it as protection.
Two men whom White recognized as
Gus Hyatt and John Doe stood their
ground until their pistols were empty
and then ran down the road and joined
the other three whom White says he
recognized as Fred Seguin, Robert
Bridge and James Simpson from Photos
sent out by the prison authorities.
White left this morning with Sheriff
Hill and will make another effort to
capture the criminals.
