THE PAST WEEK.


THE PAST WEEK,
Daring Stage Robbery in California-Bad
Accident at Coney Island = Mysterious
Murder at Fall River-Duquesne Strike
at an End-New York Building Trades
Strike Settled.
The fifth bold train robbery in the San
Joaquin Valley in three years occurred
early Thursday morning near the small
station of Coils, 15 miles from Fresno,
Cal. There were only two robbers, and
their method of procedure was precisely
as in the previous cases, except that they
had a free field for work. They showed
that they were experts, and after rapidly
breaking in the express car door with
dynamite bombs they secured between
$4,000 and $4,000, jumped into wagon
and struck off across the plains. The
detectives were on their trail in few
hours, and though they selected one of
the lopeliest places on the line, and they
showed perfect knowledge of the coun-
try, they were run down Sunday and
captured. 1t was found they were two
ranchmen who had before been above
suspicion. The sheriff had to threaten
to kill any man who molested the prison
ers in order to prevent other members of
the posse from lynching them.

recently taken by the Canadian govern

capitalists who have been furnishing the
means for carrying on the traffic have
ceased making further advances. This
will have the effect of paralyzing the
trade so far as carried on by organized
| syndicates, but individuals, schooner
