The Hot Springs star. (Hot Spings [Hot Springs], Dakota [Dakota Territory, i.e. S.D.]) 1886-189?, 1889-05-31

For the last several weeks the time
of Col. Evans has almost wholly been
occupied in an effort to get the North
western railway company interested in
the extension of their line to Hot
Springs. During the whole of that
period he has been going from one Of
fetal to another of that company, and
mainly through his efforts the princi-
pal officers of that road have visited
this place, and some of them have been
here twice inside the last preceding
thirty days, which Of itself is significant
and can reasonably be construed as
svidencing an interest on the part of
said officials in this extension. Mr..
Evans has not only put in his time,
but, at his expense, corps of survey
ors have been running the proposed
lime. which proves to be much more
feasible than was supposed. The prac
ticability Of the route as shown by the
survey, together with the satisfactory
impression the officials received of this
town and its surrounding resources
almost authorizes us to say that Hot
Springs will have a railroad before
winter. With the advent Of a railroad
every branch of business will be great,
ly invigoratcd. And not only that but
new industries will spring up. The
STAR earnestly hopes that the efforts o'
1 Mr.. Evans and of every other assist
ing agency may be crowned with sue
cess and that speedily.

MAIL ROBBERY.
A Registered Mail Pouch Stolen and thu
Thief Disturbed While Appropriatins

A Registered Mail Pouch Stolen and the
Thief Disturbed While Appropriating
It's Contents.
CHICAGO, April 1S.-The mail car on the
Lake Shore road which left here at 7:45
last night was robbed before it had got
ten out of the city limits. The thief Sc
cured the pouch containing about one hum
dred pieces of registered mail for Cleve-
land, o., and was rifing the contents in an
empty freight car between Twenty-second
and Twenty third streets when detected
by Waterman Dryer. AS Dryer looked
into the car the man jumped out through
the door on the opposite side, and
escaped. He had opened about one dozen
registered letters and succeeded in get
ting away with their contents. The post
office officials were notified and Superin-
tendent Montgomery went down to the
car in person and brought the pouch
bacss. He would not express an opinion
as to the probable amount of money
stolen, nor did he know the name of the
postal clerk in charge of the car.
1t is thought that the bag was taken off
the train at Twenty -second street, where
it passed at $40 p. M, but it is deemed
strange that that could be done without
the knowledge of the mail clerk. The
post office officials say they have
receipt from the postal clerk for
the bag and that the case rests
with the railway mail service. The con-
teats of forty-nine packages were taken,
and all but fourteen taken entire, and
there were few packages left behind.

Los ANGELES, Cal, April 15.-The Sc
cret order of the Golden Field was formed
here recently with the object of Selling
Lower California, making it an indepen-
dent republic and then getting admission
to the United States. The founder is said
to be an ex-Confederate officer, who has
been working secretly on the scheme for
over year. The order has many MEM
bers in Southern California, Texas and
Arizona. The plan is to gradually intro
duce members into Lower California,
have them become Mexican citizens and
then declare a republic. AS the order will
have many influential men in this coun-
try, admission to the Union will be a rep.
etitioR of the annexation of Texas. Cat

as the base of supplies.
1t is know that several prominent men
in Los Angeles have been approached
with large money offers to take charge Of
the undertaking, but they have all re-
fused, as the revolution business in Mex
leo is very risky.
