Stage Robbery.

It last the monotony Of stage travel
between Chadron and the Hills has
been broken by a genuine. old fashion
ed highway robbery, the first We have
had to chronicle since the days of '78
From Vannetta, the driver on the Hot
Springs route, W. learn that az the
NORTH western coach was pulling up the
Canyon just north Of the town on the
Cheyenne river which bears the name
Of Pimpville, the passengers, three
Cinnamon, and the messenger and
driver were hailed with the once famil-
lar command, Halt Get down! Hold
up your hands! and the three Mongol-
ians, with the messenger and driver
were soon standing i'm a row, with hands
up, and submitting their pockets to the
inspection Of three highwaymen, who
secured the large sum of $500 and u
nickle watch, after which the stage with
its load Of grumbling and chattering
celestials was allowed TO proceed on its
way to Deadwood.
The only lucky nan Of the party was
the messenger who had about $500 of
the express company's money concealed
on his person and which the robbers
failed to discover.

to the permanency Of the place. West
of Custer and in this county the increase
in population the past year has been
fully fifty per cent and the advent of

An Accident that Will Cause Her Perma-
nent Retirement from the Ring.

ALBANY, n. Y, July 1.-Lottie Watson the
woman with the iron jaw, with Van Amburgs
circus, met with an accident, yesterday after
noon, that will cause her retirement from the
ring. To exhibit her great strength of jaw, she
has been in the habit of holding suspended from
her mouth a cannon, which is discharged while in
mid air. The daring of the performance is in
creased by the fact that the woman is hoisted
from the ground and hangs head downward
during the feat Yesterday afternoon she was
assisted by the Freeman and Rice Brothers,
athletes, who superintended the apparatus
and had raised her to tie prop
err height for firing the cannon.
when one of the pulley ropes suddenly broke.
The heavy piece of ordnance and Mile. Watson
were precipitated to the ground, a distance of
about six feet. She struck the cannon head
first, with terrific force. and was picked up
unconscious Fora time the widest excitement
prevailed in the audience, but it quickly sub
sided. as the injured woman was removed and
the show went according to programme.
When taken to the hospital, she was found to be
seriously injured. Her forehead was crushed
in, the wound taking the form of q star; her
mouth was cut, and two teeth knocked out
The right hand was badly bruised, and some
internal injuries were received about the
stomach She will probably be confined to the
hospital for some time.

Mr. Stief's Scheme for Forming q Colony.
W. f, Stieff, book binder of this city, is

Mr.. Stief's Scheme for Forming a Colony.
W. f, Stieff, a book binder Of this city, is
endea*oring TO form a German colony to emf
CRATE to Kansas and occupy land there for farm
ing purposes. Last night number Of Germans
met in the mayors courtroom to hear the plans
of colonization which Mr. Stieff corceives to be
practicable and worthy Of trial. He proposed
that the members of the colony should borrow
sufficient amount of capital to purchase large
tract of land, upon which they were to settle
and live in a sort of communistic fashion.
The crops, he figured out, would
yield beautifully enough to clear
them Of debt. and in a short time each colonist
would be in comfortable financial circumstances.
The audience, however did not take we'll to the
optimistic views of the speaker, and several per-
sons present who had seen the West and ex-
perienced the difficulties of farming in a region
frequented by grasshoppers and scourged by
droughts cyclones and other calamities, rebutted
the rose -colored views of Mr. Stieff with the
logic of practical experience 1t is very doubtful
if Mr. Stef will be able to organize a colony
from this city.
