A bold Robbery.

The Northern Pacific depot at
Aberdeen was the scene of q desperate
robbery in broad daylight sometime
between 2:30 and O'Clock Tuesday
afternoon. Station Agent A. G.
Clark was at work at his desk when
some one came into the office, and on
looking up the agent saw heavily
built, bad-looking man, with black
mustache, and with mask over his
face just in the act of striking him
with murderous looking club. Be-
fore he could move the rObber struck
him on the head, which blow was
quickly followed by another which
stunned him. The robber then went
through the safe which was unlocked,
and took the days freight and passen-
ger receipts, together with money be-
longing to the agent, amounting in all
to about $500. Mr.. Clark was found
lying in the depot in an unconscious
condition. He was removed to his
home, where he soon gained con-
seriousness and gave description of
his assailant. The attack was made
at time when no one was near the
depot, and before an alarm could be
given the robber had fled. Several
suspicious characters have been about
the town, and Agent Clarke thinks his
assailant is one the parties who have
been hanging about the depot. There
is probability that it is the same per-
son that recently broke into the depot
at MontesanO, where he secured only
| 50. Agent Clark is a man 46 years of
age, with large family, and has been
the company's agent at Aberdeen for
about six years. The Sheriff is out
with a posse in search of the robber,
and there is no way of escape from the
country unless he walks out, which he
can easily be done. Superintendent
Joseph McCabe has offered reward
of 500 for the capture of the robber.

None But Ayers Mt the Worlds Fair

There was only one blood purifier
admitted at the Worlds Fair, Chicago.
1t was Ayers Sarsaparilla. All others
were shut out because they did not
meet the requirements of the Fair Com
missioners. Ayers Sarsaparilla only
was accorded the honor of an entry, be-
cause it did meet those require
ments. In other words, the Worlds
Fair authorities found Ayers Sarsapar-
lila to be an honest, scientific prepara-
ton, the only one of its kind they could
endorse. That was good testimony that
Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best blood
purifier made. Furthermore, hundreds
OF physicians say it is, thousands of
druggists say it is, millions of patients
say it is. Take it, ailins friend, and you
will say it is.

ASPIRANTs FOR PUGILISTIC Hon.
oRs.-It is said that the ever-vigilant
sluggers who are managing the Cor
bett-FitzsimmOns fight are already
sweeping their eyes over the horizon
to find a match for the champion to
be developed at Carson City. An ex-
State Senator of this city, who has
lately shown possession of consider
able skill in the manly art" has at
tracted their attention, and this, it is
said, has inspired other members OF
the G. o. p. to "shy their castors into
the ring" in the hope of attaining
fame by downing the victor. This
later bout occurred at an carly hour
Saturday morning, when the valiant
champions of good morals-Harry

Townsend and Frank Kingdom OF

Just who the distinguished honor will

that the old capital city is putting her

of renown, if not glory, is manifested
by the mercurial spirits lately dis.
played by her amateur pugilists.

Death of Chas. M. Bradshaw.

The death 81 Cha>. VI. Bradshaw, at
H. home in Port Townsend, Tuesday
night, has severed another link from
that eyer shortening chain OF hardy
pioneers. He died of Bright's disease,
after much suffering, at the age Of
GG years.
Mr. Bradshaw was born in Pcnn~vl-
vania, III 1881, and came to this state.
then part "f Oregon Territory, in
lN'l. He located ut Dung"nc>S, re-
moving Il few years later t. Port
Townsend. where he had ever since re
sided. He began the practice OF law
and filled for three consecutive terms
the office OF Prosecuting Attorney Of
the Third Judicial District which
comprised the lower Sound counties.
In 1868 Mr. Bradshaw was nominated
Tor Delegate to Congress by the Re
ru'.lcan>, running against Chas. :.
WIN ii' ~ II sui VI tNtIlllOl Nt"I Iitt'S,
of Indiana. Mr.. Bradshaw made Il
gallant fight, hut was beaten on the
forfeiture issue Of the railroad land
grant which had became exceedingly
popular.
In 1889, Mr.. B. was appointed Col
lcctor of Customs of Port Townsend
district 10y President Harrison. He
made an exceptionally good officer
and broke up the semi official band of
smugglers who had infested this dis
trict. The "ring," however, secured
his removal in 1891. This injustice, it
is said, produced a depressing effect
upon his mind which aggravated his
physical ills and doubtless shortened
his days on earth.
Mr.. Bradshaw engaged for Il time in
the shinglc business at Port Angeles,
but returned to Port Townsend in
1894 and ran for the Office of County
Attorney, but was defeated by the
enemies he had made in righteous
cause, that element constituting the
balance of power in closely contested
fight.
Since that time Mr.. Bradshaw can.
not be said to have engaged in public
life. The disease which was then
bearing him down, has ever since
kept him close prisoner to his home.
He was Il man of positive nature;
warm in his friendship but an open
and just foe. While his efforts in life
were attended by the usual degree OF
success, he dies almost penniless. He
leaves widow and two daughters,
and a brother resides at Dungeness.
He was member of Port Townsend
Lodge No. 6 F. and A. NJ. and of the
Washington Pioneer Association.
