gx GIRL BANDITS
1asy Aided Their Father In aHolding
Up Treasure Coaches.

SALloN CRY, Idaho, April IA few
DAYS ago the fact Of the numerous stage
.soldups in this part Of the country was
noted and the belief expressed that sem
sational developments would follow the
working Of clew which the sheriff was
following. These developments have
come and there now boards with the
sheriff man and seven women, or
rather one woman and six girls. The
belief was strong that old man Harvey
and his family were responsible for the
numerous robberies and this belief has
now become q certainty, for the girls
were caught in the act by a clever
scheme worked BY the officials. II was
found that the stages were robbed after
they had left Harvey's. An east going
stage would be robbed east Of Harvey's,
while west going one would be help
mp ON this side.
In one Of the places where the robber-
les were done the sheriff, with ten men,
waited while the stage stopped at the
house, with instructions for the driver
to give signs Of fear of robbery, because
he carried money box. The bait took,
and when the stage people were eating
dinner the girls disappeared, and soon
the sheriff and his party in ambush saw
six Young men sneak into the little
canyon, and hide themselves close to
the road. When the stage came along
the bandits went forth and stopped it at
the point Of their guns, but the sheriff
was also there and took in the whole
gang, who proved to be the girls who
had left the house. When the arrest
was made one of the girls weakened and
told the whole story. She said she never
liked the work and was glad they were
caught. They were trained to it by
their father and mother, and the pro.
ceeds were shipped east for sale so AZ
not to excite suspicion in the country.

PENNSYLVANIA OUTLAWS
The Murderous Moonshiners sHll at
Large IN the Mountains.

Large IN the mountains.
SOMERSET, Pa, April 4. Sheriff Good
and his posse OF twenty-five men, who
have been securing the surrounding
country for thirty-six hours in search OF
the moonshiners, w. @. Miller and
William Pritz. who killed old man
Hochstettler, have returned here, being
unable to locate their men. Revenue
Agent Culbertson Is expected to arrive
here soon and to at out an expedition
peculiarly fitted for the capture Of the
moonshiners.
Sheriff Good says it is impossible to
capture the moonshiners with large
body of men. The outlaws have many
friends in the mountains, and are so
familiar with the country that it is no
trouble for them to find hiding places
within d short distance of their pur-
suers. It is learned that they intend
to kill young Hochstettler, nephew of
Jonathan Hochstettler, and young
Beals, who witnessed the bloody crime.
If the moonshiners succeed in carrying
ont this threat it is said they will then
surrender to the authorities. It has
come to light that there at least thirty
illicit distilleries operating in tine noun
tains of this and Fayette county. The
moonshiners are organized In a society
called the ..Fruendschoft.

NEW ORLEANS, April New Or
leans was visited yesterday by two Of
the worst fires in the city's history.
Eleven blocks Of buildings were de-
stroyed, involving loss Of $3,0Ou,O00.
Both fires were the result Of carelessness
and would have been trivial but for the
exceeding dryness, which was the result
VI long drouth. high wind and the
inadequacy Of the fire department. The
latter was reorganized in january from
the volunteer to the paid department
system, and the number Of firenen was
reduced about nine.tenths. The first
fire started in q pile Of cotton In front Of
the fireproof compress, at the corner Of
Robin and Front streets. Some one
threw lighted cigarette in the pile.
which in few minutes were burning
fiercely. The flames quickly ate their
way into the compress building, where
IL, 500 bales of cotton were stored. The
air was soon filed with masses OF burn
ing cotton, which communicated the
flames to the adjacent structures. The
shippers cotton press, where &c, 900 bales
of cotton were stored, was the next to
60 and the Orleans compress, with % 900
bales, soon followed.
Three Firemen Fatally Hurt.
While the firemen were combating
the flames in the Orleans compress, the
walls suddenly gave way, and Captain
Dupree, Lieutenant Shaw and Pipeman
Bordeaux were buried in the ruins. All
were seriously and possibly fatally in
jured. The Independence cotton yards
had been engulfed, and the fire covered
an area Of five squares. The Baldwin
agricultural works and the Louisiana
rice mills, four squares distant, were
ignited BY the masses Of burning cotton
which filed the air, but after q hard
fight both buildings were srved without
serious loss.
Apanic prevailed in the vicinity Of the
| IRE, which was close to the residence
district and people living many blocks
distant began fleeing for their lives,
carrying what few belongings they
could gather up in their haste. There
were also destroyed In the cotton district
several minor buildings.
The cotton loss is estimated at about
81, 900 bales. This would mean d loss Of
about 81 .225, 900 in cotton alone. 1t is
claimed by some that the fire was the
work of laborers, who wished to avenge
the purchasing Of the presses by the
trust
While the firemen were engaged in a
hopeless struggle with the cotton fire
another blaze broke out at the corner of
Laurel and Third streets, mile away.
Mrs. Valentine tried to start fire with
coal oil. An explosion followed and the
house was soon in flames. For half an
hour the fire was small affair, but no
engines arriving it finally spread to the
surrounding buildings, which were all
wooden cottages, and in two hours the
flames had swept bare an area six blocks
in extent, reaching from Magazine
street to Constance crossing. In all 1856
houses were destroyed. The loss viii
