STOOD UP A STAGE.
Work of Lone Highwayman
in Siskiyou County.
Two of the Passengers Concealed
Much Money, but the Robber
Was Generous All the Same.

KLAMATH FALLS, Or, Sept. 1.-THE
Ager and Klamath Falls stage was held
up Sunday by lone highwayman, who re-
lieved three passengers of valuables TO the
amount of $500. The express box and
registered mailpouches were rifled.
The daring robbery occurred at point
about ten miles from Ager, Siskiyon
County. After stopping the stage the
highwayman caused the driver and pas
sengers to walk some distance ahead of the
horses, and they did not dare to disobey
the injunction not to look back. Then he
proceeded to go through the mail and ex-
press matter. Not finding the brass lock
usually on the mailpouch he called to the
driver for information as to its locality on
the stage. Without a quaver the driver
replied that, it being Sunday, there was no
brass lock aboard. With this the driver
was sent back to take his place among the
passengers.
After examining the mail in the front
boot the cool robber unbuckled the hind
boot. where the brass lock had been
placed. "You are the - liar / ever
saw" the fellow sang out TO the driver.
While ripping open the pouch with his
knife he whistled yankee Doodle"
When through with the pouch he ordered
each passenger to remove his coat and
valuables and place them on the ground.
One passenger managed to transfer we'll
filed purse from his pocket TO his hat,
where the money was not found by the
robber. When the shrewd passengers
turn came to "hand over" he yielded up
ST. Another passenger. an insurance
adjuster from Portland. gave up S65, but
bad taken tie precaution before leaving
Ager to place a large sum in greenbacks
in his hatband and this money was also
overlooked by the robber. The driver
was not molested.
Having secured all the valuables in sight
the highwayman remarked that for travel
ing men the passengers carried very little
money. Then he gave each of them 50 so
in silver. The command TO "load up and
90 on" was given. While backing away
from the stage the robber invited them all
to his mountain home at any time they
should come in the vicinity.
The daring fellow was of medium height
and build, had light hair, which was vsi-
BILE under the mask, blue eyes and he
spoke with German accent. He is sup
posed to be the man who rifled a store at
Aver last Thursday and took a suit Of
clothes. hat and oilcloth pantaloons This
is probable, as the robber wore oilcloth
pantaloons.

ARE THEY MERCHANTSa
The Santa Rosa Chinese Cases to Be
Appealed.

Appealed.
Collector OF Customs Wise is consider
ably interested in having the Santa Rosa
cases Of Wong Gee and Fong Nuey, which
were worked up by Inspector Norman,
appealed to United States District Judge
Morrow. Assistant United States At
torney Witter is now preparing papers in
an appeal.
In the evidence before Commissioner
Heacock 1t came out that Wong Gee was
Interested in what was suspected to be an
opium joint and Fong Nuey in a fan-tar
resort one or two doors distant, but to the
commissioners mind it was not snffici-
enty established that they were laborers.
Giving credence to the statements of the
defense, particularly that OF Justice of the
Peace Brown, that they were merchants,
he felt that he could not do otherwise than
dismiss the cases. though he qualified his
decision by expressing hope that an ap-
peal might be taken.
The wife of partner, Toin Wong. of
one OF the Chinese was so worked up over
her husbands coming to San Francisco
ana not soon returning that she committed
suicide by hanging herself with a pair of
shoe strings. They had only been married
hve or six months, and Justice Brown it
was who performed the ceremony.

THE CHINESE HAVE NOT GONE.

torney Garter agreed to sit mp all night last
night and study ont the situation. out it is
not likely that their long vigil has been of
real advantage. for there are enough
technicalities TO be considered in the case
te give a Philadelphia lawyer employment
for month.
And when Jim does get here-if he
does-he will make but one more yellow
man for the City and County Jail to
shelter, feed and wash for.
Marshal Gard went home to Los Angeles
yesterday, leaving his assortment of Abs
and Wongs and Yens behind him. He is
praying that they will apply for bail and
that the court will grant the application.
1t would save the county of Los Angeles
neat little sum if They were TO be released
on bail pending word from the United
States Supreme Court But the men most
interested seem TO be satisfied with their
present board and lodging. They are not
asking for bail. If they should be granted
it they would he put to the Inconvenience
and expense of supporting themselves.
1t is a puzzling question, too, whether
they could secure bail. They are not pris-
oners accused of crime or Offense against
civil law. They are political prisoners.
accused of an infraction of political reg
ulation. Are such entitled to bail? 1t is
a question yet to be decided.
And suppose the Chinese should be ad-
mitted to bail; what are the probabilities
that the same ones could ever be found
again for depor tation? What are the
chances but what some poor coolies who
want to get back to the fatherland at some
body else's expense may not be substituted
in their place when the time comes for de-
portation-if it ever does come?
Oh. yes, there are few little kno tty
points in the Chinese problem. 1t may be
easy to pass a Chinese deportation law,
but verify its enforcement is not SO easy.
John is diplomat by nature, and those
who are set upon his going home at once
are just beginning to fathom the real
depth of his diplomacy.
Collector Quinn has been filing in his
idle moments with the arithmetic and
some Chinese statistics. He has compiled
quite a formidable array of facts and fig
ures, which respectfully dedicates to the
perusal of Eastern philanthropists who
want the Chinese to stay.
''Since 1860" says Mr.. Quinn, "the aver
age Chinese population in the United
States has amounted TO 131, 000 In many
cases they have earned more than 81 a
day, but in order 10 make conservative
estimate we will take this figure and we
will count but 100000 Chinese. That gives
US 100000 day as their earnings. They

LOOTED THE VAULTS
City Treasurer krug of Seattle
an AbsCOnder.
An Official Who Loaned Over Two
Hundred Thousand Dollars to
Scrip Spectators.

SEATTLE. Wash, Sept. ia sensation
was caused here tonight by a statement
that City Treasurer Adolph Krug was a
defaulter to the amount of $500, 900. The
statement was made by the Post-Intelli-
gencer, which, in an editorial, sald:that it
would give $500 to any worthy charity if
City Treasurer Krug could produce the
S309, 600 which the last statement of the
City COMPTROLLER showed should be in the
treasury. This caused the finance COM
mittee of the City Council to make an in
vestigation, which resulted in finding but
$4,000 in the city vaults.
Treasurer Krug could not be found. 1t Is
believed that he has gone to British Co.
lumbia as he has not been seen since this
morning. A warrant for his arrest has
been sworn out.
Krug was highly esteemed here. and had
amassed quite fortune by close business
methods. 1t is said that he gave large
sums of city money to spectators to buy
up city scrip at large discount. This scrip
was all covered by the issue of bonds
which it was thought would be sold In
June. The financial stringency prevented
the sale of the bonds. and over $780, 900 of
city money is, therefore, IN the hands of
spectators, VINO hold the city scrip which
cannot be realized upon until the bonds
are Sold Late this evening the Mayor
formally removed Krug from Office and ap-
pointed Edward o. Graves, president of
the Washington National Bank as acting
Treasurer.

The morning call., 1893-09-13

Collector Quinn further points out that
according to statistics fully $4,000 Chinese
have been struggled into the United States
during the last ten years.
The English or German emigrants, he
says, buy homes here and increase the
productions nf the country, whereas the
Chinese rob us of our gold and give US
only labor in return for it.
But however all this may be-and it is
certainly very puzzing at best-Att0rDey
Riordan means to have the Supreme Court
of the United States get another try at
that Geary law.
He has telegraphed to Attorney General
Oney requesting that official to bring the
appeals of his before the court as soon as
possible. When the court reassembles
this will probably be one of the first mat
tiers taken up.
