STAGE ROBBERY.
SAN FRAScIsco, Oct. 9. - The
stage between Linkville and Lake
view, Or, was robbed Wednesday
night by two men, about mile west
of Lakeview. The news came t.
this city by private dispatch from
the Linkville agent of Wells, Fargc
& Co.'s express. No details were
given beyond the fact that the ex-
press was robbed while the mail was
not touched. Instructions were i'm
mediately seat to the sheriff of Lake
county, in which the robbery oc-
cured, AS well as to several persons
IN that section of country who are
likely to aid in the capture of the
road agents. The stage was robbed
about year ago by Frank Williams,
an old.time road agent, who was
convicted of this and other robberies,
and Is now serving life sentence IN

Redding and Alturas has been
robbed three times during the past
few months, and 1t is suspected that
the same agents had hand in this

robberles did they secure anv treas
ure Of consequence.

pearing fellow with an advertising
scheme has been endeavoring To get

fair. A telegram sent by Commits
sioner Blalock to Chicago brought
the information that there was no
official organ, and the fellow de
camped on finding his game dis
covered.
A dozen such schemes are In the
field and the business nen of Tacoma
have lately been mulcted 10 the tune
Of about $1,000 by just such another
fake game. The Worlds Fair Advo-
cate is the high sounding title given
a pretended publication that Is not

and that is made up Of plate matter
Of the poorest quality. Wrlte-ups
given in this sheet are like SO much
written In the sand OF the seashore
at low tide.
