fired the shot whose echo was heard
throughout the civilized world he leaped
from the box, and in doing so caught the
rowel of his spur in the silken folds Of
the starry banner protruding from the
presidents box. That slip probably cost
Booth his life, for the flag tripped him
and caused the broken leg which imped-
ed him in his efforts to escape and rem
dered him an easy victim for Sergt.

the flag was returned to the treasury de-

THE CATTLE THIEVES CAPTURED.


AS before stated in these columns
warrants were issued some two weeks
since for the arrest OF parties who had
been stealing cattle from the range be-
tween Salmon and Snake rivers. Arm
ed with the warrants Frank Il. Wyatt,
John Hadorn, VIM. Shuck, Louis Sutton
and Fred Williamson started on the
trail and on the way were joined by
Tom Pollock, and the 30th of 'Septem-
Der came up with their men in Wallowa
county, Oregon. They not only found
the men but also found forty-five head
of cattle with them. Putting their pa.
pers into the hands of the sheriff Of
Wallowa county, they soon had three
men, IL. S. Pierce, C. c. Day and j. A.
Blevans, under arrest and started with
them for this county. Pierce watched
for an opportunity and on the second
day after his arrest suddenly took
French leave of the deputy who had
him in charge and quickly disappeared
in the brush, Notwithstanding two shots
that were fired at him by the officer.
The other two men were brought by
Messre. Austin, Burnapp and Warwick,
deputy sheriffs OF Wallowa county,
here and turned over to X. w. White
on Saturday afternoon. The prisoners
made no attempt to deny their guilt
and confessed, not only to the theft OF
the cattle found at the time of their
capture but Day also confessed to have
driven out a bunch in July, ii head Of
which were left in Wallowa county, the
remainder, SO head, being driven to
Walla Walla and sold for beef. The
preliminary examination was held before
g. b. Sanders on Saturday afternoon,
when the facts as above set forth were
educed.
A reward of 5000 has been offered for
the capture of Pierce and there is
scarcely doubt Of his ultimate appre-
hension. He is 80 years old. about Eve
feet eleven inches in height, weighs
about 100 pounds, dark hair, light mus
tache, brownish eyes. When talking
his eyes wink and blink. His mother
and two brother live near Salem, Ogn.
This will no doubt break up the gang
of thieves who have been operating in
this county for years past, robbipg our
stock men annually Of thousands OF
dollars worth of property.
The operations of this gang have
bold and on large scale, but good
long term in the penitentiary for those
apprehended will doubtless have salu-
tary effect upon those similarly inclined
who are still at large.

Stage Robbed.

Last Saturday morning while Warren
Buel was driving the up stage just above
Hills station on the Rocky Bar and
Mountain Home road, at point known
as "the DEVILS dive" he was called up
on by single individual to halt and
throw out the express box and letter
mail sack. He did as ordered. The
robber detained the stage until he had
broken open the express box and rifed
the mail sack of all registered matte',
and then placed the box and sack again
in the stage and ordered the driver to
move on. There was but one passen-
ger aboard-Miss Erickson of this place
who was not molested. The driver
saw but one person, but supposes that
be had confedcrates near by. The rob.
ber was masked and otherwise di guised
80 that the driver could not possibly
identify him. The express box con.
tanned no money, but there were three
registered letters in the mail sack-one
for Pine Grove and two for Atlanta
but their value has not yet been ascer-
tanned. In all probability the robber
secured several hundred dollars.
This is the first stage robbery that has
occurred on the Mountain Home line
for over two years, but AS the tide OF
prosperity is again flowing into this rich
mineral section, it is likely such occur
rences will be more frequent, and it be-
hooves all money and bullion shippers
to "look little out. ."-Eln,ore Bulletin.

THE COLLECTOR MUST RESIGN
Because We might Imagine that
Canada Mad Been Generous.

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 22.-The sensation Of
the day Is the disclosure that Collector Ross
OF Halifax, who Is an ex-member Of the
Privy Council OF Canada, has been summa-
rily dismissed for having some weeks ago
permitted the transshlpment Of the cargo Of
an American fishing vessel without authority
from the department here. The official or
der calls attention TO the lnjudIcious and un
authorized action of the Collector In permit
ting the vessel to enter for repairs when no
repairs were needed. and when. in fact. re-
pairs to the extent Of only 20 cents were
made. The report Of the special Ofieer who
investigated the matter shows that having
disposed OF the cargo, the schooner BatsOn
returned to the fishing banks for further
operations. The Minister reports that the
action Of the Collector was not only illegal
and unauthorized, but has been construed by
the United States Government as a surren-
der Of the contentious hitherto made by the
Canadian Government. This vie~ Of the
American authorities was, 10 Is alleged,
largely, due to the fact that the American
nsul-General called upon the Collector
and asked whether he was acting under in-
str9ctlons: The Collector gave such evasiye
replies as TO lead the Consul ul-General 20 be-
lieve that he was so acting, but desired 10
conceal his instructions. In closing his re-
port, the Minister Of Customs states: .In
view OF the facts / recommend that the Hon
William Ross be called upon 10 forward his
resignation as Collector OF Customs at Hail.

TWO BAD FIRES.
RockIand and Liberty Losers by the
Flames.

RocKLAND, Jan. 22.-The most disastrous
fire that has occurred In Rockland for years
broke out ats o'clock this morning in the
business portion of Main street. 1t origi-
mated in Dr. L. F. Bachelder's Office from a
defective iue. The fire spread to the ad-
joining rooms working up into the roof.
The block is known as the White and Will
son block, and adjoins the Thorndike Hotel.
The entire third and part of the second floor
were leased by the hotel people and fitted up
as rooms. The loss will approximate $4,000.
The lower floor was occupied by Rose Broth
ers, merchant tailors, Mrs. N. T. Sleeper.
milliner, W. +. McCross & Co., druggists.
The fire was not extinguished until 4
O'Clock this afternoon. A steamer was
brought from Thomaston and seven streams
were thrown. A strong Northwest wind
prevailed threatening the destruction OF ad-
joining blocks. The intense cold caused
the water to freeze almost as soon as it left
the nozzle. The lower floor was not invaded
by the flames but the stocks were ruined by
water. The insurance is as follows:
Block, owned by John s. Case and Albert
Reeves of New York, 5000.
Proprletors Of hotel $4,000.
Rose Brothers, tail0rs, $1,000.
Norcross Co., $4,000.
N. Il. Sleeper, miliner, $1,000.
Total, S25, 600.
The loss will exceed the insurance by $1,000
to $4,000.
