SHERMAN, TEX, September 25.-To- day between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock County Treasurer William Scott was sandbagged in his office in the court house and the county safe robbed of several hundred dollars No one was in the office at the time, and it was 1:l0 when the rob- bery was discovered. When found Scott was insensible, and at this hour (S D. m.) has not regained conscious ness A number of people were in the court house when the deed was com mitted, but no one saw any suspicious characters enter the building. Scott was sitting at his desk writing when he was struck on the head The weap- on used was a sandbag or some other blunt instrument as his head was bruised and but slightly cut. The boldness of the affair is causing in- tense excitement. Officers are scour- ing the country, but with absolutely no clue to guide them. It is feared that Scott is badly injured, though he may recover sufficiently to tell who his assailants were.

andsweeping all before it. The young
woman screamed, the horses plunged,
and the driver started to wheel them
about, to return. Too late. The water
came up to swim ming depth for the
horses, and the stage foated and tipped
like the box it was. Everything was
swept out-passengers, satchels, seat,
all. Into the flood they went whirling
down the stream at giddying rate.
The young woman Was carried down. and
bat for the brave efforts OF her brother
would have drowned.
The food subsided a. quietly as il
came, but left drenched, muddy, and
delapidated stage ou,it Toe horses
were injured, the stage broken, a seat
gone, the top gone. The seat and cush-
ions and satcheis had fioated down with
the waters still roaring in the distance.

Territorial Audror Boone returned
from trip To Gfsh,in county yesterday.
He brings the cheerful news that silver
mining Is u, 40 means dead after all,
in spite OF gol buk Efforts TO kill it. Over
in Grant con'y, New Mexico, just De-
yoDd the Ariz ma line, IL mine known
as the Laura, shich carries considerable
silver and some gold This property
has Just been sold to Denver parties for
$4,000. The purchasers intend to work
it actively at once.
IL appears that the knogins ones in
Denver see bright future near at hand
for silver ani hey are governing them
selves accordingly. Auditor Boone owns
two claims near the property above
named, the Alabama and the Geronimo
Both are silver lodes, carrying small
percentage of gold, the Alabama dump
average ounce in gold and 45 ounces in
silver per ton. The bond is six months
one, calling for s45, 900 to be paid on the
Alabama and SIS 900 on the Geronimo.
What is particularly satisfactory in this
news is the fact apparently established
that silver mines still have value and
that capitalists are willing to put their
good gold dollars into them-Gazette

Our lot in life IS very much what we
care TO make it. On Wednesday las,
a Young couple, Mexicans, mounted
on farm wagon, drove from the Catho
lie church after the wedding ceremony
had been performed by which they
were made man and wife, to the various
mercantile houses about town, to lay in
their supply Of lares and penates The
bride, a young woman Of probably 20
years, was attired in pink lawn,
orange blossoms, white cotton gloves
and kid slippers. They were not a
handsome pair, but they we're supremely
happy.
From the furniture department OF l..
Zeckendorf & Co. they bought q co,
and couple OF wooden chairs. At La
Mariposa they made sundry purchases
including pair Of cheap blankets and
a calico dress. At Hughes Hardware
store a half dozen each of iron knives,
forks and spoons, tin coffee pot and
a frying pan filled the measure of their
expectations. At each place of pur-
chase she would laboriously climb to
the high spring seat, and at the next
stopping place as laboriously get down
again. She was extremely csreinl OF
herself as she used the dusty wheel
spoke by spoke, for ladder.
Her admiring swain stood by, his
dark face beaming with satisfaction,
but in no instance did he pnt forth a
hand to help her. That was beyond
his ken. Having completed their house
furnishing they started home apparent
