KENDALL STAGE HELD UP.
An Exciting Incident on the Kendall
Road Last Week.

A hold-up took place on the Kendall
stage road last Friday morning, a
short time after the heavily laden
stage left the city and the person who
committed the deed is still at large.
The occurrence took place ear the
fair grounds; Johnny" the driver,
was giving his entire attention to the
team, little expecting any exciting
incident to happen at that stage of the
journey, when amid the whirr of
wheels and the rapid hoof beats Of
swiftly moving horses. he was called
upon in stentorian tones to stand and
deliver. One glance, which took in
the immense size of the hold-up artist
was enough, and the driver brought
his team to a sudden standstill and
commenced to dig around in the front
boot for the mail bags. 1t was not
the mail bags that were wanted. how
ever, 1t was a charming demoiselle
who occupied the front seat, and on
her being handed over to the enter
prising knight of the road, the stage
was allowed to proceed on its journey
to the rising little town in the North
Moccasin.

feeling and was seeking a companion
