Stage RObbing.

Mrs. Pratt, says the Sacramento
Record Union, wife of Superintendent
r. II. Pratt, who arrived home yester-
day from Sierra Valley, in addition to
the mountain air, had, while travelling
in stage between Randolph and
Truckee, the enjoyable and impressive
experience of capture by stage rob-
Der. There were three men, two la
dies, and two children in the party be-
sides the driver, who was taking in the
mountain scenery and expatiating upon
the climate, when n masked man, dec
Grated with a double barreled shotgun,
which was at full cock, and with a
aword-bayonet attached at the muzzle,
a revolver, and Ratchet, stepped out
from behind a tree standing by the
track and demanded the driver to halt.
His persuasive command was obeyed,
when he told the driver to throw out
the express box and open it. The
driver replied that he couldn't as it
was chained down and locked. This
was "too thin" for the party just then
in command, and with show of COM
polling obedience in summary man.
ner the driver got the box out. The
robber directed the inmates of the
stage to get out and stand on the other
side of the road, which they did. The
driver then, under instructions, broke
large rock upon the treasure box in
trying to break it open, but not sue
ceeding the robber threw his Ratchet
to him, and after considerable effort
with this he succeeded in getting it
open. The robber then directed that
he should bring the box under tree
by the roadside, which he did, and then
returned, under orders minutely given,
to the stage. The robber then coolly
but cautiously laid down his gun by
the side of the box, and getting down
upon his knees took out what coin
there was ard went through the letters
and papers with the utmost GOODNESS
and deliberation, not appearing to be
in the least hurry. Coming across two
Chinese checks, he swore in a foreign
dialect, and said "These checks | can
make no account Of" Having distracted
1912 in coin and papers, he kindly re-
placed in the box all the papers and
articles he did not want, and permitted
the driver to take it into custody again
and the passengers to resume their
places in the stage. He then said po-
litely, Good evening to you ALL" and
ordered the driver to drive on, while
he left the road and passed over the
hill, stopping to see that the stage
passed quietly along without instituting
measures looking to his apprehension.
The passengers were not molested as
to their valuables, which was fortunate,
as there were a number of fine gold
watches in the party, besides several
hundred dollars in money.

The True Tale Of William Tell.
From the Laramie City Boomerang.

William Tell ran ranch near Ber-
gerlen about $50 years ago. Tell had
lived in the mountains all his life, and
shot channels and chipnlunks with a
cross-gun till he was bad man to stir
up. At that time Switzerland was run
principally by lot of carpet-baggers
from Austria, and Tell got down on
them about the year 1907. 1t seems
that Tell wanted the government con-
tract to furnish hay at $45 a ton for the
year 1906, and Gessler, who was con-
trolling the patronage of Switzerland,
let the contract to an Austrian who had
a big lot of condemned hay further up
the gulch. One day Gessler put his
plug hat up telegraph pole, and is
sued Order 236, regular series, to the
effect that every snoozer who passed
down the toll road should bow to it.
Gessler happened to be in behind
the bush when Tell went by, and he
noticed that Bill said "Shoot the hat, "
and didn't salute it; so he told his men
to gather Mr.. Tell in and put him in
the refrigerator, Gessler told him that
if he would shoot crabapple from the
head of his only son at 200 yards with
a crossgun he would give him his lib
erty. Tell consented, and knocked the
apple higher than Gilroy's kite. Old
Gessler, however, noticed another ar
row sticking in Williams girdle, and
he asked what kind of howery break
that was. Tell told him that if he had
killed the kid instead of bursting the
apple he intended to drill a hole
through the stomach of Mr.. Gessler.
This made Gessler mad again, and he
took Tell on picnic up the river in
irons. Tell jumped oft when he got a
good chance and cut across bend in
the river, and when the picnic party
came down he shot Gessler deader than
a mackerel.

A Sea.COw from South America.

The brig Swansea, from South Amer
lea to this port, brought as pratt of its
cargo veritable sea-cow, consigned to
William Brown, who has it on exhibi-
ton at the Fulton Market dock. The
fish measures five feet from the end of
the tip of the tail, and weighs one hun
dred pounds. Its most remarkable fea-
ture is the nose, which is in shape like
that of a yearling calf. 1t subsists en-
tirely on herbs, and was contentedly
munching the leaves of a cabbage last
evening. Having filled its nav, the
curious fish Eliminates like COW. It's
back and tail are of a dark-blue color,
somewhat resembling the blue fish.
Bright pink spots adorn the breast and
belly. The tail is formed like the fans
of a steamships propeller. 1t is in a
single piece and operates vertically.
The eyes are small and set close to the
nose. 1t generally keeps its body en-
tirely under the water with the excep-
ton Of its nose, and occasionally bel
lows like W. This is the first of the
species which has ever survived the
voyage to this country A similar one
was taken to London and sold for $3.50
to the Aquarium. The sea-cow lives in
fresh water. in the sense that it is not
salt, but Croton water is allowed to
stand three days in the sun before it is
placed in the fsh's tank. In this con-
dition it approximates more closely the
native element of the fish.--Neio York

of food with which to fatten them. IT,,
causes have operated to reduce tbo
number of stock hogs. The cola
weather during the early spring month";
have killed many young pigs in Iowa
and other western states. The bicb
price of pork during the summer
months induced farmers to dispose of
most of the hogs they had that were IN
a condition to be slaughtered. There
has been no unusual mortality amonc
hogs since the commencement of warm
weather. Cholera and some other dix.
eases are reported in few sections
but they have not been general in any
state. The condition of hogs is gen.
orally reported as poor for this season
of the year. Those that were in good
flesh have passed into the hands Of the
butchers. In Ohio and Indiana, where
hogs are generally kept in pasture dur.
ing the summer, a severe drouth has
prevailed for nearly two months. Asa
consequence. the grass and clover have
dried up, and in some places there is a
scarcity OF water. In these states farm.
ers are reluctant to feed corn to hogs
at present prices, as they think it viii
bring more money if sold on the ear
The reports appear to show that the
number of hogs IN the west is at least
% per cent. below the average at this
time Of year; that they are of small
size and in poor condition. The pros.
pect for heavy hogs that will yield
large amount of lard is exceedingly
poor In some of the best counties in
Illinois and Kansas many heavy hogs
will most likely be fattened. Although
pork is prohibited from en-.
tering several foreign countries, west
ern farmers need be in no fear of low
prices during the presen. season.
