A CLEVER ROBBERY,
A Hack Driver Gets Hold of a
Person Who Turns Out to
Be a Robber.

An exceedingly clever piece Of
holding up was practiced on II hack
driver shortly after 3 o'clock Satur-
day morning, A well-dressed man
stepped up to VIII 5. Hiatt, who
drives for Gay 4 Noble, at the hack
stand in front of the Commercial
hotel, and asked to be driven up on
West Fifth street, Heinformed Mr..
Hiatt that he could not describe the
exact place he wanted to 20, and
would ride on the box and point out
the way.
Mr.. Hiatt drove upon West Fifth
street as directed, and when near a
small clunp Of trees observed two
men standing In the street. His
suspicious were aroused, and when
the men stepped aside, one ON each
side of the street, to let the hack 90
by, he remarked to hls passenger
that they evidently meant mischief.
MIR. Hiatt turned to look at the one
on his side of the vehicle, and when
he again turned to his companion
that individual had n cooked re-
volver within u foot OF his nose, and
coolly requested him Ia hand over
his watch and chain and any money
he might chance 10 have about him.
The other two mon stepped up,
and the the trio relieved Mr.. Hiatt
Of gold watch, chain and charm,
all of the value of $50, and few
dollars In change. He had a roll OF
greenbacks belonging to his en-
ployers in his vest pocket. and this
was overlooked by the robbers.
After committing the robbery the
three men told Mr. Hiatt to drive
on, which he did, and they walked
oil into the timber.

could Identify the man who hired
the hack. He believes, however,

YAKIMA CATTLE LOSSES.
a Reliable Estimate, Based ON re
port. OF Cattlemen.
Yakima Herald

The weather prophets all unite
now in stating that the backbone of
winter X broken. The leaden skies
have been vanished by the sun, and
the frost and snow Is fast giving
away to the spring mud. The win
ter has been Il hard one ON stock
and many of the largest cattlemen
have received blow from which IL
will take II number Of favorable sea-
sons to recover. To estimate the
per cent. of loss is difficult. sinipcs
Il Allen, L. j. Flint, Baxter & Shar-
key, and other large cattle raisers
will lose more than 80 per cent. of
their bands, while the loss of the
Mckee company and many of
those with few hundred head
who had plenty of feed will be COM
paratlvely light. 9he loss on differ
cnt ranges varied. The cattle on
the Mckee range doubtless suffered
the least, while the mortality ON the
Cowychce, Lower Yakima and
Horse Heaven ranges was the great
est. In the Natchecz, Wenns and
Ahtnnum valleys the cattle men
generally had sufficient feed but had
the severe weather lasled u week or
ten days longer AIT he hay In the
country would have been ex hausted
The loss falls principally on few,
AS the farmers with barn-yard stock
or small herds of range cattle manly
had ample provision for caring for
their stock, and their losses ARE
slight. With the commencement
of winter the estimate of range
cattle In the county was 2O,-
900. Roughly stated half of these
are now dead, and two.thirds OF
this loss will fall on less than hulf a
dozen men. II WAS the longest and
most trying winter since tho mem-
omblc one of lSsO-sl, when the cat
tie loss In the country footed up

Lyons, and had sold It TO Messrs.
Okner 4 Giede, sheepmen. On
Thursday, the 27th Of February, I
went with these parties to the hay
stack to show them the hay and
give them possession. The Wilson
brothers, armed with a Winchester
rifle and n Colts revolver, would not
let them have II, declaring that they
had a right to 1t, acquired from
the Messrs. Urquhart. When one
Of the Okner brothers advanced
toward the stack he was fired upon
twice by Virgil Wilson. I therupon
called upon the Okners and Gfede
to desist, which they did.
early next morning Mr.. Giede
mounted the stack with an old
musket, accompanied by Gus Okner,
whilst two Of my teams, requisi-
toned by Okner and Giede, helped
to haul away the hay, all being
wholly unarmed except Ben Giede.

another was ready when the Will

hired man, named Ed, came to the
assistance OF the elder Wilson and
belabored Giede with pltchfork on

wrestling the pistol away from
I Virgil, and shot the latter as he
was preparing 10 shoot with the
shotgun. He also shot l.. q. just
