HIGHWAY ROBBERY.

Thrilling Experience of G.. j. DemOrest
Ia the Forests of Pine County Robbed
and Seriously If Not Fatally Beaten.
A scene was presented in union depot yes
terdsy afternoon which made each individual
who saw it feel like going to war. when the
tale was unfolded. The spectacle was that of
brave man lying PROSTATE on truck. The
history briefly told is as follows:
G. J. Demorest, travelling agent for the
Detroit seed firm OF D. NJ, Ferry & Co., was
last Monday morning, between s and
O'Clock, driving aloeg in one of the COM
pany's wagons between the towns of Harris
and Stark, on the Duluth road. He was
stopped by two well dressed strangers on the
pretext of inquiring after a stray horse and
buggy. AS soon as The wagon had come TO a
stand still the smaller highwayman stepped to
| the horses heads saying: "There are horse
thieves in this vicinity, and We believe you are
one" Demorest comprehended the situation
in an instant, and jumping to the ground,
made around for the rear of the wagon where
he encountered the bigger highwayman aud
clinched with him. Demorest, like many
brave and reckless men, was unarmed, but
he would have overcome the robber had it not
been for the little fellow, who
stole up and struck him cowardly blow in
the back with club. .Demorest was rendered
unconscious by the shock which his spine re-
ceived from the club, together with the
weight of the heavy ruffian, who fell on him
with crushing force. He was robbed of
$500 so and a gold watch, and then dragged
into the brush and left for dead
The robbers used the team to aid
their flight and escaped, unhitching the
horses after going some distance up the
road. The horses returned to Harris.
About 10 O'Clock in the morning Mr.
White, of Rush City, who was driving ry in q
buggy, heard .groans, and by beating about
the bush discovered the ipjurej man, who
had to be carried to hotel on Buffalo robe.
Sheriff Stolberg was absent from Harris for
five heurs, and when he arrived no trace of
the murderous thieves could be found.
The sheriff of Pine City said he believed he
had seen two men answering to the descrip-
tiou given of the footpads. The two men
boat at Pine City to 60 to Brunswick, thence
to st. Cloud. The sheriff OF Pine City sug-
gested that the crimiaa would be pretty GER
tain Of capture If reasonable reward should
be offered.
DIR. McComb, of Rush City, examined the
wounded man and pronounced his injuries to
be spinal, and of such gravity as to make him
cripple in all probability, if not serious
enough to cause death.
Mr.. w. A. Warehouse, representing the
same firm as DemOrest, took the injured man
home on the S:45 train over the Milwaukee
road last night.
Ferry & Co., who have fifteen men travelling
in Minnesota, will probably offer a reward for
the apprehension of the ruffians.

JAY GOULD evidently has poor opin-
ion of 1.-THE average politician. In late
interview he said, pointing to a nest of
drawers: These pigeon holes are filled
with the demands, the threats, the en-
treaties of politicians, men of all parties
and no party, Republicans, Democrats,
and anti-monopolists. If you were
worth million dollars and a directing
agent in some corporate interest, you
would soon find out and understand the
force of what mean" Had the original
board of directors of the Northern Pacific
put their thoughts into words just after
moon-faced Bill Window struck them,
their language would probably have been
even more emphatic than is Gould's.

SiIperton rs. Pedro.

There is another talked of match race on the
tapis for the coming fair week which, if
finally made, will create no little interest
among the local horsemen of st. Paul and
minneapolis and will give Col. King another
FIST. class racing attraction for his next weeks
programme. The 2:2l class advertised by the
fair managers did not fill, but Commodore
Kittson's silverton and Mr.. Fred G. Pillsbury's
gray horse Pedro were both entered where they
were hoping to try each others mettle. As
the race did not fill, Mr.. Ben Woodmansee
nas challenged the owner OF the gray gelding
to a match race, three in five heats
for $500 side. 1t is said that Mr.
Pillsbury is some " hat disnclined TO ALLOW his
horse to 90 into match race, but il he can
be persuaded TO do SO the two horses would
make race second in interest only to that of
the great $500 contest between Won Amin
and Monroe Chief. 1t is to be hoped Mr..
Pillsbury will crafty the public interest in
this by letting his fine horse measure his
powers beside the red gelding OF Midway.

SHOO! FLY !

w. S. Fly, Gonzales statesman, signing
himself as "Member State Dem. Elk. Com"
prints an appeal to the democracy of that
district calling upon them to organize, and in
this address gets off sample of campaign
billingsgate which ought to be patented for
this campaign. After laudng the so-called
democratic platform adopted at Galveston, he
says:
Against these principles Of democracy and
its chosen standard bearers, the dismembered
fragments of the republican and greenback
parties. scallawags, carpet-baggers, freeboot-
ers. and independents, so-called, are banding
themselves together, and with no principle
but the longing for official plumber, with no
cohesive power but intense hatred to demoC
racy "these black spirits and grey aided by
federal gold and federal influence, are endeav-
oring to bring back upon us the dark days OF
1871.
Further on he says:
Never before was seen such combination
and the patriot may well bestir himself when
he sees the radical brigadier OF Iowa, the rem
egade southerner, the confederate lieutenant
colonel and the federal government join hands
to overrun sovereign state Let the democ-
racy of the district organize and be ready for
the contest.
Well might the heart of the bour-
bon Fly tremble for the fate of
the so-called democracy. But sensible
men aiding such clap trap will only expert
ence disgust and not knowing the author. put
him down as some back woods donkey who
likes to hear himself bray. We know, Fly,
and know him to be very honest we'll mean
ing man but lacking in good common sense
and very ignorant, but of type of men who
largely run the democratic party and whose
stock in trade is buncome and abuse, of their
opponents Unfortunately for the state such
men are elected to the legislature and help to
spend the money Of the state..and botch up its
legislation The terrible combination Mr.. Fly
enumerates the radical brigadier, the rem
egade Southener union men, the Confederate
Lieutenant Colonel, and the Federal govern
ment, to repress the new Texas that will have
little use for the Flys and the Irelands who
h we stood in the way of the progress ano
