pleted its customs bilL Yesterday it
agreed to the bill as it now stands,
thus announcing that it would make
no more changes. 1t had good reason
to do this, as every change made since

departure is in putting in the customs

A Fierce Encounter

PoTEAU, L T., Dec. 15.-Wednes-
day night a robber entered the store
of Mrs Phebe WEIGH at Brazil, a
small village twelve miles west of
here, and purchased $50 worth of
goods, among the articles eight feet
of small rope. When the clerk, How
ard Martin, demanded the money for
the goods the robber covered him
with a sixshooter and commanded
him to lay face downward on the floor,
when he proceeded to tie his hands
behind him with the rope. The clerk
being helpless the robber broke open
the money drawer, securing $25, and
then proceeded to rob the postoffice,
which is in the same house. He broke
three registered letters. Failing to
obtain any money he attempted to
break open the safe, but did not sue
coed. -Four different times he carried
his arms full OF goods to his wagon. 400
yards away. each time compelling the
clerk to march in front OF him at the
front OF his revolver. The clerk
fearing that he would be murdered
when the robbery was completed,
made desperate effort to free his
hands as the robber was packing the
goods in the wagon and this he sue
ceeded in doing. Immediately he
spraug on the robber, grabbing him
by the throat and threw him to the
ground. calling the while for help, and
a fierce struggle for the pistol ensued.
Parson Hunter stepped from his cabin
and came to Martins rescue. The
rope that bound Martins hands was
now used to bind the hands of the
robber. The robber was brought here
yesterday by Mr.. Martin and an as
sistant aud turned over to a deputy
marshal, who took him to Fort Smith
Jail. The accused gave the name of
Patty, and said his home is near
Skullyville, l. 7.
