A Robbers Honesty.

Special Telegram to the Statesman.
ABILENE. June pa singular freak of
honesty and gratitude occurred in the
case of the stage robber who held up the
stage on the San Angelo road recently,
and who was caught at Colorado yester-
day. After robbIng the stage he went to
Sweetwater, and there mailed $40 of his
illgotten gains to gentleman in this city
who, about year ago, was kind enough
to pay his fine and keep him from going
to Jail for some offense which he had
committed.

past the Southern Pacific company have

another POO feet, with like results, making
800 feet in all, nearly all the

as the sand rock was struck water came
to within short distance of the top. A

1t is extremely distasteful to us to

overcome our dislike, and ask those
who have not as yet paid their sub

need the money, and what is more we
must have it. Doubtless many of
those in arrears have the impression
that the amount involved is small;
individually it is, but when two or
three hundred subscribers are owing
us in small sums varying from SO TO
$40, to say nothing of those in arrears
for only one year, the sum total as
sumes such an amount the lack of

carry on the business. That our read
ers may have some idea of the matter
we take the following statistics from
our mailing list. Our subscription
list is nearly one thousand; CT this
number less than three hundred have
paid in advance, as many more are
owing over one years subscription,
about one hundred owe two Years
subscription, sixty-tlIree owe three
years subscription, seventy-one owe
four years, and others are owing as
much as five, six and seven years. 1t
will thus be seen that upwards OF one
thousand dollars are due us by those
owing from two to four years SUP
