The Champion Stage Stopped by a
Lone Highwayman in Browns
Gulch.
He Had q Soft Musical Voice
and Carried q Win
chester.
Tho Lady Passenger WAS not Disturbed
but the Men had to Deliver
Their valuAbles.

BUTTE, Sept. 10.-[Special. when the
Champion stage reached this city this after
noon the driver announced that he had
been held up and robbed with all due form
and ceremony while coming down Browns
gulch. When the stage left Champion this
morning it had on board the driver, Andy
Granger, Daniel Mooney and a lady whose
name the driver did not know. They logged
along without thought Of danger, sup
posing as matter of course that stage rob-
berries were part of the misty past and had
gone out vf date with the advent of the
iron horse. They were doomed, however,
to rude awakening, with all the time hon
ored accompaniments of masks, ambush
and the careless handling of deadly weapons.
When coming down Browns gulch, and
about sixteen miles from the city, MIR,
Granger was startled by the sudden APP
pearance of a masked man at the roadside
who demanded an instantaneous uplifting
of hands. As this demand was backed by
q Winchester it passed current and the
hands went up. The lady was not disturbed
as the robber had all the chivalrous attri-
butes of Claude Duval. But he made the
men climb down out of the wagon
without exhibiting much feeling for their
sufferings and when once on the ground they
were ordered to take off their coats and
vests and place them ON the ground in
front of the bandit king. This they did
and then retreated out of reach while their
valuables we're being transferred. to the
possession of another. As soon as he was
satisfied that he had all their loose effects
he ordered both of the men to take up their
clothing and get out of there with all speed,
which order was cheerfully obeyed. Mr..
Granger lost valuable gold watch and
chain and $40 in money, while Mr.. Mooney
lost only 81, all in cash. According to the
best description that the victims could give
their. hold-up was young man Of about
medium height and build. with brown hair.
His voice was described as being peculiarly
soft and musical and not at all what would
naturally have been expected from 90 des-
perate q villain. He wore mask and a
pair of common goggles. Sheriff Lloyd has
party in pursuit, but notification came 20
late he has little hope Of finding his man.

A STRONG CANDIDATE.
MIR. Perry w. Meadow Nominated for the
Senate by Fergus Democrats.

Mr.. Perry w. Meadow Nominated for the
Senate by Fergus Democrats.
LEWISTON, Sept. 10. Especial. The
nomination of Perry w. Meadow, of Mai
den, for state senator by the democratic
county convention on Saturday last, has in
spired the democrats Of Fergus county with
confidence of victory again in November
next. Mr.. Meadow is one Of the best
known and most popular of Montana's q
pioneers, and has hosts of friends in the
county. He has done great deal to de-
velop the mining resources Of the county
and to make them known to the outside
world. His nomination is admitted even
by republicans to be the strongest the dem
ocrats could have made, and with thorough
work there can be no doubt of his election
over his opponent, MIR. Baylis. The resolu-
tions adopted by the convention are as fol-
lows:
Resolved, That we pin our faith absolute
~ to the democratic party as laid down i'll
our national and state conventions.
That we denOunce in the strongest terms
the actions of the republican party in the
outrageous steal In precinct 81 and COM
mend the attitude and manly exertions of
Maginnis and Clark in upholding the rights
of the party.
That we heartily endorse the action of
Hon. C. j. McNamara and Hon. j. X.
Bafrows, as our senator and representative
in maintaining the rights of our party.
That we regard as disgraceful to the state
and to the nation the fact that w. f. San
ders and L. G. Power obtained their seats
as senators through the manipulations of a
corrupt administration in uphoIding u
fraudulent count.
That we pledge our full support to the
nominee of this and the state convention.

CnAUNCEY AND THE CENTRAL.
He Did Not Run Away FROM the Strike
ON Account of Politics.

New YoRK, Sept. 10.-The White Star line
steamer ,Teutonic, from Liverpool, was
sighted outside the bar at 7:O5 q. m. The
1nman line steamer City of New York, from
Liverpool, was sighted east of the lightship
at 9:4 q. m. Two steamers went down the
bay to meet the Teutonic. one with party
to meet Depew, the other to meet Arch-
bishop Corrigan, who was on board. They
were taken off without waiting for the Teu-
tonic to reach her pier. Among the first to
welcome Depew were General Manager
Toucey and Vice. President Webb, of tho
New York Central road. Depew was con-

THESE BE HOOsIERs

OF the Republican Variety, and they Com
mend the Elder Harrison.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 1O.-The republican
state convention met this morning. Hon
r. w. Thompson, ex-secretary of the navy
was made permanent chairman. He spoke
at length in review of the history
of the republican and democratic parties
the tariff, etc. The platform was then
adopted. 1t endorses the administration o1
President Harrison and Speaker Reed; con.
demns the democratic doctrine of free trade
favors reciprocity; approves the silver bill;
tavors the Lodge bill; opposes alien owner
ship of land, and demands laws to prevent
food adulteration; denounces trusts and
combinations; favors reasonable river
and harbor improvements; denounces
the white cap outrages; demands
''local option and approves of the
original package bill; demands the election
of United States senators by popular vote.
Every reference to Reed was greeted with
prolonged applause. A resolution was
adopted authorizing the secretary of the
convention to send congratulatory tele-
gram to Thomas 3. Reed, formerly of
Maine, but now of the United States.' The
plank endorsing Harrison is as follows:
1--WE endorse the administration of Ben
jamin Harrison and the able statesmen
selected as his co-laborers and advisers, as
being wise. vigorous and patriotic. It has
kept the pledges made to the people; it has
carefully guarded and Zealously promoted
their welfare and the elevation of the con-
dition of the public service. We approve
the action of the republicans in congress
under the brilliant leadership of Thomas b.
Reed. They have again proved that the re-
publican party can be relied upon to meet
once more demonstrated its capacity for in
telligent and patriotic government
The tariff plank reaffirms belief in the
republican doctrine of protection to Ameri-
can industries and commends the policy of
reciprocity proposed in congress with the
pending tariff legislation.
For auditor, F. Walker was nominated;
Milton Trussler for secretary of state;
George A. Pixley for treasurer; Judge of
supreme court, Il. w. Mcbride; attorney
general, John w. Lovett; clerk of supreme
court, w. T. NaRle.
For statistician, John Warrell, Hendricks
county; superintendent of public instruc-
tion, james Henry, Morgan county; state
geologist, James NJ. Coulter, Hamilton
county.
The convention was one of the largest
and most harmonious ever held by Indiana
republicans. Only one place on the ticket
-treasurer-reQuired more than one ballot
and the contest in this case was settled with
out acrimony. References in speech to
Reed, Blaine and Harrison were loudly
applauded, the first named probably receiv-
ing the greatest share of loud-clapping en-
dorsement.

"MY LETTER Is FINAL"
And Still Some R,ople in Washington
Think Garter VIII Accept

And still Some H,ople in Warrington
Think Carter Will Accept
WARRINGTON, Sept. 1O-[Special. ]-As the
Montana republican convention is to be
held tomorrow, a last effort was made to-
day to secure the consent Of Representative
Carter to allow his name to be used. A. J.
Seligman, of the republican committee,
telegraphed him to-day that every county
in the state had instructed for him, and
asking authority to say that Carter would
accept nomination. Mr.. Carter to-day
sent Seligman the following telegram:
''Your telegraphic announcement Of in
tention to nominate me by acclamation is
before me. Believing it unwise and impol-
itic. if not unfair, to select the whole con-
gressional delegation Of our great state
from one neighborhood, respectfully re-
quest you to announce that my letter
is final and will not be Withdrawn.
earnestly urge my friends to avoid the
embarrassment which would be incident to
my declining nomination would GER
tainly decline. Ever alive to their interests
and true to their friends, the ceople of
date to congress this fall by an increased
majority.
''T. II. CARTER"
Although this telegram seems to sound
final, yet there are number of Washing
ton politicians who believe that Carter will
not only be nominated, but that there will
be sufficient pressure to make him sccent.
Representative Carter to day received a
dispatch from Fred Dubois of Idaho, say
ing that he had billed Carter for week of
speeches in northern Idaho. Carter says
he will be unable to make any campaign in
the far west. The republicans want him
here in Washington where he has been do
ing some work for the party. Carterbays
Idaho is safely republican.

his acceptance will, it 10 believed. bring the
desired result. A few think that final

it is likely that struggle for the nomina-
tion may follow between Hartmann, Eaton
and dark horse.

The Helena Man Can Have the Nom
ination if He Will
Take it.
Again He Sends Word From
Washington That His Declina-
ton is Final.
And Still There Arc Many People Who
Believe the Letter Has
String to 1t.

BUTTE, Sept. 1o.-[special.]-1t will be
Carter if he will have it; if not. either
Eaton or Hartman. This evening Carter's
declination is viewed like the answer of the
coy maiden who says no and means yes,
bat his wishes will be definitely known be-
fore the convention meets at noon to-mor-
row. A caucus of delegates is now in SEES
sion to get the sentiment of the convention
concerning Mr.. Carter's candidacy. II .
unanimity for his nomination is expressed
the offer will be telegraphed, and an an
swer from Washington is expected before
tomorrow noon. The delegations from all
counties here tonight are solid for Carter
because all believe he is the strongest man.
The one prominent exception is George d.
Green, who, with old Bob Fisher, of Jeffer-
son county, leads the delegation. He is a
prominent lawyer of Boulder, and we'll
known party leader. He said to me this
evening: 'I will vote against Mr..
Carter because do not believe he
should be nominated. When he declined q
nomination, his declination should be &C.
accepted. 1t is wrong for him to dodge the
issue, and then again think his nomina-
tion would be a tacit admission that he is
the only man we imagine can win for u.s..
Fisher, who was to-day unanimously re-
nominated for senator in Jefferson, is very
happy over his prospect of running. He is
for Carter against every other man that
may be nominated, and the jefferson dele
cation is with him. The Park county dele
cation, headed by w. G. Eaton. is the only
one pledged for Carter, though the others
