HiGHWAYMAN NEAR BERENA,

Publishers Press1

Berena, Cal, July 9.-The lone
highwayman who held up five Yose-
mite stages near Ahwahnee, Saturday
night, has been captured. The name
of the bandit or particulars of the
capture could not be ascertained. The
arrest was made at Wawona.
Authentic information was received
here when J. F. Tibbett of Riverside
with his wife and Miss Amy Michel
hacker came out of the valley.
The robbery occurred six miles
from the stopping place at Ahwahnee
on the other side. At that place the
road winds around the side of a hill
and comes to sudden point. At this
point the robber stepped out and or
dered w. Palmer, the driver Of the
first stage to stop. The latter quickly
complied.
The highwayman wore black
mask and had sacks tied about his
feet to prevent the leaving of any tell
tale tracks as a clew for a pursuing
posse. He held in his right hand a
rifle and ordered the passengers to
alight. The women screamed, but the
robber emphasized his order and all
quickly got out of the stage and lined
up on the road with their hands above
their heads. II. w. Elliott of Horn
itos was ordered to take the express
box from the stage. While he was
waiting for the other stage to come
up, the robber shot the lock off the
box and rifled it's contents. The bandit
stopped the other stages in the same
way, lining the passengers up and
keeping them covered with his gun.
When all the passengers, 40 in
number, were lined up, the bandit
with a show of gaiety selected a
young and pretty girl as his assistant
and told her she was appointed col
lector. She hesitated moment then
went about her work.
The girl did not come up to the
robbers requirements and he told her
that she was a poor highwayman, or
dering her to get into the line and
appointed man to take her place, re-
quiring him to search the passengers.
An English woman and her daugh-
ter were in the party and when the
robber approached her she dropped
in a dead faint. He only laughed as
he searched her.

You are probably aware of the
fact that the few survivors of the
Lost Cause have a camp in your
midst, which meets every Sunday
evening at the court house.
Brotherly love, charity, pespetu-
alton of the cause doubly dear to
every true soutnerner, and the per-
fecting Of true history for our child
rem and their children, are tie prine
objects of the organization. The
men who bore the brunt of battle,
as we'll as their mothers, wives and
sisters, are fast passing away, and
in a few short years, at best, they
will all have passed from time to
eternity. Shall their memories and
their deeds of valor be forgotten by
their children or their grandchild-
rem?
The Sons and Daughters else
where say, mo" Live organiza-
tons of Sons of Confederate Vet
Grams and chapters of Daughters Of
the Confederacy are actively at
work, cheering the old heroes, re-
lieving those in want and distress,
seeking after, and writing up, the
truths of history, to the end that
their children and future posterity
may know the truth.
Why not the young men and no.
BILE women of Amarillo join in the
procession The city is populated
with high'toned business men,
worthy of your sires. You have
enjoyed privileges in preparation
for business of which your fathers
were deprived, from the fact that
they were battling for southern
rights; while your mothers, the
noblest women the world ever
knew, were acting we'll their parts

COUNCIL CONVENES
Special Session Brings Out rIuch
Business of lmpOr
tant Nature,


discuss matters in regard to some
of the streets, a public watering
place and the sprinkling PROPOSE
ton. Mayor Miller presided and
the following officers we're present:
Aldermen L, o. Thompson, n. A.
Mobiles, J. J. Holt and F. Shaugh-
messy; city attorney W, E. Gee,
Secretary Sam Brown and city
marshal John Snyder. Alderman
W, L. Thompson was not present
being absent from the city. The
reading Of the minutes and roll call
was dispensed with and the first
business before the body was
report from the committee of bust
ness men and the Commercial Club
in regard to the Polk street matter
1t seems to be the will of the bust
ness men that Polk street be clear
of all hacks, delivery wagons, etc.,
in fact all vehicles, and at the re-
quest of them the city attorney had
prepared an ordinance regulating
this. Messrs. D. W. Owen and E.
W. White as spokesman for the
committee and Secretary Shlreman
for the Commercial Club reported
that they had thoroughly investi-
gated the proposition of having all
hitching po IS moved from Polk
street and of prohibiting vehicles
from standing on that street, for
more than a reasonable length Of
time, and found that the sentiment
of the citizens who were approach
ed was with them. These gentle
men made an appeal to the council
to aid them in clearing and clean
ing up the principal thoroughfare,
stating that the sprinkling wagon
could not do service as it should
until these things were entirely
removed or regulated.
The matter was thoroughly dis
cussed and met with the approval
of all present, though the ordinance
that had been prepared did not
cover the matter as we'll as was
desired and therefore was not con-
sidered.
The idea seems unanimous that
all hitching posts, ETC., should be on
the side streets, and the ordinance
committee together with Attorney
Gee will present one to be acted on
at special meeting of the council
to be held some time next week.
The proposition Of securing a
public watering place was launched
and the immediate need of such
was plainly shown by the discus
sion that followed. While it is ev-
ident that the CITY has not the
means to dig a we'll and put in a
trough at present, the ideas ex-
pressed shows clearly that the
council is enthusiastic in the mat
ter and will do their part. The CO.
operation Of the city with the com.
mercial club and the county com.
missioners, is an effort in the right
direction and will likely be the out.
come of the proposition and will nc
doubt result in that much needed
convenience being put in.
Secretary Shireman stated tina
arrangements had been made fol
sprinkling the streets, the business
men of the city having subscribed
enough to pay the expenses Of run
ming the wagon.
A number of other things of i'm
portance to the city we're touched
on, but will probably remain on tn,
undeveloped list for several day,
at least. However, from the man
ner in which the city fathers tax,
hold and work on a proposition, |
is almost conclusive evidence tina
Amarillo will profit much. Their

One OF LnS DSSL InONSllSHbo bioS
has ever been made among the bus
mess men of Amarillo and one that
will likely result in more good than
anything else to the Panhandle
country was the organization We'd
nesday afternoon of the Panhandle
Exhibit Association. While the
prime movers in the matter we're
the real estate men of the city, yet
the proposition met with the APP
proval of all who were approached
on the subjectand as result when
meeting was called at the Com
mercial Club rooms, standing space
was ardlyavailable. Mr.. Foultz was
elected temporary chairman and P,
L. Person as temporary secretary.
c. J. Husky, in behalf Of the move
ment, made a strong appeal fer
such an organization, and enumer-
ated the many advantages to be
gained, not by one man or set Of
men, but by every citizen of the
entire Panhandle country. He
cited similar organizations that
have been perfected for the pur-
pose of gathering together the re-
sources, mineral and vegetable, of
country and exhibiting them, thus
advertising and causing an add
tional interest among prospective
immigrants to that country.
Other talks along the same line
were made and the unanimous SEN
timent for such body here, was
the result. A permanent organi-
eaton was effected with the fol-
lowing officers: Howard Wilson,
= chairman; r. H. McAlpine, vice
chairman; w. A. Crossett. secreta-
ry, and M. W. Cunningham, treas
urer. A committee was appointed
as follows to solicit membership
and exhibits: Robert Moss, chair
man, R. F. Smith, E. Cartwright,
Howard Wilson and W. A. Cross
EFT. The Finance Committee
P. L. Person, chairman, M. W.
Cunningham, c. j. Huskey, w. F.
Taylor, F. W. Zimmerman and W.
S. Roberts. Headquarters for the
Association will be in Amarillo, but
organization will be effected in all
Of the Panhandle towns. W. L.
Roberts was elected travelling rep
resentative to effect these organ
izations and left yesterday for
Hereford and Canyon City for that
purpose. Other towns to be visit
ed for the same purpose are: Plain
view, Bovina, Tulia, Hale Center
Lubbock, Running Water, Silver,
ton, Dalhart, Stratford, Charming
Washburn, Claude, Clarendon, Pan
handle, Alanreed and McLain.
1t was decided to fit out cal
with the vegetable and mineral re-
sources of the Panhandle country
and send it north and east in charge
Of several gentlemen, and which
will probably be out two or three
months. Work will begin at once
in getting up the exhibits and 1t is
the intention of the Association tt
have the car leave here the latter
part of August or the early part o.
September, or as soon after the
Farmers Institute as possible. The
car will be fitted up In a modern
way and in addition to the exhibits
will carry advertising matter, such
as booklets, circulars, etc, showing
the advantages of northwest Tex
1t is the intention also to have ster
eoptican views of northwest Texas
and, where stops are made for thu
night, an exhibition will DO giver
and addresses made by those whit
are with the car.
The organization Of this Associa
ton with the object in view is nc
doubt the initial step to one Of thu
