The lesson of the Train Robbery.

The San Francisco Post very proper
" remarks: A question of immense
Importance to the travelling public sug-
gests itself by the train robbery at Big
Springs, Nebraska. The robbery was
Well planned and successfully executed.
The only thing in the shape of failure,
so to speak, on the part of the robbers.
was their neglect to secure a large sum
in greeubacks which they overlooked in
their haste. And so faras we can form
an opinion. It seems probable that the
same gang, or another equally well or
gained, may repeat tho exploit time
and again. The railroad companies
dispatch their trains, containing
passengers and treasure, without suf-
fcient guard to protect life and proper
ty, and so long as they are not held
pecuniarily responsible for loss and
damages o%ccasioncd by robbers, the
travelling public must continue to have
their lives and property placed in daily
jeopardy. The solution of the whole
question Is n simple one. Let railroad
corporations be held %pecuniarily res
ponsiLle, and the era Of railroad robber-
les is at amend. Wells, Fargo ~ Co. are
responsible for every dollar lost-why
not also the railroad corporations? n
hotel keeper is bound to make good
losses by thGfts in his house under
certain conditions, and why should rail
roads, which are rs much the home of
travellers rs hotels, he wholly exempt:
We see no reason whatever. Their
franchises give railroad corporations Il
monopoly Of the leading routes of
travel. Tie public have no alternative.
They must travel on their roads, at
railroad prices, bound to conform
strictly to railroad regulations, and to
surrender, for the time being, their
personal freedom of action. The pub
lie do all this at their own risk, SO far
as robbers are concerned, the RAILROAD
companies all the while inviting attack
10y running their trains with so few
men that they are barely able to look
after the locomotion and check fares
in the interest of the corporations.
The only rights the public appear to
have are the right TO pay and the right
to suffer. Now, this arrangement is 50
manifcstly ono-sided that we feel con
WINGED it will be changed bylegislation.
The travelling public have II right to
demand protection of person and prop
erty against assault or attack upon
the cars or in the railroad depots, and
the sooner that position is indefensihly
established by law the better.

4 Black Hills Adventure.
CUSTER CITY, Dc


\ few days ago a man named Mont
gomery Smith, mailing from st. Louis,
had two singular and narrow escapes
rolled into one. He left q camp about
two miles up the HIS to bring letters
here to post, and in trying to shorten
the distance a little lie lost the regular
trail and struck Il bad bit. of country.
While hunting for the trail he came
across fresh signs of Indians. and while
hurrying out of the neighborhopl he
ran directly upon a large brown bear
which was sleeping on the sunny side
of a thicket. The thicket vas N q
side hill, and Smith vas going at q
good pace when he turned the clump.
The bear was So near when the man
caught sight of him that there WAS
neither time to halt nor chance to turn
out, and bruin was cleared hy flying
leap. He made Il stroke at Smith as he
went over, inficting u slight scratch ON
one leg, and then set off after the
miner with the intention OF eating him
for dinner. The flight lei over broken
ground, up aud down a ridge, and then
along the base of q broken ledge.
Knowing that the bear would Don
overtake him, Smith had his eyes peeled
for some place of refuge, and he found
a good one. Close to the ground WIS a
rift in the ledge made by part Of the
rocks settling down or crumbling away,
and the bear was not Il hundred feet in
his rear. There was no TIME to guess
whether the creyice was big enough to
admit the man, and too small to let the
bear in after him, or so small that the
victim would there be oyertaken and
devoured. He had dropped his gun to
aid his flight, and running at full speed
he made n dive and went into the
creyice head first, raking enough hide
of his shoulders and back to make n
pair of baby shoes. The bear wasn't
ten seconds behind him, and rs Smith
reached the back end of the cave,
which was not over Six feet deep, the
bear put its head into its mouth and
tried TO work in his body. This he
couldn't do. owing to his stout should
ers, but for a quarter Of an hour Mont
gomery Smith was doubtless the worst
frightened man in North America.
There was room enough for him to
turn around in, but he was compelled
TO lie at full length and look into the
fiery eyes of a bear which could get
