Napa, Cal, Sept. 1.-THE Calistoga &
Lakeport stage was held up today by a
solitary highwayman, who made off
with the express box.
The scene of the robbery, known as
Desperate Bend" was an admirable
spot for the successful carrying out OF
the highwayman's plans. The road
there runs through heavy underground
! and coming suddenly around a curve,
the stage driver was confronted by a
masker robber who covered him with
shotgun, and ordered him to stop.
The passengers We're then commanded
to diSmount from the stage and were
drawn up in a row while the highway
man distracted the express box of
Wells, Fargo Geo, but left the United
States mail bag ulmolested.
Kind to Poor Preacher.
The highwayman then turned his at
tention to the row of eight frightened
passengers, whom he commanded to
deposit on the ground their money and
valuables. The Rev. c.. F. Coy, pastor
of the Methodist church at Middletown,
one of the passengers, was returning
home from the annual conference of his
denomination at Pacific Grove. He
handed the bandit S., remarking: II
am only a poor preacher, and that is
all l have"
Upon this statement, true to the ira
ditions of his profession, the highway
man handed the minister back 81 in
change. .'All right, pard," he said TO
the clergyman, there's one samolian for
luck"
Newton Stiff, an old resident of Mid
dletown, was another passenger. He
had a considerable sum in his purse,
but slipped the wallet inside his long
boot, giving the robber only the loose
silver in his pocket.
William Abbey, an invalid on his way
to Adams Springs for his health was
given back so cents of his enforced con-
tribution. In all only about $75 in cash
was secured from the passengers, in
addition to watches, chains and trim.
kets.
Officers In Pursuit.
The robber then plunged into the
thicket which adjoins the road, and the
last heard of him was a report which
probably indicated the blowing off of
the lock on the express box

The Times publishes the following
from johannesburg: Mystery sur

BITTEN BY A DOG,
Howard Van wyck Received an Injury
That Very Nearly Cost Him an Arm.

Howard Van wyck Received an Injury
That Very Nearly Cost Him an Arm.
Howard Van Wyck, formerly city at
torney in Milwaukee, and a son of
Judge Anthony Van Wyck, formerly of
this city, nearly lost his arm recently.
His bulldog Jack, which used to be a
curiosity on Prospect hill because of
the peculiar marking of his face, got
into fight in Marietta, Ca, where Mr..
Van Wyck is now living. Two dogs
we're giving Jack the worst of it. One
was the bull terrier owned next door
and the other was a mastif which the
terrier had called in to assist. Mr.. Van
Wyck tried to rescue his dog, with the
result that he was badly bitten in the
arm. The member became so swollen
that blood poisoning was feared and
the amputation of the arm was thought
of. Mr.. Van Wyck has now recovered
and writes to Kenosha friends that
hereafter Jack can fight his own
battles.
