A FRIGHTENED R0BBER.
He Drops His Booty, Consisting of $4,000, and
Makes His Escape.


Special to the Gazette.
SAN ANGELO, TEX. Jan. 26 "A bold
attempt at robbery was made upon the
monte bank owned by Sol Schoonever
and John Brown at the Silver Moon sa-
loon this morning at 80 clock, by an
unknown disguised white man. Upon
entering the saloon he ordered all of those
present, six in number, to hold up their
hands, which was readily complied with,
and the would-be robber proceeded to
gather up cash amounting to $4,000
and make hasty retreat out
of the front door. AS he
was doing this five shots followed him,
taking effect in the door, missing their
mark This must have frightened him,
as he fell over a lot of beer kegs near the
front door, and upon regaining his feet
he fired off his six-shooter and took to
flight, leaving all of the booty in the
mud, which was found and returned to
the proper owners. The night being in
tensely dark, the party made good his
escape without leaving any clew of his
identity.

The captain of the man of-war was as

Worksop on board kings ship that
would be sailing for home i'll few days.
Out of his own purse he presented the
young man with handsome sum of
money, whilst all hands, from the first
lieutenant down TO the loblolly boy, sub
scribed dollars enough to handsomely
tassel the handkerchief of the victim of
circumstantial evidence Further, the
captain gave him a letter addressed to

ne related York s story at large, and
begged him so to interest himself in the

such PREPARATION from government as in

of the student of this blurred old-world
piece. Yet tradition is not wholly I'M

PARIS, Ten Jan, 26-The city coun-
ell of Paris have been considering for
several weeks the ACCESSIBILITY of apply
ing to the legislature for a new city
charter, but the mayor, Hon. R. valid
ridge, seems to be trying his utmost to
defeat the project. Two members of the
council on last Wednesday presented
an application to the mayor, re-
questing him to call special
meeting of the council for the purpose of
considering the subject, but he refused;
therefore several members. of the council
presented bin with like application,
but were again refused; then went in
body to the mayors Office to hold the
meeting, but the mayor left the hall.
No action has yet been taken.
Contracts for paving two of the princl-

Probably there never was before such a
large fruit crop in Georgia as there is this
year. 1t is certain that there has not been
one as large in many years. About all
kinds Of fruit grown in the state-and
Georgia produces quite variety of them
are abu dant. The peach, apple aud pear
trees are literally borne down, and in some
Sc tioas it is feared that the damage to
them, on account of broken limbs, will be
considerable. If a strong wind sh uld pass
through those sections just now, many
trees probably would be ruined. The grape
crop also is an immense one.
Not olly is fruit abu ldant, but it is ex-
celient in quality. AS it is a healthful arti-
Gle of food, aud as the people are not likely
under the circumstances to eat any except
the best, the result. no doubt, will be that
health will be promoted. The family that
can have well ripened and sound peac es
and pears at breakfast aud cool melons at
dinner will not have much use for IN edi-
cine.
The shipment of fruits from the state has
been pretty heavy. The people of other
states are enjoying the luscious peaches,
pears and melons of Georgia, and our own
people are being pecuniarily benefited.
Many of the fruit growers and farmers are
drying their apples and peaches, and they
expect to realize considerable profits from
dried fruit next fall.

but in the suggestions Of new ideas and

Truth About the Sioux Lands.

The impression has been given out that
the Ia lds Of the Sioux reservation, which
the government has just acquired, are
marvelously rich ard well adapted for agri-
culture. TIE chairman Of the mmission
which secured the consent Of the Indians to
sell these lands says that this impression is
Incorrect. The section Of country which
the government has acquired Is about as
large as the state Of New Jersey. The
gr alter part Of il is I'll 0 ly for grazing pur-
poses. There are some good tarmi 2 lands.
There are large areas. however. which are
arid. and are not it for much of anything
unless irrigated.
There will be no speculation in these
lands. Only actual settlers can acquire
them. The land gamblers are ruled out,
and 1t is q good thi they are. Actual
settlers ought 70 be able to get homesteads
at ground-foor prices.
The cim> te of the newly acquired terri
tory is not what might be ca ed superb.
The less said about it the better. In July
last there were days whe1 the thermometer
stood at ITO IN the s-ade. In the winter
the mercury drops out of sight, and doesn't
make its appearance until along toward
spring.
Ram cannot be depended upon to come
when needed. In some years it appears
only at intervals of several months. OF
course, agriculture cannot thrive under
those conditions.
Home-seekers, instead Of going west
should seek the south. In the south good
lanCls can BE- had at low prices. In the
south also there is established society.
Everywhere there are schools and churches
The climate Is good and Che rainfall can be
depeadei upon. Why, then, should home
seekers 90 to the arid plains OF the west
where they are scorched in summer and
frozen in win er
