CATCHING A TARTAR.
The Brave and Effective Resistance of al
Intended Victim.

The Brave and Effective Resistance of an
Intended Victim.
Highway robberies, even under mod
ern name of "hold-ups," which alters
nothing of their character, have become
decidedly rare in the far northwest; and
they are likely to become still rarer if
all intended victims make as brave and
effective resistance as did a grocer OF
Rainier. Washington, recently.
This grocer, whosee name is Hubert,
started from Rainier with his wagon
one night to go 10 Tacoma to buy goods.
With him was a 13-year-old boy. He
carried $1O6 to pay for his purchases.
While he was about two miles from
Roy and on a lonely road two highway
men stepped out, confronted the grocer,
pushed a pistol into his face, and COM
manded him to dismount and hand over
his money.
Hubert had no notion of giving up the
money, but he did not waste any time in
thinking up plan for beating the rob-
bers. He began to get down from the
wagon as if to comply, and as he did so
he struck the rascal who held the pistol
a terrible blow which felled him to the
ground. Hubert then came down with
one heavy foot upon the wrist of the
hand which held the revolver.
While the robber was in this position,
the grocer snatched the weapon away
from him and pointed it at the other
rascal. 1t turned out that the second
robber had no pistol. Hubert COM
manded him to put up his hands, which
he did
Meantime the first man was insensi-
bic from the terrible blow which HUI
bert had dealt him. Hubert made the
second hold up his hands for ten min
utes, until the first had recovered his
senses. Then he commanded the first
to get up, and told theIa both to march.
which they did.
Thus the grocer took them both into
the town of Roy, the boy driving close
behind with the horses and wagon.
At Roy the thwarted highwaymen were
turned over to constable and locked
up, and the grocer went on his way to
Tacoma

GLENDALE JOTTINGS.
Notes of Interest From a Quiet Com
 munity.

GLENDALE, Ariz., Jan. 31, 1896.
 IEdior Republican-The late rains did immense good to crops in this sec tion. This isn't King Pluvius' native realm, but he occasionally visits his brother, King Sol, and we're glad to see him, though we're sorry he doesn't live here.
 The mountains north of us were crowned with snow yesterday. One of the prettiest sights to the visitor and one that never loses it's charm for the resident, are these lords of the hills clad in their snowy mantle, dazzling and magnificent in the morning sun shine. Truly silver kings" are they.
 It is in order now for the people who kick about the condition of the roads to thank the county dads and Overseer Hammels for the improvements made during the last two months. The rains have put the roads in fine condi- tion and we will have highways fit for the passa ,ge of her royal highness, the carnival queen.
 Dr. Futile came up on this mornings train to perform an operation on MT. A. Boyd's little girl, who has been a cripple for long time.
 e. T. Hirst and Harry Adams went to Tempe yesterday on business con- nected with the livestock association. The association is expecting another car of hog wire fencing pretty soon. Dr. N. B. Cole, who arrived recently from Bloomington, H., with his fam fly, received a car of household goods, etc., for himself and W. M Grier, also from Bloomington MT. Grier has To- cated on land south of here. Dr. Cole has ranch property near here, but will live in Phoenix for the present. He will probably build in Glendale soon. We are glad to see such men as Dr. Cole settle among us.
 w. M Myers new residence is near ly completed. From the haste he is in one would judge he was planning something desperate.

THE MUSICALE.
An Enjoyable Evening and Larg'
 Attendance.

At the Churchill mansion last night was thronging of the multitude, a warmth of color and a wealth of har- mony. The occasion was the musicale given in the aid of the funds of Trinity Episcopal church. In attendance were hundreds, far more indeed than the most sanguine of the lady patronesses had anticipated.
 For this night the spacious mansion had been turned over to the ladies in terested and charmingly received and entertained were their evenings guests. The parlors showed the work of tasteful decorators, while beyond light refreshments were served to all who desired. "A majority of the con- trilbutors to the evenings entertain ment are local residents, yet no apolo- gies were necessary for the rendition of a single number Following is the list: Mrs. Henry l..

Dearborn has resigned ythe pastorate of the Methodist church here and will leave early next week for Chama, New Mexico, to take charge of a church there.
