MA1L RoBBEnY AND MURprR,
STREET CARS RAIDED.
Bold Attempt of Tramps to Capture the
Ticket Boxes.

Ticket Boxes.
For pure, unauthorized boldness amp
desperation, the prize can be awarded to the
two tramps who won the laurel, last night
as follows: The street cars waited until
Oglesby's Troubadors strained forth theil
last strain, and then filled up with passen-
gennGor home No report to the contrary,
the up town passengers and the Wabashaw
street fares got to their homes safely. Not
so with the down town folks. AT
or near the corner of Locust and Seventh
streets, just where the track turns off the
latter named street, the interruption to a
safe Journey came. It came in the bulky
form of two tramps. They jumped aboard
Car just as it slackened speed on the
curve, and entered. Both had their
hats well pulled down, SO as to half
conceal their countenance. When they
first got on, they attracted no particular
attention, nor did they when they went for
ward in the car, it being supposed they in
tended to pay their fare. Getting up to the
door every passenger was suddenly startled,
Nthe door was pushed back with vigorous
clatter and the driver was seized by one cf
the men. While the driver was in the grasp
of one of the men the other grabbed the
money box and jumped from the
car. The driver struggled desperately with
the man holding him, and in the meanwhile
had stopped the car. So soon as the des-
perado in the car saw his comrade
safely on the ground he released
the driver and jumped of. the driver, Henry
Lapham by name, after him. AS the two
rufians nearea the sidewalk, the one having
the money box fell and dropped it. 1t was
caught on the rebound by the driver
All this time the three male pas
sengers had bestirred themselves, and
to such purpose that Ethe two
tramps believed discretion the better part
of valor, and withdrew without attempting
to recover the money-box. The above
desperate act would seem enough to satisfy
even foolhardy thief. But it didn't satisfy
these two desperadoes. They wanted money,
and meant to have it, and to get the needful,
they supplemented this first attack by two 9TH
ere. There were four cars which left Wabashaw
street for lower town at 1915 o'clock, and
this first attempt was repeated on two 9TH
ers. The second trial was made near st.
Mary's church, on down-going car. The
same fellows got aboard, went forward,
pulled open the door-bat the driver for
some reason was not attacked. The third
attempt took place on the up coming Car,
near Woodward street But by this time
the alarm had been communicated to
all the drivers on the line down
town, and when the two robbers put
foot on this last car, they were recognized
and peremptorily ordered off. Seeing their
game was hopeless they abandoned any fur
ther effort. The drivers could make no re-
port of it to the police because they couldn't
leave their teams, and why the passengers
were 50 derelict in their duty is unaccounta-
ble. But when the drivers got together in
the car barn back of the GLOBE Office, they
were loudly excited over the business,

The Kind of Men Wanted.

mines, accompanied by Jos. Mallon,
the wealthy Virginia groceryman,
passed through town last Friday, on
their way to Como, where they re-
NAMED over night, retsrning late the
next day. They are interested in an
extension of the Whitman, which is
one of the very best claims in Como.
and took several samples which they
are having assayed. II the assays
prove sufficiently encouraging, they
will put force of men at work on
their claim at once. These gentle
men are of the kind most needed O..
Como at present. They are substan-
tial business men, aud, if their faith
is once enlisted IN the district, will
expend their own money in develop
ing il, and ask no odds of anybody.
They will do the district more good
than a thousand blood-suckers who
fasten upon claims with no other in
tention in the world than to de.
ceive capitalists into buying them.

THE SOUTH COMSTOCK.

This Promising Property to be
Opened Up in a Systematic Man.
ner.
Robert Sherwood, r. P. Heating,
and Sam Williams, of San Francisco,
visited the South Comstock mine, last
Sunday, in company with Superin-
tendeut Bonynge. They found the
machinery in good order, and ready
to be started up at a few hours
notice. Mr.. Sherwood informed a
TIMES reporter that work would be
resumed at the mine very soon. The
company had been asked to lease the
mine to a party who offered roy
atty on every ton extracted, but they
preferred to develop it themselves in
a systematic way. They would not
put very large force on at first, but
if the prospects justified it, the
force would be increased. There are
two welldefned lodges in the South
COmstOck.

Washburn's Sentence.

Simon Washburn was called up
before Judge Seawell, about 8 o'clock
last Saturday evening, and sentenced
to pay the costs, which amount to
$3.50. As he failed to do SO, he was
committed to jail. Friends have Of
fercd to pay his fine, but Washburn
prefers to serve out his sentence, be-
cause he sees no prospect of getting
job, and thus liquidating the in
debtedness into which the trial has
involved him. According to the
usual way of computing imprison-
ment for fines, Washburn would have
to serve 1870 days, but by working on
the public highways he will be re.
mitted two days imprisonment fol-
every working day, SO that in three
months he will be clear.

Last Saturday morning William
Vance, manager Of Elders business,

He was carried into the Stone House,

eide of his face were found to be
somewhat bruised. Mr.. Vance Is
