A Lone IElgi,wayman

MoKELuMSE HILL, Cal Feb THE
stage to Valley Springs was stopped bya
highwayman this morning about four miles
from this place at the same spot where the
stage was stopped January 7. The robber
was masked witha gnnnysack. The man
was about five feet ten inches in height,
dressed in dark clothing and his voice
soouded the same to the driver as that of
the former highwayman. The driver was
ordered to throw out the express box. The
only passenger was a young man named
Mailles, who was asked by the road-agent if
he had any money in his pockets. Answer
ing in the negative, nothing more was said,
and, the box being thrown out, the driver
was ordered to 90 on.

MYSTERIOUS HANGING.

Prominent Brewer Found Dangling FROM
Limb.
SAN JOSH. CAL, Nov. 11.-Henry Planz.
manager OF the Fredericksburg brewery.
was found hanging to tree this morning.
His hands were tied behind his back, his
feet tied together, and a handkerchief tied
over his mouth. The ground near the tree
showed evidence OF severe struggle. The
affair ia shrouded in a mystery. The body
was not robbed. 4@a
From investigation made by officers 1t is
learned that Planz attended tine tneater
last night and went to saloon alone. ana
was seen about midnight by Henry Juvenai,
whom Planz told he was going home.
Planz lodged about mile from the center
of town, quarter of mile from his brew
cry. The route is through rather thiniy
populated district. The theory now is that
Planz was attacked by two or three men
and killed and robbed before hanged and
that the tragedy occurred forty or fifty feet
from the tree where he was found hanging.
1t is supposed the men threw rope around
his neck from behind with sliding loop
and strangled him. His pockets were all
turned inside out, but his watch and scarf
pin were afterwards found in his room.
only his sleeve buttons and pocket money
being missing. He was hung on limb
eleven feet from the ground. The rope
around his neck was wrapped four or i've
times around the limb but not tied. The
body was found by the night yardman at

THE FLATHEAD VALLEY.

THE FLATHEAD VALLEY.
The Flathead valley, ten years ago an

savage and wild beast, to-day is the

put OF Kansas, Iowa CT the Dakotas,
and is the o1ly section west of the Miss.

bra ed Red River Valley of the North in
the superior quality Of it's cereals. 1t is
the only agricultural section in the state
OF Montana where crops can be raised
without irrigation. Vegetables OF all
kinds are grown il abundance, while
apples, plums, peaches, cherries, pears,
and the small fruits such as strawber-
ries, blackberries, goosehe rles, raspber-
res are being la;sed successfully. With
a ready market for all products OF the

east, west d south, the farmers of thu
Flathead valley will soon be classed
among the wealthiest and most influen-
| all of this new countrr. Wheat averages
| thirty five bushels per acre, oats sixty
bushels, barley forty bushels, rye thirty
bushels, potatoes 400 bushels cabbFge
ten tons per acre, rutabagas thir y tons
per acre.

rivers, with tn ,ir hume -ous br anches,
making total of over tO) miles OF log

Kalispell, flow through vast forests OF
pine, tamarack, fir, larch aad cedar.
Under the recent law enacted by con-
gress these boundless tracts of timber
land can be purchased at $3.50 per acre.
According to the state auditors report,

In Spiteful Revenge,

WASHINGTON, Nov. lit is understood
the policy to be pursued by the administra-
tion in regard to filling existing vacancies
in the civil service was the principal sub
ject considered at to-day's cabinet meeting.
1t was recalled to- day that just before 60
ing out of Office in 1889 Cleveland made
rulings of the classified service which put
further limitations upon the patronage
turned over to Harrison. For some months
Harrison has been considering the ques-
tion of also placing the bureau Of engrav-
ing and printing and the government print
ing Office within the classified service. 1t
is said he has decided to do this and when
the democrats come into power they will
will find the civil service rules extended to
these other branches of the service.

THE LEAGUE OF PROGRESS.
An Interesting Meeting of tho Board
Central Last Night.

An Interesting Meeting of tho Board of
Control Last Night.
The board of control Of the League Of
Progress held its semi-monthly meeting
last night.
1t was very animated and highly inter-
estiDg gathering.
These meetings are executive, but from
the officers aud members of the committee
it was learned that many important ques-
tons were discussed.
Secretary Taylor said after the meeting
adjourned that he had instructions enough
to keep him busy for week.
The question of why the Spring Valley
Water Company discrimnates in its rates
between the people living in the city and
the vessels in this port was brought up.
The shippers complain OF high rates, and
there seems to be no reason why they
should be compelled to pay more for their
water than the shore people.
Tie gas compaDy's rates and methods
also came in for their share Of attention.
Waterfront troubles were generally de-
bated, and among them the differences eX-
listing between the shippers and Sailors
Union seemed to be the principal topic.
This led to a brief discus sion on labor
unions in general and their effect on the
trades Of San Francisco.
Politics came next, but the members of
the committee only cared TO talk in general
ities as far as that subject was concerned.
They say the league will take no action in
the coming election, except as far as ad-
yslng its members how to vote indiYid-
ually.
A public meeting will be held shortly,
probably Immediately after election.
