MARTIN The Herald LOS ANGELES, MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 22, 1894 SAFE IN BAJA CALIFORNIA Evans and Morel Seen Near Escondido. They Were Headed for the Mexican Line. A School Teacher Saw and Conversed With the Fugitives. That Was aa Long Ago as Last Thursday and by Tbla Time the Outlaws Have Crossed tha Inter national Border. By the Associated Press. San Dieco, Jan. 21.—Under-Sheriff Crenshaw received a telephone message from Eecondido today stating tbat two men answering the description of Evans and Morel bad been seen yesterday. The information came from ex-Sheriff Cravath, who said he had learned that tbe men were Been in Keyes csfion, about eight miles to the northeast of Escondido, by a schoolteacher named Roes, who was teaching school in tbe canon. Particulars of the story ware finally received from A. H. Beach of Eecondido, who aaid he had just secured them from Robs. The report had been current in Escondido Satur day but was not believed. The reports said that at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon two men drove up to the school house in Keyes canon and stopped to water their horses. They came np the canon from the San Luis Rey river road. This is tbe old stage road from Los Angeles to San Luis Rey, and up th 9 river to Bear valley. The schoolteacher was at once etrnck by the resemblance of tbe men to de scriptions he had read of E'vans and Morel. The man he took to be Evans had a lap robe thrown over his left shoulder aud the front of which he held with bis right band, but it slipped, aud Ross saw that his left arm was cut off. The man's right eve was closed or miss ing. The other man was driving. Tbey drove ono horse only, hitched to a ligh cart. The sight of the men scared tbe achoolteacher half out of hia wits. H» could not tell whether fhey carrEed ariiia or not. He did not recall seeing any. They aeked Roes tbe best and shortest road to the Mexican line, and be di rected tbem as best be could. They immediately left, taking the road due south leading to Warner's ranch, and which would take them to Campo on the Mexican line. Ross returned to his task and taught school the next day, going to Escondido on Saturday and telling what be saw. By that time the men were safely at the line. Rose is an intelligent man of good reputation, and can have no possi ble reason for lying about the matter. Sheriff Hill was notified at once by hia lieutenant npon receipt of tbe news and he prepared to send a posse to the line to head off the men, but on learn ing that they bad passed Keyes valley as long ago ac Thurs day he abandoned the idea, ea they are probably now in Lower California and bave had time enough to go past Juarez mining camp aa far as the San Rafael valley. the Campo telephone line was down tod«y and all means of communication shut off. From San Rafael valley iv Lower California tbe government road, built by Thomas Blythe, leads to Trini dad valley and across the desert to San Felipe on the gulf of California. Tbe Mexican authorities will be notified in the morning, and in case further investigation reveals that tbe men were the Fre.no fugUives a few tried men will be Bent down from here to work with the Mexican ruralee in following them np.

P. Huntington in which he again strongly deniea any indebtedness to tbe estate of tbe late Senator Stanford, Huntington returned from Washington today and the World says in regard to his assertion that Mrs. Stanford will not bring suit againat him and the statement of hie lawyer, Charles H.

The Pacific Improve ment company is a California corpora tion. Senator Stanford, as wall as my self, held stock in it. At timea money was needed to carry through schemes. The stockholders put up the money. Senator Stanford put up securities at various times. That ia al! there ia to it. The securities are in the hands of the Pacific Improvement company. Those pnt in by all the members of tbe com pany are still in the company's control. They are perfectly safe, and every mem ber, or his heirs, knows just what inter est he holds." Continuing, Mr. Hnntington said: "I state clearly and unmistakably that I have none nf Senator Stanford's securi ties. I repeat I bave no securities be longing to tbe estate. Further than tbat I have nothing to say except to deny the stories already printed." MRS. JOHN CHATTER/TON. LILLIAN RUSSELL AGAIN BEFORE HYMEN'S ALTAR.

Referee Kelly Must Have the Purse in His Fist. Tba Dnval Club's Check Not Considered Good Enough—Arrangements for the Battle Abont Completed. Seoonds Selected. By the Associated Press. Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 21.—1t has finally been decided tbat the Dnval Athletic club will be compelled to tnrn into cash the check Referee John Kelly holds in trust for tbe winner of tbe big fight. Kelly today visited Corbett and the latter said he would uphold Mitchell in the demand that th 9 money be put np. It is nrgued if the club ie "on the square" there can be no objection to interpose to tbe proposition, and the money must be in the hands of the referee when he enters the ring, to be turned over to tbe winner at the con clusion of the battle. Tomorrow Brady, representing Corbett, and Masterson, on behalf of Mitchell, will accompany Kelly before the clnb officials and make a formal demand for tbe cbbli. The arrangements for the fight are about completed, althongb the location is still being kept within the confines of tbe clnb officials. It has been decided to spirit the principals, witb their sec onds, away, sometime Wednesday after noon. Each will be furnished with a special train and pulled towards the common center by circuitous routes. The general start will be made from here early Thursday morning before sunrise, it is intimated, in order to give the fighters as much time aa posaible in 'which to effect a finish. The clnb hae stopped selling ticketß for $25, and it is claimed will sell no more until 1000 spectators are assured. Corbett will go into the ring seconded only by Americans, Jack Dempsev, De laney, Donaldson and Brady. Al Smith will be timekeeper. There will be but one American in Mitchell's corner. Bat Masterson ; the others will be Jim Hall and Steve O'Donnell, both oi Australia, and Harry Darrin of England. Billy Thompson wbo holds the watch is also from Australia. An attachment will be served tomor row on Corbett's personal property at Mayport for $1000, for alleged damages to the property occupied by the party. The cottages used lot training and sleeping quarters are the property of Judge Giboons, of the municipal court, and Clans Meyer of this city. They claim Corbett occupied tbe property without the consent of the owners. States Attorney Hartridge returned from Tallahassee today after a consulta tion with Governor Mitchell. Hartridge said the governor left the instructions to Sheriff Broward, to Attorney-General Lamar and the states attorney. Tbe attorney general, together witb Adju tant General Houston, will arrive in Jacksonville tomorrow or next day. Tbe three beads will then be brought together and as the resnlt the sheriff will receive orders. Hartridge said should the crowd board a train none of tbe railroad employees would be arrested, hut be would say nothing ac to whether tbe principals would be or not. Among several attorneys of this city, the opinion tbat Governor Mitchell in tends an important move on the morn ing of tbe 25th, is gaining strength. They bave an idea that instead of pre venting the fight by means of the miii tia, the governor will order the arrest of C rbett and Mitchell on the charge of arranging for a fight, wbich At torney General Lamar holds cones mithin tbe law prohibiting ar rangements for a duel.. Should they be arrested on ths morning of the 25th, it would neces sitate a postponement of the battle for one day at least, aud the men would un doubtedly be put under heavy bonds to keep the peace until the courts have decided the leuaiitv of tbe matter. This would effectually put an end to the con test. In case it is decided that the fighters are within the limits of the law, it is not probable the contest would take place, as the men would be out of condi tion and the crowdß gone. A report came up from the Mitchell training quarters tonight, to the effect that the Engli-h champion, duriug exer cise early in the evening, sprained and wrenched his leg. The club this evening sent a commis sioner to Anastasia island to notify Mitchell that a special car will be in readiness for him Wednesday morning According to the commissioner, when he returned, Mitchell was in a very unpleasaut state of mind when he learned what wae required of him. It is said he declared he would not fight under the außpiceß of sue h a club, and that he had put up with too many of their bluffs already. The commissioner was then told of the irjjury the English champion had sustained. How Berious that may be has not yet been learned. Al Smith, however, came out tonight with a propo sition in which he offered to bet $SUOO against $li '0, sprained ankle or no, Mitchell would get into tbe ring with Corbett Thursday. The Duval club issued an edict in response to the assertions wbich Mitchell is said to have made, in which the Englishman is Berved with formal warning that the club would claim his lorfeit of $5000 if he did not appear at tbe point indicated in the origin il sum mons Wednesday at ti a.m. In addition to this, it is authoritatively stated the referee will award tbe $5000 aide bet to Corbett in that event. There is con . derable other money which Mitchell would lose if he failed to subject him self to tbe orders of the Duval club. Thurston's Millinery and California Straw Works, 204 S.

King Alexander therenpon as sured him that Milan's presence in the c tv lid not imply tbe adoption of an unconstitutional or unparliamentary course. It is said a coalition presided over by Nicolaievitch is forming, London, Jan. 21. —A dispatch from Vienna to the Standard says the Servian cabinet has resigned because of the presence of ex-King Milan in Belgrade. This they declared to be illegal, but did not care to commence an open conflict witb the crown by Milan's arrest and expulsion. M. Pasitoh, president of the skuptschina, is en route to Belgrade trom St. Petersburg. If be is willing to form a new cabinet, possibly tbe crises may be deferred.
