A Footpad's Daring Robbery Of a
Stage.
[From the Bakersfield, Cal, Gazette.l

[From the Bakersfield, CAL, Gazette
Last Saturday night, as the Los An
geles stage was approaching Caliente,
II was stopped by a iootpad, who pre-
sented arms and demanded Wells, Far
60 q Co.'s treasure box, which was
handed him, and he secured about $1,000
in money Last Monday night the stable
| OF MIR. Fountain, in Caliente, was broken
open and a valuable horse stolen. Tues
day morning j. b. Fountain, a son OF the
owner of the horse, came down t0 Ba-
kersfield and reported the facts at the
Sheriff office, and that afternoon Dep
uty sheriff Mahurin started out to hunt
| up the thief, If possible.
He soon got on the track of the horse,
whose foot was somewhat peculiar in
shape, and followed it. Wednesday
morning he ascertained that the rider
staid at sheep-camp the night before.
| He passed on, and, in the afternoon,
came n sight OF his man. About four
O'Clock III the afternoon ne came upon
the robber, and, alter moving on him
strategically for q short time, succeeded
in capturing him withouL difficulty.
The fellow saw the officer and his COM
panion some distance behind him, and
pushed ahead to reach an old abode
where he intended to make a stand, but
the officer surmising his intention, hur-
ried forward and overlook him. The
thief was thrown off his guard by the
officer making inquiry about some pre-
tended criminal tnat he proiessed to be
| in search Of, and he covered him with
| his pistol before he was aware of it,
when he threw up his hands and dis
mounted without Offering the slightest
resistance. On being searched a small
three-inch barrel Ballard derringer was
the only weapon found upon him.
| Secreted in his clothes in various
places the officer found $1,29A 30, as fol-
lows: 500 50 in greenbacks, SO in gold
| notes, $685. Is gold and silver coin, and
$l3 So in loose change. Between $50 and
$9V in silver was Tied behind his saddle.
The money was found put up in pack.
ages just as 1t LETT the express office. and
the greenbacks were wrapped in a Los
Angeles newspaper. This clearly fixes
the robbery OF the Los Angeles stage,
last Saturday night, upon this man,
whose name he gives as Robert Kirkland.
| The fellow has a broken leg, caused
by stepping over Tunnel No. A. on the s.
r. railroad, and it is really astonishing
that in his condition be could do the
work he did. When it Is considered thai
the stage was robbed by q man with Q
broken leg and with little pocket, sin
gle-barreled pistol, it becomes ludicrous
Officer Manurin brought his man to Ba
kersfield Wednesday evening, 9 dis
lance of thlrty-four miles, aud lodget
him in jail. The capture was made a
Comancne Pass, near the old TETON Res
ervation.

THURSDAY... ........ DECEMBER %

NEW YORK piano dealers and piano
renters were thrown into a state Of ex-
citement by q purported decision
that rented pianos were liable to be
seized for the debts Of persons hiring
them. The dealers had meeting, and
there was evidently much trembling for
the fate of the thousands of hired pi-
amos scattered over the city. After a
good deal of alarm on the part OF the
dealers, and no little anxiety on the
part Of the daughters of music who make
whole neighborhoods hideous by thump-
ing hired pianos, it turned out that there
was nothing terrible in the decision after
all. The Judge decided that the owner
OF piano could rent it to another just as
could the owner of cart or o boat and
the right of property still remained in
the owner. That piano could be
sold and chattel mortgage taken on it,
just as on any other piece OF personal
property, and the mortgage would be
n lien on the instrument to the extent OF
his claim. But as in the case which was
tried where dealer sold piano and
received part payment, and took no
mortgage, the purchaser could not
afterwards change the transaction
from a sssale" to s1et," to the
detriment of the third party,
who had in the mean time levied an ex-
ecution on the instrument. The piano
having been sold became the property
Of the purchaser, and the dealer for his
balance having secured no lien in the
shape OF mortgage took his chances
with other creditors. 1t was clear
enough that the piano could not again
become the property OF the dealer with
out being sold back to him, and when
thus sold the property would be subject
to the lien that had accrued against
it while it belonged to. the first
purchaser. There was nothing unusual
or startling in the decision, and the ex-
citement was without foundation. The
Judge, in deciding the case, commented
severely ON some phases of the system,
but there was nothing either in his de-
cision or his remarks to excite alarm or
Indignation, and the persons that let in
instruments and those that thump them
are again serene.

THE proposition to give members of
the Cabinet seats on the floor of Con-
gress, and allow them to participate in
the debates is not new one. 1t has
been made many times before-once by
Mr.. Pendleton during his last term of
Congress. 1t would have the advantage
of often giving Congress needed intor-
nation in more speedy and satisfactory
manner than is now possible. When a
matter pertaining to the Post-ofice
Department was under consideration,
the Postmaster General could be on
hand to explain the course he had taken
or proposed to take, the results he ex-
pected from certain legislation, and how
similar measures had affected his de-
partment in the past. He could oppose
or support as seemed best, and Congress
would have the benefit OF his experience
and greater knowledge OF the subject
to assist in shaping the legislation for
his department. And so with all the
other members of the Cabinet. The OBJ.
lection urged is that Cabinet officer on
the floor without vote would be merely
ornamental, and that it would not of
course be proper in deliberatiye body
to give an appointee of the executive the
power of a vote. The further consider
alton that it would be assimilating our
form Of government still more to that Of
Great Britain is urged with much force
among a certain class as an objection.
