Baker City, Ore, Sept. 2.-There was a
daring holdup at Bourne, in this county.
During the afternoon two well dressed
young men entered the saloon and gam

them.

as
Railroad news has been dull dur
ing the past week. The North
western company is the only one IN
the field. The right-of way agents
are now actually buying right-of-
way between Morgan and Marshall,
and the indications are that the
company will build that line this
summer, Notwithstanding the opin-
ion ofssome people that the exten-
sion will not be made unless the.
Great Western gets .too5close to the.
Northwestern territory
The Wabasso Standard says that.
intelligence was received there on
Tuesday of last week to the effect
that the Northwestern would be
built Oh the survey from Morgan to
Marshall. This is in harmony With
The GAZETTE's statement Of last.
week, regarding the sudden call of
Chief Engineer Hall to Chicago.
The Standard says that the decision
was reached after Messrs. Kirkland
and Gardiner went over the prelim
mary survey 1t further says that
is not known where the depot in.
Wabasso will be located; forgetting
apparently that the Northwestern
already has depot there, and that
it is not at~all likelyto build two de-
pots in one town That paper furth-
.er states that .here will be one sta
stion between Morgan and Wabasso,
aud two between Marshall and Wa
basso, the first Of the latter two be-
ing in Granite Rock township, prob
ably on H. g. Schmahl S half section
in 22. The road. according to that
paper, will be in running order by
falls and line elevators have already
secured sites.

sions.

Editor Mailer. Mr.. Hays had a talk
with Northwestern officials sand from.
them be learned that the new line
would leave the Redwood branch at
Evan, running straight through
Redwood county to Marshall. The
cause OF the change, according to
the Dispatch, is due to the fact that
the Evan line will be a cheaper
route to build. as the country to be
traVersed is less b1oken, and sec
ond thatit will be built on the pres
.ent survey of the Great Western
cute scheme, according to Editor
Hays.
