Highway Anairs?

Milton. Cal, Oct. 1.-Shortly after
o'clock yesterday afternoon three stages
travelling from Angels camp to TINS
place wsre held up by two masked Nigh
waymen and robbed. From the first stage
the robbers secured about S15 from the
two men and a woman on board. FIJI
teen minutes later the second stage
came along and the driver was ordered
to halt. AS ne did not pull up fast
enough the robbers shot one OF the
leaders and killed one of the pole horses.
frightening the other two animals to
such an extent that they dragged the
heavy coach and their dead companions
several hundred yards. Meantime the
robbers fired one shot with a rifle into
the hood of the stage, evidently for the
purpose OF frightening the occupants.
The bullet struck one Of the male
passengers in the arm and passed
into the side of another man who sat
beside him. The only other passenger,
woman, escaped injury. The trio were
also compelled TO hand over their mon
ey, about 500. The robbers then disap-
peared i'm the brush but emerged few
hundred yards distant and held up the
third carriage, containing two men and
a woman also. After relieving the
passengers and driver Of their purses
the robbers decamped with Wells-Fargo
e. Co.'S box which, however. contained
nothing of value. From the description
furnished Of the two robbers they are
supposed TO be the pair who recently
held the Ukiah stage and killed Mr.
Barnat.

SOME TALK OF CONTRADICTIONS.
DIR. Airport Spells "A State Contention
Features of the Trial.

DIR. Airport Spells State Contention
Features of the Trial.
There has been good deal of talk
about defense witnesses contradicting
each other and themselves and most of
the local papers have exploited these al
legged contradictions. Professor Dorsey,
in summing up the result of Saturdays
struggle, said the chief point made was
when DR.. Merillat said the femur was
the lower end. He admitted, however,
that Drs. Airport and Merillat agreed
that ii was a hogs femur, but he said
Dr. Airport asserted il to be the head OF
a femur, while DR.. Merillat said il was
the lower end. 1t was Professor Dor
sey's testimony that it was the upper
end Of human femur when he was a
witness DR.. Airport emphatically de-
MED, in an interview after courts ad-
Journment, that he had ever said II
was the head Of a femur. and referred
to the stenographic record, which sub
Stimulated his assertion.
Then he told the inside story Of the
Identification Of the bone Before Pro-
lessor Dorsey had testified concerning
IL ii was shown to him along with other
experts for the defense. They were in
doubt as to the true character Of the
bone, but from the first he and Dr. Mer-
HAT were convinced ii was not human.
William Charles was present. and as a
butcher he said he thought ii was a ham
bone. The reason he gave for saying
that was that there were so many ham
bones about the factory yard that looked
exactly like II. The next day he brought
a collection Of them TO the experts Dr.
Merillat then said II was the tibia OF
shin bone OF ham. and a long discus
sion between him and DR.. Airport fol-
lowed. The point on which they were
grounded was in considering Professor
Dorsey's testimony that II was the head
OF femur.
Finally DIR. Airport scratched off some
dirt and found the nutrient canal. and
that settled the point that il was the
lower end OF a ham bone, and Dr. Mer-
flat at that time agreed with him. and
the discussion Of its identity was at an
end. 1t was during this discussion that
Professor Dorsey learned the bone was
a left and not right one. and admitted
on the stand that DIR. Airport corrected
him on that point. The bones are all
that is left OF the states case now, with
the rings. Professors REESE and Long
have completely beaten down the chem
zeal theory. Reise made over 100 exper-
iments under the conditions prescribed

CLOSE OF THE BASE BALL SEASON.
Boston Flies the Pennant with "a Lead of
Fifteen Points i'm Percentage.

Chicago, Oct. 4.-After an exceedingly
close contest for the latter end Of the
season Boston carried away the pennant
Of the National Base Ball League with
a lead Of fifteen points over the cham
pions of 1896, and the base ball season
Is closed. For weeks previous to the end
1t was evident that the pennant would go
either to Boston or Baltimore and the
latter seemed 10 have the best chance Of
winning up to two weeks ago.. 1t took
the last week to decide which would
win, however, and that was done when
Baltimore lost a game TO Washington.
The closing schedule is given below:

of 1897 practically came 10 an end with
the conclusion of today's game at
