driver reported that when within about
three miles Of Phoebe an individual
stepped out in the road, presented a gun
and commanded him to halt, which he
accordingly did. He was ordered TO
throw off the box, and under the per-
suasive arguments held out TO him, he
did that also. and was then allowed TO
drive on. The team appreciating the
feeling of the driver made good time and
came to town in short order. One pas
senger was aboard but he was not mo-
Tested. The driver could see no one but
the party who stopped the team although
there might have been more, the night
being very dark and it being hard to dis
tinguish objects on the road. We are
getting under the impression, in fact it
is being forced upon us, that this kind of
business ia becoming too frequent and
common. Some of these bold rascals
will be tripped up before long, and we
hope to see it occur very soon. w. E..
Griffin, agent Of Wells, Fargo & Co.. to.
gether with e. McAvoy, started for the
scene of the robbery last evening about
9 o'clock to see If they could recover the
box and papers.
SOCIETIES. hear of two societies
having recently been formed in Phoebe,
the first one formed being that of an or
dtarJsimiler s,...jve Americans, and
the latter in opposition to the same.
We know nothing except in gen.
eral way in regard to either. Some am
bilious individuals wanting distinction
in political circles are the originators of
both. These kind of political schemes
have been tried nany times in these
United States, and we are pleased to say
that they always failed, and that they
always will, for when the masses com.
menco to see that their leaders are trying
to use them rs tools, they are naturally
inclined to back water; and although
they do not betray the secrets of the or
CARNATIONS, they vote Just contrary to
what their leaders wish. Most of our
citizens are too intelligent to be led by
the nose any more for tho sake of bene-
fitting few politicians, who only have
their own interest at heart, and care but
little for their constituents, companions
or the members of the association to
which they belong. The sooner this kind
of business is exploded the better for all
concerned.
The CoURT HoUsE.-A visit to the
Courthouse yesterday revealed the
fact that since our notice in the RECORD
of Tuesday, the hall has been carefully
| swept and now looks rs neat as a new
pin. We understand that Bob Wilson
was the artist. Deputy Sheriff Birdsal
is improving and for the last two days
has been able to move around the
| Courthouse without much trouble
Andy Fife, tho sheriff, is rustling around
and looks as healthy as usual. Business
both in the Clerks and County Recor.
der's Office is nearly ct stand still
They are on hand most of the time
however, Micawber like. waiting fol-
something to turn up. There is NJ
change in regard to affairs in the county
Jail, the same prisoners being on hant
and being fed by the sheriff.
WINDY. Yesterday was windy and
terribly disagreeable day in Phoebe. Thu
streets having become in the last few
days rather dry and dusty, clouds of dus
were circulated by every gust of wind
The sun was overcast most of the day
and it pro missed fair to either rain o
snow, but our latest account from tn
weather clerk gives no account of an,
storm as yet. We have had a prett,
rough Winter in Phoebe, with plenty o
storming, and have also had about fou
days fine weather, and we are in hope
that the fine weather will last shor
time longer so that Phoebe can hav
quicker communication with the outsid,
world.
DULL.-It being very near the last o
the month we hear the general complain
from our merchants, of the dullness o
trade and we suppose with very goo'
reason, for we observe only a ligh
trade going on and very little beip
done by the job wagons, the store wagon
being generally idle. Yesterday, owin
to the windy weather, small number 0
persons were to be seen on the street
and amongst those there were none tina
were making purchases except at tn
meat shops. As the first of April'is ar
pfoaching We suppose times will b
livelier.
SETTLED. The attachment suit CON
menced before Justice Allen on Tuesda
morning last was settled by the defend
ant yesterday morning. Officers Pierc
and Eddy went to one of the valleys an
attached lot Of cattle. which were how
ever released on the settlement OF h
case.

! some time and discoursed some vel
J nice music.
PRoaREssINa.--The work of plaoir
the flooring in the Fashion Saloon
Y progressing rapidly. It is made of hea,
tongue and grooved lumber and whe
finished will be very substantial. TT
