THE MINDEE MAIL STAGE ROBBED IN THE
BROAD LIGHT OF DAY.
shrerenort Standard.

BROAD LIGHT OF DAY.
Shreveport Standard.
The Minden stage, due here yestcr-
day morning, did not arrive till about
three o'clock in the afternoon, on ae-
count of its being robbed. On its ar
rival, Standard reporter sought the
passengers and driver and learned the
following facts:
About nine o'clock in the morning
when passing through the woods near
Clark's bayon, about three miles be-
yond fillmore, in Bossier parish, two
masked men made their appearance
and called to Mr.. Marion Tolly, the
driver, to halt, which he failed to obey,
and they soon reached the leaders Of
his team of four horses and stopped
them. While one took charge of the
driver and team the other ordered the
passengers to throw up their hands and
get out of the stage, which they did
at the mouth of the highwayman's
pistol without any other persuasive
cloquence on his part BY this time
the partner came to the group and the
process of going through them was
proceeded with. From Mr. Hill, one
Of the passengers, they got about ten
dollars from Mr.. Alex Homer, CT
Minden, four dollars; from Mr.. j. II,
Stinson, of De Soto parish, watch,
chain and ring. They failed to get
$l75 this gentleman had in his pocket.
1t seems they took him for parson
and let him off easy. From Mr.. r. W.
Walker, of Shreveport, they got $l0.75.
While this was going on Tolly, the
driver, was occupying his seat ON the
box, thinking they were going to let
him off. Not so, however, as he was
required to sbuek out his pile, amount
ing to $3.50. They then called for
the mail bags, which Tolly refused to
give up, but they soon procured them,
and while one of the highwaymen kept
the whole party holding their hands
up at the mouth of a revolver, the
other proceeded to cut the leather mail
pouch open and secured thirteen regis
tered packages, which they made off
with. The rest of the mail they left
scattered on the ground, and after their
departure it was gathered up by Mr..
Tolly.
Before leaving the highwaymeu made
Mr.. Tolly get down and take the nuts
off the wheels on the left side of the
stage and give them to them, and they
carried them off, making their escape
into the woods, and telling the stage
driver not to leave for an hour. By
wrapping the end of the spindles with
rope Mr.. Tolly was enabled to get the
stage to Fillmore, where he had new
nuts put on.
The two highwaymen wore masks
made of black cambric, which fit close
ly over their heads, Eye holes and
mouth holes were cut in the masks,
and on the back part of the head they
did not entirely cover the hair, While
the robbery was going on, Mr.. Tolly,
who was sitting on the box, took in
the two individuals as best he could
who had SO uneeremonously stopped
the mail stage, He describes one of
them as being a stout, heayy-set man,
weighing about 22o pounds and about
five feet ten inches in height, black
moustache, hair and eyes, and dark
complexion. The other was somewhat
taller aud had auburn hair and nous
taehe. He thinks he would recognize
them anywhere.

The story Of n Battle:Flag.

A New York paper has the following
relating to Colonel Brown, Superintend
ent of the Soldiers Home, who is well
known to many of citizens, having made
numerous visits to our village, spend
ing considerable time for several sum
mers in this vicinity:
In the sharply contested battle of Ce-
dar Mountain, fought on the 9th of
August, 1862, the Twenty-eighth New
York Volunteers, after losing nearly
half of its officers and men, including
its colonel, was captured, together with
its regimental flag. The flag bore no
no name or inscription, but the man
who carried it cut piece out of one
corner before it passed out Of his posses
sion, so that it might be identified. 1t
was never seen again by any member OF
the regiment until few day since. Col
Onel K. +. Brown, who was Lieutenant
Colonel Of the Twenty-eighth New York
at the battle of Cedar Mountain, who
lost an arm in that action, and who has
since the war been the custodian of the
piece cut from the flag, accidentally dis
covered the flag itself in this city in a
collection of recaptured Union cOlOrs
found in Richmond when that city was
taken in 1866. He at once wrote to the
Secretary of War on behalf of the survvi-
ing members of the regiment, asking
that the flag be restored to them. The
request was granted, and, in pursuance
of All ordered issued yesterday by Adju.
tant General Drum, the flag was turned
over to Colonel Brown, and will be pre-
sented to the surviving members Of the
regiment at their next annual reunion,
( which will take place in few weeks.

Death of Luke RuddSck.

With sadness we record the death of
Luke Ruddock, one of Cheboygan's best
known and highly esteemed citizens
which occurred Monday night after an
illness of about one week. Mr. RuddOck
came to Cheboygan some IA years ago,
since which time he had been fully
identified with the interests of this viii
lage. He was an honest, upright, indus
trious and enterprising citizen, known
of all men only to be respected and loved.
For many years he was in the employ of
the firms of which Mr., +. Nelson has
been the directing spirit. Upon the COM
pletiOn of the Nelson & StrOhn mill, up
the river, he took the position of one of
the head sawyers position he had since
held under the successive firms each sea-
son, ever proving faithful and efficient
employe, working for the best interests
[of his employers. For faithful services
he had recently been promoted to the
fOremanship of the extensive mill of
the Cheboygan Lumber Company, but
death removed him before he commenced
service in that capacity. His domestic
relations were extremely happy and he
was prominently home man, taking
his greatest pleasure amid his family
circle. A devoted husband and affection
ate father he leaves loving wife and
four darling children to mourn his loss.
For years he had been prominent
member of the Masonic Brotherhood and
his death causes loss that the fraterni-
ty will deeply feel. The deceased was
3S years of age. The funeral took place
from the Congregational church Wednes-
day afternoon under the auspices of the
MasOns, Rev. A. II. Lowrie preaching an
impressive discourse, in which he paid a
glowing tribute to the character of the
departed. The mourning family have
the sympathy of every citizen in this
their hour of sorrow.
