His funeral will take place from the Congrégational church at two o’clock tomorrow. afternoon, Rev. J. Sims officiating: He was a brother-inlaw of Mrs. W. ©.

He identified M ’s photograph as that of the party he met. Various citizens and some of the officers to whom he talked sized him up as a fraud, despite his clever story, which however does not agree with that of Taunt: who claims-to have seen Moore Saturday evening near Grass;Valley. Waiter Lovelady says that as he was at Auburn yesterday he talked with former Deputy Sheriff McOord of Placer county, and McOord thinks that on Saturday. he saw Moore pass his blacksmith shop. 3 into his head to test the locks to see if they would withstand the regulation pull of six pounds. When he came to Moore’s gun he discovered that the lock had been filed and doctored so it was practically a hair-trigger lock. “You will have to'shoot with another gun,” said the Captain, “Then I wou’t shoot at all,” was the response. Captain Rapp detailed Sérgeant Hughson and privates Getchell (now Sheriff) and J. C. Dean to follow and arrest the deserter. They overtook him at Stumpf’s saloon on Broad street.

De La Montanya of San Francisco are here ep route to Pike City, Sierracounty. Mr. Dunlap is the general manager of a San Francisco company that proposes to re-open the Alaska quartz mine at. Pike City and Mr. De a Montayna is the . company’s attorney. It is the intention of the company to operate the machinery by electricity instead of by steam as in.years gone by, obtaining the current from the Yuba Power Company whose main line will run. within ten miles of the mine. The property is one ofthe most promising in this portion of the State. It has in years gone by produced much gold, but the expense of operating with steam power and the great amount of water to be raised from the shaft has stranded or discouraged several companies. Many contend that it will be necessary to drive along drain tunnel in order to insure the successful and profitable working ofthe mine, To be Buried Tomorrow Afternoon. At two o’clock yesterday morning Charles Lawr@éace Anderson, a native Illinois aged about 49 years, died at his home on the upper Grass Valley road of aneurism of the pulmonary artery.

In the Superior Court this morning the trial of the case of the Spence Mineral Company vs. Albert R. Herman and others was set for trial Thursday, April 27th. The hearing of the executor’s petition in the matter of the estate of W. H. Kruger, deceased, was continued till Wednesday at ten o’clock. The hearing in the matter of the estate of Mary O.

Hoe was there for assault with adeadly weapon and I for disturbing the peace.” Taunt did not know till yesterday morning that Kilroy had been killed. James H. English of the Pioneer Reduction Works was telling him about it and‘said Ed. Moore was the perpetrator. : : “What, Ed Moore of Nevada City ?” he asked. “Why he was here last evening.” Then he told Mr. English of the interview and Mr. English telephoned the news tothé Sheriff. Marshal Tompkins and Captain Nihbell started on the new trail without a moment’s delay. This morning they were at Spenceville and had not obtained the slightest clue. They were expected home this afternoon. The officers of Colfax and Auburn were notified and the Placer county Sheriff sent out men to scour the country to the north and see that the fugitive did not slip out of his bailwick in any direction. There are a good many people around here who take no stock in Taunt’s story, claiming he is not reliable. They will not accept any theory but the one that Moore is in hiding in the Banner mountain country. Sheriff Getchell is one of them. BR. P. Walker, night clerk at the. Union hotel, is another and he is organizing a posse of fifty or more young men, including many members of Company C, and if Moore is not flushed before will go to Banner tomorrow and make a thorough and systematic “drive,” the same as they round ap rabbits dow in Southern California, : Deputy Sheriff Waters got a splendid photograph of the murderer yesterday. It was taken some twenty years ago by Charles Ferrand. The subject. wore no mustache ; but Photographer Moore has made a lot ef copies with the mustachfe done in India ink, and they are perfect likenesses of Moore as he was when be fled. Sheriff Getchell is having them sent all over the country. It is generally .believed that Moore bought a large bill of gruceries and provisions about a week before the killing; and as none were found about his cabin Friday after he skipped it is argued that he must have removed them before the night of the shooting to some rendezvous where he is now in _Auditor’s, Treasurer’s and County Phy-. middle of January he bought a supply :Sician’s reports were read and ap-. at Wolf’s store amounting to less than wroved. ; ‘ _ During the forenoon the following Wills were allowed: : M.

LAID TO REST, Every flag.in the city was at half mast and most of the bells tolled a sad requiem as William Kilroy’s obsequies were in progress yesterday afternoon.

W., the city officers and policemen of this city and Grass Valley and a delegation of county officers. St. Cunice chureh did not begin to hold the people. Rev. Father Clyne made seme forceful and pointed remarks over the remains, and his werds will strike a respensive chord in every good citizen’s heart. He said among other things: “When William Kilroy’s epitaph is written it will be, ‘He did his duty.’ He understood what his duty as a peace officer was, and because he had the courage to perform it he excited the animosity of the rogues and hoodInms of the city tillone of them mur‘<Every. morning I have a bad taste in my mouth; my tongue is coated; my head aches and I often feel dizzy.
