The splash was heard on board the

over to learn it's meaning. Had Kenton
kept his head above the surface or risen
on the same side of the boat, nothing
could have averted discovery, but the

A BOLD AFFAIR.
Masked Men Run q Successful Bluff
on Bowman Bros. Store at
Pennington.

The New MExIoAN's correspondent al
Pennington, San Juan county, writes that
Bowman Bros. drug store was robbed by
two masked mon on Saturday night last
At o'clock in the evening, while the
store was lighted up and numerous per-
sons were about the streets, man with
his face masked an1 carrying six
shooter appeared in front of tho store
and demanded that Rob Bowman and a
Mr.. Hunter "step inside" They went
into the store where they found the other
inmates "held up" by a masked accom-
plice. The safe was then gone through
and $40 in cash and bills and consider
able sum in notes, ETC., taken. The
robbers then ran out and escaped in the
darkness.
The money stolen was placed by differ
ent citizens in the safe for security, and
the loss will be borne by the unfortunate
depositors.
The time chosen and the way the obbery
was carried out, show carefully planned
affair, and doubtless an advance agent
had given the habits of the citizens with
reference to their money matters his spe-
cial attention.
The sheriff and posse are in pursuit.
and they have with them two Navajoes,
good trackers and very intelligent In
dians. The tracks of the thieves were
discovered, and excited citizens are
anxiously awaiting the result of the
chase.

An the northern coast Indians have
. tradition Of . food which destroyed al
mankind, except pair from which the
earth was again peopled. Each tiba
gives the story q local coloring, but the
plot Of the legend is much the same. The
Bella Coda tradition IS as follows:
The creator Of the universe, Mes-mes-
sa-la-nik, had great difficulty in the ar
rangement Of the land and water. The
earth persisted in sinking out of sight.
At last he hit upon plan which worked
very well. Taking long line of twisted
walrrs hide he tied il around the dry
land and fastened the other end to the
corner Of the moon. Everything worked
well for along time, but at last the spirit
became very much offended at the action
Of mankind, and in fit of anger one day
seized his great stone knife and with a
mighty hack severed the rope Of twisted
skin. Immediately tho land began to
sink into the sea. The angry waves
rushed in torrents up the valleys, and in
short time nothing was visible except
the peak of a very high mountain.
All mankind persisted in the whelming
waters with the exception of two, a man
and his wife, who were out fishing in a
big canoe. These two succeeded in
reaching the top Of the mountain and
proceeded to make themselves at home.
Here they remained for some time until
the anger of Mes-mes-sa-la-nik cooled
which resulted in his fishing up the sew.

moon. From this pair thus saved ths
earth was again populated.-NictOria( B

once on shipboard the sailors were Ill

the vessel was infested. This they dared

The inventors of the penny in the slot
machines make their profit out of hu-
man curiosity. and their experience has
shown that a very comfortable revenue
can be derived from that source. Prob
ably few people have any idea of the
number Of men, women and children
who daily buy chewing gum or other
trihes from machines, or learn their
weight by stepping upon little plat
form and putting cent where it will do
the most good. In a down town store
much frequented by those waiting for
cars is one of the weighing machines,
which has record of earning $50 in a
month. That means that in that time
5000 persons paid a penny apiece to see

Ice In the Government buildings.

One gets vivid notion of the magni-
tude of the departments from the vast
quantities of ice and coal which are re-
quired to quench the thirst of the %, 900
clerks and keep them warm. The treas
ury consumes n ton and a half of ice
daily, taking an average the year round.
An equal quantity is used in the war,
state and navy building. But the de-
partment of the interior is the great de-
vourer of ice. Including the pension Of
fee, it gobbleS up from five TO SIX tons
every "a hours.
The quantities utilized are variable.
Each department makes its own contract
for ice, bids being advertised for annual
ly. No definite amount to be provided
is agreed upon. The contractor gets as
much for supplying all the frozen water
required, whatever it may be. All the
departments, together with their branch
es, consume $4,000 pounds every day
