 H. NJ. CoIbath, of Gold Hill, N. M., father of the stage driver, Charles Col bath, and MT. Neel, a relative residing at Solomonville. Arizona. arrived Tn Globe last Monday. NIT. Colbath. Sr., after due investigation, being satisfied thas hls son knew more about the rob bery than he had been willing to tell, sat to work resolutely to unravel the mystery, and above all else to recover the.money. Aided by attorneys in the case, he prevailed upon his son to make a statement, the nature ofwhich IS un- known farther than that young Colbath agreed to reveal where the money was h1d, and on Tuesday afternoon II. M. | Goliath. P. I. Robertson, Sheriff D. R, Williamson and the prisoner, Chas. Goliath, went out on the road to San 1 Carlos to place about seven and a half miles from Globe, and one mile and half this side of where it was alleged the stage broke down, on July 3, and there within few feet of the road, un- der a mesquite bush, the money was found buried. It was in the original
 sack 1n which it was shipped from Fl Paso, and not one of the bright silver dollars; inscribed ''In God We Trust, "
 was msssing.
 The recovery of the money does not
 change the aspect of the case. The
 presumption was strong from the first that Chas. CoIbath broke open the box and took the money before he came into Globe, and the finding of the u ca
 sure strengthens this belief. but the
 confession of the prisoner-if he made
 oue-cap not be used in evidence
 against him.
 Another thing is pretty we'll estab = 4is,!,est .s That vauao Goliath did no
 reveal where the money was hiC eithe
 10 his mother or to Joe Chcain, whel . tbev went rrt from town to get tt stage. In order to relieve Goliath iron suspicion, Chrain was induced to writ the note on the express package leftiI the box, but it Is evident that he Wal | not party to the robbery. and on Wed
 nesdav Chrain's bond was reduced t $500 and he was released on his owl y recognizance. Chas. Colbath was als d released, bail being furnished in tn
 sum of 5000 by Messrs, Mart Taylor j. John Parks, ST. and Mir. Tidwell, a q of Solomonville. And thus ends tn = second act in the drama, and the cur s tain will not be rung up again unti ,f court meets next October.

A Queer Experience.
rChicnro Times-IIerald

Three years ago 1 was living m car and. travelling from town to town in the State Washington. In Cheney had a call from a real estate man. Some way or other the talk drifted to queer experiences. My friend told me he had had one such experience in life, and one only. Ten years before he was running a train out of Chicago as con- ductor on one of the Burlington lines. One morning after heavy rains, when there were freshets in the streams, he stood upon the plat form of a way sta- tion about three miles from the cross ing Of a small river, He was about to signal his engineer to go ahead, when a voice spoke plainly in his ear, "Look out for the bridget"
 No one was standing near at the time' He walked forward and said to the en- glneer. Jim, think you had better slow down at the curve just this side of tue bridge" ''There IS nothing the matter with the bridge" said the en- eineer, ''or we would have had wire from it.'' "Perhaps there isn't," re- piled the conductor, ''but you slow down all the same." There was sharp curve short distance from the ap- proach to the bridge, so near in fact, that it would have been impossible to stop the train after coming in sight ot the bridge had it been running at the usual rate of speed. The englneer slowed down. The bridge was gone. IL

4 Miner. uerol.n.

Heroes abound in every walk of life,
and many a noble act of devotion and
self-sacrifee goes unpublished and un-
known A serious accident, followed by
genuine act OF heroism, occurred in
western mine recently. A miner by
the name Of William Friend had pre-
pared and lighted two shots In a shaft
forty feet deep. and was being hoisted
out by a companion. William Overland.
As he reached the top OF the shaft, the
barrel upon which he was standing be-
came detached from the rope, and
Friend was precipitated to the bottom
upon the burning fuse. His right leg
Was broken in two places. and he was
50 bruised and stunned that he lay
quite still. awaiting the horrible death
from the coming explosion which
seemed Inevitable. Without a thought
of personal danger, but thoroughly
alive to his comrades fearful peril,
Overland threw the rope down again.
and made II fast to the windlass. He
seized II. and slipping, sliding. hand

tom OF the shaft. His feet touched the
rock and with the agility of a cat he
snatehed the burning fuse from the
loaded holesi The explosion was pre-
vented and his unfortunate fellow.

saved from Drowning.

The brave work OF a miller in saving
a little girl from drowning is described
By the Indianapolis Journal. The Eill
owner and his wife, 1t appears. had
gone to the city. leaving an eight-year-
old girl at home. With other children
she went down TO the mill TO play, and
BY some accident fell into the sluioe
which feeds the turbine wheel. The
head miller heard a scream. and Aot
knowing what had happened. applied u
brake and stopped the machinery. Then
he ran out. found the little girl Just
disappearing under the water and In he
went after her. Then he found him
self In hard place. The water was
eight feet deep and he was four feet
below the top OF the sluiee, the sides of
which were as smooth as polished
floor The girl was unconscious. How
was he to get her out? II took one
hand to hold her head above water,
and the other to keep himself from
sinking He must try to throw her
out, and this, by a great effort, he did
But the rebound drove him under water
and against the wheel, where he was
In great danger of being caught and
held. He came up again. however, and
now q new difficulty confronted him.
How was he TO get out himself? He
sank to the bottom, gave an upward
spring, and as he came up half-blinded
succeeded in catching the top of the
sIuice. Then, by the greatest exer-
tions he drew himself out. The girl
was still unconscious, but by vigorous
measures WIS at last revived.
