LOST THEIR NERVE.
Two Men "Hold- Up'' the La Fortuna Stage They Weaken and Return
 the Money.

The La Fortuna stage was held up by two nien last Tuesday night while on its way from La Fortuna to Blais- dell. The stage left the former place with five men and one woman as passengers. Three of the men were miners employed at the mines, the other two were strangers aud had spent only q few days in the camp.
 Two of the miners were in hilari- ous state Of intoxication and bent on having Il good time while their money lasted. One of them paid $l00O stage fare for five men and when La Fortuna was left behind the strangers were apparently we'll under the "lnHuence" but latter developments proved that they were feigning drunknesS.
 Suddenly the heavens grew dark and the rain commenced to fall in torrents and in a few minutes the stage was travelling through water fully foot deep.
 Something went wrong about the harness and the driver stopped and got out to fix it. As he did so one: of the two strangers remarked he guess ed he would "hold up" the stage. Thinking it joke, one of the intoxi- cated miners said: 'I will help you out; here is $20 gold piece" The money was taken and the fellow in- stantly sprang from the stage and told the driver to remain where he was and showing revolver in the face of the sober miner told him to "dig up." While he was complying with the command, the miner who gave the $20 reached over and caught the pistol from the highway mans hand, but before he could re- cover himself from the lurch which accompanied the securing of the re- volver the partner of the highway man grasped the gun from the hands of the miner and ordered all hands aboard and told the driver to get in and "pound the horses over the back"
 On reaching Blaisdell the miners continued to drink and one got so far "gone" that he went out and took a sleep on a sand dune, when he awoke he found himself penniless and says he is sure he was robbed of 30 odd dollars by the strangers.
 The young miner who did not drink anything during the journey told the reporter of the SENTINEL that just prior to his taking the train at Blaisdell for this place the man who stuck the gun in his face went up to him and told him if he ever men toned the occurrence he would kill him on sight.
 He is of the opinion that the two men had fully intended to hold up the party, but when the miner took the gun away from the highwayman they lost their nerve and tried to make it appear that they were only joking
 A dispatch was sent here by the operator asking the Sheriff to go out and arrest the parties and a short time afterward another came saying ; It was only drunken affair and not ) to send an officer and as a result no .. officer went 10 the scene.
 The two would be robbers left there immediately and are now at large.

The Law OF Growth.

DR.: Charles Sedgewick Minot, pro-
fesscr CT histology and embryolcgy in
the Harvard Medical school, backs ND
his theory Of the law of growth by tho
results of several years Of observation
upon guinea pigs, dogs, rabbits, ferrets
and other small animals, as well as Bos-
ton school children. He says that in all
growing animal organisms from the
period of birth to death there is q steady
loss OF the power to grow, contrary to
the general belief that this loss begins
later in life. The body develops all the
time, but the power to keep up that de-
velopment steadily decreases after birth,
and it decreases much more rapidly at
first than later in life. A guinea pig
two days old will gain 10 per cent Of
its weight in the next two days. But
the twenty-ffth addition Of 10 per cent
to its weight will take the pig SO days.
The law is the same with animals and
