The Bandits Get Eight Thousand Dollars in Gold Bullion Officers in
 Pursuit.

Alvord and Stiles are still holding 'up people without fear Of capture. Their last break was made near Mag dalena. where they held up John Tcner and robbed him of SS.OOO in gold bullion.
 Tener, who is one of the principal owners in the K Iondyke, Il paying gold mine, situated at q distance Of about sixty miles from Magdalena, WAS com ing from the ID ne into town when the two bandits robbed him.
 They ordered him, at the point of their guns, to hand over the bullion which be was forced to do.
 Tencr was in wagon and Alvord and Stiles made him get out and they took the rig and drove away, leaving their victim alone in a desert country. He walked into little Mexican town and was taken into MdGdaleua where the rurales are quartered and told KosterlitZki Of the hod-up. The rurales are securing the country and KosterlitZki has at last been forced to acknowledge that the much wanted pair of dcspcradoes are in Sonora.

BAD CONDITION IN CHA COUNTY.
Two Hundred Thousand Sheep Have h.
 yaded the Cattle Ranges.

A very serious condition exists in the northern part of GiIa couniy, where the cattle ranges have been invaded by some two hundred thousand of sheep. which have not only eaten all the grass bat have consumed the browse and everything edible. The situation has been rendered more criti- cal by the prolonged drouth. Some cattle have died and heavy losses can scarcely be avoided. There appears to be no relief in sight for the cattle owners. who are among the best citi- zens, many of whom have been in possession of the ranges fof ,ears, have made improvements and annually paid their taxes. The sheepmen, on the other hand have no interests in the county, and contribute nothing toward its support, but are fast destroying taxable values and doing irreparable damage. The problem Of how to remedy this evil is difficult of solution. Belt

NEW ROUTE FOR (. Y. R. & p.
4 Railroad Story Comes from Globe
 TelIine of Probable New Route.

Locating Engineers WakulwicZ and Fletcher. Of Fl Paso, were at Globe last week quitting parties for the
 purpose of making locations for line of railroad from this point to the northward. Both engineers are rel:- cent about their movements, but it is understood that they are out in the interest of the Cananea Yuqui River X Pacific line, which has projected line northward from La Cananea to the coal fields Of northern New Mex leo and southern Culor-sa.
 The original proJect NP tnis com -..z---,.as to construct a rsT lroad north ward from Naco, AriE., through Pearce and Clifton, 10 Durango. 4 preliminary survey was made for this line some months ago and the part of the line from Cochise to Pearce was constructed. IL would appear from the fact that the two locating parties are now here quitting from this poiut to make survey northwarj, that change in the route is contem- plated.
 The stock Of the Cananea, Yaqui River X Pacific line is largely owned by Southern Pacific capital and so is that Of the Gila Valley. Globe X Northern and it is thought in certain circles here that the latter line is to be made a part Of the first, in case feasible and practicable route is found northward from Globe.

Old Dominion Litigation.

From the last issue of the Glohe Belt the following news of the Old Dominion is gleaned:
 The Old Dominion situation is prac- tically unchanged. The hearing in the latest suit is looked for Monday next. President Smith and his asso- cia.e7 are still confident that the mer- ger plan will not be defeated, and claim lack of New Jersey jurisdiction Mr. Fitzgerald says that the Pierce suit is the last attempt to block the proceed ings which he believes are detrimental to the interests of the stockholders.
 The bill of complaint in the Pierce suit is document of ninety-six pages. The principal allegation is that the directors Of the old Dominion gre in collision with the Phelps, Dodge X Co. interests; that they have made, and will make. such contracts as will iunure to the beBeft of the United Globe Mines and asscntiog stock hold CTS of the Old Dominion, but will be to ' ing stockholders. Further. that the Old Dominion is insOlveut in so far as the company had contracted for an ex- penditure of s7O0, GOO. and at the time did not have over S300, 900 to pay for the same. aud still needs S350 GOO to complete the work Also, that the plan Of the Maine Rolding company is unlawful. and is d cloak to evade and cjrcumvent the restraining order of New Jersey court which held that the absorption of the United Globe upon the terms proposed were illegal.
 The January prod uction of the old Dominion mine is said to have exceeded by considerable 900, ,0lO pounds. Trad. ing in the stock during the past week was extremely limited, with prices from 10 to l0i.

WRIGHT WAS
LOYAL and
COURAGEOUS.

London Jan. 27.-The Inquest over the
body OF whotaker Wright has boen
definitely fixed for tomorrow morning.
The tragic event is the one topic OF in
terest and is discussed in al its features
The possibiht OF the financier's escape
from justice by suicide was foreseen by
Detective Willis. who brought Wright
from New York Acting on hints dropped
by Wright during the voyage, Willis gave
the court officials a special warning TO
keep the closest guard over him.
Towards the conclusion OF the trial.
especially during Justice Bigham's
trenchant criticism, II became evident
that there could be only one verdict. so
II Wright was determined on self
destruction in the event or his convic-
tion he had time TO prepare a method
for outwitting the jailers as he must have
foreseen that an adverse verdict was in
evitable.
A strange document was found on the
seat in court which had been occupied
by Wright. showing that he had pre-
monition of his sentence This was n
sheet OF botting paper on which he had
up The Roman characters "VTI" were
thicky scattered over the whole sheet
This was before the verdict. but the
number comedies with the sentence he
received. In the middle OF the sheet
appears the word Intent" the last word
Wright wrote.
The opposition papers continue making
trenchant comments on the government
(which" they say. declined 10 do its
duty for reasons not shown TO have been
absurd in law. and which arc always re-
pugnaut to common sense"
"rhe handling Of this matter" SAYS
the Westminster Gazette has reflected
more discredit on the government than
its other mistakes with even graver con-
sequences. Distinguished people were i'm
yolved and some of them have had happy
escapes"
The Financial News on those points
says:
Wright might have made disclosures
which would have seriously discounted
some people; but. Wright was loyal as
we'll az courageous. and he carried his
secrets 90 the grave. To prevent others
from divulging what he chose TO con-
ceal he destroyed many papers. thus
| completing his sacrifice"

volver fully loaded. was found i'm
