STORIES Do NOT HITCH
1t Is Extremely Doubtful If Ernest
Heitnar Was Robbed.
From Tuesdays Daily.

Chief Donahue, Saturday evening, call
ed up VIM. just of Rapidan, who first
reported to the police the story of the
alleged holdup of Ernest Heitnar, who
lives close to the store. He asked Mr..
Just in regard to the statement that one
of the robbers had a bicycle. Mr.. Just
said that Heitnar came to his store on
his return from Mankato and told sever
al different stories of how he had been
robbed, and said that one of the robbers
had a bicycle and followed him out Of
the city to see that he did not turn
around and come back. Heitnar, in his
talk with the police, said that he saw no
bicycle and that as soon as he had been
robbed. the men ran up the hill to the
east of the road. This conflict of state
ments confirms the police in their belief
that no robbery took place, and that the
story was merely hot air.
To make sure of the matter, Sheriff
Williams and Chief Donahue intend to
drive out to Rapidan today or tomorrow
! and have personal interview with Heit-
mar, and try to have him clear up the
! conflict of his statemtns with the known
facts. II he con do so. Until a salts
factory statement can be secured from
Heitnar, nothing more will be done on
the case. The county has already been
to some expense in the matter.
Several persons who saw Heitnar say
that he has pecularities, and they do not
place absolute reliance on the holdul
story as related by him.

yeneral advance in freight rates
 Just been made from all eastern
 kory, which will become effective
 ,rch 18th
 The raise will amount to between
 n and fifteen dollars per car. The
 olicy of raising the rates was adopt ed by the eastern line several months ago and it worked well and now the southwestern lines will adopt the same policy.
 One reason that is said to be the cause for raising the rates is that the companies have had to materially their scale of pay for the trainmen which resulted in an increase in the cost of operation.
 From sts board territory, which in, cludes New York, Boston, and practi- cally all the shipping points along the Atlantic coast. the following rates will apply to Fl Paso, under the new sched- ule:
 First class,fi s129; second class, s1.54; third class, $1.3S; fourth class, SIPS; fifth class, 95c; class 4, $101; class B. 91c; class 72 c; class D, soc; and class E, 54c.
 From St. Louis and other points in common oint territory advances will be made on the following commodi- ties:
 Agricultural implements. beer, crcckery an6 queensware, glass bot ties and fruit jars, hardware on cer- tain iron and steel articles, certain leather in boxes or rolls, mineral wa
 g "a, a., paints, starch and We denware
 On miscellaneous commodities from points specified, advances are made on cooperage, cotton piece goods. hay bale ties, wire and nails, cigars, to- bacco, peanuts, peas Cess than car loads), lumber, whiskey. alcohol. Col ogne spirits, high wines. and other al cohohc or intoxicating liquors.
 Fror St, Louis the class rates will be as follows to Fl Paso:

OFFICERS DID
 THEIR DUTY WELL
OPERA CLUB LODGING HOUSE
 WAS NOTORIOUS RESORT
Two of the Women Arrested in This Place Pleaded Guilty to Charge
 Review Report of Trial Correct


 Place Pleaded Guilty to Charge
 Review Report of Trial Correct
 The afternoon paper of Saturday, n half column article, the object of 10 make light of the action of City Marshal Henderson and Constable Ca sad in their raid on the Opera Club Lodging house, located on the second floor of the Jacks bull ding.
 After reading the Miners whitewash story one would almost be ready to testify that the second floor of the Opera club building was the regular meeting place of the Y. NJ. c. A The plain unvarnished fact is, that this particular lodging house had become a sterch in the postrils of decent people and the officers had it under careful surveillance for several weeks before they made the raid That their sus- picions were well founded is evidenced by the fact that two of the inn ates ar rested pleaded guilty to the charge and third is now awaiting trial.
 It was proper for the arresting off, cers to prefer charges against the proprietress of this place, and Co., chise county is perfectly safe. so far as any damages are concerned. The fact that the landlady of this lily white" rooming house was acquitted, ends the matter so far as the Review is concerned. The jury must have believed that the actions and deport- ment of the inmates of the place was unknown to the proprietress. but her actions and answers at the time of the raid was certainly sufficient grounds for her detention. The published ac- count of the evidence of the hack drivers was reported correctly in the Review. the Miners statement to the contrary notwithstanding and part of their testimony would not look well in print Tss
 Regarding the two women who were arrested and plead guilty to the charge preferred against them, the Miner comes to their defense with the following:
 ut JULIET INO "OluCb HI Iit HoucN were one who was known as a gam bIer's wife and the other the fancee of ] a man living in the house."
 After whitewashing everything in sight the Miner goes still farther and seeks to make it appear that the raid on the lodging house was the result of spite and animosity. This is pure rot and published for the purpose of clearing the skirts of the owner of the building. who is also interested in the | Miner.
 Instead of the people of this com munity being incensed at the actions of the officers. they are applauding If there are any more lily white lodging houses in this town. located on public thoroughfsre. the Review hopes the officers will ferret them out and do their duty.

Local Stockholders We'll Satisfied
 With Answer Made by Directors of Company, who are Defendants

or company, Who are perehoants
 We are very well satisfied with the answer as a whole" said NJ. J. Brown yesterday, while speaking about the answer of the defendants in the suit brought against the directors of the South Bisbee Townsite Improvement and Mining company.
 The plaintiffs in this suit, which in wolves nearly 5000 900 shares of stock in the South Bisbee company, have been waiting for over two months for the defendants to file their answer in the courts at Los Angeles. The answer to the complain of To- cal stockholders was due on February 20th, but did not reach here until a couple of days ago. It consists of 100 typewriter pages, and covers | fully the ground upon which the pend. ing suit is based.
 There are certain features in this complaint, which We do not care to make public for a time at least" said Judge Brown at another time. "The defendants have denied some allega- tions and have admitted others Their answer in a general way is not as strong as we expected"
 Attorney Neale, one of the members of the counsel for the plaintiffs. said recently that the case will not come up for hearing before some time in May. It will not be possible to get the under way before that time, owing to both sides wanting time in which to prepare
