GUTHRIE, O. T., Aug. 10.— As a result
of a neighborhood feud • William Cooper
and. his son, James Cooper, are dead and
Samuel Barrett severely wounded. 'They
were farmers living near Oleta. Wood
ward County. The parties met at a pub
lic well, and in ' the altercation young
Cooper shot Barrett .in the head with a!
load of fine shot. Barrett then seized a
shotgun. and killed both the Coopers. The
slayer. is *ln- jail at/Woodward.
Kills His Two Assailants.
One of the other . hold-ups occurred
Wednesday night at Lombard and Stock
ton streets and the victim was relieved
of several dollars In money and a watch.
The following night another man wa3
robbed at Montgomery avenue and Broad
way. Both of these latter hold-ups were
committed by two men apd the descrip
tion given by their victims tallies with
that furnished of his assailants by True
worthy. One is said to be a large, heavy
eet man with a slouch hat, with a hag
gard face 'and close-cropped- hair. The
other is said to be smaller, wearing a
derby hat and a small dark mustache
and who looks like an opium fiend.
After the second robbery was reported
Captain Martin concluded that the per
petrators might have been Gordon and
some companion and accordingly the
three watches of patrolmen were notified
to keep a sharp outlook for men answer
ing the descriptions given. Since the
robbery of Trueworthy extra precautions
have been taken and four detectives are
engaged in endeavoring to apprehend the
footpad*. It appears altogether likely
thet Gordon has sought refuge in this
city, which would prove his best hiding
place if he managed to reach here In
safety. If he be concealed here, it Is
likely that his desire for opium . would
stimulate him to the commission of just
such crimes as these to obtain mone" for
the purchase of the drug. ,
Three hold-ups have occurred within
the last week on the North Beach dis
trict and the police department Is con
siderably exercised over them, believing
that there Is a possibility that the per
petrators are "Red Shirt" Gordon, one
of the escaped Folsom convicts, and a
companion with whom he has sought
refuge in this city.
The last robbery occurred Saturday
night, when Alonzo Trueworthy, proprie
tor of the Palace Baths at 715 Filbert
street, was halted by two men armed
with revolvers on Leavenworth street
near Union and $35 and a valuable gold
watch were taken from him. Trueworthy
had been at the Baths making up hid
accounts and started for his home at
1414 Green street about 11 o'clock. As he
turned into Leavenworth street he was
halted by, a command to hold up his
hands and found himself facing a brace
of revolvers In the hands of two men.
One of them kept him covered while the
other searched v him. When they had fin
ished they ordered him to proceed and
not to look back under penalty of death.
After he had gone half a block he turned,
but the robbers had disappeared. The
following day he reported the matter to
Captain of Detectives Martin.

Sheriff Reeae said* to The Call correspond
ent to-night that he could see nothing to
do but await developments.' The Sheriff
has personally engaged In the hunt for
the past two weeks, having relaxed only
one day from. the task. He said
he had placed much faith! in the story
which reached him last night that two
of the convicts. Fahey and Davis; had
been seen at Sailor Bar, above Fair Oaks,
but the most vigorous search had failed
to locate the suspects. . Sheriff Reese said
that merely beating, the brush will' not
locate the men, for, : as he expressed.it,
there is enough brush within a mile of
Sacramento to shelter all the convicts in
the State. Word was received to-night of
a visit to Meister's dairy, near the road
leading to the American River bridge,. of
two suspects, 'who •¦had'* called .'for/ milk
and then appeared to be waiting for an

VOCALISTS of renown and -famous
athletes will appear at the Me

is the talk at the Olympic Club,
under whose auspices many de
lightful entertainments have been given,
that the concert to-night will be. one of
the most - attractive performances ever

Tickets in great numbers have been
sold, but as the auditorium of the pavilion
is large c vast audience can be accom

¦Several trains by way of. this~ route are
scheduled to arrive here to-day, among
them "one from Iowa and .another, from
Pittsburg, but the. railroad officials are
not confident that they will reach here
on the.- originally, arranged time. The
trains coming by way of the Rio Grande
system 1 Include about 130 carloads or about
500) persons. Thousands will of course
come on the regular trains and no efforts
will' be. made by the railroad. company to
keep track of them, this duty being left
to-cthft local Grand Army committee of re
ception. _~
So far the Southern Pacific has been-ad
vised of the coming of about seventy-five
special trains, of «whlch forty- four will be
turned over to the company by the Rio
Grande system at Ogden. About sixteen
trains will come through under the super
vision of-the Union Pacific and the others
will come -by way of the Sunset route or
be turned over by the Santa Fe road at
some point near Los Angeles. In fact the
latter' road will not have many through
specials, the majority of its Grand Army
traffic, being booked on the western trip
to San Francisco by way of Los Angeles.
It is with considerable effort that the
passenger department of the Southern
Pacific is gaining correct Information re
garding the west-bound trains. In fact
the only direct information that it has as
yet received is concerning the trains com
ing by, way of the Denver and Rio Grande
road. According to the reports made by
that company the greater number of its
special ..trains will be delivered to the
Southern Pacific . Company at Ogden on
August 12, 13, 14 and 15, and will be hur
ried along as fast as possible, arriving: in
this city on the 14th, 15. 16th and 17th. A
number of. the excursion parties have ar
ranged to • stop over In Salt Lake long
enough to see the sights of the Mormon
city, rfnd this will delay their arrival here.

SAN RAFAEL, Aug. 10.— State Prison
Directors Wllkins and Felton appeared
before the Mann County Board of Super
visors this afternoon and asked that ths
county road between San Rafael and San
Quentin, known as the "Hill Road." b»
abandoned as a public highway and made
a private road.
"This," said Director Felton. addressing
the board, "will not only insure the resi
dents of Marin County from an outbreak
of the convicts, but will also materially
assist us in preventing ex-cenvlcts and
others from 'planting* opium where trus
ties can smuggle it Inside the walls. We
have plaps whereby It will be practically
impossible for any convict to escape from
San .Quentin and if we get the road asked
for our guards will have far greater Juris
diction and can stop the smuggling o"
contraband goods. We will build another
road for the county leading to San Quen
tin, but on a more circuitous route. Our
plan?, when consummated, will make Saa
Quentin one ot the finest penal Institu
tions in America. Folsora at the present
time is no more than a hotel or picnic
grounds, and 13 practically unprotected,
but our plans will also render that place
a prison to be admired and not ridiculed
as It Is to-day."
Director Wllkins to-night, in speaking
of the concession asked for to-day, said:
"Our beard has plans for a great many
changes in San Quentin. In order to carry
out ,our plans we will try to get a targa
appropriation from the next Legislature.
One of the greatest changes inside th«
walls will be the demolition of the larg*
brick building formerly use 1 as a furni
ture factory. We will erect in its stead a
lcrge number of cells. More watch tow
ers will be built and the scope of terri
tory for the guards to 'cover will be In
creased. We have had a great deal of
trouble with 'Hill Road.' Ex-convlcts
and others' unknown have bo*n continu
ally using that read as a means of smug
gling contraband goods into the prison.
We have found opium in large quantities
buried alongside > the road as well as re
volvers and dynamite at different time*.
Our guards, as It now stands, cannot
stop this cacheing. as they cannot molest
people on the public highway." *

their intention of investigating the mat
ter. .

The country through which the outlaws
and peace officers traveled is the wildest

With this story as a clew a posse pro
ceeded toward the summit this afternoon,
but the general feeling Is that further
pursuit would be useless. Tho profes
sional trailers who joined the 7ZI Dorado
County posse yesterday separated from
the peace officers and each other to-day
in order to pick up the tracks again.
W'yatt and Gignac took different courses
in the heavily timbered section to the
kft abd Co!bin turned to the right.
The convicts were headed due east at
last accounts. The last actual trace of
the outlaws was at the old Plummer
fhtep ranch, where Berue and Bowman
v ere held up and robbed Saturday. Many
of the posse are certain, however, that
the convicts had surely been tracked to
Devils Elide. Norman would enter this
I>lace with his men, as though the El
Dorado County man-hunters were positive
that the fugitives had taken that course.
The Amador County posse was well provi
sioned at the time and comparatively
fresh, but the Sheriff was inclined to
think the quarry was going to Silver Lake
and took that course himself after argu
ment.
The Placc-rvlile officials are puzzled at
Norman's conduct on the chase.
The man-hunters to-day obtained what
•was considered reliable information con
cerning the location of. the convicts yes
terday afternoon Sxora W. . J. Rhoades,
who is in the employ of Easton, Kldridge
& Co. at San Francisco. He is camping
in the mountains with several companions
a few miles west of Silver Lake. In con
versation with a Call representative to
day Rhoades said: "About 3 o'clock yes
terday afternoon I went to the door of
oar cabin and looking up the hillside
eaw a man Etep cautiously from behind
a big pine tree and take a survey of the
surrounding country. I thought he acted
suspiciously, particularly as lie did not
approach our cabin, which Is the only
one for miles around. People always stop
there in pushing through this region. I
went to the rear of the house and called
to my companions to come and take a
look at the stranger. When we returned
to the door he dodged out of fefght and
dfd nut appear again. The innj\ «ai
armed with a rifle, but I could not tell
much about him."
TRAILERS LEAVE POSSE.
The Amador County and El Dorado
County pcsFtS met and compared notes
to-day* and it was decided after ¦ lengthy
conference that Norman and his detach
ment of mountaineers should travel as
fi.st as possible by a short cut to Silver
LalieTwhich uiay be the objective point
of the fugitives, while Cook anl his men
will resume the chase at a slower pace.
C. E. Fcrrell, in charge of the blood
hounds, stated to-day that if the convicts
¦were r.ct located by to-morrow he should
advise that pursuit be abandoned.
PLACERVILLE, Aug. 13.— Tho El Do
rado County posse, commanded by Gilbert
Cook, has practically abandoned pursuit
of the five convicts, who are hastening
toward the Nevada line. The peace offi
cers are nearly exhausted and the* trail
was becoming blind this afternoon. Sher
iff Norman of Aniador County and his
posse have gone to Silver Lake to head
off and arsbush the outlaws. The fugi
tives traveled faster than the pursuers
and their present whereabouts is again
only a matter of conjecture. Cook's
posse started out en a fresh trail yes
terday shortly after daylight and con
tinued the pursuit all day with little rest.
The convicts showed remarkable' ability

tance between themselves and the Sher

FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique. Auf.
10.— The island of Martinique was swept
'by a hurricane of great violence last
night. Its duration was ten hours and
It was particularly severe during two
hours at Fort de France, where It caused
much destruction.
Martin says the robber was about five
feet seven or eight Inches tall. His hair
was black and there was about three
weeks' growth of beard on hi* face. Ue
wore no coat. His trousers, originally of
light material, were torn and grimy with
dirt. He was armed with a rifle and re
volver. He looked worn and haggard.
Frank Slinger claims that he saw a man
of the same description ir the same ppot
yesterday. He thought nothing particular
cf it. having seen so many wornout look
ing men with arms traveling through the
country lately.
Bosquit says that as Case is sick and
a dope fiend as well, there should be lit
tle difficulty in capturing or killing him.
The miner needed no second invitation,
and started down the read at a brisk
pace. He gave the .alarm immediately.
The scene of the hold-up was near John
Rawlins' house, and Sheriff Bccqult and
posse went there as soon as possible. The
ravine is covered with brush and timber
and affords many excellent hiding places.
It became dark shortly after the arrival
of the man-hunters and the pursuit had
to be abandoned. -
SEARCH MADE FOR CASE.
Sheriff Bosquit and his deputies feel cer
tain that Convict Frank Case is near this
city. A man answering his description
was seen yesterday, and again to-day.
James Martin, a miner, was held up by a
man supposed to be the convict at 5:30
o'clock this afternoop and robbed of a
dinner pall filled with food. A posse was
sent out and made rough but fruitless
search of the locality where the robbery
occurred. Pursuit will be resumed to
morrow. Martin is employed at. the I-an
decker mine. He set out from what is
known as Upper Town, In Placerville, and
was walking leisurely toward the mine,
in Cedar Ravine, which is less than a mile
southeast of the postoffice. *In a lonely
section of the road a man stepped out
from the bushes a few feet distant and
said. "Here, there, you fellow; come
hire." As the stranger had a rifle and
seemed determined Martin obeyed. The
highwayman grabbed the dinner pail and
said, "Now, you go, and go fast."
Devils Slide Is worthy of its name.
Those who have visited the locality state
that the place is filled with hiding places
and that at many points two men could
stand off fifty. Food and animal life is
scarce there, and human beings could not
remain there long unless supplied with
provisions from the outside. Devils Slide

men on foot, and other methods of travel
are impracticable. Gigantic granite
bowlders, many of them as large or larger
than The Call building, are strewn, on
every hand, and lava from extinct volca
noes covers much of the ground. The
timber is heavy and the undergrowth is
almost impenetrable. The convicts have
supplies sufficient to last several days.
Cook says he will stay with the chase un
til the last vestige of hope has disap
peared. Many of his companions are con
vinced that the hunt should be aban
doned.
Word was conveyed to the men at work
and they followed the women to compel
a speedy return. Words were of -no avail
and resort was Jiad to force. The men
used the whips they had for their horses
and oxen and the unclad cortege was soon
broken and in homeward flight. Many of
the women were badly injured by the
blows of the lashes.
WINNIPEG. Aug. 10.— Ever since the
Doukhobor outbreak of a year ago, when
more than 2000 started on a pilgrimage in
search of Jesus, only to be called to a
halt by mounted police, driven into a cor
ral and bundled off to their homes on
closely guarded trains, religious excite
ment has been smoldering in the far
away villages of the colony of this'
Btrange Russian sect. About a week ago
a woman agitator named Sophia Stor
boloff managed to obtain a following
in one of the settlements back of Swan

Special Dispatch to The CalL
There was a profound silence in the
court room during Madame Humbert's
declaration, but her final words again
putting off the promised disclosures
aroused derisive laughter.' When the
court intimated that the statement was
vague, Maitre Laborl answered:
. "But Madame Humbert engages herself
to speak at the close of the hearing."
The court then began the examination
of the ninety witnesses j called, outside
the family, which will occupy many days.
Madame Therese's declaration that the
Crawfords actually exist \under another
name is generally regarded as only an
other of her ruses to gain time.
The Judge, interrupting her, asked:
"Then where are the Crawfords?" Ma
dame Humbert replied:
If the Crawfords do not come here I will
give their name and that will suffice. I have
already told Maltrtf Labor! that when the wlt
nesses—-have been heard and the hearing is
concluded I will tell all.
1 have tried to C. 1. the Crawfords and their
millions. I have not succeeded in finding the
money, but I have found the Crawfords. They
have made a terrible revelation to me. I have
told Maitre Labor! all. He knows the real
name of the Crawfords. for they do not call
themselves by the name of Crawford. No one
will suffer any loss. 1 will pay every one.
Perhaps the Crawfords may not appear, but
they exist. It is only their name that _, does
not exist. :
Madame Humbert here made another
declamatory statement, protesting her
complete innocence. She said:
The examination of Romalne d'Aurlg
nac, Madame Humbert's brother, brought
out nothing new.
Romalne d'Aurignac testified that Ma
dame Therese commissioned him to trace
the whereabouts of the Crawford broth
ers. Once, he said, when Crawford vis
ited his residence he followed him to the
Grand Hotel de Louvre and located the
room occupied by Robert and Henry
Crawford. The former was sick in bed
and refused to get' up, but Henry came
to the door and after a brief conversa
tion accepted copies of some legal papers.
The Judge sought to bring out that Ro
malne himself impersonated the,Craw
fords and instituted suits in their name.
The defendant denied ever impersonating
the Crawfords or writing the letters
signed by the Crawfords.
"WILL FIND CBAWFOBDS.
Frederic' Humbert testified lengthily re
garding the affairs of the Rente Viaegre,
the insurance concern which the Hum
berts started and In the crash of .which
thousands of poor people lost all their
savings. , He .-maintained, that the opera
tions were conducted in good faith and
claimed that public prejudice a aroused
against the Humbert family ' brought
about the failure of the concern. He de
nied the Judge's statement that the
rooms in the palatial residence of the
Humberts in the -Avenue de la Grande
Acmes were connected by a system of
secret telephones. Madame Therese here
also -exclaimed: "Lies; more lies." Fred
eric Humbert said he had devoted most
of his time to art and poetry, leaving
the entire financial operations to hid
wife.
FBEDEKIC TESTIFIES.
The Judge, however, proceeded with the
examination of the other defendants,
despite M. Humbert's constant interrup
tions. During Judge Bonnet's searching
interrogation of her husband, Madame
Therese dramatically exclaimed: "Mon
ster le President: You are clearly show
ing by your manner that you are against
ur. You should disguise your feelings
and try to appear impartial."
The spectators were greatly amused at
this outburst. The Judge orderedN Ma
dame Humbert to be silent, but she again
shouted: "You are continually showing
your prejudice."
PARIS, Aug. 10^-The Humbert trial to
day drew another large crowd to the
Palais de Justice. Madame Therese
Humbert continued to dominate the pro
ceedings and created several scenes
when the court attempted to examine the
members of the family. M. Bonnet, the
presiding Judge, insisted on examining
Frederic Humbert, her husTxind, but
Madame Therese, rising, said: "I de
mand to be heard. I am strong to-day
and will explain where the millionaires
are." .'
