Flea ologged tho wheel of Time.

\ An amusing incident occurred In the
clerks Office yesterday morning, in
which large, fat flea seems to have
b9en the principal actor. Mr.. VIM.
Lhnsford, one of the well-known attor-
n9ys OF the Roanoke bar, walked into
TIE office somewhat out of humor with
bis time-piece. and inquired If there
&as anyone present who could blow in q
watch and start it to running. He waa
informed by the gentlemen present that
none OF them were watch doctors, but
that Mr.. Samuel Shafer, deputy COM
missioner Of the revenue, had formerly
followed that business, and, If found,
would probably do what was necessary
to start the wheels going again. Mr..
Lunsford stated that he had just had
the watch thoroughly cleaned and re-!
paired, and could not understand why
1t refused to run. Mr.. Shafer could not
be found at that time, and the watch
was turned over to Deputy Clerk Bryant
for examination. Mr.. Bryant opened
the back case, and made critical in~
Bpection Of the works. He started the
balance wheel with his pocket knife,
but 1t failing to respond, he turned the
watch over aud gave 1t violent shake.
The wheels began to move, but Mr..
Rryant's accurate eye detected q pc
culiar obstruction in the anatomy OF the
watch, and, while endeavoring to ascer-
tain what 1t could be, q large, well-fed,
black flea sprang out into his hand, as
though 1t WAS glad to be released from
it's prison. Mr. Lunsford could give no
satisfactory explanation as to how the
flea got into his watch. AT last accounts
the watch was running all right.

gree.
Attorney NcLennan, in presenting the
case for the defense, stated that he would

also prove by AMI eminent physician that

molested.
During the time the train was held,
which was one hour and 40 minutes the
robbers outside kept firing sticks of dyna-
mite to intimidate the passengers.
After the chief rObber had secured his
booty, he ordered the engineer to proceed
north. He then shot out the headlight,
and firing five additional shots as a sig
nal to his companions, disappeared in the
darkness.
f. Plother, a Western Union lineman,
who was on the train. had $50 or $50 in
his pocket, but he talked the robber out
of searching him. He describes the rob-
ber who went through the car as a slender
man about six feet tall. He wore q white
silk handkerchief as a mask, blue over
alls and jumper He had large bag
slung over his shoulder and carried a
common grain sack in his hand. His
hands were rough and cracked. He had
a deep, coarse voice which could be
easily recognized if heard again. 1t was
to dark to see the other robbers.
The engine was 50 badly disabled that
it took three hours to reach Riddles
Superintendent Fritz of the Southern
Pacific lost no time, and in an hour after

the way to the scene of the robbery. A
posse of officers was hastily made I'D in
Roseburg and started at once. and another
of rough and ready moun;aineers started
from here. Every effort will be made to
capture the robbers. The men of the
party starting from here are thoroughly
acquainted with every foot of the ground
in the neighbOrhOOd Of the robbery and
pretty good hopes are entertained of can
turing the robbers
1t is estimated that the robbers secured
from $1,000 to $4,000 altogether. One
passenger in the Pullman gave UP S4OO.
Others contributed amounts ranging from
