SACRAMENTO, CAL, Sept. 3.-The
special train consisting of nineteen cars
of canned fruit shipped by the Sacramento
Packing and Drying Company yesterday
for the East is only portion of the ship
ments which will be made. as the reduc-
tion in eastbound tariffs have encouraged
heavy shipments, and the company has
already sent over thirty carloads unde,

gained by knowing that they represent
about 400, 900 cans, weighing over 100000

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 81. s. Mockbee,
John Snyder, Herman Salzen and other
residents of Mountain View, held a con-
sultation with District Attorney Herring
ton to-day in regard to petitioning the
Board of Supervisors for the formation of
a protection district, to take in New

The formation of the district is taken
with a view to widening, Strengthening

that settles in the neighborhood during
storms soon becomes stagnant, foul and a

Courthouse Appraisem ent Accented

FRESNO, CAL, Sept. 3.-The Board of
Supervisors to-day received and accepted
the report OF Appraiser H. w. Downing
on the appraisement of the loss of the
courthouse by the recent fire. The loss is
fixed at $685. 256. The insurance companies
could not agree upon the selection of their
appraisers, and two appraisements by diff
ferent adjusters were made. They agreed
on the loss, however. The appraisement
OF $36, 256 is considered a low figure and
does not meet with much approval.

STOCKTON, CAL, sept. 3.-W. S. Foote,
United States District Attorney, located at
San Francisco, arrived here to-day noon in
search of his son, who had run away and
was following the Wallace circus. Young
Foote was not alone, for in his company
was another San Francisco youth who
thought he would like to see how circus
girls looked behind the scenes. The name
of the second youth was not learned. His
father arrived in the company OF Mr..
Foote Sr.
1t is supposed that telegram preceded
the gentlemen, for when they arrived they
were met at the railroad station by Sheriff
Cunningham, who remarked to Mr..
Foote. "Well, I've got the boys all right
and they are staked out in the southern
part of town.
The Sheriff then took Mr.. Foote and his
companion to see the prisoners. The latter
were taken back to San Francisco on the

SHEER NERVE DID 1T.
ONE LONE HlGHWAYMAN HOLDS Up
A STAGE IN OREGON.

Evidently Did Not Wish to Be seen-The
Passengers Obeyed His Commands With
Alacrity-very Near the Scene of . SINH.
lar Holdup.
A lone highwayman held up the stage
from Ager to Klamath Falls, Or, a few
nights since, and two passengers, the
driver, the mail pouch and Wells, Fargo
q Co. s box were robbed under circum-
stances that are almost without parallel
for sheer nerve and bravado.
The highwayman stood in ambush at
the side of the road and did not once dis
close his person, much less his identity,
to his victims. But they literally obeyed
his every command, which was deliver
ed in a firm voice.
The driver and passengers seem to
have been imbued with the assurance
that instant death would follow disobe-
dience in any particular.
The stage left the railroad at Ager at
3 o'clock in the afternoon, with Ed Wal
ters as driver. About 10 O'Clock, as the
team slowed down to pull up the narrow
Topsy grade, six miles long, a sudden
command came from ambush beside the
road -ar the driver to hold up and throw
out the express box and letter pouches.
The command was delivered in an i'm
perious voice, and the driver did not
stop to ask questions or wait for the rob-
Der to come from concealment. The OK
press box and letter pouches were
promptly thrown out.
The hidden highwayman then directed
his attention to Wells, a stockman, and
he wa told to cut open the letter
pouches. Wells demurred, but obeyed.
He secured a pocketknife and began
slashing away at Uncle Sans letter
bags. When the robber was satisfied that
satisfactory progress was being made by
the stockman, he directed Cora, the
other passenger, to break open the box
supposed to contain Wells, Fargo & Co. 8
treasures. The merchant reluctantly
went to work, but he seems not to have
taken the proper implements Of destruc-
ton and made so much noise and con-
fusion that the robber directed him to de-
sist. Then he babe the driver to take an
al from the stage and make q more sue
, cessful job and less noise. Walters did
as required.
When these things were done, the
~highwayman preferred q firm request
from his place Of concealment in the
brush for the driver and passengers to
take of their coats, and, besides, Leave
the contents Of their pockets with the
other booty. Again the trio complied,
but it is believed that they lost little in
that manner. The plucked passengers
and driver were then allowed to get
aboard the stage and drive on. It is not
known whether any valuables were So
cured from the express box or letters.
The robbery took place within a few
hundred fest Of a similar robbery hardly
a month ago, and there is little doubt
that it was executed by the same lone
highwayman. It was carried out in al
most the same manner, the robber Civ
