(Finishing up file on August 1885)
white men could not scrape together in a day enough gold to pay
such wages as white men must have to live and feed their wives
and babies. We say, any work that will not pay white men's wges
had better be left undone. Keep the Chinamen out of the gravel
mines or else shut those mines down. Our county can in some way
manage to get along without gold Mining if the industry is not

Shortly after dark Sheriff Stewart of Sierra County accompanied
by A. J. MCGuire and John Meyers, arrived in N.C. en route to
State Prison with Louis Stultz and Al Phillips convicted at

9 December and sentenced to life terms in the penitentiary.
The part//left Downieville at 9 in the Morning in a light wagon
and came without adventure till they reached Wells' ranch 8 miles
from N.C. where they stopped for dinner. The irons were removed
from the prisoners to allow them to eat more comfortably. When
the meal was about finished Stultz on some pretense walked
leisurely to the door and upon reaching it made a sudden dash for
liberty. He bounded into the chapparal and although the officer
and his assistants followed as quickly as they could spring to
their feet and draw their weapons, Stultz was not to be seen.
Phillips made no attempt to get away during the excitement
although there was nothing tc prevent him. After an hour's
search, Stewart came upon Stultz. crouching in some dense
undergrowth. The fugitive started to run again but seeing the
officer's pistol leveled at his head he fell upon his knees and
begged for his life. he later said he was so weak and stiff from
long confinement in jail that after running to the spot where he
was recaptured--opnly 200 yards from the Starting point--he fell
exhausted and couldn't go further.There was no chance. so
despearte I would not have take it. Most anyhing is better than
a lifetime in prison.
