Good-Looking Young Man Hobs
Two Stages In Oregon.


LISKviLIE, Ore, Sept. 4,--I.ast night
about 12 o'clock the driver OF the north
bound stage on the Aver, Lmkvillc line
was startled by tho familiar command
of ''Halt" coming from tbo bushcs by
the wayside. He had often declared
that no 'd--d robbers" could hold him
up, but he held his hands mp as high ms
he could. After robbing the express
box of 800 and the single pas
sengcr of $50, the robbor climbed on
the hind boot of the stage and ordered
the driver to go ahead. Soon the rattle
of the south-bound stage could he heard.
The robber commanded halt, and
ordering the driver to stay where he
was, slipped away in the bushes. The
driver listened as the command Halt
was borne to his ears, tho wheels slipped,
and then he heard the blows OF nm axe
on the express box. The south bound
stage was presumably robbed in the
same manner as the north bound, but IL
is not known how much money was
taken. The drivers were not allowed 10
talk To each other, and only one has
reached here so far. The robber is de-
scribcd as short, good looking man
about % years of age. He wore no
mask.
