Gibbon, Neb., Is Scene Of Thrilling Bat.
tie Between Citizens and Yeggmen.
Gibbon, Neb., Dec. 20.-Automobile
bandits descended yesterday upon
this town-six desperadoes in bright
green touring car-blew up the safes
of the Commercial bank here, held the
inhabitants at bay with fusillade Of
revolver fire while they took $4,000
from the vaults and then whizzed
away with hastily formed posse Of
citizens in pursuit.
Earlier in the day the robbers dyna-
mited the safe of the Farmers State
bank of Keene, at Keene, twenty-eight
miles south Of Gibbon. There they
secured $4,000. A farmer, reused by
the explosion, saw the robbers as they
sped out of town.
Battle With Citizens.
An hour later the robbers reached
Gibbon and while four of their num-
Der began work inside the Commercial
bank two others kept guard outside.
Here the explosion attracted a number
of citizens to the scene, among them
G. r. Holloway, president of the bank.
Holloway, approaching the two men
stationed outside the bank, accosted
them, believing them to be acquain-
tances of his. For reply two bullets
whizzed by him, one piercing the hank
er's overcoat, but doing no harm.
While a posse was gathering the
robbers inside the bank kept steadily
at work, the guards meanwhile keep
ing up steady fire on the citizens
Finally the citizens partly surrounded
the building, and for fifteen minutes q
lively fusillade Of shots was ex.
changed.

BIG TREES SAVED.

STOCKTON, September 2.-The fire
that threatened the destruction of the
Calaveras grove of big trees is now
practically out. No further alarm is
felt, as the flames are fully under con-
troll. Some underbrush is still smold-
ering, but there is not the least prob
ability of the fire breaking out again.
Fortunately it did but slight damage
to the grove of mammoth trees. The
Mother of the Forest" is the only
member of the grove that was harmed,
the topmost branches of the tree, which
has been dead for several centuries,
being badly scorched by the flames.
This, however, will not detract from
the scenic beauty of the grove, but
rather, add to the interest.
The fire burned along the San An
tone ridge and covered several square
miles of territory. That the big trees
were saved was due to the gallant
work of the rangers and the settlers
of the district, nearly 100 men bend
ing every effort to save the wonders
of the Sierra.

REGULARS
CAMPED
SOLDIERS FROM FORT SKATER
HAD A SHAM BATTLE GOING TO
CAMP.

The battalion of the Twentieth in
fantry stationed at Fort Shafter re-
turned yesterday morning from three
days camp on the hills just above the
Moanalua golf links. The experience
was rather a bad one in some ways,
rain being hardly the most pleasant
thing in the world when camping in
shelter tents. On the first night of
the camp it poured and everyone was
drenched through.
When the four companies went out to
their camp a sham battle was part of
the program. e. Company went out
first with instructions to Lieut.. Nc
Cleary, who was in command, to am
bush the wagon train which followed
with the other three companies. A
good location was picked out near the
windmill at Moanalua and when the
wagon train came along there was
plenty of excitement. Scouts had been
thrown out and the ambush was de-
tected just before the wagons arrived.
Blank ammunition was burned in
quantities and the honors were about
even between the two contestants.
The usual parade took place last
night at 5 O'Clock at Fort Shafter,
there being a few town people present
to watch the ceremony. Next Thurs
day, when the Hawaiian band is pres
ent there will be much bigger crowd
to look on. The drill is remarkably
clean and snappy and it is well worth
a trip to the new army post to see this
and the improvements which have been
made.
The work of locating the sites fol
the new barracks and other buildings
for which the contract was awarded
recently is being carried out under the
| directions of Engineer Young. The
barracks will be located at the maka
end of the parade ground and on the
same end, on the Eva side of the drive
more bachelor officers quarters will be
erected

The color does not matter!
Myrtles Healanis, too!
Hurrah for the Regatta!
morn will scarce be born,
Ere city sons and daughters
Will make a run for the waterfront
And scan the harbor waters.
Bright holokus and shining shoes,
And hats with lei and feather;
A crowd to watch the straining crews
And pray for lovely weather.
Girls galore, and then some more,
And fellows full of fTolic;
And some will lunch along the shore
And kids will get the collie.
Candy carts viii draw sweethearts
And some will miss the racing,
For coy hooks and loving looks
May tempt to fond embracing.
But, never mind! The crowd will find
Enough to entertain
And freedom from the daily grind
OF labors tiresome strain.
And while the gallant lads afloat
Are losing or are winning,
For every fellow in a boat
There'll be a hundred Ginning.

morning for drive. Such a scattering
of yellow leaves along tree-lined lanes,
such sunshine, such a coachman (posi-
lively postilion), such welcome, and
such dinner. May your Thanksgiving
one be as good. The affair was a sue
ceess in every way, and the amount OF
sewing accomplished positively kills the
assertion that women can't talk and
work. With thirty women the quiet
was of that quality which modern novel
lists refer to as speaking silence. "

EXPERTS OPINION
OF MOUNTAIN
VIEW

Mountain View townsite was lately
visited by the government inspector, ac-
companied by government mining en-
gineer whose business it is to report
fraudulent wildcat townsites, with a
view to prosecuting the promoters.
After thorough examination of the
North Side claims, the mining ground
upon which the Mountain View town
site is principally located, including
sampling of the dump, shaft and drift
from the bottom toward the ledge and
looking over the surrounding mines, the
government expert expressed himself in
this wise: II am entirely satisfied with
the showing on this townsite, in fact /
have never seen better surface show
ing fer big gold mines, and number of
them, and have absolutely no hesitancy
in saying there are no wildcat loca-
tions here, either for unlawful townsites
or any other wrong purpose, and the
only wonder to me is that much more
development work has not been done.
feel especially interested in the ad-
vancenent of that crosscut drift from the
bottom of that shaft on the North Side,
to the ledge which shows SO strong on
the surface, a few feet ahead
