one who saw the performance says that
he hit two-minute clip.

The Winnemucca Robbery.

The Silver State gives these addi
tional particulars of the escape of the
Bank robbers:
The amount of money taken by the
robbers cannot be ascertained with
certainty at this writing It is some
whore in the neighborhood OF SIS, 600.
The bank offers reward of $500 for
any one of the robbers, dead or alive,
and like reward will be given by
Sheriff McDeid.
The robbers wore no masks and their
Identification will be an easy matter in
the event of their capture. The men
have been noticed about town for a
couple of days. They we're dressed as
vaqneroes and there nothing ip their
appearance to arouse suspicion.
The leader of the gang is small
man. not over feet 7 inches in height.
He has light brown beard. The
other men are about feet inches in
height. One is smooth shaven, the
other has a dark brown musta che. They
are all strangers hereabouts. The rob
bers are evidently old hands it the
business from the manner in which
they carried out this most da, .ng bank
robbery.

ceived from GClcOndO that u posse was

them, the robbers have not shadow

are brought to bay there will be q fight
which may result in the death or
wounGiug of some Of the pursuers. It

Goes have only one ride. and if his is
the case their capture should not be

NAL and mutiIates Cattle.

From the London Standard.
The rhinoceros birds OF Africa have long
enjoyed the reputation Of being friends Of
man. by reason Of the services they rem
der in Kidding cattle and horses Of insect
pests. From the days OF lie valiant down
to our times. travellers have written IN
their praise: and the accounts OF these
birds and their habits IL one Of the bright
est bits Of description IN Milals Breath
From the Vcldt." In appre liation OF their
good Offices they were awarded special
protection az the International Conference
on the Preservation OF Wild Animals In
Africa. held in London last May.
For some little time however. n has
been doubted whether their usefulness
had not been overestimat ted. or. at any
rate. whether the good they did was not
more than oounterbalanessd by the injury
inflicted by them on domestic animals IN
probing and deepening existing wounds.
These misgvings were strengthened when
Lord Phillips told US how the Arabs de
tested the rhlnoceros birds because they
worried the camels. and Hawker wrote OF
tho somaIis driving them away when they
tried to settle on the baggage ponies. Now
a much Eraver charge il brought against
them. backed up by convincing evidence
at least 30 far as regards one part OF
Africa.
Prof. Ray Lancaster has Just published
letter from Capt Hinde. Of the British
East Africa Protoctorate. In which that
officer says that. owing to the destruction
OF the native herds In Ukumbani by she
cattle plague. and the eating up OF the
sheep and goats IN the famine. the birds
were deprived Of their insect food. Ia
consequence of this they have become car
niv0rous. and attack any domestic animal
not constantly watched and protected.
Capt Hinde asserts that perfectly healthy
animals have had their ears eaten. and
holes torn In their backs and tanks. by
these birds with their large ana power
ful bills. This categorical statement puts
the alteration in their feeding habits be-
yond all possible doubt. and shows. In
the words Of Prof. Lancaster. that they
are dangerous and noxlous creatures" at
least in that part OF the protectorate Of
