from link to snapple bit was made to-
day. but the horse showed plainly that
his mouth troubled him. He got away
slow, and, fearing to hurt his mouth,
McCIeary drove him wide of the pole.
From the half on he was squared away,
doing the third quarter in :2S and the
last half in :5SA.
Patchen was fit for the race of his
life today, but the pacemaker failed to
come up fast enough and the first and
second quarters were seen to be slower
than Patchen could so. He came the
last half in 59H seconds, lowering his
record a quarter of a second, and fin
ished strong and we'll within himself.

Ukiah, Cal, Sept 2S.-Two masked
highwaymen held up the Bonneville
stage this afternoon, and J. R. Bar
nett, passenger, was shot and in
sItantly killed by one of the robbers. AS
the stage was passing through heav-
lily wooded part of the road, seven
miles from here, the bandits suddenly
appeared and ordered the driver to
stop.
Barnett, who was seated on the rear
of the stage, heard the order and
plunged his hand into his pocket to Sc
cure and secrete his purse. The high
waymen fancied Barnett was about to
draw a pistol and fired MS shotgun, the
charge striking Barnett in the neck,
killing him instantly. The robbers then
secured three express boxes and disap-
peared.
Barnett was pioneer resident of this
county and a prominent citizen. The
Sheriff is now trailing the outlaws with
blood hounds. Suspicion has fallen
upon two residents of this vicinity who
bear a bad reputation. If the high
waymen are discovered they VIII un-
