Bank, was held up last night by four
masked men at a point three and half
miles from here. Shute was walking
along the county road en- route to the farm

lonely spot four masked men confronted
him and ordered him to halt and throw up
his hands. They took him into clump of
dense brush by the roadside, and having
bound him, searched his pockets and took
the keys of the bank. They then, under
penalty of death, compelled him to give
them the combin alton to the vault.
Two of the men started for town to the
bank. while the others remained as a
guard over Mr.. Shute. After time thew
returned and said they could not get into

THEIR HEARTY RALLY.
Nevada County Republicans All
Welcome Mr.. EStee.
The Nominee for Governor States
His Views on the Great
Mining Industry.

NEVADA CITY, Oct. 16.-This town was
in blaze of glory tonight, and the big
gest and most enthusiastic political gather
ing in the history of Nevada County was
held. NJ. NJ. Estee, the Republican nomi-
nee for Governor. arrived here from
Marvsville this afternoon and the people
Of Grass Vail ey and other parts OF the
county joined hands to demonstrate to the
highest degree possible the falsity of
Democratic reports that the Republican
standard-bearer is unpopular in mining
counties.
Union Hotel, where Mr. Estee is stop
ping, has been yeritable beehive of
humanity since his arrival, almost every
man, woman and child in town insisting
on shaking hands and congratulating the
candidate. Al z 80 o'clock a special train
arrived from Grass Valley and points
further south. The big train was unable
to accommodate all who desired 10 attend
the mass meeting. and many clung 10 car
steps and rode on the roof of coaches. A
procession of several thousand people,
about half Of them bearing torches. joined
the visitors at the depot and paraded the
principal streets beaded by brass band.
Skyrockets blazed from every roof along
the line of march, and streets and vacant
lots famed with bonfires.
At O'Clock the mass-meeting assembled
at the opera-bouse, which has a seating
capacity of about 1000. There was wild
rush for places of vantage by the enthu-
siastic citizens anxious 10 see and hear the
man from Napa. Not oDe-third of those
applying for admission could be accommo-
dated, but the disappointed ones abaied
n jOt of their enthusiasm on this account.
They continued to parade the streets until
a late hour, cheering themselves hoarse
for the Republican party and its nominee.
In the course of his ADDRESS Mr.. Estee
stated that there might have been some
misunderstanding as to his position as to
the mining question. Under this head he
said: 'The first three years of my life in
California were spent In the mines, at that
time the leading industry of the State.
Every dollar taken from the bo wells of the
earth is net dollar brought to the use of
man, like the growth of new blade of
grass. We should encourage mining by
every act that does not discourage farm
iug. The Two industries should 20 hand
in hand and receive the fostering and pro-
tective care of the State and nation. As
the products of the farm decrease in value
it becomes even more important to en-
courage that character of mining which
does not destroy other peoples property.
The more varied our industries the more
prosperous are our people, provided those
industries are producing industries"
Mr.. Estee took up other industries of
the day and handled them in mastery
style. The address was something over
an hour long, and almost continuously in
terrupted by applause. The humorous
orator, Lee Fairchild. followed in half
hours address. full Of fun.
After the meeting another hand-shaking
levee was held at the opera-house, and the
biggest mass-meeting ever seen in this
neck of the political vineyard closed.

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 16.-Mrs. DR.. E.
BruUk was arrested this evening on a
charge of manslaughter for causing the
death of Mrs. Mary Arata last night by
criminal operation. Sunday last DR., ]. d.
Fenton was called to the residence of Mrs.

condition from an operation. He called
again at 5 O'Clock last evening, when the
womaD's condition was such that he
called Drs. Holt, Wilson and Rafferty, in
consultation. Mrs. Arata's condition, now
ever. was beyond human aid, and she died
in short time. DR.. Fenton states that on
bis first visit he was convinced that Mrs.
Arata was the victim Of criminal oper-
alton.
Mrs. DR.. Brunk's bail was fixed st
$4,000, which she was unable to furnish.
The CorOner's jury tonight found that
Mrs. Arata came to her death by crim-
lnal operation performed by Mrs. DR..
Brunk. The doctor was released on

Talk About the Olympic Clubs

1t is rumored in athletic circles that the
Olympic Club is quietly canvassing among
its stalwart members with view of organ
iZiDg football team which will put tie
Reliance team in the shade when it dons
the flying shoe. This is only talk, how
ever, which will probably amount to
nothing. as il is now rather late In the day
for club to entertain the idea of organiz-
ing football team.
Should the Olympians astonisb the ad-
mirers of the game with the announce
ment that they had a team to represent
them in the winter series of contests it is
only reasonable to presume that the team
would stand an excellent chance of win
ming the leather medal. which prize is al
ways captured by the last horse.

Club will hold its sixteenth annivers rsarv
