A BOLD ROBBERY
Four Masked Men Hold
Up II. A. Wylie Last
Night.

Robt. A. Wylie, the we'll known tim
Der cruiser, was held up about $3.50 last
evening on Market street, between L
and NJ by four masked men, and robbed
OF his purse containing 81.
Mr.. Wylie was on his way home,
ridinga wheel, when the four men Jump
ed out OF the darkness in front of him,
and jerked him from the bicycle, one OF
them striking him on the head with a
club as he fell. Upon 'egaining his feet,
Wylie shouted for help, when one of the
robbers stuck revolver in his face and
told him not to yell "like fool" viii e
the others searched his po kets. Mr..
Wylie had lis purse in his hand, AID
gave it up and was tol to ride ahead
and not look back.
He rode on to Washington street,
where he turned onto Heron, and came
to Maley's cigar store, when he reported
the robbery, and, securing pistol,
started back to find the thieves and if
possible recover his money. When he
reached the scene of the robbery his
assailants had disappeared, and the
authorities have no clue, and but small
hope of catching them, unless they
should repeat the trick. This morning
Officer Lucore found some pistol ca
tridges at the place OF the robbery, pre-
sumed to have been dropped by the
highwaymen while wrestling with
Wylie.

train, or got beWildered and ran directly
in front of it. She was struck by the
engine and her neck broken, killing her
instantly.
She was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

distressingly sad to them, is the fact
that they lost three of their sons in the

was instrumental in obtaining for dying

Today it has a membership of $4,000,

English Government Loses.

London, April 9-The parliamentary
vacancy in the Camborne division of
Cornwall, due to the death of w. S.
Game, progressive liberal. was filled to-
day by the return of Sir Wilfrid Lawson,
with an increased liberal majority. The
figures were: Sir Wilfrid Lawson
0iberaD, $685. Arthur Strauss liberal
unionist, 1859.
Considerable rowdyiSm marked the can
wasting. The students of local mining
college had frequent encounters with the
villagers. Sir Wilfrid Lawson's increased
majority was not expected, as he was
bitterly assailed for his so-called Little
England attitude He openly declared
the government ought to give back the
Transvaal and Orange Free State to the
Beers, and he also identified himself
with the ardent pro-Boer party.
Mr.. Strauss, who had already repre-
scented Camborne for five years, was
considered to be a strong local candi-
date.
The liberal success was due to the dis
affection of the non-conformist Cornish
men with the governments educational
measures.
Sir Wilfrid Lawsons election brings
back to Westminster a picturesque fig
ure, long known for his vehement in
terest in the cause of temperance.
Colonial Secretary Chamberlain sent a
telegram to the electors pointing out that
throughout the war Sir Wilfrid had in
variably sympathized with the enemies
of his country
