He Successfully Hides Many Valuable
and Battles Train Robbers.
GUTHRIE o. T., May 1.-THE skill with
which the Wells Fargo express car of the
Santa Fa train was robbed last night was
only excelied by the skill with which the
messenger guarded the property in his
charge.
When the robbers boarded the train at
Wharton the messenger was looking out OF
his car, and seeing what was going on, i'm
medlately closed and locked the doors and
then commenced to hide the money and
valuables in his keeping in places of safety
where they would escape detection by the
robbers.
While the bandits were detaching the en-
CINE and express car from the rest OF the
train and were running it to the place
where the robbery occurred two miles dis
tant, the messenger disposed of most of the
qaluables in places Of safety. Then he
locked the sale. When the robbers ap-
peared at the door Of the express car he
made show ofresistance, but finally ad-
mittcd them.
They Immediately made for the SAFE and
demanded that it be opened. With 1eigned
reluctance the messenger opened it and at
the command OF the leader handed out the
contents, among which was package of
worthless papers which he told the robbers
was valuable package Of money. The
most of the money had becd hidden in the
search the robbers overlooked that hiding
place. but STUN led on a package of $500.
and, finding nothing else of value, they
made their escape.

LABOR CIRCLES

NEARLY one thousand dock laborers at
Ashtabula harbor, Ohio, have struck
against reduction of wages.
AT Milwaukee settlement of the stone
cutters strike has been effected and this is
apparently the beginning of the end of the
trouble in the building trades.
STRIKING quarrymen near St. Louis drove
the negroes who had taken their places
away from two quarries and carried off all
the tools.
NORMALLY general strike Of the union
carpenters in Milwaukee was inaugurated
but in reality the strike had very little eff
tect on the labor situation. Many carpen-
tiers were idle before the strike was declared.
THREE thousand on union men are at
work in the coke region Of Pennsylvania,
and it is thought that unless the strikers
return to work soon the $4,000 men still
idle i'll the region will be forced from their
work, homes, and even the region.
NEARLY 1000 dock laborers at Ashtabula
Harbor, o.; struck against reduction of
wages. The men spent the day in parading.
They have committed no acts of violence
as yet, but say they will permit no one to
take their places.
SEVENTEEN hundred journeymen cigar
makers employed in Chicago went OH
strike for an increase of pay. About one
half of the manufacturers conceded the
demands of the union. In all such shops
the men returned to work at once With
the firms which have refused the increased
pay the fight will be kept up as long as it
is possible to maintain it.

BY-THE-WAY.

The oft-reiterated assertion that Cali
fornia is destined eventually to become
the Athens of America, and soon to
rival the literary centers of the east,
can hardly fail at present to be regarded
with suspicion. 1t may be that in our
literary soil, enriched by the blood and
tears of three conquered peoples,
plant is even now rooted which will one
day flower uniquely. But certainly that
flower has not yet appeared, nor is
there any present sign of it. California
contains some writers of talent, but
none of genius, unless the bette noir OF
the Women's Press association be ex-
cepted.
A brief consideration of the magazines
and other periodicals of the state will
demonstrate this fact, and also the uni
versal lack of that literary quality which
characterizes the standard publications
of the east.
sldered the principal magazine of the
state. But, although now and then it
contains something of value, its pages
are for the most part mere weary wastes
OF verbiage, diversified, but hardly bet
illustrate nothing except its own inn
potency.
The Argonaut has some clever con-
tributors, notably Charles D. Willard,
but otherwise does not compare with
kindred publications elsewhere.
San Francisco's great daily, the Ex-
aminer, has distinct literary value due
principally to the unique productions of
Ambrose Bierce. The wit, the pungent
satire, the polished and inimitable style
of this man are an oasis grateful to the
soul amid the arid waste OF contempt
rary cackle. But-fortunately for the
Womens Press association-there is
but one Bierce.
W.
The new Californian Magazine is an
attempt to give the state something
more worthy of its resources. The
initial number, so eagerly expected, is
in some ways disappointment. For,
while it is well printed, Is illustrated by
excellent examples of process-work, and
contains much good material, yet it so
for it by the publishers-that of "a
magazine of general literature, of inter
est not only to readers on the Pacific
slope, but to those of the world" 1t is
precisely in these directions that the
magazine falls short of expectations. 1t
contains little of value except to those
interested in the Pacific slope, and
lacks that literary finish and unity
which ought to characterize magazine
of it's pretensions.

was that the city council, after telling
me that they could sell the sewage at a
much cheaper rate than they were now
selling pure water, made me PROPOSE
ton offering me the sewage at a price
two and half times greater than their
present charges for pure water.
Mr.. DockWeiler says l admit that the
city has the right to force a way tor the
sewer through my property. In this he
is mistaken. | am advised that the city
council has no authority to do this.
But admitting for the sake OF argument
that the city council can and does con-
denim a right of way to the ocean
through my land, and / do not see mt to
use the water, how are they going TO
reach the "land south OF me" where
Mr.. Dockweiler says that the owners
want the sewage? My land extends
about two miles south of the proposed
sewer line, and if the law does give the
council the right to condemn lands Tor
the outfall sewer, it certainly does not
give the right to condemn right OF way
for private pipe line across my land to
the south, for the benefit of landowners
south of me. This proposition OF theirs
is too absurd to require notice.
Mr.. Dockweiler's legal opinion that II
there is better line to the sea for the
sewer than the one through my prop
erty, the burden Of proof of showing
that this is SO, and pointing out such
line, rests upon me, shows knowledge
of sewage law, and of the onus probandi
so profound and deep that / am not
able at this time to do more than call
attention to it.
Mr.. Dockweiler gives as his principal
reason for wanting to run his sewer over
my land that by so doing he can irrl-
gate the largest possible acreage. How
is he to do this, ii L do not use the
water, in the face of the fact that under
no possible construction OF the law can
right of way for lateral irrigating pipes
be obtained across my property?
