The Hyde Exploring company Of
Pennington bought four wagon loads
of grceries, flour and oats, of Duran
go mershants yesterday. This is sure
ly a plain refutation of the statements
that the organization of that firm
will hurt Durango's trade with the
Pennington region. That is too
well established along the line of mt
tual benefit What stimulates enter.
go as well. The Hyde company is
clearly manifesting that it recognizes
| that it will be to it's interest to main
tain trading relations with Durango
| So far as harming the town by with
irawing Pennington produce is con

ious to obtain their part of the mutual
benefit resulting from carrying on OF

Three toughs. run out of Silverton
answering to the names Phillips, Dur
fey and Reynolds, attempted to hold
up Charles Alpin, Silvertonian, last
night between 8 and 10 O'Clock. In
some way Mr.. Alpin had caught on tc
the fact that these modern Dick Tur
| pins were aching to relieve him OF
his superfiuous riches. Consequent
| ly he put his yaluables in the safe
of "The Bank" saloon, and at the
| time of the hold-up had no money on
| his person. The men had evidently
| followed Mr.. Alpin from Silverton
and were watching for him. AS he
| passed the Chinese restaurant on 10th
street in the rear of The Bank, they
sprang out on him. Alpin took a
| leap over the sidewalk and bounded
| across the street. The marshal hap
pened to he there and he and Police
| man Thompson Immediately gave
| chase. While there is no distinct
clue that the three men captured loaf
| ing in the stairway near by are the
hold-ups, they We're thrown in to
! await developments. The trio ap-
| peared before Judge HouX this morn
ing and were given until Sunday to
| get out of town. The same men have
been invited to move on from Ouray,
Silverton and other mountain towns,
and Durango doesn't seem to be anx-
ious for their presence.
