14 THE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 190T. ROAD AGENT DOES TRICK US OF OLD Lone Robber Holds Up .Stage and Forces Passengers to Stand and Deliver. GETS $300 CASH; ESCAPES Gun 1'lashfMl in Tlioir FJicos as Kobbrr Turns I'ockrls of Victims Inslile Out Scene Within' Mile and a Half of Jacksonville. MKOFOKD, Or.. Feb. 22. (Sjwcial.) The Medfovd ami Rlue Letise Ftase was ln-ld up by a lone robber at a point one and one-lutlf mile west of Jacksonville $u ft oVlock this afternoon. Nine pas sengers paid toll and the robber escaped, nlthotiKh Sheriff Jackson and a posse are in hot pursuit. The robbery occurred In a dense thicket at the top of the Kill almost two miles west, but in sight of Jacksonville. Travel has been unusually heavy, owing to the rush into the Rlue ledse Camp, and two Mages were put on today. The first stage was allowed to pass, hut as the second rolled Into view a sharp com mand to halt came from the roadside, and a masked man, heavily armed, stepped into view. The driver applied the brake and the nine surprised passengers were ordered to pile out with hands up. When all were lined up in the road the robber cooly Informed them that the tinrt man to lower his hands would go to hell by a faster route than the stage line. After shifting a part of his arsenal to enable him to use his hand he turned the pockets, of each passenger inside out and transferred their valuables to his own. Just as this pantomime had been sat isfactorily concluded, a farmer living near Joe Bar drove up In time to add his mite of more than a hundred dollars to the robber s booty. The stage was then al lowed to proceed and the robber disap peared In the brush. The robber was about S feet 9 inches in height, wore a khaki coat, duck trousers and a soft black hat. His face was com pletely covered by a dark blue handker chief, anil he displayed a heavy Colt automatic revolver of large caliber and an ugly-looking horse pistol. He wasted no words, and his short sharp commands were not unattended by the usual .display of vulgarity. Among the passengers was one whose sole con tribution consisted of a "0 check this the robber returned with the Umark "Can't use it." Immediately upon the arrival of the stage itx Jacksonville, Sheriff Jackson organized a posse and started in pursuit The country is wild and mountainous and although the trail is warm pursuit is necessarily slow. The stage, being an extra conveyance, did n,ot carrv mall or express, but the fact that all" consio- ments of money for the mining camps are conveyed by stage has made the temp tation a strong one for hold-up men Had the Thursday stage been made the object of the robber's enterprise, he would have been many hundreds richer. The pro ceeds of today s raid will riot exceed J300. 11KOWXKM, MAKES A SPKECII JSeccivrs Piano From Glee Club on ISehalf of -Mlhvaukic. OREGON CITY. Or..

When play in the ninth international cable chess match be tween teams of ten players each repre senting America and Great Britain closed, the chances of the American team looked rather slim. Of the 10 games started this morning, the Americans had won one, the Britishers two and one had been drawn. Howell, with a gionoco piano opening, defeated Mitchell on the twenty-first move, but the joy of the Americans was short-lived, for the Britishers claimed a victory for Richmond over Morgan, the latter failing to observe the time limit. The rules called for 20 moves an hour, while Morgan, understanding ail that he was required to do 'was to make 40 moves in two hours, failed to keep within the limit on having made only 17 moves. On the tenth board Wainwriglit defeated Robinson, and Marshall drew with Burr on the first board. Play will be resumed tomorrow morn ing, but from the positions on the other six 'boards it seems probable Sir George Newnes' cup. which has been held for two years by the Brooklyn Chess Club, will take another trip across the At lantic. The teams represent the Brooklyn and City of London chess clubs respectively. C. S. Howell, a member of the American team, who is in London at the present, met Mitchell, selected by the London club.

Portland. Or., says: "In the sum mer of 1902 my body was ail broken out with eczema, tetter or something of the kind. The torture I endured was fierce. I was very much alarmed about it and anxious to know what it was and what was the cause, so I went to a doctor, and then to several others, but none of them did me much good. When I got the leapt bit over-exerted the annoyance was especially great and it kept me clawing and scratching. 1 was in bad shape when I noticed an advertisement in our paper about Doan's Ointment, and I got a box and tried It. It proved to be just what was claimed for it. Less than two boxes made a complete cure of my case, and later It cured my younger brother of just the same trouble. I know that Doan's Ointment Is one remedy that can be depended upon, and I would give five dollars for a box of It any time rather than suffer the way I used to for one day." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co.. Buffalo, Xew York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name Doan's, and take no other. A most wonderful.remedy for bronchial affections.
