Bold Robber
In National Park

Yellowstone Park, Wyo.. Aug. 25. -
A highwayman Monday held up IL
stage coaches five miles from Old
Faithful inn and robbed tourists of
more than $4,000. The bandit escaped.
Two troops of cavalry and a squad of
government scouts are in pursuit.
The work was done by lone high
wayman and the passengers were abso-
lutely helpless in his hands, as no guns
are permitted in the park to either
drivers or tourists. In all it is esti-
mated from the statements of passen-
gers, that something like $4,000 in
cash was obtained, drafts worth $1O,-
900, other papers and transportation,
besides rich haul in watches and
jewelry.
In all about 100 people were held up
thodgh not all of these suffered loss
When he ordered the drivers to move
on he stood few minutes with his gun
pointed toward them and then walked
down the road. AS quickly as possible
after a telephone was reached at
Thumb station, word was sent TO the
soldiers and a detail started after the
highwayman. The man is described
gray eyes, bristly, gray whiskers, and
acted either as man who was short
of breath OF consumptive. He I'M
dorstood German, as he answered ques-
tions asked him in that language. He
had on blush brown overalls, brown
shirt, soft felt hat, and carried an au-
tomato rife and used smokelesss pow
der.
Later Report
The total loss to the passengers in
the Is coaches held up by the lone
hiRhwayman is now estimated at $1O,-
900 in money and an equal amount in
watches and jewelry. The robber has
not been apprehended, although Major
Allen and detachment of soldiers and
scouts have been on the trail since the
holdup. The chances for his escape
are good. las the point where the holdup
occurred is near the jackson hole
country, famous as a refuge for crimi-
mails, and is reached from that part of
the park by several routes. This. COM
bined with the start the bandit gained
while the coaches were making the
drive of 3 miles to the lake makes his
escape seem almost certain.
The section of country through which
the highwayman is fleeing is so rugged
and covered with underbrush that pur-
suit on horseback is practically impos-
sible, and the soldiers are following on
foot. Contrary to expectations, the
robber. up to the time his trail was
lost, had not sought the high mountain
GUS country, but had skirted along the
| foothills.

WIN
PLEASES FANS

A miserably meager dispatch says
that Ketchel put Papke out in the
eleventh round in their third meeting
in San Francisco yesterday afternoon.
This is just what the sports here ex-
pected and there was much joy along
the Rialto when the news was received.
Many people were so interested that
they arranged for special cables and
the news was known in Honolulu a
few minutes after the referee had
counted the poor old Dutchman down
and out.
This result was expected here as
stated in the Advertiser. Such men as
Paddy Ryan who figure the dope from
past experience stated their firm belief
that Ketchel would take more care this
time and take no chances of "lucky
punch"
The former faith of the fans in the
great Stanley has been revived and in
the future he will be more of a draw
ing card than ever for having regained
the championship. Just as Battling
Nelson is more of a little tim idol THAI
he ever was.
What Ketchel IS intentions are is not
known. 1t is probable that he will do
the usual stage stunt for a few months
and then look round for new fields of
victory or defeat It would not be
surprising if he were to journey to Aus
tralia and look for the scalp of one
Tomasso di Brusso.
