Makes Candy from the Cactus.

The San Antonio Express is in receipt
Of a box of Texas cactus candy from c.
r. Gimbel. an III Pas0 COnfectioner,
which is not only interesting from the
standpoint Of the person who is inter
ested I'm the various uses to which the
Texas cactus plant can be devoted, but
also is excellent candy.
The cactus plant has been used by the
Mexicans for years in making candy, but
Mr. Gimbel's idea is his own and he be-
lieves that he IS putting out a brand of
candy that is much superior 10 the pro
duct Of the natives of Mexico. He
claims that the cactus plant makes eX-

The box of candy mentioned in taste

SCANT PROSPECT OF
n CAPTURING HIGIIAVAVMANI

Butte, Mont, Aug. 25.--A special to
the Miner from Lake Hotel Yellow
stone Park. Wyo.. says:
1.-The lone bandit who yesterday
morning held up sixteen stage coaches
in Spring Creek canyon and robbed
1870 persons, has apparently made good
his escape, according to reports re-
ceived this evening from scouting par
ties of cayalrymen. The bandits trail
was followed easily from the scene Of
the holdup to point about four miles
south, where it was lost in a swamp
the outlaw abandoning his horse at
this point and proceeded on foot. BE.
yond this swamp the trial was found
again after great difficulty, as the
mans foot marks left little impress
sions in the ground This trail was
followed for a distance of about twelve
miles in southwesterly direction
when it was lost altogether in an
other swamp and it Is now only a
matter of chance luck of the desperate
being apprehended.
There is no doubt but that the ban
dit is headed for the famous Jackson
Hole country in Wyoming, about for
ty miles distance from the scene of
the robbery, and with the night ahead
of him, and acquainted with the coun-
try, tho chances are slim of his being
captured.
The section of country through
which the highwayman is fleeing is so
rugged and covered with underbrush
that pursuit on horseback is practi-
cally impossible and the soldiers are
following on foot
Contrary to expectations the robber
up to the time his trail was lost ha0
not sought the high mountainous
country, but had skirted along the
foothills. The Jackson Hole country
is a favorte rendezvous for horse
thieves because of it's remoteness from
civilization and abundance of game.
The sack used by the holdup in
which the tourists We're compelled u
drop their valuables was found in the
brush today, several hundred yards
from the scene of the robbery, to-
gether with the. empty pocketbooks of
the victims.
All efforts to learn the identity OF
those losing any considerable amount
in the robbery failed the Lake hotel
management together with the Vel
lowstone park transportation officials
and the Wylie company refusing to
give any names whatever of the vic
| tins.

that any question as to its financial
standing was ridiculous. Friends Of
the members of the firm declare to-
night that the collapse was due en-
tlrely to the closing of its regular
channels of business by the extraor-
dinary Saturday trading.
A thousand clerks, 1t was explained,
could not properly enter and transfer
the three-quarters of million shares
handled by the firm on Saturday with
in the space of time allowed by the
exchange rules for making deliveries.
Albert o. Brown, the head of the
firm, was before the stock exchange
governors Monday to explain tardi-
ness of delivery and it was announced
afterwards that his explanation as to
this feature of the trading had been
accepted. 1t was further announced
that the governors of the exchange
would appoint a committee of five to
thoroughly inquire into Saturdays
transactions us a means of restoring
public confidence and would punish
any members who had been guilty of
a transgression of the rules. The per-
sonnel of this committee had not been
announced when the failure of Brown
& Co. became known, but it was said
the events of the day had in no way
changed the purpose of the governors.
Saturdays trading will long be re-
membered in Wall street, With the
opening of the session of the exchange
there was an almost immediate plunge
in the shares of few active favorites
and in little while the ordinary units
of sale were raised from 500 and 1000
share lots to 5000 and 10000 shares,
and it seemed for time as though the
few brokers participating were play
ing game with so many pieces OF
paper In all this wild furry of buy
ing and selling of shares whose face
value amounted to millions of dollars.
there was little or no change In the
price of the securities so freely ham
died Suspicion of manipulation and
of the matching" of orders was also
urged and there was more satisfac-
tion than surprise when the govern
ors of the exchange met on Monday
TO inaugurate an inquiry.
Members of the suspended firm
early today declared there was Moth
ing extraordinary in their trading on
Saturday. The fact that the stocks
dealt in showed no great change OF
price, they declared, bewildered the
followers of the market and brought
about the widespread comment.

WYOMING ROAD AGENT
GErS OFF WITH $1,000.

St. Paul, Aug. 25,--A special to the

"The stage running between Cody

day and robbed by single highway
man who received as a reward for his

biity that the man who did this job
Is the same man who yesterday held
up the sixteen coaches in Yellowstone
park, but this Is doubtful. The same
tactics. however, were followed, the
passengers and driver being compcll-
ed at the muzzle of a rifle to deposit
their valuables at a point near the
road and they were afterwards gath
cred up by the desperado. The BAN

The first game of baseball to be

Enterprise and Wallowa teams for a

up $500 forfeit and the bluff was i'm
mediately called by Wallowa. The
teams have selected their players and

Sports from La Grande and Baker
city are now going to attend the
game and there is every prospect that
several thousand dollars will change
hands. Both Walowa and Enterprise
are going to back their teams strong

the largest crowd to be seen in Wal

More interest is being taken in the
