EVIDENCE IN gibson CASE.
Testimony Taken Before Commits
sioner Cleaver as to
HOmesteading.

Evidence in the case of the United
States against Silas ellison of the
East Selah, for the cancelling of
patent to 120 acres of the finest dry
land in the Selah valley was taken
before Commissioner Cleaver of the
United States circuit court Saturday,
District Attorney Avery presenting
the governments side of the case. A
half dozen witnesses from the
Selah valley who knew the history
of the property were called before
the court commissioner.
The suit involves land that is
valued at about $4,000, which the
government claims was never prop
erly homesteaded. The action is
brought to cancel the patent to the
land, under the claim that ellison
knew at the time of his purchase of
the property that it had not been
properly homesteaded. The defen-
dant is represented by Attorneys
Gull, Luse & Davis, who have thirty
days for the presentation of their
evidence.

Vice President Van Wick vii, Not
Affirm OF Deny Important
Report.

Visit of leading officials of the Har-
riman railroads to North Yakima on
Monday and lheir two hour stop in
this city has given rise to the belief
that the Hartman system has some
connection with the North Coast
railroad, and that the great railroad
magnate is considering entering the
ce ter of " asaington on its tracks.
That this belief may be correct is
shown by the statement of one of
the officials that he could not either
affirm or deny the statement, al
though practically acknowled ging
tina .e knew of the situation.
Eight private cars bearing these Of
ticials OF the hartman lines and their
families passed through this city

SECURES GREAT Haul
IN NATIONAL PARK
Greatest Holdup i'm History of West
Occurs Near Upper Geyser
Basin.

LAKE HOTEL, Yellowstone Park,
Aug. 24.-The greatest stage holdup
in the west for many years, at least in
the number of coaches held up, oc-
Cured today within the boundaries
of Yellowstone park. The work was
done by lone highwayman and the
passengers were absolutely helpless
in his hands, as no guns were permit
ted in the park to either drivers or
tourists.
In all 1t is estimated from state
ments of the passengers that some
thing like $4,000 in cash was obtain
ed, drafts worth $4,000, and other
papers and transportation, besides a
rich haul in watches and jewelry. In
all twenty-one coaches left the Upper
Geyser basin this morning. The
highwayman was encountered about
five miles further at lonely point
along the banks of a creek which is
lined with bushes.
The first lot of coaches, numbering
seven and following eacn other close
ly, passed the place unframed. After
the first of the second lot of eight
coaches came along the highwayman
stepped from the bushes and ordered
the driver to halt. The robber did
not modest this driver or any other
driver. On the first seat sat F. Drew
of Orlando, Fla, and his stepson, p.
H. .McGaskin. Drew was ordered to
hand over what he had, amounting
to $50. Gaskin. a boy of IS, was or
dered to dismount and hold the mans
sack. This he did at the point of a
oil oil hn liy,n IF al oh no oh nc
In one of the coaches Forest Stew
ems of Wilkesbarre, Pa, gave ner-
vous laugh which seemed to enrage
the holdup man. Stevens was order
ed to dismount and also accompany
the highwayman. When he got ont
he started to go around the rig but
was summary ordered to come back
and get a whack over the head with
the barrel of rife for his pains.
When the last of the eight coaches
was reached the highwayman re-
marked he had a good mind to shoot
Stevens any way, and did fire shot
over his head.
Then both Stevens and Gaskin were
ordered back to their seats and the
drivers were ordered to move on.
These eight coaches had barely gone
when three more came along gone
these were gone through in a like
manner. In one Of the coaches M. l..
Walker, an Oklahoma banker, tried
to conceal $4,000 in drafts under
the seat. The holdup saw him and
made him dig 1t up.
Walker asked for his drafts and
transportation back but the robber
threw them in the bushes contemptu-
ously, telling Walker he would not
have touched his drafts If Walker
had not tried to conceal them. In
all about 125 we're held up, though
not all suffered financial loss. After
the coaches had been allowed to pro-
coed as quickly as possible message
was sent to the soldiers, and a detail
was started after the robber.
