A Surprisingly Bold Hold-Up
The R. g. Cashier Forced Hand the Money
Over a Bold Man Who Held a Big Gun.

to be one of the robbers. The prisoner,
who gave his name as Charles L. Swift,
was brought here Saturday evening and
lodged in jail to await preliminary
hearing on the charge of robbery.
Swift had about twenty three dollars
on his person at the time he was taken
into custody and the chain of circum-
stantial evidence against him is so
strong that there does not seem any
possibility that he can escape convic-
tion when brought to trial. He has
been positively identified by Jarrett as
the man who held him up and COM
PEELED him to give up the company's
money. He will be tried at the present
term of the district court.
At no other time could the robbery
of the D. & R. G. ticket office have been
accomplished so easily, as at nearly all
hours of the day and night there are
several men about the place who would
be witnesses of such an occurrence.
Later, since the above was written
three other men, who gave their names
as Harry Davis, George Welsh and
James Bradford, have been landed in
Jail for alleged completely in the rob-
berry. Learning that the men in ques-
ton had been seen in the vicinity of
Howard the sheriff of Chaffee county
and the city marshal of SaIida procured
buggy and drove down there to make
the arrest The officers discovered
their quarry eating their dinner under
the protection of shelving rock on the
bank of the river and crept upon them
unawares and had them covered by
their revolvers before the supposed
robbers were abls to comprehend the
situation. Under Sheriff W. l.. Hawk
ns and Marshal Mackenzie went to
Howard after the prisoners Tuesday
afternoon, bringing them here that
evening and locking them up in the
county Jail. There is every reason to
believe that all of the participants in
the hold-up are now in custody.

One of the boldest robberies that has
occurred in Canon City for several years
took place at the Denver 4 Rio Grande
depot about O'Clock last Friday even
ing, when three unknown men entered
the station builiing, one of them stand
ing guard at the door Of the baggage
room to prevent interference from that
quarter, another watching the ladies
waiting room, while the third knocked
on the window of the ticket depart
ment from the smoking room for the
purpose Of attracting the attention Of
Joe Jarrett, the night operator, who
happened to be the only man in the
Office at the time.
When Jarrett came to the window to
see what was wanted, he found HIM
self looking down the muzzle of a a
caliore revolver in the hands of a
stranger who demanded that the safe
be opened and the money handed over
to him as quietly as possible. As soon
as Jarrett recovered from his surprise
he informed the robber that he did not
know the combination to the safe and
could not open it, whereupon he was
told to fork over the money in the till
and be quick about it, otherwise the
gun would go off with deadly results.
Seeing the uselessness of raising an
outcry Jarrett handed out the
money, about forty dollars, after which
the robbers ran out in the darkness.

Mackenzie was notified of the hold-up

BarmaIds Not Encouraoed.

Preachers have been prone to Iiken New York to Babylon. Indeed, so often were they wont fcrty-odd years ago, to denounce this island of the free and the frisky as the modern Babylon, that Baby Ion became nickname for Gotham and an up-country man, when asked by a neighbor: 'Whar be ye goin' today would answer: "Ohl I'm for Babylon D thought as much, you bein' so dressed to kill. Look out they don't kill ye an dress ye down thar for a fatted calf" Now there may be some resemblance be- tween New York as we know 1t and Bab- ylon as we know of 1t; but 1t would seem as if the comparison would lie better between that wonder city of the past and London London is noted for it's bar maids and so was Babylon, whereas in New York the former attempt to intro duce this voluxtuous addendum to the liouor trade was failure and the pres ent move in the same direction is meet ing with no success. There are indeed a few a very few respectable resorts of foreigners, Germans chiefly. where the tables of drinkers are served by young women.

Washington. Aug 5.--Russias Red Sea
 play to the galleries of the world has naturally set the tongues of our local statesmen wagging with more or less of official sapience over the peculiar moot: What Is contraband of war;" General Benjamin F. Butler, one of the biggest brains and lagest hearts that ever happened into the gubernatorial chair of the grand old commonwealth of Massa- chusetts, created quite a gale of amuse- ment and at first incurred no little ridi- cule, when he decided that the colored brother during the war was contraband. But the generals ideas, if considered carefully, demonstrate a practical cor Ieetness. Anything in the nature of chattel that might give aid or comfort to an enemy can be logically pronounced eontraband by either belllgerent and fix ed in that status, If the belugerent be ready and able to enforce on other na- ltions it's own decision. It Is even think able that Russia or Japan might declare foreign newspaper correspondence to be eontraband, if they ehose-and their abil ity to enforce such a ruling would be q test of its value as new axiom of international law. Sherman during one of his campaigns practically established this precedent, for he drove out & cer- tain correspondent and confiscated all copies of his paper within the lines. He even went further than declaring the man and his wares contraband; for he threat ened to hang him without benefit of clergy" or trial of any kind, If caught again with the army. The man kept away for a year and then joined the army as a recruit. but he never went rear Sherman.

Great FIab Story.

Dr. Girdner, being a bit of waG, had a notary public attest the fact above al- luded: to-wit, h:s take in one days fish ing of over 5000 pounds of swordfish. that Roos-e-veltian rcugh-rider of daddy Nep- tune and professional duellist with whales; and he sent on the affidavit to some sportsmen friends who had been telling him unguaranteed fish stories. This feat however, Is not so great as 1t seems on tho surface. for the swordfish though a formidable opponent, Is very fcnd of sleeping In the summer sunshine, on the top of calm sea. You can ap- rroach him within easy pistol range with out waking him. Once, when I was bomb- laneing for whales off Provincetown in little steamer with Monks, the great sheep painter, who Is also fine sailor and handler of any kind of a boat we stole up on a swordfish so close that one Of the party, climbing down on the chains under the bowsprit within ten feet of tho monster, flung a harpoon into him at- tached to a thousand feet of line. After an hours fight we got the big chap along side. but in his death struggle he ran Lis sword sidewise into our vessel and broke off over two feet of It. He was thirteen feet 1erg-five being the length of his weapon. Considering his size, 1t seemed to me he was a welter-w weight for we only got three hundred eatable pounds off him. Swordfish steak was then N1uoted in Boston at twenty cents a pound. It Is of slightly deeper color than salmon, finely grained and Justly esteemed by epicures for cts rich flavor Dr.. Girdner doesn't state low he caught lis dozen; so I reckon he shot 'em with his playful revolver; not with his long range hot-air-gun. as rival sportsmen rnsinuate.

The reason so many southern medicinemen can be found in Manhattan is not far to seek In many parts of the south are no good medical schools. Hence aspirants for high rank In the profession come hither and others who are in practice, come to take postgraduate courses in some special line After awhile they suc- cun1b to the fascination of the vast city, and, though competition Is fierce here, end 1t may be a fight of years before they find their feet financially, many of them stay, who at first had no intention of remaining. If they do win, they win large. as Girdrer has done, who now, though Bryanite, Is worth good frac- tion of Il million. has a beautiful summer home at Block Island and can afford to cruise about and kill sword fish, a dozen Tn day-his latest exploit.

New York. Aug. 5.-"Oh. yes, I agree with you. miss is as good as a mile. " exclaimed the popular Park Row banker, w. H. Clarke, as a 'sizable' piece of terra cotta passed through the rim of his fifty dollar Panama, grazing and bruising his hand on its way to the ground. But 1 prefer the mile" The fragment that struck the banker and startled him for a moment out of his many couponed calm, apparently came like lightning out of clear sky; but in plain matter o'fact 1t had shot down from the apex of the sky scraper they are now grating onto the old Times building AIr. Clarke made light of his ruined hat and wounded hand; but, when this accident was dis covered, the contractor for this modern Tower of Babel, which Is to dominate Park Row, Insisted on presenting the banker with new tile. It is the latest agony in tiles, but is not of terra cotta even in color.
