sack was robbed. The pony rider left
Mineral Park, Arizona, on the above
date, with the mail for Phoebe. After
proceeding few miles the rider returned
to Mineral Park, and informed the Post.
master that be had been stopped by two
men and the mailbag cut open and
robbed. Col. Jennings was at Mineral
Park at the time, and he and another
man went in pursuit of the robbers.
They GOT on the trail of two horse-thieves
from Utah, who we're supposed to have
committed the robbery, but were unable
to overtake them. On Col. Jennings re.
turn to Mineral Park the mail-rider
could not be found, then the old man
began to smell mouse, and posse was
sent in hot pursuit of the fleeing mail
rider, but at last accounts he was still at
large. 1t appears that the rider had
heard the Postmaster and Col. Jennings
talking OF sending some money through
the mail. and the rider concluded to
make little extra, but fortunately the
money was not sent that trip, and there
were no valuable letters in the bag.
The RAcE.--.The race came off at Pa.
naca Nav Years Day, track having
been cleared OF snow for the occasion.
and as usual. the Mormons again hogged
the Gentiles coin. There were no cry of
throwing the race this time, for the
Mormon horse would run around the
Pahranagat charger, and at times let him
get several hundreds ahead, and then
easily glide by him. It was just fun
fer the Mormon horse. The brethren
have won all the races for the last three
years, and when looked at from religious
standpoint, goes to prove that the Lord
favors Mormonism, and the more we
hug and kiss the buxom Norman lasses,
stronger does the conviction grow within
US that polyeamy is the correct thing.

vada Central engines started from town

were obliged to return to Delmois, not
getting back to Phoebe until o'clock
Monday night.
