"A Heroic Defense Against q Lone
Highwayman

DENVER, Col, Aug. 5-A special to
the News from Lander, Wyo., says: "A
sensational story comes from the Sweet
water bridge to the effect that the stage
bound north was intercepted yesterday
morning at 2:30 at point three miles
south of the bridge. The driver says
that man on the side of the road called
to him to stop, and this he did not see
fit to do. When the individual rushed
forward and attempted to seize the
horses by the bits the driver drew re-
volver and commenced firing. Superin-
tendent Wees. who was asleep in a cor
ner in the coach, was awakened by the
explosion of fire arms and seizing his
Winchester, which he carried in the
COACH commenced firing at what he
thought was man, but was not certain.
The driver emptied his revolver and
whipped up his horses. The only con-
firmation there is of this story is that
the telegraph line was cut at a point
below the bridge at the same time and
later was cut again about fourteen miles
south of this city,

FIRE AT LONG BEACH
BUILDINGS ARE, DESTROYED
BY FLAMES
Occupants of Lodging House Have
a Marrow Escape-Exploding
Lamp the Cause

LONG BEACH, Aug. 6.-(Special
Dispatch) At 1880 this morning fire
was discovered in the twelve-room lodg-
ing house at the corner of Third street
ard Pine avenue. belonging to DR.. Hen
derson. The flames had attained great
headway when fret seen, and in a short
time completely enveloped the struct-
ure, the occupants escaping with diff
Guilty and saving little of their effects.
The town boasts of hook and ladder
company, and it responded promptly
to the alarm, but was able to do little
toward checking the progress of the
fire. Alongside of the rooming house
was a corral in which number of
horses were confined. They were res
cued in safety. From the starting point
the flames spread to several smalle.
buildings near by, and it became nee
essary to tear down several small
structures to stop their progress.
At this hour it is impossible to esti-
mate the loss accurately but
it will probably amount to between $4,000
and $1,000, which will be partially off
set by insurance. The lodging house
was totally destroyed, and the fire died
out for lack of food. The Economic
grocery e'tore was practically destroyed,
the building being nearly torn down
and burned, the stock deluged with
water.
The origin of the fire is unknown, but
it is presumed that lamp exploded
in one of the rooms Of the lodging
house.

THE LUX ESTATE
German Heirs Dissatisfied With the
Settlement

SAN FRANCISCO, August 5-The

satisfied with the share allowed them OF
the vast estate in which they are inter-
ested, have begun suit in the United
States District Court to have the set
tlement set aside and for an account
ing.
When Mr.. LUX died several years ago
his widow, Mrs. Miranda w. Lux, desir-
ed that the business of the firm of Mil
Ter & Lux be wound up, but was opposed
by Henry Miller, the surviving partner.
After several unavailing attempts to
settle the matter amicably suit for an
accounting was begun and long and
complicated litigation ensued.
The case was brought to temporary
head by the formation of one of the
largest corporations in this country The
basis of organization was the issuance
of $12,000,000 worth of stock, represent
ing the immense landed properties and
the various interests of the firm. This
was divided in proportion to the
amounts that the different heirs We're to
receive by the will of Charles Lux and
the troubles of the concern were appar-
emily at an end.
resident in Germany do not think they
have been fairly treated in the dstri-
button of the shares of the corporation
and that they have determined to fight
for what they deem their rights.

Divorce and Marriage

SALINAS, Aug. "a friendly mandamus
suit was brought against County Clerk
Kalar to compel him to issue a marriage Ii
cense to a couple, one of whom had not
been divorced a year, but who was divorced
about a week previous to the passage of
the law by the legislature, which pro-
hbits the marriage of divorced persons in
side year of their separation. Superior
Judge Dorm today gave judgment in favor
of the petitioner and against the county
clerk. In rendering the judgment the
judge said the law could not take away a
right already possessed by the petitioner.
and that the law could not be construed
to act retroactively and that the intention
of the lawmakers evidently was not to
prevent marriages but to discourage d.

Cleaning Cruisers

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The big bat
tleship Indiana sailed away from New
port today for Halifax, where she will
be docked, cleaned and painted She is
the first of the battleships that has been
sent from the United States to foreign
dock for lack of dockage facilities at
home, but it is probable that she must
be followed by her sister ship, the Mass
achusetts, and the Iowa, as it is not eX-
pected now that the New York dock will
be repaired in less than years time,
and there is no other dock on the At
lantic coast capable of receiving them.
