Sheriff Kenna and Deputy Sheriff Conn Thursday evening was seen to get on freight train No 214 eastbound from New castle When the train arrived at Au burn Conductor N Nelson re ported the discovery to Operator J P who called up the sheriffs office The train was held and Sheriff Keona and Deputy Sheriff Coan hur ried to the depot Seavis had been riding behind the pusher engine Engineer Ed Waters had just been talking to Seavis who slipped dff the car when the train stopped and was sitting down on some lumber Waters asked him where he was going Seavis replied that he was going harvesting In Nevada When Keen a and Coan arrived one officer went on side of the train When they came up to Seavis they called on him to surrender Seavis replied by firing three shots As Seavis dodged under a car both Keena and Coan emptied heir guns at him and Seavis called out Dont kill me I am Seavis The officers went to where he lay on his side holding his leg His pistol was found a few feet away fully cocked He was carried to the depot put on a stretcher and taken Into jail where his wound was dressed hunting all over the county and the columns of the Democrat could not contain all the rumors that were In circulation Some of these were ible and if the officers had not Investi gated them they might have subjected themselves to the charge of being re in their duty Others were so Improbable and palpably absurd that the wonder Is how they started A fresh arrival f ronj any of the rural dis was the signal for the gathering of a curious and excited throng and the recital of rumors and rid suspicions was listened to with much eagerness A summary of the incidents of the entire day shows that while Yolo coun ty was really the storm center in the exciting search for the convicts the developments were really of a very unimportant character The negro and the white man seen early In the morning at Chalmers Bros slaughterhouse were arrested late In the afternoon about a mile north of by Constable Haln Une and Deputy Sheriff Johnson The negro was with a big dirk and revolver all right and he carried a few extra but he did not an swer the description of Seavis The officers concluded that it would be best to detain the prisoners over night as they might be wanted somewhere but this morning they were released The negro arrested at ar rived at the sheriffs office about mid night in charge of Constable Woodard He would probably never have been suspected if lie had not carried a re volver which he accidentally dropped from his pocket on the streets of He could give no tory explanation of why he carried a revolver so Sheriff Griffin relieved him of it and let him go He was per mitted to retain his razor While all tbc rumors about the pres ence of Scavis In Yolo county were dying thick and fast Sheriff Reese of Sacramento who was in Woodland Thursday night was called to the telephone and informed that Seavis had been wounded and captured at Auburn This report is confirmed by lie telegram at the head of these col This morning District Attorney Seymour of Sacramento telephoned that he had seen the wounded man and there is no doubt that It Is Seavis THE ELUSIVE HOWARD His Reported in Many Places at the Same Time SUSPECTS FREED in Yolo County The capture of Roberts Tille Wednesday evening had the ef fect of putting everybody on the alert and arousing unwarranted suspicion every stranger Aa a mult Thursday was a strenuous day la nun Howard is another of the convicts who are earning a reputation for being ubiquitous Posses were busy on Thursday trying to intercept his flight to both Nevada and Oregon He was also omnipresent in Yolo county Late in the afternoon a telephone message was received from Winters at the sheriffs office The Information was to the effect that a man who was recog as Howard went into the drug store in the forenoon some purchases After be had gone away Constable Warder was notified came another report that the suspect had been trailed up Butah creek to valley where he turned south going in the direction of Vaca ville The same Information was sent to Solano county officials and Sheriff Keys and the constable hur ried to Winters Thursday evening the Solano county officers accom by Constable Warder Town Marshal and Nightwatch man Baucom beat the brush along creek both below and above town but failed to make any eries The Solano county officers re turned to their homes this morning Late Thursday evening came a report that Howard had pursuers In Pleasants valley reached and was pulled off a freight train A telegram received from the sheriffs office stated that there was no founda tion whatever for the rumor A telephone message from a reliable source in Winters this morning con veys the information that reports sent out from there Thursday afternoon were grossly exaggerated The man who It was claimed was Howard did not leave Winters was Men there after the report was sent out and does not bear tie faintest resemblance to How ard A clue to Howards presence In an other the county was more prom ising 9 oclock Dave Colburn came and reported that Sacra was trailing a man be to be Howard In the neighbor hood of the old canal near the Wil low slough country was confirmed half an hour later when Sheriff Reese and Constable Judge arrived in Woodland They reported that they had been fol lowing a man up river as far as he turned west At the canal he left the county rood traveled Ifc a southwesterly direction toward th clump of trees on Willow slough They abandoned the pursuit for the night and bended for Wood hud when it became to dark they could cot follow the trill It U ported that this man enquired for the railroad saying that he wanted to at some point without Woodland Another Improbable ru mor is that he admitted to people he met en route that he la one of the es caped convicts This morning Sheriff Reese and the constable resumed the pursuit at an early hour Brown Deputy and Constable Parker drove out toward the Willow slough and old canal district Later Officer Tobias left going in the same direction At 3 oclock the Democrat was In formed by the sheriffs office In Sac that the
