He cannot make the turn at high speed,
and he must give his attention 10 his team
TO avoid an upset. Just as the coach

and without turning to see he knows that

tertainment by setting fire to the coach
and burning up 81 900 worth of the com
pany's property, besides runIiing away
with the horses, the stagemen concluded
! that the iron box scheme didn't pay.
Going through the mail sacks used to be
tedious job for road agent, and it didn't
often pay for the time wasted. Besides ii
doubled the number of pursuers by setting
all the United States marshals on the hunt
for the robber, and when caught it landed
him in the United States court and insured
heavy sentence.
Nevertheless, a great deal of money is
sent by mail, and for the convenience of
road agents and other thieves who may de-
sire to take the chance of being caught,
Uncle Sam invented the registered letter
and its especial pouch. No other reason
for the invention of the registered letter
system can be imagined. A registered let
ter is not insured, and Uncle Sam will not
pay for it if it is lost or stolen. The regis
tered mail is put into little pouch, which
is put inside of the ordinary mail sack.
When the road agent gets hold of a mail
sack he rips it open, either by running his
knife around the sack near the bottom or
by making two slashes crisscross in one
side of the sack. Thanks to Uncle Sans
kind consideration and foresight, he isn't
obliged to ransack a thousand letters, but
finds all the valuable mail sorted out and
neatly done up in an easily portable pouch,
which he takes a Alg to open at his leisure
In the brush.
OF all the devices and inventions for the
protection of treasure and the circumven-
tion of the road agent the only one that
has stood the test of time and experience is
a big, ugly tempered man with a sawed off
shotgun on the box. OF course, when the
other fellow has the drop a shotgun is Of
no more use than piece of lead pipe; bIs
the lone road agent can't watch a lot of
passengers and driver and at the same
time keep the drop on a man who has been
hired TO shoot him full Of holes and only
wants half a chance TO do it. If the robber
gets the drop on the messenger and keeps
it and contents himself with ordering the
driver to throw out the box he may win.
but it is the business of the man with
the sawed off shotgun not to let him get
the drop, but to blaze away as soon as he
shows up.
The gun is sawed off for the greater con-
veniGnce of the messenger in potting road

scatters like a charge of bribery fred into
a California legislature. The length of
the gun is such that when the muzzle rests
upon the footboard the locks are even with
the messengers knee, and he can swing it
up itto position very readily. If he gets
it pointed anywhere near the robber soma
of the buckshot are sure to hit.
An old Nevada drivers modification of
the messengers gun was single barreled
shotgun worn in his right boot, the muz-
zle protruding through the bottom near
the heel. When held up he stuck out his
leg toward the robber, as if he were feeling
for the brake, and pulled the trigger. but
one hand was required to work the gun
and the effect was something IN the line Of
painful surprise.

quarrel that led to the serious wounding
and possible death of Newton Baker at the
hands of OrvilIe M. Anderson. An ex-
tremely complicated affair it was too
Two families living in one house, on a
merely verbal lease, with no clear under
standing of yard and fruit privileges, one
family boasting of its extremely northern
views" and the other of its southern
surely they must have been very inexpe-
rienced to ever believe that they could live
long without fight.
Orville NJ. Anderson is thirty-one years
old and unmarried, living with his mother
and sister-Mlss Lillian. They came from
Louisville on account of a consumptive
tendency in the young people, and one
daughter is already buried at Croton Land
ing. Last spring the Andersons rented
half of their large house to Mr.. Newton
Baker, private secretary of the renowned
agnostic, Col. Robert G.. Ingersoll. The
men agreed perfectly at the start; the
women talked politics" So the Ander-
sons requested the Bakers to remove,
which the latter refused to do before the
end of the year, unless reimbursed for
their trouble.
Then the war was on. The men met at
the depot and quarreled. Each said the
other motioned to draw pistol A few
evenings later they met on the road and
Mr.. Baker was shot. But no one knew the

In the hands of road agent entirely
! great fence picket is as mighty as a two
shot scatter gun. The Gilroy stage was
toiling up long hill at dusk some years
ago when the driver saw something white
futteying Just ahead, and his leaders
stopped with their breasts against rope
stretched across the road. A handker-
chief was fiuttering from the center of the
road. The driver put on the brake, and
then somebody standing by tree at the
side of the road told him to throw down
the box He glanced toward the person
who spoke and saw masked man point
ing something at him He threw down
the box, the masked man cut the rope and
told him to drive on, and the stage went
on its way The next day the officers
found the broken express box, the rope
and an old fence picket in the road, but
TREY never found the masked man.
The express box is the main attraction
for the road agent, and sometimes it is an
affection to his soul In the natural order
of things it ought to contain wealth, but
the heartless express companies sometimes
load it with bricks and cause great loss of
time and anguish of spirit to an industri-
GUS and painstaking robber When rob
berries were the rule and safe trips the ex-
ception in California the express compa-
MES invented the dummy box and worked
it off frequently on the enterprising agent,
but the joke didn't last long. The agent
acquired the habit of bursting the box in
the presence of the driver and then pro-
fanely requesting him to hand out the
other box, and no blanked foolishness. AS
the drivers weren't hired to be shot they
discouraged the use of the dummy box,
and it was abandoned by all well regulated
lines, although it was worked in occasion
ally on some amateur robber. When Budd
Philpot was driving the Lakeport stage
robber held him up, and Budd cheerily
tossed out an empty box belonging to the
Great Western mine ana drove along with
the Wells, Fargo box safely slowed under
his feet.
The scheme of building an iron box into
the body of the coach worked for a time,
but the road agents beat that game by
sending the driver and passengers along
the road afoot and breaking into the box
at their leisure with cold chisels. AS
they usually concluded the evenings en-
