Scared the Robber.

1.-The fact that a determined
stand is all that is needed, "
continued the western man,
was illustrated many years
ago by peculiar little incident,
which took place on the old
stage line running out of Tomb
stone, Ariz. Holdups used to
be frequent on that route; but,
strange to say, nobody okany
precautions against any such a
contingency. One day the stage
was carrying an unusual num-
Der of passengers, and while it
was going over an extremely
desolate section of the road a
masked man stepped from be-
hind a rock, leveled a shotgun
at the driver and ordered him
to pull up. He obeyed at once,
and the robber began the usual
programme by telling every
body to get out and range
themselves in line with their
hands above their heads. There
were several nervy men on top,
but none OF them cared to court
sudden death by taking the ini-
tiative, and it was impossible,
moreover, to say how many ad-
dional rufians might be lurking
behind the rocks. AT any rate
all hands were clambering down
when suddenly the door of the
stage was flung violently open,
and out leaped a big, fierce
looking man with a cooked re-
volver in each fist. At the
sight of him the robber took an
involuntary backward step and
fell sprauling over a round
stone. Both barrels OF his gun
went off in the air, and in the
confusion he picked himself up
and ran like a deer for cover.
He had horse on the other side
of the rocks, and in less time
than it takes to tell it he was in
the saddle and burning wind
across the prairie. He got
away; and now comes the funny
part of the story. While the
robber was beating his retreat
the big man snapped both pis-
tolls Intellectually at least half a
dozen times, and then disCOV

a MARVELLOUS DISCOVERY
A Buried City Discovered Near
Gallup, n. M.

That Arizona and New Mexico
have long been known by scien-
lists to be the old world of
North America, is no secret.
The thousands of ancient canal
beds long years since abandoned
and far above the present water
line, the numerous buried cities
of the plains uncovered, some Of
them of remarkable architec
ture, all of those ancient struc-
lures have caused wide spread
attention to be directed to these
territories.
S. J. Holsinger, land inspec-
tor for the United States, in
formed the Gazette that one of
the most remarkable discoveries
of the age has been made in
New Mexico, 75 miles from Gal
lup, and the government has
authorized him to proceed there
at once and see that the country
now being denuded by New
York parties, be protected.
It seems that a couple OF Ari-
zona prospectors who were
hunting in Arizona and New
Mexico for coal and minerals,
accidentally discovered buried
city of enormous dimensions in
a place called Cache canyon,
some 75 miles from Gallup.
Among the party was a New
York man. This gentleman

Word has been received from
Washington that Secretary of
the Interior, Hitchcock, would
modify his order in regard to
grazing the forest reserves in
northern Arizona, and would
probably throw the San Fran
cisco reserve open to stock of
all descriptions, without any re-
strictionS. The authorities at
Washington are beginning to
realize that they have been i'm
posed upon in regard to grazing
these reserves, and that it is a
scheme on the part of an un-
scrupulous syndicate to even
tually monopOlize that whole
area for their own purposes. 1t
is we'll known fact, to all OBJ
servant persons who are familiar
with the country embraced in
these reserves, that stock run
ming in the mountains, does not
affect the growth Of merchanta- :
Bile timber in the least. No kind
of stock will browse on young
pines. 1t is too thoroughly sat
urated with turpentine. 1t is un-
palatable to goats, and they will
feed on what no other animal
will touch. AS to its affecting
the waters of the Gila or Salt
rivers is equally fallacious. We
have had four years drouth,
and the scarcity of water is at
tributab BILE to that and that alone.
None of the water shed of the
San Francisco reserve, to speak
of, flows into Salt river, and not
more than one fifth of the wa
I
ters on the Black Mesa reserve
flow into the Gila. The greater
portion of the watershed on
both reserves empty into the
Little Colorado, thence into the
Colorado, and does not go near
the lands available for irriga-
tion by either the Gila or Salt
rivers, hence cannot affect their
water supply sufficiently to make
any material difference. These
facts can, and are being made
perfectly clear to the Washing
ton authorities, and there is
scarcely any doubt but the far
reaching and unjust order of
Secretary Hitchcock will be ma
terially modified.

The two boats maneuvered for fifty min
utes in the harbor with the idea of getting
close enough together for Sir Thomas and
his party TO get from the Dorothea TO the
Ruth and thence ashore. In the course of
this maneuvering the Ruth was almost
sunk by striking a group of piles. Those
aboard the Ruth provided themselves with
life preservers and looked anxiously at the
waves raised by the thirty-knot breeze.
Meantime the Dorothea lowered anchor
and hoisted il again three times and ended
by getting stuck fast in the mud with it's
nose rammed against the breakwater.

FRENCH MINERS ARMED
THEY ARE SAID TO POSSESS TEN
THOUSAND GRAS RIFLES.
Premier WaIdecI<-ROusseau's Reply
to Their Demands Is Unsntisfac-
tory and Trouble Is Feared.

PARIS, Oct 1S-The premier, NJ. Wal
deck-Rousseau. has replied to the secretary
Of the Miners Federation regarding the
governments intention toward the demands
of the miners for an eight-hour day. a
minimum wage and a pension of francs
a day after twenty-five years work, who
threaten to strike Nov. if their re-
quests are not granted. The premier says
the government cannot pronounce a deci-
sion on the eight-hour question until the
parliamentary commission has made its re-
port, while respecting pensions he recalls
that the Chamber of Deputies Will discuss,
during the coming session. a general bill
providing for wori0mens pensions. As TO
the minimum wage, the premier SAYS it is
a matter which should be freely arranged
between the workmen and their employers.
This reply cannot be considered very salts
factory to the men. whose federation com
mittee will meet Sunday and resolve
whether to strike or not.
The surreptitious distributions Of arms
among the miners of Montceau les Mines
has assumed a graver aspect lately. IL is
asserted that ten thousand GraS rifles,
from which the ritling has been removed
in order to avoid their seizure as military
weapons, are now in the hands OF the
miners. These rifles, however, are capable
of straight shooting up to $50 yards and
are dangerous up TO 200 yards, which Is
all that is required for street and barricade
fighting which tactics the strikers will
adopt in the event of riots.
The government has realized the serious
ness of the situation and announces that
on the declaration of strike all these
Gras rifles will be Immediately seized, un-
der the law authorizing such step in case
of urgency. Moreover extensive military
preparations have now been completed for
drafting strong bodies Of troops into coal
fields to protect the mines and nonstrik-
ers Strong hopes. however, remain that
the miners will recognize the folly of going
out on strike at the present time and that
they will either renounce or adjourn the
execution of the project

tested against his government being held
responsible for crime committed on

proof that Bulgaria is shielding the
Macedonia committee and that the Sofia
correspondents of the Politische Correspon-

were correct when declaring that
Macedonians. disguised as Turks had kid
naped Miss Stone and that a regular game
is being played by Bulgarian troops on one

gle prisoners over the border in order that

for every hair of Miss Stones head. Those
who know the facts see no reason to antic-
ipate any danger to her life.
