kansas Valley railroad at Nowata, /.
r., station l40 miles west Of here, was
held up and robbed at late hour last
night by three men supposed to be

signed "a few days ago, intending to
take "A trip to San Francisco. Yester-
day Travelling Auditor Wright and
Travelling Passenger Agent Johnson
arrived for the purpose of checking up
his books. They were engaged in this
work last night when the bandits en-
tered and covered them with revOlvers.
Wilson, the retiring agent, was COM
PEELED TO open the safe while two Of the
desperadoes held Wright, johnson and
Wilson at bay while they emptied the
contents of the safe, about 81 800, into a
sack. A third Of the plunder was the
personal property of Wilson and the
balance belonged TO the railroad and
express companies. After relieving
Wilson, johnson and Wright Of their
gold watches and what money they
had in their pockets the highwaymen
backed out Of the door and disappeared.
A posse was soon i'm pursuit, but moth
ing has been heard from them. 1t is
known that the Daltons have been in
the vicinity for three days and there is
no doubt that the robbery was commit
ted by this gang.

AN ARCADIAN EPISODE.
Two Child Couples Start Out Or
Their Travels.


1t was discovered yesterday that
Louise Rice, the sixteen-year-old girl
from Los Angeles and Fifth street, had
not run away with her sister Eliza and
Annie Ellis as reported in yesterdays
HERALD. Louise has been found in the
city, and when she was questioned
about the lost girls, she declared that
Eliza Rice and Annie Ellis, who are
both in their thirteenth year, had
stolen bedding from the Rice house and
had started to walk to Long Beach in
company with two boys of fourteen or
fifteen, one OF them named Peachey.
Besides the quilts and blankets which
comprised the bedding of the young
scapegraces, the quartette had with
them valise containing toilet articles
and various trinkets.
Word was at once sent out to Long
Beach and to the towns along the road,
asking officers to look out for the juve-
nile tramps. Surely enough, at about
O'Clock the runaway four approached
the village of Compton and were picked
up by Charlie Fetterman, who held
them and sent word to the city that the
young fugitlves had been arrested.

WILBUR LEE.
AN Ell MONTE MAN SUPPOSED TO
BE LOST.
A Graduate of a Bichloride of Gold Cure
Disappears-The Effect of the Medi-
cine-Insanity Is Feared.

Under date OF the 14th instant the
San Francisco Chronicle publishes the
following from Pomona:
There is fear among the family and
friends of Wilbur Lee of Ell Monte, in
this locality, that he has wandered away
from home while insane and has met
with some fatal accident or foul play.
Lee is one of the graduates of the Kee-
ley bichloride of gold institute at Dwight
ILL.,, and has been at home for several
weeks. He was for nine years very
hard drinker, and consumed fully a
pint of whisky day for months at q
time. -..s,
Last December he went to Dwight
with his father and took treatment fol
alcoholism. The doctors said his system
was badly shattered, and did not wan
to administer the bichl0ride to- Lee
He and his father insisted, however
and he became regular patient of the
institute.
He returned to Los Angeles in Janua-
ry, and has never been known to touch
intoxicants since. His whole manner
was changed by his treatment. He lost
flesh, became moody, and would sit for
hours staring into vacancy. Nothing
could rouse him from this mental state,
and he became worse.
Lee himself said his mind was wrong,
and that he did not remember simple
things. He could not think of his ia
theirs name for several days, and did
not know how to tell him. He went to
day, in the hope that the change would
help. him. He insisted upon going
alone.
Z, Nothing has been heard OF the young
man since. He was last seen at Cotton
waiting for the train to Riverside. The
family believe the bichlofide ruined tn e
mans faculties, and gave his nervous
system shock that may result fatally
at any time. DR.. Kelley will not be
sued, because the treatment was urged
by Lee himself.

long to the &. o. p., of which you are
honored members, and while / am not a
member OF the "Union league" in
which you are shining lights, | have
always loved most of the principles OF
the Republican party. This un-
fortunate minority report" has
caused much disafiection in the
Republican ranks; an unfortunate oc-
currence at any time, and especially so
now, as this is the presidential year.
While Los Angeles county is sure to go
Republican, the state may 20 the other
way. 1t behooves us then to pull to-
gether. This "reform SCHOOL, and
"court house" business may be worked
in this way Let US all deny any steal
"as faithfully as we deny the devil"
Soon the national Republican conven-
ton will meet and nominate some good
man, probably Mckinley land he is a
good, clean mani as soon as thelnomina-
ton is made, let us all do our level best
to make all voters believe that the only
salvation Of the country lies in the cleo
ton OF the Republican candidate. II
the voters want to talk OF "reform
schools" and "court houses and furni-
ture." we will say, call that is Demo
cratic campaign lie," and that no true
Republican will discuss such ques-
tions until after the "fall election"
In the meantime you can quietly
"work the ropes" and you, Mr.. Lind
ley, if you can secure the nomination
and get votes enough at the polls, may
90 to congress in spite OF cork screws"
and "punchbowls;" and you, Mr.. Nc
Lachlan, may succeed yourself in the
district attorneys Office, your report to
Judge Smith, Notwithstanding, if there
is no other candidate before the people,
but in order to accomplish your much
desired ends you must leave the Union
league, at least temporarily, for the fact
is that every man from the contractors
down to the governor, who is accused of
having had a finger in the reform
school-court-house-pie is Union
Lacquer.
Mr.. McLachlan, you have publicly
stated that you owe your nomination
and election to the office of district
attorney to Mr.. Hervey Lindley. Did
that fact have any weight with you in
making, or rather signing Lindley's re-
port to Judge Smith? Do you think
your obligation to Hervey Lindley is
paramount to your duty as public
officer? A REPUBLICAN.

AN OLD RESIDENT HERE.
Antoine Satter of Guatemala Visiting
His Friends Here.


His Friends Here.
Mr.. Antoine Satter, one of the old
residents of Los Angeles, who has been
located in Guatemala for the past thir.
teen years, is here on visit to his old
partner, Joseph Bayer, and other friends
who are glad to see him.
Mr.. Satter says he was wonderstruck
at the marvellous change that has taken
place in the City of the Angels during
his absence. "When I landed at the
corner OF Spring and First Streets" said
he, 81 thought 1 was in Paris. Yes,
there has been an almost magical change
in Los Angeles since left here"
Mr.. Satter is now the owner of an ex.
tensive coffee plantation in Guatemala,
and says that large quantity OF coffee
now masquerading as genuine Mocha"
in this country was raised in Guatemala,
which is the finest coffee growing region
in Central America. The particular va.
riety of coffee which is used to counter.
felt Mocha is Carracol, round.b .beaned
coffee. Mr.. Satter will be in the city fol
some time, and is delighted to meet his
old friends.
