The Highway Robbery Near Aledo.-.
Full Particulars.
(From the Aledo Banner.)

kfFOm the AieQO bdnnef.)
On last Wednesday night daring and
successful highway robbery took place.
about three miles south of this place.
Jared Irwin, of Abingdon township, had
been on that day IN Aledo, ard collected
$1,000 of money due him. Business de-
tanned him here until nearly sunset He
then set out for home, riding horse that
was blind on the right side. When in a
lane, some distance below Robert Candor' g
house, he suddenly found violent hands on
him from behind, and at the next moment
be was on his back in the road. He made
some efforts 10 release himself, and sue
ceeded in tearing mask from the face OF
bis assailant. But by some unaccountable
means, be failed to remember any more OF
the conflict, until after the robber had Ia
ken the $1,000 and some notes, and had
gone. Some bruises were found on the
back of his neck, and 10 his face; but none
seemingly sufficient to stun him more than
temporarily. Before the thief got off,
a young man named Davis was looking
for COW, aud on approaching the
place saw man standing by a horse,
on the road side, and heard some noise
like the handling Of coin. As he advanced,
TIC lobOCA nOuutC0 tuG lOtOCs WAkSu dltCk
wards proved to be Twins and rode away.
Davis then found Irwin lying near by, and
procured assistance, aud removed him TO
the house of neighbor. where he soon re-
covered. 1t was found that Twins pocket
had been cut by number of slashes. and
the money got out by that meanss No
person has been named as being suspected
of having done the deed. But the theory
generally accepted is that some one in
Aledo. or elsewhere, knew Irwin business
here. and that he would pass that way
home; and that he accordingly posted him
self on his own chosen ground, and waited
for his victim. There were signs and in
locations on the ground, that he had con-
cealed himself in or behind hedge. on the
right side of the road, which accidentally,
or by his knowledge gave him advantage oil
the bind side of the horse. From this
ambush be might spring out as soon as
the horse had passed and rushing forward
might jerk the rider backwards to the
ground, too much stunned for immediate
resistance. Vigorous search ia being made,
but no clue has yet been obtained.

orvil Grant. Plea for his Brother.


MIR. Orvil L. Grant, being interviewed
by a reporter of the Boston Post,
brought forward several arguments in ad-
advocacy OF his brother Ulysses s. Grant
denomination, which, if not convincing, are
somewhat novel and entertaining. One
was that if Gen. Grant should be re-
elected, Mcdonald. Joyce, aud those fell
lows" would be left to go TO the DEVIL
Lie hardly seems worth while to elect a
particular man President of the United
States for this purpose. as there are men
pretty certaiu'to go 10 that direction any
how, judging from their past history. II
Orvil Grant could propose anything that
would prevent their going 40 the devil, y
it would partake so much of the nature
of the miraculous as to be worth consider
| ing.
Grant, as his brother Orvil says, now
sees Babcock 'in bis true light" What
does it say for his astuteness and peDetra
ton that it took him eight years to find
out such patent scoundrel2
| liz would he no advantage TO have
Bsbeock discarded il Grant were to be
President again. A man so blind that be
could not see through Babcock would
probably displaee him only to substitute
some other equally unprinciplsd creature.
If Grant were again President and all
his old intimate associates were set adrlft,
it stands to reason. aud is in accordance
with the laws of human nature, that he
would surround himself with a new sci
equally bad. Can the Ethiopian change
his skin, or the leopard his spots" Grant
would continue to be Grant; and the men
around him, even if bearing different
names, would be like the miserable crew
he has heretofore had.
Brother Orvil's plea will not don. y

Indian Frauds.

DR.. Livingston, of Grow Creek, is con-
demncd by overwhelming testimony, as
he was taken unawares, and has no op-
portunity to remove the evidence of his
guilt. His stealing began in 1870 when
first appointed through the influence OF
the Episcopal Church, as the agent of the
combined Grow Creek and Lower Butte
agencies, numbering 5000. He has ae-
cumulated a fortune, acquired aainterest
in three Nevada silver mines, and owns
two cattle raaches and cattle which were
regularly supplied with food and veget-
abes from the agency. He and his part
ners forced the agcncy-employees, who
were very ignorant men, to board there,
He utilized the Government blacksmith
shop and material for private gain, fed
government stock at the government
crib, sold goveg99ment wood to ns steam a3ns
Indian annuities were stolen and sold.
The ring would charge the Government
with hay, and wood, which the Indians
were compelled to put up in order to
get their annuities and rations, and then
sell this hay and wood u second time to
steamboats,, military posts a3d bull
whackers. The proceeds from crops
raised on the agencies were not account,
ed for, the traders warehouse was stock
ed from the government warehouse, and
the provisions sold to the indians. Ra-
tons and annuities We're drawn for, 81
600 more Indians than there were at the
agency. Congress appropriated Sl7o,-
900 for this agency, during Livingston s
administration, and he stole all he could.
His ignorant employees, glad to get ia
tons, would issue vouchers, OF which
$50 have already been discovered, rang
ing from $50 to 81, 800 each. Livings-
ton was, says the commissioner, pious
fraud, guilty of every crime against Off
cial honor and business integrity.
The neighborng agents and traders
are in the same condition as to dishones-
ty, except that they have been generally
notified of y coming storm, and have put
their houses in good order. The returns
OF agents as to goods on hand arc almost
invariably false, forgeries and perjury
being of nearly every day occurrence,

ming.

The Northwestern Railroad.

Bro. Donan OF tho Bcntonvillc Adj
vance, in his paper of the 18th, talks
ihusly of the prospects Of this railroad.
| Our friends over the mountain should
recollect that railroads are not projected
and built in day. The citizens of Van
Buren talked and worked long years be-
fore the building of the Little Rock
road was completed:
"It is strange how conflicting are all
the statements that come to lis in regard
to this project. All. Wilson, of Fayette-
vile, is always hearing that it is coming
right along, hundreds of hands and doz
ems of teams ut work, miles Of track
graded, money all raised, everything
lovely, and the goose hanging high.
Others hear that there are onl y about
twenty or thirty hands at work with n
few picks and whoelbarrows, that con
tractor McCarty has lost faith, and Gen.
Meyer has almost concluded TO abandon
the whole thing. One report says every
body is boiling over with confidence and
enthusiasm another says nobody be-
lieves in the road, or the mon who have
it in hand. One Pcirce City paper is
perpetually huzzahing and singing up
its hat, while it assures the hopeople ofour
region, what is impossible, under any
circumstances that the cars will be here
by fall the other is guarded, cautious,
and apparently dubious Of the success of
the enterprise. We have no reliable in
formation as To tho status OF the project,
and, amid the mass Of contradictions,
each person interested may believe what
ever he chooses. One thing is certain );
the road is desperate necessity to our
region and people, and we are in favor
Of giving all reasonable aid to secure It's
or of hanging the men who
have charge of ii, if it turns out they
bavo only been deeciving' us, and keep
ing out another company that really
wished to build u road.
