BOLD HOLD-UP.
An Express Messenger Robbed of 81
900 Near Berwind, Colo.

Trinidad, Colo, April 26..-One of the
boldest and most successful hold-ups
ever committed in Southern Colorado
occurred at 10 o'clock this morning,
near Berwind. a mining camp about
eighteen miles northwest Of this city,
in which John Aiello and Robert Mac
estimated at from $4,000 to $4,000 by
four masked men. As there is no ex-
press Office at Berwind. it has beer the
custom for nearly a year to express the
money used in paying off the miners at
Berwind from Trinidad to Frankfort, a
small station on the Union Pacific,
Denver and Gulf, nearly three miles
distant from Berwind. and q then
conveyed to the camp by armed mes,
sengers. who would meet the train and
receive the money. The road from
Frankfort to Berwind leads up a canon,
thinly settled and with an abundance
Of underbrush and rock, the very best
kind Of a place for a successful hold-up.
Today was to have been pay day at
Berwind, and the money, which, from
the best information obtainable,
amounted to nearly $4,000 was sent to
Frankfort by express on the Gulf train
this morning and was conveyed to
John Aiello. manager, and R. H. Mac,
key. assistant manager. Of the COM
pany's store at Berwind. who placed the
money in a satchel and put it under
the seat Of the buggy they were riding
in. When within about a mile and a
half Of the camp. four men wearing
black masks over their faces, and buck
skin coverings on their hands, heavily
armed. commanded the two men In the
buggy to throw up their hands. Mr..
Aiello made an attempt to get his gun.
but was prevented from doing SO by a
shot from one Of the bandits which
passed through his coat and cut his
vest. but fortunately not injuring him
in the slightest. The firing Of the shot
frightened the horse. and Mackey at
tempted to get out of the buggy, when
another shot was fired, but did not take
effect on either of the men. The Sec
ond shot caused the horse to make a
sudden turn. almost upsetting the
buggy and throwing Aiello out and
dragging him some distance.
The leader Of the outlaws then COM.
manded two of his men to mount their
horses, which were tied within a short
distance, and overtake and capture the
runaway horse and buggy, which they
! did, and returned to where their con-
federates had Mackey and Aiello under
guard.
After taking their firearms away
from the men the robbers remounted
and in a few seconds disappeared, Aiel-
10 and Mackey returning to their horse
and buggy. drove to Berwind as quick
" n possible, gave an recount Of the
a6air. and telephoned the facts to the
sheriff at this city who. with a number
Of deputies. Immediately went to the
scene Of the robbery. Several posses

SPORTING GOSSIP.

Indications are strong that Yale and
Princeton have played their last game
of foot ball at Manhattan Field, and that
New Workers. will not again have a
chance to see any Of the"Big Four" on the
gridiron unless they go to Cambridge,
Princeton, New Haven or Philadelphia.
So far as Manhattan Field is concerned.
the game seems to be at an end there,
owing to a rupture between the foot ball
managers and the lessee of the field The
latter, 1t is reported, asked for 100 tickets
to the game, and because his request was
denied, announced that he would not
again permit the collegians to play on
Manhattan Field. The latter retorted
that they did not intend to play there
again in any event, and thus the discus
sion ended.
However, weightier reasons than the
dispute referred to will operate to take
the annual struggle away from New
York. For some years past the game
has been conducted by committee of
the University Athletic club, the menu
bers volunteering their services in the
interest of the sport. This committee
has practically decided to discontinue its
efforts, which have been admirable and
extremely beneficial to the game, thus
throwing the management on the hands
of the competing colleges Rather than
assume the responsibility, it Is asserted
the colleges will return to the old plan
OF playing alternately at New Haven and
Princeton.
August Belmont, chairman of the New
York Jockey clubs board of stewards and
the State Racing Commission, has been
looking over the yearlings at the Nursery
stud, Lexington. A few of them are said
to have shown indications of developing
into race horses. 1t is expected that the
late Rayon doris sons and daughters
will strengthen the Blemton stable ma
terially next year.
