BOTH STAGES HELD UP
The Robber This Time Makes
a Double Play.
LAW-MAkER AND LAW-BREAKEp
Representative Gates, Under Duress
Course, Helps the Lone HIGHWAY.
man in His Work

Ashland, Or, July 1.-The lonol
highwayman, who has been indns
triously plying his vocation on tho
stage route from Ager, Cal. 70
klamath Falls, just over the Ora,o,,
line, i'll series of robberies, now b.
five holdups to his credit executed dnr.
ing the past three months, having mad
double play last night, robbing both
the east and west bound stages.
The east-bound stage left Aper :,
the afternoon at the usual time and
when the drivers We're changed a.
klamath hot springs it was o.on
O'Clock, and shower of rain had
fallen. One passenger was aboard y
'. Gates, member of the Oregon leo.
1slature from Washington county and
bound for klamath Falls on business
Nothing happened until the stage had
climbed long and tortuous grade and
was nearly mile beyond, when. ar
quarter to O'Clock, command came
from behind tree at the side of the
road to halt and throw out the mail
sacks. The robber did not ask for tho
express box, showing that he knew of
Wells-Fargo having recently with.
drawn their service over the road
The driver and the passenger were
ordered out and the passenger instruct.
ed to cut open the mail sacks. Gates
SAID he had no knife, but was furnished
one by the driver, who stood at the
horses heads while the maker of Ore.
CONS laws violated them by emptyinR
the mailbag. During the time THE
robber kept i'll the shadow of the tree
The passenger and the driver then
turned their pockets inside out and
were marched forty feet up the road 4
while the rObber remained and went
through the mail. They were then Or
dered back to load up the stage.
After the robber had put out the
stage candle and retired under his tree
the passenger and driver were ordered
to remain with the stage until the down
stage came. During the hour and a
half remaining the robber swapped
stories and jokes with the driver aud
the passenger and remarked that he
had made poor haul tonight.
When the down stage came along it
was halted within three feet of the
other stages and the same procedure
gone through with. There was no
passengers i'll the second stage. The
robber had a horse close at hand, but
seemed to have no confederate. He
wore cloth mask and talked without
any attempt to disguise himself. He
was of medium height. He was care
full to keep out of sight, though, it is.
said, he could have been shot sever;RR
times if the passenger or driver had 4
pistol. Only So was secured from
Gates and 10 cents from the driver
There is no doubt that all the recently
robberies of this stage were committed
by the same man, who is certainly "A
resident of that section. The country
surrounding is wild, with settlements
far between, and peculiarly adapted to
the escape of highwaymen, though
heavily timbered and a rocky country.
Amateur detectives have worked on
the case for some time, but so far have
been unable to obtain strong enough
evidence to connect the man whom
they suspect with the crimes.

New York, July 3.-The Herald S
Washington special says the decision
of Judge Ross in San Francisco, in re-
gard to the claim of the government
against the stockholders of the Central
Pacific, has been received here with
much interest. Not only was the
theory of the personal liability of
stockholders under the California law
very fully discussed, but Mrs. Stanford
made special trips TO Washington con-
corning it, and had an interview with
the President, urging acceleration in
the trial of the case, SO that she, as
executrix, might distribute her hus-
bands estate.
Those who have been interested in
the case here have learned little from
the meager reports of Judge Ross de-
olson, but it seems that his chief reason
for setting the claim aside is that the
personal liberty clause i'll the Califor-
MIA constitution was not adopted until
after the government had entered into
its contract with the builders of the
road.
Attorney General Harmon has Just
received from San Francisco copies of
the government decisions in the case,
and is preparing to take up the matter.
1t is not doubted that the case will be
carried to the supreme court. This
will add another year or two to the
time already occupied by the proceed

upon the baronetcy conferred upon Mr..

such an apostate should be singled out
for honor by the queens responsible

torial for Lord ROsebery appointing
new peers as being probably the fulfill
ment of old promises.
Mr.. NaylorLeland' wife was Miss
