There are some mighty queer peo-
pie up in Idaho" said the cattleman,
AS he gently rested his high-heeled boots
on the radiator in front of the hotel
clerks desk. mighty queer. There
are some of the big bugs up there who
would hate awful bad to see their pedi-
grees in print. Why, say, l know a
man in Boisey, business man. has a
fine house, big ranch, in Southern
Idaho, wife prominent in society, been
q member of the legislature, talked of
congress, and all that, and you would
moi guess in a month of Sundays how
he got his start.
Sailing a mine! 1 should say not.
That's too risky. No; stage robbery.
Yes, sir. Oh, l don't that peo-
pie generally know it, but it's a fact,
Just the same. BOb-that amt his
name-he told me one night when l
was stopping at his ranch and he got
cOnfidential-told me all about it. OF
course. l don't mention any names,
cause it might make trouble, wen yet,
and Bob-that amt his name, mind
you-alWayS treated me particularly
white.
You see. BOb came out to Colorado
in the 70s from some little town in
Ioway and went to punching cattle at
$50 a month and board; he hadn't been
there long enough to get over being
a tenderfoot till one day he got into
q row with the boss and was fired.
Bob demanded his pay. The boss said
he didn't have any money with him
that he could spare, and started to
make out a check on a Denver bank.
Bob was a little warm under the collar
and intimated that he considered that
greenbacks or most any kind of money
might be safer than the Old mans
check, which | guess was the case;
but this was IL roundup, and there was
g whole lot of cowboys standing
around grinning and the old man could
not stand to be sassed by Il tenderfoot,
SO he whipped out a s~iX-shooter and

fed that he was watched. He went to
a lodging house, engaged a room. left
his blankets and the accurs2d gold be-
hind in the room, and, lodging out the
back way, hurried to the depot. No
train out for twelve hours. He hustled
back to his room for fear some one
m~ightexamine his blankets and notify
the police. But the roll was all right.
He was now convinced that he could
not escape detection. He had regis
tered under an assumed name, and he
determined to stick to it and avoid dis
grazing his family. He went to the
depot at train time, boldly carrying
his blankets and the gold concealed in
them, and was surprised when he was
not arrested at the ticket window. He
left Denver at last. and, after lodging
from II place to another, reached
Carson, New. where he exchanged the
bullion for currency. He by this time
felt that he had delayed his confession
too long. and with the fear of the pen
itentiary on hin. he struck off into
Idaho. He bought a small herd of cat
tie and soon had a fine ranch. Then he
married a girl whose dad owned n
store in Boisey. The old man died and
left him the store. Bob got richer
every day, went to the legislature,
built a fine house in town, sent his
children East to school and was gen
orally prosperous, but he never made
any inquiries about that stage robbery.
He only knows that it took place some
where in Colorado, and that he got
one-third of the Doodle. And he is now
continually tormented with the fear
that the story will come out on him.
He has been putting off a visit to his
people in Ioway because he hates to
tell it. He asked me what to do. /
told him to say nothing, but saw wood.

sengers were standing up in a row,
holding up their hands, while a man
vas holding a Winchester on EN-. An
other road agent was taking care of
the driver. while a third one was doing
the business. Bob had read about such
things. and it all looked as natural as
life. He led his pony around behind
a rock and tied him. and then came
back and stood behind a pine tree and
watched the show.
Pretty soon they cut the dead mules
harness, the passengers got back into
the coach, the road agents commenced
to shoot to liven up the mules. and
away they went down the valley road
around a bend, and that was the last
Bob eve saw of the stage. When the
stage was gone Bob noticed that the
robbers gathered around a little iron
box and commenced breaking it open
with "A miners pick. When they got
it open they seemed to divide the con-
tents amongst them. They led Their
horses from a clump of trees and put
their plumber in the blankets fastened
in rolls behind the saddles. Next they
mounted and rode right up the canyon
toward Bob. Then he was scared
again.
"As the stage robbers drew nearer
he kept shifting around to keep behind
the little pine tree, and prayed that the
pony would have sense enough to keep
still. And he did. Robert supposed
the robbers would follow on up the
canyon past him, but no; just as they
reached a point right below him they
stopped, dismounted and commenced
leading their horses up the hill toward
him, and then, for the first time, he
noticed a trail that zig-zagged up the
hillside to the very ledge where he
stood. and her it wound around the
rocks up to The MESA he had just left.
He was fairly caught. His pony was
too lame to travel fast. and, besides,
the path was in easy rifle shot all the
way up. He was afraid to surrender
to the outlaws, and there was no pos
sible chance to hide. Something had
to be done, and he determined to fight.
Frightened Robbers.
THE robbers kept coming up the
hill, stopping occasionally to rest.
When the foremost one was about 100
feet away Bob took aim at the white
SPOT in the forehead of the horse he
was leading and fired. When the little
puff of smoke blew away Bob saw Il
dead horse rolling down the hillside
until it landed in the trail at the bot
tom, while the other horses and the
outlaws were falling over II another
trying to see which could get down
first. Bob had the magazine of his

AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARE FORMED.

The New York Tribune says: 1.-THE habit of
taking headache powders is increasing to an
alarming extent among a great number of wo-
men throughout the country. These powders as
their name indicates, are claimed by the manu-
facturers to be a positive and speedy cure for any
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient. is morphine, opium, cocaine or some
other equally injurious drug having a tendency
to deaden pain. The habit of taking them is
easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
off. Women usually begin taking them to re-
lieve a raging headache and soon resort to the
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected to, and finally like the NOR
phine or opium hend, get into the habit of taking
them regularly, imagining that they are in pain
if they happen to miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
in the stomach and liver. Take a simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
offending matter which deranges the
stomach and causes the headache. DIR.
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are composed
entirely of the purest, concentrated,
vegetable extracts. One Pellet is a
dose; sugar-coated, easily swallowed;
onee used, aIuays in Javor. They posi-
lively cure sick headache and ennov

Two Instances Developed in This
CITY Yesterday.

Two Instances Developed in This
City Yesterday.
Charles Withotf and Henry
Steubing are two farmers of the
Helotes. Both came in with some
hay last Tuesday evening.
Without sold a bale to a colored
man on Main plaza and the latter
gave him a counterfeit dollar as
payment for same. Without did
not have any change and asked his
friend, Henry Steubing to give
him some. Steubing gave him
two quarters and half dollar
for the counterfeit dollar.
Neither Steubing nor Without
seemed to know it was counterfeit,
until Steubing wanted to pay for a
glass of beer in a Frio street saloon
yesterday afternoon. The bar
tender told him the money was no
good.
Steubing then looked for Withoff
and told him to give back his
money. Without refused to do this
and Steubing sought an officer.
He found officer Dawson and re.
lated the affair to him. Officer
Dawson referred the matter to
Captain Jesse Bennett, and
the latter took the counterfeit
money and told Withoff to give
Steubing back his dollar, which
he agreed to do. In this transac-
ton Without loses a bale of hay.
A moment later a boy, named
Joe Myrick, who said he lives
about nine miles northwest Of the
city, came along and related a
counterfeit dollar affair that was
about to be worked on him yes
terday on South Flores street.
He said he had a five dollar bill,
which he wanted changed. He did
not have to look very long for the
change. On finding someone, the
money was counted out to him
and looked to be five dollars in
silver. In handling each dollar
separately the boy felt that one or
two were lighter than the others.
He looked at them more closely
and returned them to the man, tel
ling him to keep the change. In
the meantime, however, he hung
to his five dollar William.
