numerous protests voiced by local merchants and
publishers OF county papers The local merchants
maintain that the esta ablshment of the rura-

that farmers can no longer come TO town for their

village stores 10 the extent heretofore customary

The request Of the rebels is based on the fact
that they are in absolute possession OF all the
ports of Importance in the country except La

The reasons that the United States is applied
TO first is that the rebels would like TO main
tain the good relations with this country which
now exist between Washington and the Castro
Government, and also because the United states

ATTEMPTED H0LDUP.
Demanded $500 Right Quick and Cot
q Meat Axe.

Frank Edwards. who has beer
working on the water works sys
tenn. and John French, who blow
in Friday from st. Louis, were II,
two principals on one side Of q
holdup Saturday night, and Mr..
X. c. Detmers and meat axe
represented the side of the
holdup. Mr.. Detmers and the
meat axe were not heldup. The
meat axe was held sideways. After
the smoke cleared up, French
looked like he needed holding mp,
but he managed to get away and
was held up by Messrs. Frank
Spaugh and Pink Sprott Mr..
Detmers sti | holds the $500, and
the Jail holds French. We hold the
facts in :..;a case and they are
something like this:
When John French came in Fri
day he got room at the same
boarding house where Edwards
holds out. They were room mates
that night, and Saturday night
they started IN at Horns saloon to
fill up on valley tan. BY 0:40
they were just about ripe aud
French proposed that they go
home. They started, and Edwards
happened to remember that he hnd
had no supper, and was conse-
quently very hungry. French com
cluded that some Bologne sausage
would be about the proper thing,
and accordingly they went into
Detmers Bros. meat market.
Edwards stood at the door and
French walked up to the counter
Mr.. Detmers asked him VIII IT he
would have, and French demanded
$500. Mr.. Detmers didn't think
very well of his demand aud step
ped behind the ice box and got a
meat cleaver. BY this time Ed
wards had gone. Mr.. Dctmers
proceeded to kick French out of
shop and hit him with the fat side
of the cleayer. Messrs. Frank
Spaugh and Pink Sprott came
along at that time and succeeded
in catching Edwards and French.
They stayed in Jail that night and
Edwards was released the next
morning hy proving a good char
acter. French was tried before
Squire Young and was given
thirty days in Jail. Neither French
nor Edwards were armed.
