while disrobing he noticed number
of men gathering about the house. He
awakened his wife to whom he told what

out to see what they desired. They
seized him and took him into the woods.
and upon his denial of any knowledge
of the crime, tied rope around his
neck and threw it over the limb of tree,
and he was drawn up. He was let down
and persisted in denying that he knew
anything about the fires. Twice more he
was strung up. and not making any ad.
missions he was permitted to depart.
Young says he knows the men but will

ASHLAND, Or, June 1.-THE regular
monthly hold-up of the Ager- X klamath
stage occurred last night shortly after IL
o'clock. The robbery occurred half a
mile from Topay grade and very near
the scene of the robberies OF one and two
months ago, and the same lone highway
man Is supposd to have executed the job.
The stage left Ager yesterday afternoon,
and when the command ito halt came
from the ambush Charlie Barneburg was
driving, with two passengers. Charles
Swisler was outside with the driver.
Zwisler was made TO cut open the letter
pouches and throw them out, and the
driver was told to break open the ex
press box. The driver told the robber
til .re was nothing in the box, aud the
latter seemed satisfied when he heard its
empty rattle and the express box was left
in the boot.
After the coats and vests of all were
thrown out the robber ordered the driver
to take the stage lantern and leave it in
side the coach and move away. and when
he finished his examination they could
come back and get their coats. They
moved on fifty yards and the robber
could be plainly seen as he went through
the registered mail and coats. but he
overlooked some letters and $50 IN cash
in Zwisler's coat pocket.
After this performance he called the
driver and passengers back and told them
to get their clothes and what was left of
the mail. He then bade them good
night and they were permitted to drive
on.
The highwayman was OF medium size
and wore dark overcoat and light straw
hat. He wore no mask, but kept out of
the light so his features could not be out
lined. He got but few dollars from the
passengers, nothing from the express COM
pany, and it is thought little from the
mail poucheya
