Greek Letters on the Coast Seem In a Fair

San Francisco, Cal, Oct. 2.IThere is
civil war in the Phi-Gamna-Delta fra
ternity, with the members Of the Cali
fornia Alumni chapter and Delta Phi
ch2pter Of Berkeley on one side and
Lambda Sigma, of Stanford, on the
other. One chapter accuses the other
of GlsloyaIty and dishonor and the 9TH
e. claims that it's unprecedented course
is juStifiable, though they fail to give
any grounds for this conclusion
A circular issued by Alumni chapter
tfAat organization declares that within
the last few days the Lambda Sigma
chapter at Stanford university has an
nounced TO its friends and to US that
IL will repudiate its sworn obligations
to its fraternity, and form itself into a
local society, with the ill-concealed, but
fndubitable intention of becoming a chap
ter of the we'll known eastern fraternity
OF Alpha Delta Phi. 1t is only their
declared Intention TO make public this
fatter in the journals that has in
epired this communication. Their haste
Is due to desire 20 reach the ear Of the
public before the fraternity officials in
New York can take action
The Stanford men give no reason for
their withdrawal but they stoutly main

Citizens lake Hand In a Bank Robbery In
Oregon.
UaGrande, Ore, Oct. 1.-The First Ma
tional bank at Joseph, Wallowa county,
was robbed of $1,000 by three men. one
IF whom is dead, another badly wound
ed, while the third is being pursued by
posse of citizens
AT the time of the hold-up there were
three customers in the bank Cashier
McCuliy had coca sion to go into the
vault When he returned he was con-
fronted with a shotgun in the hands Of
a robber, and told to throw up his hands.
TIE customers had already complied
with The request and McCully did like
wd*e
One of the robbers leaped over the
Railing and opened the private door,
through which the men were made to
pass, and We're then lined up against
the wall. One robber took his position
at the door and compelled all pasSerSby
to halt, and throw up their hands. The
third rdbber had gone into the vault,
taking all the coin and currency, even
DO nickels, and placing them in a sack,
he then demanded from McCully the
keys to the private boxes and ransacked
Them.
BY This time the report that the bank
was being robbed had reached the citi-
zens, several Of whom armed them
selves and awaited the appearance Of
the robbers. When the robbers made
their exit from the bank Alex Donnelley,
a young man Is years Of age, opened fire
and killed one robber instantly and
wounded another, hitting him twice.
The third robber had the sack con-
tanning the coin and succeeded in reach

SECURITIES ORDERED SOLD
Northern Pacific Stocks and Bonds to Pass
to the New Corporation.


Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. Judge Jen-
kins in the United States court today
directed the receivers Of the Northern
Pacific railroad company to sell stocks
and bonds pledged as collateral with
the Farmers Loan and Trust company,
amounting to s33 ,167 500, to the North
ern Pacific railroad, the new corpora
ton, for $40, 275,0O0. The securities were
deposited as collateral for the collateral
trust indenture notes in May 1893 and
at that time were looked upon as the
cream of the paper held by the North
ern Pacific Railroad company. The
bonds and stock ordered sold include
consolidated bonds Of the Northern
Pacific company to the amount of &c.
$50, 600; Chicago and Northern Pacific
first mortgage bonds, $2,055. 900; Chi
cago and Calumet Terminal railway
first mortgage bonds, $4,200,000: st.
Paul and Northern Pacific capital
stock, s4,S1o, 600; Northern Pacific Ex-
press company's stock, $242,5O0, and
Chicago and Northern Pacific beneh-
cial stock certificates amounting to
SIS, O10,00
Under the terms Of the collateral
trust irrdenture, it was stipulated that
the consolidated bonds should not be
SOlQ Tor less UTAH 80 per cent VI liicii
par value; the bonds of the Chica go and
Northern Pacific for not less than 95
per cent, and the Terminal bonds for
not less than IS per cent.
The purchase price offered Is the
amount of the notes outstanding al !
secured by the bonds.
The new company owns s9.943, 900 OF
the notes. One note for $1,000 is held
by AN unknown party and the balance
is held in trust by the Mercantile Trust
company of New York, but the new
company has made arrangements to
purchase these holdings. The sale,
therefore, amounts virtually to a sur
render of the trust notes for the Secur-
tiles.
The Northern Pacific Railway COM
pany, intending purchaser, states IN its
offer that the price Offered is in ex-
cess of the market and actual value of
the securities and the Farmers Loan
and Trust company and the receivrs
coincide in this opinion In the sale

stocks and bonds under the foreclosure

cago and Northern Pacific passes.
