DARING CAREERS
ARE SOON ENDED
Two Young Highwaymen Estab-
Iish Reign of Terror.
COMMITS SUICIDE
HELD UP sToREKEEPER AFTER
PURCHASING CARTRIDGES.

G AN JOSE. CAL, Aug. "A series
y of daring highway robberies
which resulted in the sensat ional
death of one of the robbers and the
wounding of a citizen occurred on the
Montreal road. little before o'clock
this evening
Two young men. apparently HttIa
more than boys in age, opened the pro
ceedings by compelling an old lady
who was driving along the highway
near Eden Vale to alight and deliver
her horse and buggy to them.
They then drove to Z. F. Heples'
store at Coyote. where they purchased
cartridges for .32-calibre pistol.
This they loaded and Immediately
proceeded to hold up the proprietor
and several bystanders, one of them
holding the pistol while the other made
the collections. From the till they got
only IS or Sc and from the bystanders
about as much more
From Hepies' they continued toward
GiIroy. Within a quarter of a mile of
there they met W. w. Mckee, a sew
ing machine agent, accompanied by ].
Z. Roland.
The highwaymen drew a shotgun
and pistol and commanded Mckee and
Roland to hand over their money.
Mckee, believing he had met two
boys on a lark did not check his horse
and one of the highwaymen discharged
his pistol. The bullet passed through
a sewing machine cover and struck Ro-
land in the ffeshy part of the hip, in
fffcting a trifiing wound.
Mckee dashed his horse into a run
and was not further molested.
The robbers continued southerly to
Stevens store, a mile and half from
HepIes', robbing two or three team
sters on the road OF small amounts.
They We're just entering Stevens
store when they saw five or six armed
men riding rapidly toward them This
was posse consisting OF e T. Heples
and the men who had been robbed with
him
The robbers abandoned their jaded
horses and started across a field toward
the westerly foothills A running fight
eusued, in which one of the robbers
was shot through the stomach. In emu
lation of convict Tracy he placed his
pistol to his head and blew out his
brains and died almost instantly. The
other threw up his hands and was
taken into custody.
The robbers were George Tan and Fred
Williams; each about y years old, who

faulted his bail Tan is the one who

Is AMERICAN COMPANY.
Haytien Cable Said to Be Owned by
Commercial Company.

Washington, Aug 9.-Commander
MeCrea is under general instructions
to protect American interests, and, in
addition. yesterday received special in
structions TO prevent the cutting of the
cable OF the United States & Haytien
company. This is not a French COM
pany, as referred to yesterday, but is
purely an American company, being
part OF the Commercial cornpany's sys-
tenn
Commander McCrea will confine him
self strictly to that mission and will
not take sides either for or against the
de facto government. 100 ~
Great confidence is reposed in the
ability and medicines of Com
mander McCrea, and no fresh if4struc-
tons were considered necessary The
Machias has complement of about $50
men, including a marine guard Of
twelve. and could land force of about
fifty men, all told.
A Colt rapid hre gun, which she has
aboard, could be sent ashore with a
landing party. The Machias has eight
four-inch guns in her main battery,
four six FOUNDERS and two one-pound-
ers in her secondary battery, all rapid
fire, and. under the threats of these
guns, it is quitely unlikely that either
the Haytien gunboat or General Fir
Minis force ashore would care to make
an issue
Acting Secretary of the Navy Darling
today sent the following cablegrann to
Commander McCrea of the Machias:
Your actions are approved. Cutting
cable or interference with other than
Haytien interests not to be permitted. -
