Robbed of Sum of Money and
Watch by Companion-Cecil
MCGOWAN Arrested and
Sent to Colfax

An oyersupply of liquid refresh
ment probably figured prominently
in a holdup fracas which was staged
near the ra lroad tracks just east of
town Wednesday afternoon. Elmer
Upton, who for a number of years
has been employed as farm hand
on various farms near Pullman. an
preached Marshal Baymiller on the
street about ? O'Clock and related his
version of the affair, stating that his
new found friend had beaten him
nearly to the point of unconscious
ness and had robbed him of all his
worldly possessions, including a sum
Ct money and watch Upton was
badly battered about the head and
ears and bore a deep cash over the
left eye. from which blood was flow
ing freely. He was considerably the
y worse for whiskey and could not
state positively the exact amount of
money he had in his possession at
the time of the alleged robbery.
A few minutes later Cecil Nc
Gowan, alleged by Upton to have
been the holdup artist, walked down
Main street and was taken in charge
BY Marshal Baymiller and charged
with robbery. Upon being searched
the watch claimed by Upton and
$3.50 was found on his person. He
was taken before Justice Swain. but
was not in a communicative mood
and but little could be learned from
his infrequent mutterings. He stat
ed that he was miner by trade and
was last employed in B,sbee, Arizona,
having come to Pullman Wednesday
noon from ColfaX. He professed in
nocence as soon as he learned what
charge had been placed against him,
and upon being questioned as to
where he obtained the watch found

I he Road Proposition
From Fondis to Ebert

Week before last we experienced one
OF the most severe snow storms we have.
ever had, and as consequence the roads
are in such shape that it is almost i'm
possible for any one without assistance
to 20 any distance. On Thursday. Dec.
ith, Mr.. Taylor, our mail carrier, started
from lrondis 10 Ebert and got home
again on Monday evening all worn oot,
leaving one of his horses and wagon
along the road, leading the other horse
and carrying mail sack and scoop
shovel Since December 4th up until
today, Wednesday, December llth, we
nave had no mail and the chances are
hat under the good t?)'road system the
way the roads arc we, Will have no mail
.or several days yet 1t seems ridcu-
lpus for anyone to assume that it is the
mil carriers duty TO break and open up
he road all alone. as it is every body's
9enefit to have an open road at all times.
lhy could it not be made compulsory
Tor each one along the mail Ioute at
least to open the road tie next day after
the storm so that it could be travelled?
1t would be the best thing that could be
done on account of our daily mail, the
school, sickness or death. l have mile
along the public mail route and am
wiling in cdse of snow to put it in such
shape that it can be travelled if the
neighbors along the road will do the
same. Think this over and if you are
satisfied that it is a good thing to do put
your shoulder to the wheel. Let us
uHve the roads in such shape at all times
that a person can travel the distance
from Fondis to Elbert and return,
twenty six miles, in one day and not
three days.
