CONVICTS MAKE FOR
THE MOUNTAINS
California Man Hunt Will Ind
i'm Capture or Exter-
minati0n.

PLACERVILLE, Cal, July 2S.-Ot
the thirteen convicts who escaped
from the state penitentiary at Folsom
Yesterday. twelve are still at large. Joe
Murphy, who was serving fourleeh
year sentence for robbery. was snot
dead last night at Pilot Hill. >. M.
Gordon. the reported leader of the
Gang who had been sentenced to for
ty-five years for robbery deserted ms
followers soon after they left the
prison. He was heavily armed, and
it is not known in what direction ne
sought safety. A negro convict named
Seavis, who was reported wounded IN
the first encounter with the oflcers'
appears not to have been injured.
The eleven outlaws who remain to-
rether are making for the Sierra Ne
Vada mountains. They are closely
pursued by the sheriffs of Sacramen-
to, Eldorado and Placer counties, each
backed by numerous deputies and as
sisted by a company of militia. ABOUT
twenty guards from the Folsom prison
are also engaged in the chase. 1t is
believed that the fugitives will soon be
surrounded, and desperate battle is
anticipated, as all are heavily armed.
The work of the pursuing posses
has been rendered less difficult than
was anticipated by the unexpected ac-
ton of the conVicts, who today re-
1GaSeQ all Oh Tic lICG IlGlI IllCy iC1O Sl'
hostages. 1t is thought that this course
was prompted by lack of food and am
munition The eleven are now be-
lieVed to be near. Placerville, in Ell
dorado county, in a rough country, and
not far from the mountains, which they
evidently hope to make their refuge.
The fight at Pilot Hill last night be-
tween the convicts and their pursuers
seems to have been more serious af-
fair than at first reported After they
had looted q store at Pilot Hill. they
were practically surrounded by the
sheriffs of Sacramento and Placer
counties, each commanding a strong
posse. All four horses on the con-
victs' wagon were shot, and one of the
criminals was killed outright Then
the outlaws ran UP white flag and
marched up the road with guards and
Others whom they had captured on
each side of them. A general Volley
was not ordered, as it might have
killed several innocent men. In this
deliberate manner the second escape
was made. Now that the captives
have been freed the pursuing officers
have been instructed to shoot the con-
victs on sight, their death or capture
in the near future is expected.
The coroner'S jury in the case of
w. l.. Cotter today rendered verdict
of murder against all the convicts who
escaped. The inquest was. held at the
Folsom prison.
A report was received here this
evening that eight convicts were seen
making their way northward along
Greenwood creek, toward the town of
Greenwood. where it is probable raid
will be made by the fugitives. as it is
known they are very short of provi-
sions. The residents of Greenwood
will organize a defense party to pro-
tect the town.

IS CHAMBERLAIN
SHIFTING GROUND?
Opponents of Colonial Secre-
tary Say He Is Revising
Tariff Views.

LONDON, July 2S.-It is stated that
arrangements have been made to call
special meeting of the cabinet about
the end Of September. by which time it
is anticipated that the minister's in
vestigations of the fiscal problem will
have been completed and the cabinet
will be in a position to reach a definite
decision on Colonial Secretary Cham
berlain's proposals.
Mr.. Chamberlains opponents claim,
as the result of tIs4 reception given to
his proposals by. parliament and the
country, that he is already shifting
ground. They say his tendency is to
abandon the policy of solely taxing
food and substituting modified duties
on foreign food and manufactures, the
revenue from which, instead of being
devoted to old age pensions. would be
applied to removing and relieving the
taxes on sugar, tea and tobacco.
