was robbed of $125 and $500 was taken
from Hepburn.
Two men entered the store, one by
the front door and the other from the
rear. the leader, who was evidently
an old hand wore a mask.
AS soon as they entered they turned
down the lamp that was burning and
covered Hepburn and one of the clerks
with revolver and marched them be-
stand up with their hands up and faces
to the wall.
They robbed the postoffice of $125
and then went through the pockets
of Hepburn. They then secured $500
from Hepburn's safe.
Just then Mrs. Hepburn called
through a speaking tube from the
house to inquire why her husband did
not come home, and one of the thugs
answered "Oh, don't bother us now;
I'VE are busy here
The strange voice created concern
and another clerk, w. III. Stokes, who
was at the house, rushed to the store
To investigate.
AS soon as he came into the store
he was struck on the head with re-
yolver and knocked down. The rob-
bers then went through his pockets

RUSSIA MOURNS FOR
HUNDREDS OF DEAD
[By Associated Press

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 22.-The
cholera dead are being inferred at
Preobrazhenskoe. which is about one
hour distant on the railroad from st.
Petersburg.
A train of several coaches carrying
the mourners and dozen freight cars
with the dead in rude coffins goes daily
to the place.
The scenes are heartrending in the
chapel where service is conducted un-
interruptedly night and day.
The scarcity OF grave diggers has
caused painful delay in the past few
days, 150 coffins containing bodies now
being stored in the adjoining wood
shed.
Several of the mourners have been
waiting their turn for several days.

Is Here a Great Deal

Nat Goodwin has made Venice and
Los Angeles his headquarters to
considerable extent during the last
three years.
He has a beautiful home at the
beach where he entertains frequently
his companions of the stage and desert,
for Goodwin is a prospector and fig-
ure we'll known to, all mining men OIL
Nevada.
While in Los Angeles Goodwin usu-
ally lives at the Alexandria.
At that hotel last night it was stated
Goodwin had not registered there for
several days, in fact, not since last
week. It was said by friends in Ven
ice that probably the actorminer is in
San Francisco, and they considered it
unlikely he would arrive in Los An
geles or Venice for several days.
While ne was not particularly COM
municative about his domestic affairs,
friends knew the breach between
Goodwin and his wife was such that
they would not, in all probability, ever
be reconciled.
Mayor Does Not Leave
Mayor Dudley of Santa Monica, 1t
was reported last night. was to have
joined Goodwin in Reno today, but
finding he would be unable to leave
Santa Monica, telegraphed to his
friend to that effect.
He believes Goodwin is still in Ne
vada, as he thinks he undoubtedly
would have received word from him
had the actor decided to leave Me-
vada.
Goodwin is credited with having
something to do with breaking the en-
gagement of Edna Goodrich. his for
mer leading woman, and Harry Nc
MILAN of Goldfield.
Mcmillan and Miss Goodrich were to
have been married this summer, but
after a hasty trip abroad, presumably
to buy her trousseau, the actress re-
turned-not. it is said, without having
seen Goodwin, who went to Europe
shortly after she did.
After her return to America Miss
Goodrich denied Goodwin had sought
70 break off the match, or that he had
tried to induce her to continue in his
company as leading woman.
However that may be, Miss Good
rich came to San Francisco, met Nc
MILAN and postponed the wedding.
Later it was announced the postpone
ment would be for all time.

no sign of her husband she tainted.
AS soon as Stokes brought her to
consciousness he notified Sheriff Nc
Auley and that officer, accompanied
by Deputy Sheriff Gum, set out at
once for the scene. They went over
the ground and tracked the thugs for
some distance. discovering where they
divided the spoils and found few
pennies, a purse and some other ar
ticles.
All the places along the road were
notified and a strict watch kept on all
trains. Several arrests have been
made, but nothing certain has yet
been developed

WITNESSES TELL STORY OF
BROTHER KILLING BROTHER

The inquest into the killing of Jo-
seph Taylor by his brother, Isaac Tay-
lOr, several days ago was begun yes
terday at Rosita. The evidence show
ed that a quarrel first arose between
Mrs. Ullery and Mrs. Applegate. Mrs.
Applegate, it seemed, asked Isaac Tay-
lor to cease plowing on Mrs. Ullery's
land. He refused and his brother Jo-
seph repeated the request. As Joseph
went for his rifle, Isaac fired two
shots just as Joseph was apparently
reaching for his gun. Mrs. Applegate
made many conflicting statements con-
.cerning the affair. The inquest is be-
ing continued today
