Chris Erani \n Jatl Again. Vwaua, Oal., Feb. 20.—A iherifTs poem surrounded Chris Evans' house at 3 this morning, having intormiiliun that Evans and Morrell were inside. Jlis children were there and a young man named Beesan wi.s paid to go in and get the children out, preparatory to a gen eral attack on the place. As soon as he reached the door he was pulled inside and kept there. A strong gorJon was drawn nround the house nnd half the town were gathered at a respectful dis tance. Word was sent to Fresno for re enforcemeuU and every avenue of ii cape was guarded. Finally seeing no hope of getting away, the banditti sur rendered. Evans and Moi rell are now behind bars in the county jail. The ne gotiations with the bandits were carried on by letters through Evans' young son. A Most Deadly Feud.

Keaisartre Olllctirs Mum. New Youk. Feb. 21.—The steamer City of Para arrived this morning from Colon, bringing the officers and crew of the warship Kearsargo, wrecked on Iton cador reef. She arrivod at th"» dock, which whs gaily decorated in honor of the returning sailors, shortly after noon. Admiral Stanton told the story of the wreck, but declined, in advance of an in vestigation by the government, to say anything as to the cause of the wreck or the responsibility therefor. He ex pressed the opinion that there was no possible chance of saving the hull of the Kearsarge, as she was badly stove aud nearly full of water. Commander Heyerman and Lieuten ant Brainerd also reused to talk, but the latter said that when the vessel struck there was nobody on the bridge, and there was no pilot. Late this afternoon, Secretary Her bert at Washington appointed as court of inquiry to investigate the wreck of the Kearsnrge, Admiral Gherhardi and Captains Miller and O'Kane. Lieuten ant Kelly is named as recorder of the court, which meets in Brooklyn navy yard office, Monday. Jailed For Fortrery. New Yobk, Feb. 21. I-rust lie Wi niau, the well known capitalists and rail road magnate, was arrested on a bench warrant this afternoon on two charges of forgery. In default of 825,000 bail he was committed to the tombs by Judge Mai',inc. Two indictments were found againvt Wvumu by the grand jury to day. They are for forging and uttering clucks. Each of the indictments con tain two counts. The total amount in volved in Wiman'i alleged forgeries is 1229,000. The complainant agaiusl him is K. (5. Dun. president of the mer cantile agency association. One of the charges against Wiman is forgery of (the Endorsement of K. W, Bullinger to a check for $50,000 diawn to Bullinger's order by R. O. Dun & Co. The other charge is forging the endorse ment of Ogdou Brewer to a check also drawn by R. G. Dun & Co for 8558. The checks were forged Jan. 20 and Feb. 6, 1893. The offense is punishable with not more than ten years on each indict ment. The action of District Attorney Fellows in bringing the matter before the grand jury was prompted by a letter addressed to Colonel Fullovre, and sup posed to have been written by ex-Dis trict Attorney Delanoey Nichol. The letter slates that Wiman was connected with R. G. Don & Co. during a period covering the acts complained of «nd for many years prior had business relations with Dun. The letter says: "And yet by various a^ts of embezzvl ment through misrepresentations, con cealments, breaches of agreement, mis use of power confided to bun and gross usurpation of powers with which he whs not intrusted, he succeeded from ]S!>B up to February 18U3, in stealing .:. from Dan the enormous sum of 8229, --; £01.90." On lemming of bis crime, Wi man offered to transfer to Dun certain ( real estate 00 Slaten island of doubtful value, but Dun on learning that Wituan was insolvent, would not accept or re reive any j>ref«reace over i i li- r creditors. Wimaa thereupon made a liiml assign- HUM.', tint bin assets amounted to al- i most nothing. Dun did not immediate- . ly submit proofs of Wiman'i crimes to I, tl (» authorities, being moved by sympa thy for the letter's family, and by peti tions and appeals for mercy which Wi man himself made to him. Dona Conip Rates. Chicago, Feb. 17.—Unless all signs fa.l March 1 will hub the beginning of one of the bitterest railroad wan in re teal years. The action of the Southern Pacifio in boycotting Atchison tickets lias aroused the latter' wrath, nu«l na soon as Vice President Robineon retard from the Pacific coast, about next Thurs day, active preparations for war will be gin. It in not likely the tight will open until the Southern Pacific's boycott goes into effect, but possibly before the trouble is over people mat go from the Missouri river to the Pacific ojast for (5. Being in the bauds of receivers and not compelled to earn more than operating expenses, the Atchison is in good shape for a fight, while the Southern Paoiflo is obliged i.i be more conservative. Hh officers declared today they had not b*en thu aggressors, but if forced into li fight they would be there to a finish. Trouble has been brewing between the Southern Pacific and the Atchison for a long time. In fact, there bus never been any Dearer approach to peace between them than armed neutrality. This is true of necessity. The Atchison wns the first intruder into territory consid ered by the .Southern Pacific exclusively its own. When the Boat in company built its line from St.n Diego to Barstow and acquired the Atlantic and Pacific it broke the California monopoly of the Southern Pacific so far as trade with tbe southwest was concerned, and from Mo jave it was in a position to threaten an entry into San Francisco at any moment, Again, when the California Southern road built into Lus Angeles from Hun Bernardino another hard blow huh dealt the Southern Pacific, and the intense bitterness between tho two systems again mad* itself manifest in more ways than one. Still, there were common in terests, and these commonn interest! kept the Atchison at Mojave and in duced I lie Southern Pacigcto grant con cessions which would not have been made to a company less strong than its rival. There have been rate wars in the past, of course, one notable one when tickets to Los Angeles from the Mis souri river were Bold for $1, but the big companies have shown a more yielding spirit and each has made sacrifices for the sake of peace. This has been true particularly of the Atchison, which, while having the more combative spirit, has been compelled by its financial ne cessities to yield, It is claimed by the Atohison that the Southern Pacific has shown a tendency to take advantage of these necessities, and the ling that this was true has had not a little to do with the present trouble. Now that the receivers are in, the Atchison has a free hand. There has been complaint muds in the past about the &i local rate which the Southern Pacific bus claimed in its own favor in making bookings in Lathrop, and now that there is put upon the Atchison the further indignity of refusing passengers going over its lines to San Francisco via Los Angeles from points east, it is felt tnut the limit of forbearance has been reached, and there can be no re course but war. The trouble among the northern lines adds complications to the situation, so that, altogether, a lively slashing of rates may be looked for OTOe it has be gun. "Shi? Gamble." Over 300 Indians ol the Black river, Cedar river and Puyallup tribes have been holding an immense "sing gamble" near Kenton, the first event of its kind in this country for thirty years or more, says the Review, In early days, before the advance of the white man had changed the aboriginal customs, the "emu gamble" was an annual occurrence and was always tho most important M well as the most exciting event among the Indians of Puget Sound. The revival of the ancient custom at Benton hag proved a howling success, literally as well us figuratively, and the sombre tone of the tom-tom and the blood-curd ling chant of the painted feather bedecked bucks made night hideous lor a radial of two miles. The Black and Cedar river trills combined and tried (ortunei with thu Puyallupn. The stake Included tO horses, wagons, buggies, g^duleu, blankets, jewelry, rifles, bed quilts, shawls, clothing and $150 iii cash, the whole representing $3,500 worth of property, The Cedar and Black Riven bet everything they pus •eat, Including' their winters food and the cloches they wear. The game ran continuously for 120 hours, when the gamblers worn out with the long strain, declared ■ draw. It is played with one black and nine white chips, and resem i lei the ball and cup game of the white man. The "dealer" divides the 10 chips, rolling cedar bark pulp into a ball around the two fives. He then juggles the balls I and the other side chooses oneof its men to ROOM which ball holds the black chip. Sixty-four points is the game, each guess Counting a point. The side that is be hind triiH to cut down the score of its opponent, and by the terms of the game it cannot score so long as the opposing side has a point. This makes the game desperate and protracted. The Renton contest was the second drawn game in the experience of the players. —The Mercantile Co. is out of the hands of a receiver, and the firm is op ■ rating as of old. The town rejoices.
