PLUCK AND GOOD AIM.

A Colorado paper tells the story OF
Steve Venard's fight with three robbers
in 1866. A stage coming into Nevada,
Col, had been robbed of the treasure
box by three men. A party set out for
its recovery. Venard, armed with a
Henry rifle, followed the trail alone into
one of the widest spots in that wild and
rugged region. The hills hung steep
above. The waters of ravine came
tumbling down its steep bed of powders
with a rush and noise which rendered no
sounds audible Venard attempted to
cross the stream at the head of the fall.
He walked on q short log to q rock.
Above him rose the huge mass of granite,
buttressed in front by two smaller rocks.
Between the latter was an alley up which
his position enabled him to look. At
the base of the great rock Venard dis
covered the leader of the gang sitting on
the ground drawing his revolver. Venard
levelled bis rifle upon the robher, twenty
feet distant At the same moment he

over the edge of the rock. There was
no time to change his aim. He fired;
the leader fell back shot through the
heart. The other robber attempted to
shield himself further behind rock,
leaving the point of his pistol exposed
over the top. Venard covered the spot
with his unerring rife, and when the
head of the robber peared above the
rock his brain was pierced with bullet
There was yet another, but he was not
to be seen. His pistol might at that
moment be pointing at Venara. The
latter clambered up to beard him in his
den. He found the treasure, took the
pistols from The dead, covered quickly
the former with earth and leaves, and
proceeded to hunt the missing robber,
He found him running up the mountain
sixty yards Or more ahead. Venard fired
and the robber fell. Another bullet and
the last robber rolled down the hill
dead.

EXERCISING A LAZY HUSBAND

Americus GA Republican: A gentle
man of the new Twenty-sixth District, of
this county, informs US that on last Sat
urday, as he was riding through the
country, he witnes sed the most novel
sight of bis life. 1t was nothing more
nor less than white lady plowing, her
husband acting as the horse, mule OF
steer, as the case may be. He was regu.
larly harnessed, and dragging the pillow
as complacently as an OK. The gentle
man spoke to the woman about her team.
and she replied that ''this was the only
way she could get any work out OF Elan
and she would make him do what she
could" The plowed ground was vel
broken up, and showed that the woman
was expert in the use of the plow, and
the man can be horse when he will.

A COOL CASHIER.

PTTTsBURG, Pa, April 30.-A bold but
unsuccessful attempt was made at noon
to-day to rob the Working Mems Savings
Bank on Ohio street, Allegheny. The
bookkeeper OF the bank had gone to din
ner, leaving the cashier, Geo. G. Walker.
alone. Two men entered the bank and
one Of them advancing to the rear ooun-
ter asked for silver for dollar bill.
When the cashier advanced with the
change in his hand he was confronted
with a cooked revolver and told to make
no noise or he would be shot. Dropping
the silver Walker seized the revolver and
succeeded in wrenching it from his as
sailant, who then clambered up and got
on the counter and was reaching for the
money on the counter when Walker open
ed fire on him, firing two shots at hnc,
also two at the other robhar, who, in the
mean time, had climbed over the front
counter, and was advancing to the rescue.
The strangers, dismayed by their warlike
reception, then turned toward the door
and fed and have not yet been arrested.
The officers OF the bank say they sus-
tanned no loss.
Later developments in the assault on
the Workingmen's Savings Bank to-day
are that the thieves succeeded in carving
off twenty three hundred dollars, but in
their hurried flight dropped package
containing seven hundred dollars, which
was picked up on The street and returned
to the bank officers. The thieves on
leaving the bank made for the river and
succeeded in getting over to this side
whore the clue to their whereabouts was
lost

THE PISTOL.

CHICAGO, May Mrs. Adelaide Rob-
ert shot Theodore B. Weber, prominent
citizen, yesterday afternoon, at the Office
of Juessen & Anderson, during an exam
ination in an action brought by Mrs.
Robert against Weber to recover money
due by an agreement for expenses in
rearing boy, said to have been the un.
lawful issue of said Weber and Mrs
Robert.
The Tribune to-day says: "The facts
as to the shooting are, in brief, as fol-
lows: About half past 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon there were present in the
Office of Juessen & Anderson, room q,
Times building, Col Ed. Juessen, Theo-
dore Weber, detective belonging to
Pinkerton's agency, Mr.. B. NJ. Shaffner,
the attorney, and Mrs. Adelaide Robert.
Weber was formerly partner with his
brother, Geo. Weber, in the wholesale
boot and shoe business, and has lately
acquired some notoriety in connection
with the Greenebaum National Bank in
vestigation. Mr.. Shafner was Just en-
tering the room when Mrs. Robert, who
was standing Immediately opposite Web
er, drew pistol from her pocket and
fired point blank at him. Weber was
seated in a large easy-chair and the bull
let entered his abdomen. The shooting
was done so quietly that none of those
present had time to anticipate or prevent
it. In an instant all was confusion.
The detective grabbed the woman, Col.
Juessen ran out for doctor, and Mr..
Weber fell back III his chair mortally
wounded. The woman was taken to the
armory police station, and Mr.. Weber
was conveyed to his home, No. 274 North
La Sale street, where be lies in dying
condition, it being doubtful whether he
will live through to-day"
The usual evidences of insanity are
showing themselves. Mrs. Robert now
expresses great sorrow for the act. The
boy who is the innocent cause Of the
tragedy was drowned in 1876.
Weber denies the accusations and Col.
Edmund Juessen, who has acted as his
lawyer, claims the woman is black.

RAN INTO i TRAIN.

CEoINATrI, May IA passenger train
north on the Whitewater Valley railroad
yesterday, when near Brooksville, Ind,
ran into a wagon containing Henry
Strawmeier, wife, and daughter, aged 20,
and young son. The wagon, after be-
ing carried a hundred and fifty yards
was thrown beside the track, complete
wreck. Mrs. Strawmeier was injured In
ternally, supposed fatally, and the daugh.
ter was found covered with blood, with 8
piece Of wood driven into her flesh. She
viii probably die. The father and sor
received sligh. injuries.

washed ashore, and it is said that few
days after the wreck the father of VIII
liam Marshall, the Lieutenant Comman-
der Of the post at Lewes during the war
of 1912, and several others, secured
enough of the precious metal to make
them rich for the time being. This
came ashore on fragments of the ship,
and was picked up on the most seaward
point of Cape Henlopen.
But this wreck is not the only one that
has brought the party here. Sometime
between the revolution and the war of
1912, an American brig bound from Liy-
erpool to Baltimore, with specie on board,
was wrecked upon shoal lying out from
Synepuxette Beach, and there was beat
ell to pieces by the heavy surf. A gold
laden Spanish vessel was also wrecked
upon the Hen and Chicken Shoals, just
off the beach south of the cape. This is
one OF the most treacherous and fatal
beaches upon the whole Atlantic coast.
More wrecks have occurred here than
upon any similar extent of shore with
which the United States Life saving
Service have anything to do. Upon This
beach where so often have beer found
the corpses of unfortunate mariners, gold
and silver coin has been washed up by
the waves. No later than last fall, after
the terrific storm in October, two pieces
of gold coin and a Spanish dollar were
found neaE the edge of the surf. This,
more than anything else, has led the
party already alluded to. to think there
is some likelihood of the recovery of a
quantity OF the lost treasure.

HE WAS A PREACHER.

New LONDON, Wis, April 3O.-The
excitement over the mysterious disap-
pearanco of J. o. Morrison, principal of
the high school in this city, has very
generally died out and Indignation has
taken its place. The fact is, Morrison
has jumped the town, leaving his wife,
four children, and debts amounting to
about $1,000, including $4O0 to merchants
and others in this city. Previous to Sc
curing employment here he was for four
years superintendent of schools for Por-
tage county, and for time taught school
at Amherst. At the latter place he ran
in debt to considerable extent. Two
days before he disappeared one of the
Amherst merchants gave him week in
which to liquidate an indebtedness of
500. Other creditors were crowdinr
him. At the close of his school last
Wednesday. Morrison took his gun and
said he was going to hunt ducks. With
out delay he made tracks for Weyauwe-
ga, distance Of twelve miles, reaching
there just as the evening train on the
Wisconsin Central left the depot for
Milwaukee. He was seen to board the
train. 1t has been learned within day
or two that he expressed a package of
clothing to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and it is
believed that he stopped there long
enough to secure them and then went ON
his way to Leadville or the Black Hills.
His wife and children have gone to her
fathers, respected resident of Ployer.
Morrison was at one time an active local
preacher in Portage county, but became
back slider some years ago and is now
Bob Ingersoll relgionist.
