S0dViS Caught
sonable cos

A special to the Reno Journal from
Auburn, Cal, says Convict Seavis, the
bloodthirsty negro, who escaped with
the prison breakers at Folsom, was
captured tonight in the city of Au-
burn after a desperate battle.
He was not taken until after a short
but lively battle, during which there
was an interchange of bullets and
buckshot, which happily found lodg-
ment only in the person of the negro.
He was discovered on freight train
No. PA. which arrived from the west
at 9 o'clock last night The train
was in charge of Conductor Oscar Nell
son. He had a rock in his left hand
and had his right hand in his pocket
and warned the brakeman who dis
covered him not to come within thirty
feet of him
Operator Knitchen telephoned to
Sheriff Kenna of Placer county and
Deputy Sheriff Coan. The latter we. e
quickly on the scene. armed with
shotguns, loaded with buckshot.
Deputizing Brakemen Rice and
Gibbs and arming them, the sheriff
and his party went down the train
on either side. Seavis saw the light
of one of the brakemans lanterns
md opened fire with a murderous-
ooking 1850 pistol, that carries
regular rifle ball.
Four shots were fired at Deputy
Coan without taking effect.
The sheriff and deputy then turned
loose with their double-barrel shot
guns. A charge from the sheriff's
gun reached home.
Seavis, when he discovered that he
was wounded, exclaimed, Its all up
With me. boys"
He admitted that he was the man
the ywere looking for. Seavis was
handcuffed and taken to the sneriff's
olAce, followed by an immense throng.
At the sheriffs Office Seavis admit
ted everything. He seemed in moral
fear of being turned over to the hands
of the citizens and stated that he had
travelled fifty miles teh night before
and had camped all day near Auburn.
He said that he had been without
food for twenty-four hours. Inc
clothes he wore were scanty, but were
civilian.
When asked about Convict Case
who was supposed TO be travelling with
him, he said he had not seen him since
tue battle Of Pilot Hill and believed
that he was slain there.

WALL STREET
FIRMS FAILED
Nearly Six Million Dollars
Represented in the Two
failures

NEW YORK, August 6.-With Wall
street demoralized by the tremendous
and repeated hammering of both rail-
road and industrial securities today,
the firms of Sharp & Bryan and Huri-
butt, Hatch & Co.. went down.
Five million dollars was announced
by Assignee George H. Sullivan of the
law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell as
the amount of Sharp & Bryans fail
ure. That OF Hurlbutt. Hatch & Co
is conservatively estimated at $780,
600
One well known operator estimat-
ed that the slump in securities alone
today would approximate nearly $780,
100000. The sum is believed to be
under rather than over estimated.
With confidence shaken by the
weakened condition of the market for
the past ten days following the failure
Of Talbot ]. Taylor & Co., and the
Stow concern, July oath, the an
Eouncement of the two failures today
had depressing influence on the
stock exchange
Operators with millions at their
command and brokers accustomed to
the vagaries of the ticker. became
anxious and began asking where the
next blow would fall. Many predicted
another twenty-four hours would
ey olive a more critical situation.
AS the closing hour of the exchange
drew near and there was no evidence
of further announcements of trouble
most of the members hurried to their
offices and began the work of in
trenching themselves against further
depression today But only when the
big gong announced that trading was
over for the day WAS the painful in
tenseness of the situation relaxed
A remarkable feature today while
railroad and general industrial secur-
tiles were tumbling. was the other
side of the story told by the ticker.
Egh record marks were touched in
the various wheat markets OF the
country, and, by strange paradox,
the reports gave evly assurance of a
biz crop. Floods in western Europe
and the awakening to the fact that the
foreign wheat crop will be almost
failure. occasioned this halcyon
news for the American farmer.
Big crops in the west will mean
an added revenue for the railroads
while the crop is moved this fall, and
there is still a cry from the western
wheat fields for more harvesters. AS
q sage student on Wall street re-
marked at the close today, everything
indicated that the country at large
was never in a more prosperous condi
tion.

route have been arriving during the
week and are being forwarded to the
points on the line where they will be
needed. At Calientes quite a stock

Officials of the road hope to begin the
work not later than September /, al
though nothing definite is yet set
tied. Bids for the grading are to
be in by the end of the present week.
II is estimated that 1t will be two
weeks more before the bids can be
tabulated and the contracts let and
signed. Then it will take some time
for the contractors to mass their men,
material teams and machinery. AS
the weather is extremely hot in south
ern Nevada at this season, 1t may be
considered the best policy to wait un-
til early in September before starting
the work, but, as soon as it is begun,
it will be pushed with all possible
speed.
