The Safe Robbery.

The men arrested for robbing the
safe at the U. P. depot, Bellevue, an
account of which was given in last
issue, were discharged from custody
yesterday by Justice Redsull. The
examination was going from Mon
day morning till Tuesday evening.
Eleven witnesses were examined
and the recorded testimony covers
nearly 100 folios. The prosecution
was conducted by District Attorney
Waters. and the defense by N. M.
Ruick. Every possible scrap of
evidence was brought before the
court, and the examination of wit
nesses was rigid and thorough, but
the Justice held that sufficient evil
dence to convict had not been pro-
duced, and ordered release of the
prisoners. The names of defend
ants are Frank Clark, James E.
Nash, James WEIGH and Edward
Dale. After their discharge three
of them started out on foot for
Clayton, whittier they were bound
when arrested on the road three
miles north of Ketchum. The
fourth one will go south, and will
get to Salt Lake, if possible, to un-
iergo treatment for a physical dis
ability.-Bellevue Herald.

ROBERT KoN1NGER and William
Buster knocked over a couple of
young bears the other day and held
a high old feast over the unfortu-
nate sons of the forest. assisted by
several friends, last Sunday. Ko-
ninger and Buster were up about
a hay ranch on Lake creek when
they ran against the old mother
and her cubs. She showed fight,
and there was race up and down
the creek for two hours, the two
men, not having any arms at first,
trying to break them up with rocks
and clubs. They climbed trees and
fell down hills, and the old bear
chewed gum and vengeance; but at
last they got shotgun and pelted
the outfit so desperately that the
old one went off on a point of rocks
and watched the destruction of the
young ones. They were brought in
with great triumph and duly sacri-
feed to the Teutonic gods. Some
parties here have been looking for
the mother, but without success.

Diseases OF Men,

While some may question the propriety
of an institution like the Liebig World Dis
pensary of San Francisco treating such dis
eases, and some would neartlessly consign
unfortunate sufferers to miserable lives of
torture and premature death, yet DR., Liebig
& Co. feel that life to the erring is as dear,
and pain as severe, as to those whose sins
have not found them out, or those who suf-
fer from unavoidable diseases. All reputa-
BILE physicians treat such cases (even with
out proper facilities); why should not they
when prepared? The sad lesson and their
penitence, as with the prodigaI son, brings
many hayward yet noble youth to life
of rectitude; and whatever some of the
Pharisaical and fastidious may think of this
matter they propose to initiate the good
Samaritan, and though they have been in
hard luck and fallen in bad company, DR..
Liebig & Co., 400 Geary ST., San Francisco,
will care for them, and then say, go; sin
no more" The Liebig Dispensary Staff Ply
stefan Of San Francisco will be at the Depot
Hotel, Pocatello, August 26; at The Altu-
ras," HALEY, August 9th to August Goth
at P. NJ; at The Overland" Boise City,
