ST. LOUIS, March 3.-Prentiss Tiller
money clerk for the Pacific Express com

vile detective, disappeared about three
o'clock yesterday afternoon, taking with
him one or two valises full of money
packages, the total amount being nearly
$4,000. 1t is the custom of the company
to keep money clerk and day watch.

and no one being admitted except the
messengers who arrive on the morning
trains and have money packages to turn
over. Yesterday afternoon Tiller was
on duty and the watchman remained in
the back room tending to the door, the
front doors being kept locked. About 2
o'clock the watchman went out to lunch,
leaving three messengers sitting by the
stove while he was gone. Tiller went
out and returned with a stranger whom
the messengers supposed to be new
clerk or a messenger. Tiller and the
ssranger went into the front Office and
were thought no more Of An hour later
Tiller came into the back Office

returned that he believed he would 60
out and get some lunch. Wiping his
hands, he re-entered the front Office and
was not seen again. Half an hour after
ward the watchman walked into the
front Office to get something and was
surprised to find the front door unlocked
and Tiller absent. He spoke of it to the
messengers who were sittingby the stove
in the rear and they told him of the
stranger. This alarmed him and he
summoned the superintendent, who soon
discovered that about bushel of money
packages were missing. Detectives have
learned nothing yet.
San FRANCISCO, March 6-Fifteen
thousand people were inside the pavilion
this evening to witness the Sullivan
Robinson match, and it is estimated as
many more were turned away. The re-
ceipts for sale of tickets is close on to
$4,000. Tickets sold at five dollars in
advance. The hall arrangements under
Hugh Coyle. were perfect. One hundred
police were distributed in the audience
to preserve order. Sullivan made the
first appearance in the ring at $50 in
first-class form and was greeted enthu-
siastically. A few seconds later he was
followed by Robinson, whose condition
was favorably commented on by the
audience. The former weighed 2O4
pounds, the later 10. The announce
ment that the police disallowed the use
of three ounce gloves was hissed; eight
ounce gloves were used. Thos. Chandler,
referee; Hiram B. Cook, timekeeper for
Robinson; VIM. Muldoon for Sullivan.
Robinson was knocked down eight times
in the first round, going down at each
blow of Sullivan, without receiving pun
ishment. The second round was an ex-
act repetition Of the first, except that
Robinson fell down fourteen tin es in
rapid succession. In the third round the
same maneuvers on the part of Robinson
were practiced, who, however, did not
succeed so we'll in avoiding punishment,
getting several severe blows none of
which appeared to take the starch out of
of him. In this round the claim was
made by Sullivan's timekeeper, that
Robinson fell without being struck by
Sullivan, but the claim was not noticed
by the referee, In the fourth round
Robinson's trick of falling without an
exchange OF blows was too evident for
the referee to allow it to pass. The
round was unfinished and the match
given to Sullivan on foul as specified
above.
FARGO, March g. Vice President
Oakes, of the Northern Pacific, passed
east tonight from his western trip, and
reports finding the condition of the road
better than he expected. He was asked
if there was any basis for the report that
he was about to resign the management
to go to New York to engage in stock
speculations and said there was no truth
in it. He did not know how it originat-
ed unless in the wishes of papers at
Minneapolis. He expected to remain in
his present position and bring his family
to St. Paul in June. He knew of no rea-
son to suppose that Mr.. Lamborn would
leave the road. He reports travel setting
in very heavily toward the coast and the
new mines with quite rush to the lat
ter. He said that the shops would be
filled al the requirements of business de-
manded, and he anticipated a large traffic
over the whole line, for in few weeks
the immigration to Dakota and Montana
would set in in large volume. 1t would
be the policy of the road to do all in its
power to secure settlements along its
line. The attempt to deprive the road
of it's lands he thought was mere dema-
gogism and would amount to nothing.

crate tribes of Flatheads and other In
dams for the sale of portion OF their

use of the Northern Pacific.
