by lone bandit, according to tele-
phone message received late tonight.

sage gave no details of the daring
robbery other than that il occurred
iust north of Zortman and as the
stage was entering the little Rockies

ton is in a particularly lonely spot in

a trail there could almost hold half
dozen men at bay for hours.

Several of the Dundee whalers
have reached Scotland, and report
that the Davis Strait fishing is
complete failure. Most Of the ships
are clean, only two whales having
been captured in the strait. Another
vessel has arrived from Hudson Bay
with one small whale, and the Scotia,
which went to East Greeland, Sc
cured four, the produce of which has
already been disposed of. The Amer
lean fishings are also a failure, and
as the Dundee stock only amounts to
39hundredIeigh whale bone will prob
ably reach the unprecedented figure OF
$4,000 per ton. The cause of the
failure was southeasterly hurricanes,
which packed the strait with ice and
prevented the ships reaching the tish-
ing-grounds. Westminster Gazette.
