Ga last Thursday morning, little
past ten o'clock, as the Canyon CITY
stage was on its way to Baker City,
with six passengers on board, Mrs.
Overholt, two gentlemen and three
Cinnamon, aud MIR. Sam Ross, driver,
got to the Union creek hill, about three
miles this side of Brittcn's station, q
man with double-barreled shot gun
stepped into the road, in front OF the
stage, and commanded the driver to
halt, and at near the same time anoth-
or nan, with six shooter in his hand,
appeared at tho side of the stage and
commanded halt, which the driver
obeyed. The robbers took from tho
three Cinnamon about 81, 800, and some
money from the two gentlemen, but
nothing from the lady, telling her they
did not want her little satchel, with
some three or four dollars in it, which
she offered them. One of the gentle-
mon, after he had boon robbed, told the
robbers he wished they would give him
half-dollar to get his dinner with in
Baker, as ho did not want to 90 there
broke, and one of them reached him a
halfdollar. Tho. gentleman had about
$3.50 on his person that the robbers
failed to get. This is one of the bold
est stage robbeIiss that has occurred
in our county, it boing done in broad
daylight, and on road on which there
is considerable travel at all times. The
robbers were largo sized, dressed in old
clothes, with hats that covered their
heads SO that the driver could not oven
see the color of their hair; their feet
were wrapped in gunny sacks. The
sheriff of our county has sent out men
on the trail of the robbers, and it is
hoped he may succeed in arresting
them.

Silver City Avalanche,


VIM, Vickers was arrested by Sheriff
Newcomb on Sunday morning last, near
the head of Squaw creek, in this county,
charged with an assault with intent to
commit murder, and brought before j..
II. Wickersham, probate judge, for ex-
animation. The examination was set
for Tuesday at one O'Clock, p. M, at
which time the examination was had,
and the defendant granted bail in the
sum of $4,000 to appear before the
grand jury of this county at the next
term of court. In default of bail he
was committed to tho custody Of the
sheriff. The testimony Of the case was
merely corroborative of the facts given
by us last week. White, the man who
was stabbed, is getting along nicely,
and will probably be out soon. Sheriff
Newcomb was absent from town when
he warrant was sworn out, and he did
not arrive until Friday following. On
Saturday morning, in company with
Mr.. J. L. Griffln, he started to look for
Vickers, and on Sunday he found him

jumped out OF the wagon before the

The robber demanded the express box,
and the driver, John Mann, told him
he had no box, and to come and soc for
himself. He came up, pistol in hand,
and saw there was no express box, and

driver saw where he had rihed the mail.

Easily Answered.

You ask us dear Harold Mccormick, (Which is most desirable. money or fame?'' Tbis is the sort of question we used to answer with one hand tied be- hind us. The answer, dear Harold, is money. We live in 8 sordid age, when money, good hard, every day coin of the realm, talks in a loud argumentative tone of voice which the trump of fame, even at concert pitch, has never been able to drown. So long as society continues in it's present condition fame will never buy pair or unbleached cotton socks, a cheese sandwich or gum coat. Fame is we'll enough in it's way, but there isn't 8 street car line in town that would honor 8 draft on it for bundle of exchange tickets. Men have been known to starve on 1t, but it never enabled anybody to compete at an exhibition of fat men or send shipload of bacon and tracts to the benighted heather of foreign lands. Therefore, if you haven't made up your mind let us advise you gently, but firmly, to acquire money rather than fame. Fame Is easier to ab- sorb than wealth, and it may be amassed by such puerile means as jumping off the bridge, beating the record at roller skating or eating thirty quail in thirty consecutive days. but it is money that whispers per- suasion into the ears of the greedy world, and it is time you were finding out. Ac- quire wealth, and then honestly endeavor to become famous as the stingiest man in the world. Men have tried it and won.- Philadelphia Press.

which he wrote week or two ago in regard to the proposed baptism of @ lady in one ot our churches, which finally did not come off, for good and sufficient reasons. It re- minded us of one of Bryan Curley's bills years ago, while special policeman to tke board, made ont in rude way 'eTo one row, which would have happened if hadn't been there to stop it, $1'' This baptism would have taken place had not the clergy
 man been less compromising with past sin than the Master, who said Though thy sins be as scarlet they shall be as wool" When the contribution plate is next passed in church this lady and her husband should consider the church indebted to her ''one baptism" Like the Irishman who hired fellow-countryman to do some work, which was neglected, and his employer forwarded a bill for damages-s'To one we'll yon didn't dig, Dr., $10." So here, when contribu- tions are the order the parties should say to the church, "To one baptism you didn't per- form, Dr." Y ct to "return to our mutton," as the French say, because these modern scandals are mostly French. The past week or ten days, by actual count fifteen dudes, who move in respectable society, have struck THE EXAMINER man, and Tn conh- dence said they had little matter" of their own with certain party, and asked if they were meant in the article. Three merchants with elevators in their buildings have taken an inventory as to who went up on them the past three months, and one in particular has assnred THE EXAMINER man that he only deals in lounges and spring beds, and can see how he can be ma 1e target for newspaper talk. Besides, twen- ty husbands have assured us that they have every confidence in the fidelity of their wives, and there is a far better chance for. Waterbury than either Sodom or Gomor
 rah, or the "cities of the plain" ever had. These husbands (Heaven bless their inno- cent soulsD approach THE EXAMINER man unsolicited, and their excuses are as varied as are the cares on their troubled faces. One says "His wife was to be baptized, but he thought it was nonsense and blocked it. ," Another says "His partner was all fixed for purifcation by water, but as 1t was in win ter he forbade it Had it been summer he would have said Go ahead."' Another says, 'She was in angelic purity fixing for this thing, but she comes of consumptive parentage, and I said Let up.'" And so on through the list. The question still is unsolved THE EXAMINER man told the truth, but there is multitude in this de- vout city-husbands, wives, and dudes asking il bated breath "Who's whoa" '

 ''GooD CITIZENSHIP"
 In Pastor Kimball's class in Good Citizen ship last Sunday, after the story in Judges 4, Tn which is mentioned the killing of Sis- era by Jael had been related, the question Ills assassination ever justifiable"-was discussed. As the negative seemed to be chiefly favored by the class, the pastor talk ing the case of Sisera thought Jael probably justified her act by thinking that if he escaped he would again make war upon the nation, and cause the destruction of numer- ous lives, and 1t was better that he alone should suffer.
 Dr. Greasy said, if in the beginning of our civil war the Confederate leaders had come to Washington to treat with the gov ernment on the same principle that actuated Jael, it would have been justified in seizing and executing the rebel chiefs.
 the czar by the Nihilists had resulted in some good-that his successor had somewhat ameliorated the condition of his people. After the various views of the class had been expressed, MT. Kimball remarked that the people of olden times had not evolved up out of their original brutality enough to feel any compunetion in conducting warfare upon more humane methods than we would exercise toward ravenous wild beasts, but that now higher, nobler civilization was unfolding, when treachery and unnecessary cruelty would be discarded. Even warfare was conducted npon more honorable princi- ples than formerly; that the attainment of an end, however beneficent, by fraud or duplicity, even though it was practised in order to bring law-breaker-as an illicit liquor dealer, for instance-to justice, the means were to be deprecated.
