Conflicting Tales
Vex the Active
Officers of Law
Cardinal Herrero is being treated by
Dr. Lapponl and nursed by his fellow
Cardinals, besides his conclavists. King
Alfonso of Spain has telegraphed to his
Embassador inquiring as to the condi
tion of the Cardinal.
The Osservatore Romano, the organ of
the Vatican, officially announces that Car
dinal Herrero y Espinosa, being gravely
111. has received the last communion. Mon
slgnor Boniface JIarin, the Vicar Gen
eral of his archdiocese (Valencia), was
admitted to the conclave to-day, the door
being opened for that purpose with all
the prescribed precautions. Outside were
the Governor and Marstr.il of the con
clave, assisted by captains ot the guard.
The Apostolic Prothenotarles and the son
of Prince Chigi acted as witnesses. In
side the door when It was opened were
Monslgnor Merry del Val, secretary of
the consistory; Monsigor Roggi. prefect
of r ceremonies, and Monaignor Marzollni.
The record of the admittance of Monslg
nor Marin was officially recorded in a
formal document, which will be placed in
the archives.
CARDINAL HEBBERO DYING.
Among the Embassadors and ecclesias
tics there exists a general opinion that,
if only for the sake of saving the aged
Cardinals, much may be sacrifled within
the conclave to arrive at a speedy con
clusion. On the other hand there are a
few pessimistic enough to believe tHat
the hostility among the factions in the
Sacred College is so bitter that the. strug
gle may be continued for several weeks.
Out of all the rumors and gossip afloat
concerning what is transpiring In the con
clave the most persistent report Is to tho
effect that the Rampolla and Seraflno Van
nutelli factions have remained compact
and that the attempt of one faction to
press forward a. new candidate In the
hope of breaking the strength of the
other has failed. The Italia says that
matters have reached a point which pre
sages the possibility of the election of a
foreign Pope and that Cardinal Kopp.
Bishop of Breslau. who is most frequent
ly mentioned in this connection, has the
support of the German Emperor. If this
is true, the Italia interprets it as a move
on the part of the Rampolla faction to
win over the Austro-German Cardinals
from Seranno VannutellL •
IHO BREAK IN" FACTIONS.
Rome Is becoming extremely impatient
over the delay in the selection of the new
Pope, concerning which there appears to
be no definite expression, owing to the
rigid secrecy with which th© proceedings
within the conclave are being guarded.
To-day practically the only news that
came from the Slstlne Chapel was that
of the extremely grave illness of Cardinal
Herrero. It is presumed, however, that
the other aged Cardinals also are suffer
ing from their prolonged incarceration
and the Intense heat.
ROME. Aug. 3.— After three full daya
of deliberation, during which six ballots
have been taken, the members of the
conclave still remain shut up in the Vat
ican without having selected a successor
to L«o XIII. Tha futility of both the
ballots taken to-day was evidenced by
the smoke which arose from the Slstina
Chapel. This mute signal »hls evening
was watched by a large crowd, which
partly filled the Square- of San Pletro,
and which, it was estimated, numbered
about 15,000. Great disappointment was
manifested, and when the little puff of
'smoke appeared there were loud cries,
not only of disappointment, bat even' of
derision. J • ¦ .

Shows Traces of
Traveling Felons
So with a report that the body of a
convict had been found near Auburn this
morning. Investigation showed that this
was founded on the report made in Pla
cerville yesterday that one of the con
victs who had ambushed the militia had
been found on the hill near the Grand
Victory mine» The report from Placer-'
ville reached Auburn and in coins: from
one person to another it was distorted.
Ajsearch is being made of the hill where
the soldiers were ambushed in order to
see if one of the convicts Is lying dead
there, but so far no signs have been dis
covered. Every possible ¦ outlet from El
Dorado County is carefully guarded by
600 armed men, but there Is still the pos
sibility of the murderers who killed the
two soldiers slipping through the lines.
VEXATIONS FOR POSSES.
The air Is still filled with rumors of
all kinds and the work of the Sheriffs
and posses is most arduous. Every ru
mor and report that comes In has to be
Investigated, for otherwise it would seem
as if the entire malodorous population of
Folsom prison was at large.
An instance of the hard work of the
Sheriffs is shown by the report that came
In here from Dutch Flat late last night
that shots had been exchanged between
the posse and two convicts near Dutch
Flat Cemetery. Sheriff Keena of Placer
County rode with his posse all night from
Lotus to Dutch Flat, while another posse
sped over the road from Auburn in order
to be In the expected battle this morn
ing. Early news from Dutch Flat this
morning showed that there was nothing
whatever In last night's report that a
convict had been wounded and one of
the posse shot.
"Red Shirt" Gordon has not been seen
since be dropped away from the band of
thirteen murderers when Guard Ryan of
Folsom prison fired on> the outlaws at
Mormon Island bridge. Gordon is prob
ably in hiding by this "time in some large
city.
Still three more of the convicts are
thought to be on the middle fork of the
American* River, northeast of the Span
ish Dry Diggings, which are near the
Placer County line. One of the convicts
is probably in . Nevada to-day, as all re
ports indicate that one of the outlaws
worked his way clean across El Dorado
County and struck out on the Tahoe road.
GORDON ENTIRELY LOST.
culations of the events of the past few
days, five of the convicts who ambushed
the militia at the Grand Victory mine are
somewhere on the middle fork of the Co
sumnes River southwest of the town of
Grizzly Flat. The convicts Seavls and
Case are still in the region of the Web
ber Creek district, where the creek runs
into the south fork of the American Riv
er. These desperadoes, one of whom is
the notorious and bloodthirsty negro,
were seen Saturday night about four miles
due 'east of Salmon Falls. They took
dinner at the Chapman ranch and ad
mitted their identity.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
PLACERVILLE, Aug. S.— Flags
are at halfmast and an air of
mourning pervades this city on
account of the untimely end-
Ing, of Festus Rutherford and
GrifHth Jones, the two members
of Company H of the Second Regiment,
National Guard of California, who so
bravely met death whileMiuntlng for some
of the escaped felons from Folsom prison
last Saturday.
The bodies of the two men were viewed
by hundreds of people yesterday at the
undertaking . establishment of Coroner
WInchell. This morning Captain Wlster
of the militia mounted a guard of honor
and this guard* will be maintained during
the night. The body of Rutherford was
removed from Placerville this morning to
his mother's home at Missouri Flat, as
she and her children desired to have the
remains of their loved one In the home
for one night before the interment is
held. Jones* body remains at the Cor
oner's office and unless word is received
to-day from Jones' wife, from whom he
was separated, the militia company will
carry out Its plans and give the remains
a military funeral. The wife of Jones
and her little girl live in San Francisco,
but no one has been able to locate them.
The body of Rutherford will be buried
to-morrow morning and that of Jones In
the afternoon. Brief services will be held
at the Rutherford home and the body will
then be brought to Placerville, where It
will be met by the militia company and
members of the Fraternal Brotherhood.
Services will be held at- the Methodist
Episcopal church and the Rev. George T.
King will officiate. The funeral will be
a military one and all honors will be ren
dered to the dead hero. The Interment
will be at Union Cemetery. Tfie funeral
of Jones will take place in the afternoon
and military honors will be a tribute to
the heroic young man who gave his life
while serving as a volunteer to enforce
the law. .The body of Philip Stringer has
been taken care of by his friends and the
funeral of the man who was accidentally
shot will be private.
The outlaws traveled most of the day
and ,night following their departure from
Hanks' Exchange over the roughest kind
of country and arrived at a point a mile
and a half from the Copper Lead mine at
10:30 o'clock last night.
They visited the cabin of George Esty,
commonly known as "Dutch Henry," and
held him up at the point of a rifle. He
was compelled to prepare a meal for the
desperadoes, who ate heartily. After sup
per thev went .through the old man's
house and took practically everything he
possessed. Warning him that he would
be killed If he should report . the affair,
they strode, off in the darkness up the
bed of the river, whicn is nearly dry at
this season of the year. .
Seavis, the negro, was not in the gang,
and as he was- seen at, Chapman's only
a few hours after the fight it ; is certain
that he. was not with tne men who killed
the militiamen, as was at first thought. .
News of the hold-up in the neigbbor-
force of twenty men. I believe that we
will have a brisk fight."
Norman was with Deputy Sheriff Thom
as Jackson of Amador at the Evans and
Sonntag round-up. Jackson is one "of the
best known gunflghters and trailers in
California. He has a wooden foot, which,
however, does not impede his mountain
work materially. He is as happy as a
clam at high tide to get into so lively a
hunt, and asserts that he will come back
with some scalps.

about having aeen any posses, but were
on their guard, and were avoiding all
centers of population.

Amador Sheriff
and His Posse
Expect a Battle
"There is no road to that village and
the convicts must have taken a mountain
trail if they did not keep along. the river
bed. There are no houses to speak of
beyond the Fiat, and if the outlaws are
careful /they can get to the hills and over
into Nevada. They can grub stake most
any day, shooting game. Besides there
will not be any one who will tackle the
Job of hunting them in the mountains.
It is worse than looking for a needle in
a haystack. They came " down from
the Copper mine. to Fair Play, and then
up to Somerset, where he ran into me."
O. H. McCoughey, manager of a gold
mine two miles up the Cosumnes from
the Copper Lead mine, has been In Pla
cerville' for a. week,, and was much ex
cited yesterday when . he heard - that the
desperadoes wereV heading toward his
camp."- His wife and children and twenty
-employes are at "the mine and are In no
,way prepared to protect themselves from
the outlaws. McCoughey Bays that his
people will have sense enough to feed
reckless murderers if they, arrive and he
will make no objection if half the camp
Is carried away into the Sierras.
REGION VERY ROUGH.
"I»cot into Somerset early this morn-
Ing and saw Dick Lyons riding horse
back 'down the road like mad. He shout
ed that he was coming for help to get
the escaped convicts who stood up and
robbed "Dutch Henry" a mile and a half
below the Copper Lead mine on the Co
sumnes River. He was after Sheriff Nor
man and four other men from Amador
County, who spent last night a^Bakers
Bar, and- who intended to make Grizzly
Flat to-day to. head off the convicts.
"Lyons said that the outlaws knocked
at the door of his cabin and when he
appeared they told him to dig up some
grub and be auick about it. They held
a sun on him while he cooked supper.
After they had eaten they went through
the shack. and gobbled up blankets, food
and even a lot cf clothes. They said they
were convicts. They lay around half an
hour or so and then took on up the Mid
dle Fork of the Cosumnes toward Grizzly
Flat.'

"Dr. Piercs's Golden Medical Discovery
seems to take the place of hard training in
developing strength, vigor and endurance

physical strain and partake with greater

know of. It can always be relied upon
to increase the appetite, induce healuful
sleep, and tone and refresh a worn-out

it speak in the same high terms, and we
have reason to consider it an office man's
