Pursuit and Fight With Train
Robbers.

LITE Rock, March 2O.-Near
Bonneville, Logan county, on Mon
day morning, Sheriff Grady and posse
attacked four men supposed to be the
Littio Rock and Fort Smith train
robbers, whose capture was tele-
graphed last night. A running fight
followed and one Of the fugitives
was fatally wounde d and left at
the magazine. He gave the name of
Roberts and admitted being an out
law. Captain Ellington, of the
sheriff's posse, was wounded. At
last accounts the posse was still in
pursuit.
The johnson brothers, two of the
men who robbed the train, were
lodged IN Jail at Ozark to-day.

Whether or not Horace Greeley
ever did take that memorable ride 10
Placerville with Hank Monk is of no
importance at this late day, but the
PRONUNCIATION of the anecdote cha
grined that austere editor and ram
killed. within his breast to the day of
his death in 1872. During the Presi-
dental campaign Monk, weary of
driving six horses and a coach over
the Sierras, wrote to Greeley and re-
quested, in the event of his election
to the Presidency, he would give him
an appointment. The following is a
copy of Greeley's reply:
Sir: Your impertinent request is
received, and in reply I desire to say
that were I possessed of the aggre-
gate wealth Of the world, and you
were on the verge Of starvation, I
would not vouchsafe to you crust
of mildewed bread to save your
worthless existence, for you are the
only creature that has ever succeeded
in placing me before the American
people in q ridiculous light.
Hank, who imagined that he add
ed to Greeley's glory, was staggered
by the above reply. When the
Pioneer Stage Company ceased to ex-
ist, Monk, nearly broken-hearted, re-
moved to Nevada and settled in Car
son, driving stage during the sum-
mer between Carson and Glenbrook,
on the shore of Kake Tahoe. His
fame as a ''whip" attracted tourists
from all parts of the world, and dur
all the years of his driving over the
mountains he never met with an ac-
cident.

aREELEYs OVERLAND RIDE.
Some Facts About Hank Monk
and the AuStere Editor Not
Generally Known.

The following bits of history con-
nected with the late Hank Monk
will, at this writing, prove interest
ing:
He arrived III Sacramento one Sun
day in June, 1855, and on the fol-
lowing day was engaged by James
Birch, one of the victims of the Col
den Gate disaster, to drive on the old
Auburn stage line. He continued in
that service until 1857, when the
Overland Stage Company hired him
to drive between Placeryille and
Genoa, Nevada. In 1859, when the
discovery Of silver mines in Washoe
was heralded to the world, Monk
connected himself with the Pioneer
Stage Company, then controlled
by Louis McLane, where he re-
mained until the completion of the
Central Pacific and Virginia & True
kee railroads. He was esteemed
from the outset as the most reliable
and faithful driver across the then
perilous mountain grades. When
the first Washoe excitement had
reached its highest pitch many of the
mine owners would often be under
stress of making flying trips across
the mountains, and Monks skill
would invariably be called into requi-
sition to safely drive them over the
most dangerous parts of theroad. In
the winter of 1862 some San Fran
ciscans were called upon to make
extraordinary quick time to Virginia
City. The roads were III q wretched
condition, but Monk took them
safely through from Strawberry Val
ley to their destination, distance of
fifty miles, in less than five hours.
1t was an unparalleled feat. and the
gentlemen evinced their appreciation
by presenting the driver with gold
watch valued at $500.

| IuH RCSeiAS NEMESIS IN SIELRIA.--A
dispatch says that great disorder prevails
in the penal colonies Of Siberia. lowing
to official corruption Probably tue
corruption may have been an immediate
irritant, but the main cause is found in the
convict colonists. Recent travellers in
Siberia have told of the growth of that
vast region, more especially in its south
ern portion. The deportation of political
offenders especially has, during the past
| 10 years, been SO great that it has been
| impossible to prevent the growth of civ
| i!izaiion which is hostile at heart to car
ism The Dihilsts who have been sent
there and have gone during the past 10
years Ivy the scores of thousands, have
been, a. rule, of the best educated and
most jntcIi2entIg related class, especially
in social sense. Their relatives have
been able 10 save Them from fortress, dun
2eons, OF from death under the knout.
The dral,iad third section has sent in to the
penal colonies Of Siberia many thousands
who wpr8 arrested secretly and without
charge. and most OF whom are known
officially not by names but by numbers.
It is an open secret that here is a propa-
ganda and association Mt work which has
extensive ramifcations touching both San
Francisco and New York, as ~oll as
reaching into British India and Europe
also. In the city of San Francisco there
is n small colony of distinguished Poles
and Russians, whose reticence as TO their
immediate pas, is quito marked. All
along tho Pacific coast and in Mexico
there may be found educated Russians,
not many in the aggregate perhaps, but
enough to distinguish them us q social
factor. There are rumors OF mysterious
Yacht, which clears occasionally from san
Francisco or Portland for Pacific voyage,
and this nty explain the following in the
most recent dispatch: "a large number
of exies made an attempt to escape. but
were recaptured, except those who fled
from the island of Saghalien," The island
lies north of Japan with the yellow sea
between. 1t faces Siberia and has Man
choria and KamsChatka ut its northern and
southern extremities. Saghalien is long
narrow island, with Il bold, rocky shore
looking out on the Pacific. The strait
between it and the continent is from so to
100 miles wide. Until within few years
Saghalen was claimed by both Japan and
Russia aud jurisdiction was shared between
the two countries Firaly,the question was

submitted to an arbitration and decided
against Japan. Russia, after taking full
possession, turned the island into penal
colony for nihiists. Only the most i'm
portant and formidable were shipped there.
They are sent in Russian men.of war,
being generally kept between decks,
locked in iron cages, the cages chained to
the deck. The first cargoes were sent
during the heated term and the route
chosen is always the mid-trophical one of
the Mediterranean, Suez canal, Red sea.
Indian ocean, the straits of Sunda and the
Chinese and Yellow seas. An American
naval officer was three years since, at
Singapore, admitted to one of these ves-
sells. He saw the living cargo. There had
been 800 when tho frigate sailed from
Cronstadt; at Singapore there were less
than 200 remaining. In answer to q
remark Russian officer said it would be
as well for the poor wretches if none of
them were living on arrival at Saghalien.
The escape chronicled in the cablegram
is, then, evidently of Importance. The
horrors Of Russian cza,ism will never be

which we get u glimpse within. Saghal

A citizen OF Tuscumbia, Ala, will be
careful how he hunts ground hogs again.
The other morning his dogs freed hog
on the mountain, and he went to secure
the game, which he found in a hollow log
with the entrance lying up hill. He pro-
cured long pole to reach the game, but
this being too short he crawled in to
lengthen the pole, and hung his toes over
the end of the log. In this position he
lost his hold, and down he went in the log
on top of the ground hog, and a lively
fight began. The mans superior strength
prevailed, but not until he had been bitten
in eleven places, and badly scratched and
scared. But the trouble had not ended.
He could not crawl backward up HILL so
he was a prisoner in a critical, not to say
ridiculous position, with no means of es-
cape. Fortunately his family went out to
see what had happened, whom they discov.

imprisoned hunter out of the log,
