New York has gone out of fashion. Pie,
whose vogue was a mania a few yeaf s
back, has gone to join its long list of
dyspeptic victims. Where once it was
featured in unlimited variety in the
menu of the leading hotels and restau-
rants, it is now relegated to obscurity.

A RoBBER COMES TO GRIEF.
Attempted to Hold Up Stage and

STOCKTON, March 24-Messenger

a stage robber this evening at about
8 o'clock, about a mile and a half this

bullet through one of the robbers, and
the other ran.
The bullet struck the robber on the
left side of the breast, and it is not like
ly that he win live. He is described as
young and slender man, with black
mustache. Though many people of An
gels saw the robber after the shoot
ing, he could not be identified, and was
evidently stranger in the country.
A posse is out looking for the sec
ond man, but no report has been re-
cived from them. The wounded robber
will tell nothing of himself nor of his
partner in the attempt. Officials of
the express company do not say wheth-
er there was treasure on the stage or
not
A late telephone message from Angels
to the independent says that the rob-
Der had finally been recognized by at
least five people who had known him
about Angels. His name is Bob Muir
ply, and he has been woodchopper in
that country for some time. After the
stage had passed it was driven ahead
to Angeles as soon as Murphy had
been shot, the first report of the stage
stopping being a mistake. He got up
and walked about 500 yards to Braun
hogger's cabin, which is near the Key
stone mine. He told Braumhogger
that he had been shot, and that he
wanted him to send for a surgeon.
The physician says that the wound is
a BAD one the lung being pierced and
the man having lost much blood. The
ribs were badly shattered, and there
had been internal as well as external
henorrhage.
The officers assert that they know
who his partner in the attempt was,
but they decline to disclose anything
about. him. They declare that he can
not get out of the country. as the
streams are swollen and impossible
save at the places which will be watch
ed. They expect to report his capture
tomorrow.

 Figures are given showing the average of each pupil, average membership, av- craze attendance per cent. of attendance and number of times tardy. With the single exception of tardiness, these sta- tistics reveal decided advance over preceding years. Under the High school caption the report says:
 '.The total present membership is eighty-five, distribution as follows: Seniors, three boys, fourteen girls; jun iors, six boys, sixteen girls; sophomores, eight boys, fourteen girls; freshmen, ten boys. fourteen girls The graduation of { seventeen leaves the membership of the school at sixty-eight. The incoming class, however, can safely be put at about fifty, so that there is every proba < bility of an enrolment of at least one hundred and ten when the school reopens in September.
 The report further says:
 '.The closing month of the year finds the schools working harmoniousy and efficiently, and an excellent, espirt de corps is noticeable throughout the dis trict Principals, teachers, special teach CTS, pupils and supervisors are working together with mutual confidence and forbearance. This result is in no small degree due to the constant support of the school committee and the board of school visitors without which such con- ditions were impossible"
