ONLY ROBBED THE PASSENGERS
Road Agents Who Were COnsiderate OF Wells,

Fort Ross, May l7.--Last night burglars
broke into a house here and stole two guns.
This morning they stopped the stage five
miles east of here and robbed five passen-
gers. They shook the EXPRESSION and,
thinking it had no coin in IT, they did not
open it.
SANTA Rosa, May 17-There were two
highwsymen, and they were evidently new
10 the business. as they forgot 10 ask for the
EXPRESSION. No further particulars Of the
robbery have been received at the Sheriff
office. The officers are still on the hunt fer
the robbers, but with small chance Of finding
them.
Detective James b. Hume of the Wells
Fargo Express Company was seen yester-
day afternoon IN relation 10 the robbery,
and in response TO an inquiry handed the
reporter a dispatch from the express agent
at Fort Ross Identical with the one printed
above.
Upon receipt of this dispatch" said Mr.
Hume, Il at once telegraphed to Sheriff
Stanley At Uklan TO spare no exeFtl0ns to
capture the robber l also wired the Sheriff
at Santa Rosa 10 the same effect As the
crime was committed in SonOma County
the arrest of the TObbeT comes under the
latter Sheritf's Jurisdiction.
"The express company viii probably take
no action in the matter, as 1t lost nothing
and the passengers only were robbed. The
case will 10 doubt be left TO the local
authorities to work up. Mr.. Thacker is up
in Shasta County working on the recent
hold-up there, and / am too busy to absent
myself from the Office Just at present How

particulars of the crime. 1t all depends
upon the nature Of the adYices.
Il have the greatest confidence in the
ability Of Sheriff Stanley of Mend0cino
County TO handle the case. He has figured
conspicuously in terTeung out similar crimes
heretofore and has met with the greatest
success in bringing the offenders to justice.

Of Sonoma County. but undoubtedly he will

 The adjourned meeting of the board of education was attended last evening by every member.
 The Rev Father Mulcahy as chairman of the committee on teachers presented the committees report on the filling of vacancies and the appointment of as- sistant teachers. To the vacancy in the Elm street school, caused by the resigna- tion of Miss N. F. Tiffany, the commit tee recommended the appointment of Miss M. E.

HlBERNIAN RIFLES,
Dissatisfaction Over Appointments on
 Colonel McGovern's Staff.

Dissatisfaction Over Appointments on Colonel McGOvern's Staff.
 The Bridgeport Farmer says that the staff appointments of Colonel McGovern of the Hibernian Rifles may cause strained relations among some of the officials of the regiment, if not indeed throughout the order. Of the nine ap- pointments six are from Hartford and three from New Haven, and the dis
 satisfied members in other parts of the
 state are attaching significance to this fact. Col P. McGovern is associated
 with Governor Bulkeley in the Atna Life Insurance company and is ambi- tious politically. Indeed he is looked upon in Hartford as Governor Bulkeley's right hand man, but despite this fact he got badly beaten in the race for the mayoralty last spring. Several of his appointees are politicians or ex-office holders and all are said to be in touch with the powers that be on both sides.
 It is true that they are all men of high
 standing in the communities in which they reside as well as being men of
 wealth, but the dissaffected ones are
 shaking their heads and thinking things Colonel McGovern will shortly get up
 a petition to the legislature requesting that the various Hibernian companies
 of the state be permitted to camp at Mantle three days each summer.

She called at the DEMOCRAT office last evening, having read the article about her alleged dis appearance, taken from a Bridgeport paper, and told her story. She said that upon reaching Bridgeport Sunday night, and learning that no train for Waterbury would leave until the next day, she inquired for lodging place and was directed to respectable house, where she remained over night, by a young man. Her companion, 8 chance acquaintance of the trip from New York to Bridgeport, refused to go to the lodging house and must have reported to the police that Miss Butler had beer abducted.

 tai and physical labor. It is natural food for every Brain Work CT. It will enable every professional or business man to think better and clearer to prolong his application to severe study and labor with less exhaustion. Every laboring man can do his work bet for and more easily, and with less exhaus- ! tion and at less cost, with this as his daily food.
 Q It surpasses all the specially prepared foods, and when properly cooked, with or without milk, it has no equal as a food for infants.
