Near the California Line.

j. II. Sullivan and Harry Manon
returned late Saturday night from
the 3OOmile trip which they made in
search Of the imam with the SCARED |
nose, who was commonly reputed |
to have led the onslaught on the
Chinese on the night of September
18th. On Monday, the 18th ult.,
Messrs. Sullivan and Manon received |
authentic Information that the man,
about whose whereabouts so much
mystery seemed to hang, and whose
name was afterwards ascertained to
be f. r. Schillinberger, had been
seen couple of days before near
Montezuma, an old mining camp forty
miles southwest of Tonopah Secur-
ing official authority for themselves
and procuring the necessary papers
from District Attorney Richards,
they started off on their long trip
about midnight of Monday The fol,
lowing morning they arrived at Monte
yuma, but learned that Schillinberger
had flown in company with a pros
pector named Pat McManus. Taking
up the trail of the men, who were
following burros which they had
borrowed, they followed it to Silver
Peak, on to Ida valley, thence to
Chatovich's mill, and from there to
Tokop, where they learned definitely
that they were on the right trail and
but a few miles behind the men they
were in search Of
Thursday morning early they came
upon the mems camp, which was
located well into the heart of the
Amagosa desert, and only eight miles
from the eastern line of California
The men had made "a dry camp and
did not have a drop of water either
for themselves or animals when over
hauled. Schilinberger was alone in
the camp when the officers reached
it, McManus having gone out tn
bring in the burros, preparatory to
taking up their march. The officers
furnished the water and food for the
morning meal, after which the war
rant was served on Schllinberger and
he was gathered into custody.
On the return trip Schillinberger
told the officers that he left Tonopah
on the night of the 18th, the day on
which the body of the murdered
ChiLaman was found He walked tC
Mon tezuma, where he fell in with
Nc Manus. Here he remained till he
learned he was wanted, when he took
the road with McManus, and was
making for Arizona by way of Deatt
Valley when captured He also tolC
the officers that he was in the first
assault on the Cinnamon on the night
of September 18th, but to Mr.. Manor
he admitted that he went through
the whole thing
The arrest of Schillenberger is re
grarded as extremely important, al
the evidence which will connect hin
with the Chinese trouble is overwhelm
ing. He is the one who endeavoret
to get u pistol from Jack Court OF
the night of the trouble, and many o
