BOLD ROBBERY IN
YELLOWSTONE PARK
FIVE coAcH-LoADs or TOURISTS
VICTIMS OF HiGHWAYMEN IN
NATIONAL FAIRGROUNDS.
Highwaymen Met With No Opposition
Because of Fact That No Firearms
Are Allowed In the Park--Two
Suspects Under Arrest.

Livingston, Mont.--A party Of TWEEN
ty-five tourists, including United
States Senator James II. Brady Of
Idaho, was held UP in Yellowstone
park on July by three highwaymen.
One of the tourists, a New Yorker,
named Rice, was fired at when he
jumped down from stage coach and
ran back to warn members of the
party following In other coaches.
The bullet fired at Rice fiattened
itself against q rock nearby. Rice
sped on and the bandits, realizing that
the sound of the shot would act as an
alarm, fed into the woods.
Soldiers from all parts OF the park
were ordered by telephone to the
scene Of the robbery, and two suspects
were put under guard.
The highwaymen met with no oppo-
sition because no firearms are allowed
in the park.
The scene OF the hold-up is in a
heavily wooded section, where there
are numberless peaks and bluffs. The
coaches left Yellowstone early Friday
morning. They had gone fifteen miles
when they were halted.
The bandits did not stop the first
coach, but the others were held up
one after another, and then were or
dered to drive on. The coaches were
making for the Fountain hotel, where
the tourists were to have their lunch
con.
Several Of the tourists took the
hold-up as joke at first, but the ban
dts rife convinced them otherwise.
Among the passengers who lost their
money and jewelry were many wo-
men.

with Archer. injured, manager
Bresnahan is taking a whirl at the
catching and some improvement may
be looked for. Archer is as good a
mechanical catcher as could be de-
sired, but the manager is out in front
alone when it comes to steering the
beavers. He holds them up and helps
with control. Vaughn pitched a
beautiful game to Bresnahan yester-
day for eight innings, and when he
showed signs of wabblng in the
eighth and ninth he was propped up
by the portly pilot in toppy fashion.
The Cubs came very close to los
ing the game in the seventh inning
and Vaughn would have been at
fault. Men were on first and second
when Old Honus Wagner came on as
a pinch hitter and busted one to right
for single. A runner, scored and
the other legged it for third. Goods
throw bounced badly and skidded
through Zim's legs to the stand. The
Pittsburgh runner could have scored
easily if the brain of the Pirate coach
er had not missed several revolutions:
No one backed up Zim on that
play. Vaughn should have been
there. He should have protected the
throw. The game was finally won,
so the miscue was overlooked.
An examination of the ball games
played so far in the Federal league
prophesies a good season for the new
major, full of interest, with a hard
race clear down to the flag between
at least four clubs. And the other
four carry the power to step in at any
time and upset all calculations.
Tinker is in second place to Brook
Ign, but Joe's team will require a lit
tie time to settle itself, with two
young men playing around second
base. The pitchers, too, are older
than those on some other clubs and
will take few days of warm weather
without anV strenuous objections

the men ever having associated with
each other before. All have their in
dividual way of making plays and
must become used to each others
methods. Jones will make them de-
velop whatever baseball brains they
have and if the supply is too small
other fellows will be found to fill the
positions.
Tinker is getting exceIIentIy pitched
games. With the batting strength
the team showed last year he would
be up at the top. And as a matter
of cold fact he has more batting pow
er, but the men were unable to sharp
en- their eyes on the spring trip and
must do so in regular league games.
RoWland's Sox pitchers are show
ing a few Cub characteristic and is
suing passes with a generous hand.
There is this consolation for Sox
fans, however: Those pitchers are not
inherently wild and will be frightened
up in a week or, so, when the team
Will take lots OF punishment before
it is licked
The team has exhibited excellent
recuperative powers. 1t can get away
to a bad start and then bat itself
back to,a fighting chance. That was

against st. Louis, and again yester-
day when Detroit downed the South
Siders.\
Brief and FeIsch have been meet
ing the ball squarely, and it is only
a question of time until the pill begins
to land safely with greater frequency.
In one st. Louis game Pratt had his
hands knocked apart with a Felsch

leskie so hard yesterday that the IL

Johns Fate.

A schoolteacher who was about to
be married visited an old friend, and
naturally the coming event was the
topic OF much of the conversation. The
young woman, whose plans were not
yet made public, thought it wise to
pledge the little four-year-old daughter
Of the house to secrecy. Accordingly
she called little Ethel to her, told her
that soon she and John were to be
married, and asked her to promise that
she would keep the secret.
Little Ethel went back to her play,
while her mother and the teacher re-
sumed their conversation.
Some ten .inutes later Ethel re-
turned, and whispered with great eau
ton, Miss Brown, does John know
anything about it?'-Youth's Com
