A ROBBER KILLED
"A Mining COmpany's Store Was
 Held Up.
Posse Came Up with the Bandits and a Battle at Once
 EnSued.

SoCoRRo, N. M.. Aug. lS.-For the past few weeks gang of rough charac- ters have been prowling around in cer- tain sections of Socorro county, robbing stores and ranches.
 A few days ago mining company's $ store at Graham, this county, was held up by three desperadoes, who robbed the manager of all the available cash at the store and then helped them selves to new supply of revolvers and ammunition. Several parties were at the store when the robbers were at work, but they kept quiet at the point of drawn revolvers, the bandits threat ening to shoot the first man that at tempted to leave the store.
 After securing all they were after, the robbers backed themselves out of the store and, mounting their horses, drove of for their rendezvous in the mountains.
 The robbery was at once reported to Sheriff BlackingtoD, at Socorro, and he at once sent Deputy w. K. Foster with posse after the desperadoes.
 The posse came up with the bandits about 20 miles from Graham and bat tie ensued in which one of the robbers was shot and killed. Several members of the posse received slight wounds, but they kept in pursuit of the other two robbers.

Among the many fads of Emperor William is his passion for collecting boots and shoes of famous people, his collection of these particular objects of attire constituting fitting pendant to his huge museum of uniforms.
