MODERN HlOnWAYMEN.
A Bold fioldup o. the hlll. The Passesxers
Of the Lewiston 'Ualostowa Stage Asked
to Staad and Deliver.

The UniOntOwn stage, en-route for
Lewiston was held up on the hin Tues
day night and the mail and express
rified while the passengers looked down
the muzzles of "big guns" There W IA
a genuine sensation in Lewiston We'd
Ecs''ay morning when the news circu-
lated that the stage had been held up
by masked men and the registered
mail aud express box stolen. Tue off,
GERS and mail and express agents
learned of the mater about 2 A. NJ,
but the rumor had no general circula.
ton Till business opened Wednesday
morning.
The main details of the story were
obtained from Geo F. Cooper, of White
Bird, a passenger on the stage aud a
compulsory factor in the events of the
robbery. The stage had reached the
top of the divide between Uniontown
and Lewiston, just at a point opposite
the big gate when the leaders SHE'D ut
some object in the road. The driver
brought them around and discovered q
man advancing rapidly from the road
side. He called halt, stepped in front
of the horses aud emphasized his ab-
rupt co mmands by covering the driver
with an ugly looking revolver. HI

out aid came to the horses heads. Hi
curiosity had gotten the better Of hi
fear by this time and lie began 10 siz'
up the robber. This, however, did no
suit the highwayman who ordered
him to face about and keep his eyes t,
the front.
Meanwhile the driver had pulled
the mail bags and express box from
under the boot and had dumped then
on the ground. After surveying th'
strong box the highwayman ordered
Cooper TO bring an AK directing hin

Pierce Mining Notes.

Geo. B. McCauley, one Of the large
mining operators of Spokane has be-
come interested in the Dunn Bros.
mine in Pierce, and Is making ar
rangements to operate the property on
much larger scale. The mine is q
dividend payer now and with improv-
ed machinery will be very valuable
mine.
A. J. Minard, of Chicago, recently
visited the Golden Gate mine and Is
enthusiastic over its showing of rich
free.milling ore. He took ore from the
ledge aud crushed it in a mortar dis
covering free gold in abundance. He
advises the purchase Of adjoining prop
critics and going down on the main ere
body 200 feet.
Ellis Small, an employee of the
Golden Gate company, was in town
this week. He reports new ls-inch
parallel vein OH Golden Gate, a body
OF very rich ore, some If it showing
$l~0 to the ton, and says in his

ton that I really feel that It II not
only due to myself but to the public
that the truth should be told. The
facts are: did not have Mrs. Taylor
under my care at all for this sickness,
or say she would die Of II either. Mrs.
Taylor came down from Cotton some
months ago with her husband to con-
suit me about her condition. ! WAS
reluctant to take the ease, knowing
tnat IL would be n troublesome one,
demanding more of my time than !
could well give to it, but told Mr.. Tay-
lor to fird place for his wife ana |
would treat her. On my way to treat
her next day he met me aud said that
they felt that / d,dn't want to take the
ease and that they had called 'Dr.
Brown" Now, ! was taught when
boy that there are some things one
cannot handle without getting sOiled /.
Yet there may be time in ones life
when such thing must be done.
Who is this man Brown VINO writes
his name with such long pedicIe
attached: He might tell the people
of lie wiston how he left Portland. He
might tell them that he was published
in one of the Lewiston papers by u
man who had been one OF his dupes,
AS one whom the public would DO wei
to avoid. He might tell them whether
IN spite of the many fake titles which
he attaches to himself, ard which, nt
respectable physician will ever do
whether the State Examining Board
has granted him u license or not, ant
ii not, whether he is not liable at Az.

day and Louise was not much better.
We reached San Francisco In 50 hours
from Portland, and went to the Bald
win Hotel where we stayed until we
could find suitable quarters for the win
ter. After q pretty good day spent IN
looking over the residence portion. We
settled on this place which is in "A very
desirable part of the city, and we feel
very comfortably housed on the second
floor of an apartment house, consisting
Of fiat with three sunny rooms fur

Lewiston can congratulate themselves
too on the fact that the prices o: the
necessities of life in Lewiston will

where to find it ut the roadside and
when it came it came he made Cooper
break open the express box. That teing
done he ordered the young man to
mount to his seat and told the driver
TO line out down the road. The driver
did not hesitute and the passengers
were not hunting stage robbers aud
were glad to escape scot free. The
stage rolled on into Lewiston without
further delay.
Cooper, who probably was in a con-
dition to see more than the Others,
says that there were three men IN the
attack ing party, the leader, man
directly behind the stage and another
at the lett resting his gun upon the
fence. He says that the latter covered
him with his gun while he made his
trip through the gate for an AK. He
describes the leader as man OF
medium height, about S feet : inches
of slight build. The conspicuous part
Of his make up was the dress upon his
feet. These he had wrapped in burlap
from gunny sacks till they were huge
in comparison to his statute. His
clothes were of some dark material
and he wore q soft black hat and had
his face covered with handkerchief
Col. John Lane and &. w. Morton
were among the passengers. They
describe the robber and the details
much the same as young Cooper but
will only certify as to one man. The,
confess that their attention was to-

Cotton and his crowd coming down
the hill with the remains of the mail
bags and strong hoX. 1t appears that
the robbers looted the mail aud express
on the ground and fled without leav-
ing any clew. There was nothing in
the express apparently for all the pack
ages left were unbroken and they
check up with the way bills. Two of
the mail pouches were cut open aud
the contents ritied. What was obtained
from this source is not known nor will
1t be known TIL official investigation
Ia had. 1t is thu ueht however that the
highwayman got very little for his
labor.
Sheriff Barton returned about 10 a.

the matter. He examined the ground
thoroughly and is confident that one
man did the job. The track OF broad

road. In his opinion one man, siX-
shooter and \ little nerve did the
whole business. He searched several

but could hnd no clew. The AK is
missing from the field Of action. 1t
could not be discovered among the

FAV0RS REPEATING 1T
GOVERNOR-ELECT MOUNT OPPOSES
THE METROPOLITAN POLICE LAW.
Believes i'm Local GOvernment-Gov.
siOners-Sibverites Rewarded.

Governor-elect Mount has upon two or
three occasions in private conversation ex-
pressed his opposition to the Metropolitan
police law. which requires that the police
department of all cities of over ten thou
sand. incorporated under the general law,
shall be managed by u board of three COM
missioners appointed by the Governor. Yes
terday a letter came To light written
by Governor Mount to a friend in New
Albany in which he indicates that he will
ask for the repeal of the law in his first
message that he sends to the Legislature.
The new Governor has always been a
stickier for the theory that local commu-
eminent and does not believe that a GEN.
tral power can properly manage the police
departments of cities at a distance. The
measure pure and simple, for the purpose of
throwing the police departments of the
State into the hands of Governor Matthews.
1t was originated and put through the Leg
islature by Senator John +. McHugh, of
Lafayette. who became SO famous for the
little political jobs that he got through that
session that the Legislature of 1898 be-
came known as the McHugh Legisla-
ture.' In Michigan City. New Albany,
South Bend and nearly all the
smaller cities the scheme has proven uit-
popular, though in Terre Haute opinion on
the subject is divided. When the law was
passed there was no demand for it from any
OF these cities except that coming from the
few Democratic politicians who wanted to
obtain control of the police departments of
Republican cities and use them as political
machines.
One Democratic member of each board
goes out of office by expiration of term
next Thursday, and Governor Matthews
last night announced their successors.
Wherever one of the retiring commissioner
happened to be a Bryan Democrat he was
reappointed, but if he was a National Dem
ocrat his head went off. This made good
men rather hard to find in some of the
cities, particularly in Lafayette. The APP
pointments are as follows:
Michigan City-Rudolph J. Kruger, to
succeed William Meese.

William Mack.

ATTACKED BY A BOAR.


Elias Tomlinson, a farmer living near
Clcrmont. went into a woods pasture 10
lock after some stock Saturday night and
while there was attacked by a large boar
which weighs about three hundred pounds.
The animal had been on the farm for two
years and was not looked upon as par
ticTlarly dangerous. and il was without
fear that Mr.. TomlinSOn went among the
drove OF hogs. He was suddenly attacked
and thrown to the ground. The boar sunk
his tusks into Mr.. Tomlinson's arm and
severely injured it. Mr.. Tomlinson is six
ty-five years of age. but he was spry
enough to manage TO get on To his feet
again and pull himself up into the fork
of a small sapling that stood near. His
fteen-year-ol boy cime to his assistance
with a shotgun and emptied six shells into
the mad boar without doing more than
binding the animal He then went 10 the
house and got q rifle, from which he and
his father sent eleven bullets into the boar
before killing il. MIR. Tomlinson was then
assisted TO his home. His wounds are Sc
we're, but not serious.
