Washington the foresight shown in picking out
just the property the Commissioners would
buy is a somewhat remarkable feature of the
transaction. This was the case of the lots
purchased from Mr.. Dawson. About the LIST of
June Mr.. Chas. Early applied to Messrs Weller
d Repetti and secured forty-fve days option
on the property ON dep0siting 800. The op-
tlon was secured in the name of Jas. A. Tay-
lor. When the option expired the appropria-
ton bill had not passed. Mr.. Early wrote to
the agents letter in which he spoke of his
client as rich man, and said he was out Of the
city and unable to attend to the business. He
asked an extension Of the option and it was
granted. After the appropriation bill passed
ex-Commissioner West appeared and completed
the transaction. 1t was then that the agents
refused to divide the commission. They did
not like the manner they had been treated in
the case Of the police station site. Mr.. Weller,
suspecting that the Dawson property also was
intended for the District. told Mr.. West that if
1t we're a direct sale he would divide the COM
mission, but if MIR. West was buying for the
District he would not. Mr. West did not press
his demand for division further.
real estate dealer speaking of the methods
followed in these purchases said, that even il
the District had not paid more than the owner
received, and there was no question raised on
that score, the titles were endangered by pass
ing through SO many hands, The simplest
transfers. he said. are the safest. There might
be, he said an unsatisfed judgment rendered
against the middle-man or some other condi-
ton existing that would imperil the title.

THOUGHT TO BE seBLACK BART. ,,
Recent Stage Robberies-Probabiyt the
Famous Highwayman's Work.


CHICAGO, Nov. 2S.-A dispatch from San
Francisco says: detective, in the employ of
Wells Fargo Co., is authority for the state
ment that the recent series of stage robberies
IN western California were the work of .sBlack
Bart" the famous lone highwayman who
robbed thirty-one stages in this state before he
was finally captured five years ago and sent To
San Quentin. Bart, whose real name il Bolles
came from Missouri. and began his robberies
In lo!0 and for thirteen years he completely
mystihed the police. His system was to watch
stage coaches with powerful field-glasses. and
when ne found no armed guard was on the
stage he would mask himself and hold up the
stage without regard to the number of pas
sengers on board. He regularly returned the
money and valuables to the females passengers,
and 1t was his custom to leave doggered verses
on broken express boxes.
MAKING GAME OF THE DETEcrrvEs
he was finally caught in San Francisco and
sent up for seven years The detective learned
that Bart, after his release last January, went
70 Nisitia, IN Kern county, and registered at
Moore, When the stage was robbed near Read
ing, last July, the detectives suspected Bart.
and investigated. He found all the familiar
methods used by the lone highwayman, and
since then three other stages have been robbed
In neighboring all by the same skilled
hand. Descriptions of the masked highway
man, as well as his daring and skill, correspond
with Bart. Detectives have hopes of soon
catching him, but the prospect is dubious, as
be has eluded them before for more than ten
years.
