WHY should every passenger in a
train subjected TO the test OF robbery
prove an abject cowardP This query
Is something not alone TO puzzle one
but to be ashamed OF. In the latest
train robbery the bandits could have
been picked of from cover by any
man with the nerve to draw bead.

A Horse Thief Plays it Fine.


A horse thief, who gave his name al
Haller, stole two horses from Oreans
in this county, and was arrested and
lodged in Jail at Caldwell by the Sheriff
of Canyon County and Sheriff Ballard
was notified to come and get him. The
night before Sheriff Ballard reached
Caldwell his bird few out, after cutting
his way through an iron cage. He was
tracked some distance the next day but
his trail was finally lost. He followed
up Snake river and crossed at Rabbit
creek, going to Jake Reubens' near the
mouth of Sinker, under the pretense
that he was out hunting stock and that
he had been bucked off and lost his
horse, he prevailed upon Reuben to
loan him horse to look for his own
animal. Jake put $40 saddle on a
fine riding horse and loaned it to the
theft, who skipped out south and has
been traced into the Juniper country
and lost.
Halter and another suspicious char
acter had been stopping for some time
on Meadow Creek, pretending to be
looking up car load of horses to pur-
chace and ship east, thus familiarizng
themselves with the country.

Filling a long felt want.

For over year past, thirsty travellers
coming into DrLamar by the road up
the gulch have been compelled to ride
or walk all the way from Mills at
Wagontown clear up through Ragtown
and past the livery stables, blacksmith
shops and private houses, nearly two
miles from the last drink before they
could wet their whistles again Now,
Joy for them,two considerate gentlemen
are about to come TO their relief and
give them chance to tank up before
they reach Miller & Newcombs or Tom
Hall's or Slattery or BArkle's or Bona's
Owsley & Hagler are about to open a
place down opposite Brown, San pson
& Co.'S livery barn, where all the at
fractions and alluruments incident to
such institutions will be set forth.
Now if someone will only do the same
kindly turn for the travellers coming
from the direction of Boonville and
start place up at Pole Creek, TO re-
lievs the travellers on the dry and long
stretch of three miles between Boom
vile and Jim McMahon's, this gulch
will be gIorifed, or perhaps we had
better use a word with an opposite
meaning, and say, damned.

yesterday morning at his home, In Prince
Georges county, Nd. Ex-Gov. Bowie has
been i'll at his home for ten days. and his
condition is considered critical by his ply
scans, DIR. William w. Duvall and DR..
Allan P. Smith of Baltimore.
DR.. Smith was summoned in consultation,
and the two physicians remained at the
eX-governor's bedside throughout the day.
Later Dr. Smith returned to Baltimore. He
said: THE attack is of a very serious char
acter. The arm and leg of the right side
are completely paralyZed. The governors
mind is clear and he recognized those
about him. No one can tell what may be
the outcome Of this stroke"
Dr. Duvall remained all night at Gov.
Bowie's house. At late hour last night
DIR. Duvall said: Gov. Bowie Is resting
easily. He had an hours sleep, which was
of great benefit to him. The attack is
what is known as motor paralysis, and at
fects the right arm and leg, which are en-.
tirely helpless. For several years Gov
Bowie has suffered from rheumatic govt
Five years ago he went to New York and
consulted DIR. Draper, specialist. The
governor has not been to his office In Bal
timore since Saturday, November IL, For
several days prior to the attack OF par
alysis he has been affected with acute
rheumatic govt. accompanied by enusion

seemed aggravated. While cannot say
there is immediate danger Of fatal results,
1 cannot tell. The governor is very sick
