Insigoificant to What
Was Left Behind
OCCURRED NEAR CITY EDCE
Lone Bandit Gets $380 in Honey and
Watches, Bat Allows Ten Times
as Hncb and Hail to
go UotoDCtied
"Hands up; this is no Joke."
Uttering this sharp command and
backing it up with a leveled revolver,
a lone highwayman, with a mask im
provised from a white handkerchief,
stepped from behind a stump at the
roadside and held up the Roseburg
Myrtle Point stage one-fourth of a
mile south of the Roseburg city
limits, about 10:30 o'clock lust
night. The command was obeyed ln
stunily, and the highwayman then
lined up in the road and robbed the
fice male passengers, the driver, Tom
Duncan, and the manager of the
route, W. C. Benhani. He secured
about $45 in money, two watches
valued at $235, a silver watch and
chain of little value and two re
volvers. The mail was not moleBtud.
The robber was evidently a novice
in the business. ' He trembled consid
erably while searching his victims
and allowed over $2300 in money
and a sack of diamonds to escape his
rTlm FOREMOST DRY.GOODS ESTABLISHMENT OF SOUTHERN OREGON
clutches. Aftpr performing the Job,
he ordered the men into the stage
and said:
"1 hope I haven't offended any
one." "Oh, not at all," replied oue of
the passengers.
"Well, then drive on to Roseburg
and tell the sheriff," And when the
stage started to resume its Journey,
the bandit disappeared behind the
stump from whence he came. An
hour later Sheriff Kenton and Night
Policeman Carl Palm were at the
scene of the hold-up, but no trace of
the robber was found. At daylight
the search was renewed but up to the
present hour the officers have ob
tained no clew to his whereabouts.
The Identity of the robber is a
complete mystery. He Is described
as beiug of medium height and build
and possessing a peculiarly soft
voice. He wore a soft hat and a
dark suit of clothes, as seen in the
prevailing moonlight, and Mr. Ben
ham thinks that his revolver was a
new one, of the special 38-callbre
pattern.
Women Not Robtied.
Besides the five male passengers,
the driver and Benham, there were
two women aboard the Btage, Mrs.
J. Bartnett, of San Francisco, and
Miss Rooney, of Coaledo, Coos coun
ty, to Portland. The robber, appar
ently no more hardened than ex
perienced, allowed the two women to
retain their seats and did not ask
thein for their valuables. In a garter
purse around her lower left leg, Mrs.
Bartnett had a collection of diamonds
worth at least (1000 and in her
money purse was about $100. Miss
Rooney 'b purse contained $lf00.
Seated beside Benham. who was
holding the Hues while Duncan was
in the line-up on the ground, Mrs.
Bartnett became very nervous and
was on the verge of delivering her
valuables over to the bandit, when
Benham whispered to her to keep
still and not give up anything until
It was demanded. This sound ad
vice saved Mrs. Bartnett from any
loss. In the next scat behind them
sat Miss Rooney, so badly frightened
she could not move, which was prob
ably a fortunate thing for her.
Oiw Mini Suves $800.
The Ave male passengers on the
stage were W. M. Plum, of Portland;
Harry McChesney, of Klotus, Wash.;
John Hastings, of Bridge. Coos
The Home
of
Hart Schaffner
& Marx
Clothes
County, and two timber cruisers nam
ed McCrosken and Heald, who got on
the stage at Olalla. When the bau
dist ordered the men to line up on
the ground, Hastings, with presence
of mind, dropped his purse, con
taining $300, among the mall sacks,
retaining a dollar which he gave up
willingly. The robber was suspicious,
however, and felt around the seats
for Hastings' purse, and, of course,
did not find it. While thus engaged,
the robber had bis back toward Ben
ham for several Becouds, and Mr.
Benham laments the fact that he did
not have a. revolver on his person.
Plum was relieved of $5 in money,
a gold watch which he valned at
$110 and a Smith & Wesson revolver
of 38-callbre. McChesney gavo up
$15 In money, also a revolver a
Colts automatic. McCrosken had no
money on his person, having prob
ably followed Hastings' action, but
he was forced to part with a gold
watch worth $125. His partner,
Heald, turned over $15. Duncan lost
a cheap watch and chain and $3 in
money collected as faro. Benhani
had to give up what money he had In
his pocket, amounting to about
$4.50.
Although trembling a good deal,
the robber chatted humorously while
searching his victims, whose backs
were toward him. Upon relieving
McCheBney of his fine automatic re-'
volver, the robber remarked:
"I'd better take this; you mttzht
hurt yourself with it."
McChesney told the robber the
weapon was a borrowed one and
begged to be allowed to retain it, but
his plea fell on deaf ears.
After robbing the men on the
ground, the robber ordered them to
get back Into the stage. Then he
told Benham to get down from his
seat, and when the order was com
plied with the robber relieved him of
bis money, hut did not take his
watch, either overlooking It or not
wanting it. This done, Benham was
told to get back onto his seat and
drive on to Roseburg. Fifteen min
utes later the stage arrived at the
poBtoffice and word was immediately
sent to Sheriff Kenton, who, by the
way, is the former manager of the
stage line.

FAR AWAYAS EVER
Council Reaches do Decision
. on Bridge Question
FUNDS PLEDGED, HOWEVER
Sew Ordinance Passed Committee on
Judiciary Will Report on Tie
Vote io Ward So. 1
The passage of a new ordinance
and an hour's discussion of the Deer
Creek bridge question, without ac
complishing anything, were the feat
ures o? the regular meeting of the
city council Wednesday night. The
new ordinance bears on peddling,
soliciting, loitering and sporting on
the Southern Pacific depot grounds,
and reads as follows;
"Section 1. No person shall ped
dle or attempt to peddle or sell news
papers, fruit, sandwiches or other
eatables at or upon the railroad
depot grounds of any railwny run
ning through the City of Roseburg.
without permission In writing from
the owner thereof or the superin
tendent of any corporation owning,
controlling or operating such rail
road depot grounds.
"Section 2. No hack driver, hotel
or boarding-house runner, express
man, or stage line runner, or solicitor
for passengers or express or baggage,
shall solicit or attempt to solicit for
passengers or express or baggage or
patronage of any sort upon the rail
way depot grounds or any railway
running through the City of Rose
burg, without permission in writing
from the owner thereof or the sup
erintendent of any corporation own
ing, controlling or operating such
railroad depot grounds.
"Section 3. Bicycle riding, hall
playing, or loitering by minors, on
railroad depot grounds of any rail
road running through the City of
' .oseburg, are and each of the same
hereby prohibited and ninde un
wful. "Section 4. Any person who shall
violate the provisions of this ordin
ance shall be deemed guilty of a mis
demeanor, and upon conviction there
of before the Recorder of the City
of Roseburg, shall be fined not less
than Kive Dol.ars nor more than
Twenty-five Dollars, or imprisoned
not less than one day nor more than
ten days, or both, at the discretion
of the Recorder of the City of Rose
burg. The Bridge Mutter.
Councilman Curd well reported
that the three Roseburg banks had
each agreed to take $1000 in war
rants drawn on the general fund to
ward financing a ..ew bridge over
Deer Creek, an that they would
go Btronger If n pessary. Council
man Cardwell th n described how
easily the city could build the bridge,
with a competent foreman In churge,
but not oue of his colleagues agreed
with him. Councilman Fisher said
that R. Jennie, the well known coun
ty bridge builder, had prepared a
plan for a substantial bridge and
would like to submit it to the coun
cil. There was considerable objec
tion to this, a majority of the conn
cilmen standing by the plans drawn
by Engineer F. C. Kelsey. It was
agreed, however, to let Mr. Jennie ex
hibit and explain his plans at the
next meeting of the council. At the
same time it was voted for the city
attorney to draw up an ordinance
covering the construction of the
bridge.
The idea which appealed strong
est to most of the councllmen was to
adopt the revised plan for the bridge,
submitted by Mr. Kelsey. This car
ries an estimate of $8000. It is
fig u red , however, that th is ca n be
reduced to somewhere near $r000
by the substitution of wooden gird
erB for steel ones. To this Council
man Wright objected. ' He favored
postponing the construction of the
bridge until the street paving began,
at which time there would be enough
funds to allow for the steel griders.
He argued that It Is too late now
to begin work on the structure, and
that it was poor economy anyhow
to use wooden supports. The con
troversy continued for a half hour
without any understanding being
reached. It Is not probable, either,
that the matter will take definite
form after Mr. Jennie submits his
pians.
The Fh-ctlnn Tie.
Canvassing by the council of the
vote at last Monday's election dis
closed no change from the results
previously published. There was a
discussion, however, when the re
corder rend the returns from Ward
No. I, where Frank Clements arid J.
F. Culver each received 2H voles for
councilman, while the judges' teg
Inter of voters showed a total for
both of only dr.. a discrepancy of one
vote. The matter war finally refer
red to the judiciary committee, con
slating of Cardwell, Long and Cat
rick. The committee will report at
the next regular meeting.
Allowed Only $2.50.
City Recorder Orcutt reported that
some of the Judges and clerks of elec
tion had submitted bills for $4 ench,
as allowed by the charter, whereaH
the otllcial advertisement of the
election fixed their compensation nt
$2.50 each. Councilman ,M .colli
strenuously opposed paying any more
than $2.50 for the reason that the
work was worth no more and that
every olllclnl knew he waB to receive
no more when he accepted appoint
ment. Mayor Hoover put the matter
to a vote and the result was that all
but one of the councilmen favored
paying $2.50. The dissenting vote
was voiced by Councilman Ryan.
Other Mutters.
Marshal Norman was Instructed to
notify B. K. Page to build a walk in
front of his property In North Rose
burg. He wus also ordered to have
the sidewalk in front of the South
Methodist church property repaired.
councilman Worthlngton, of the
drinking fountain committee, report
ed that he had arranged to supply
"Hebe" with a back comb In the
form of mi electric light. He also
stnted that an Ice box was being in
stalled at the base of tho fountain.
Mayor Hoover announced that the
controversy with the upper Douglus
street property owners over the new
grade established by Mr. Kelsey hud
been settled upon tho agreement of
the city to pay 50 per cent of the
cost of the work. The city attorney
was instructed to draw up a resolu
tion to that effect
Tho matter of n greatly revised
grade on South' Main street was also
brought up. It was pointed out that
some of the property owners would
hove to excavate nine feet deep in
order to conform with the grade, lull
after considerable argument It was
decided that such work would have
to bo done; if Roseburg was ever
going to build Its streets In a city (led
way and look like anything the time
was now at hand to begin.
To the street committee was re
ferred tho matter or building n con
duit near the packing houses In
North Roseburg.
The city engineer submitted plans
for a proosed new sewer on Doug
las uiid Kane streets, and a resrlu
tlon to cover the .project was ordt ed
drawn. The sewer is to begin at
Douglas nnd Fowler streets and ex
tend to Douglus and Main streets,
with n branch on Kane street, as
far as Washington. The estimated
cost of the sewer on Douglas street
Is $U30 and on Kane street $280, a
total of $910.

Machine Shop, Foundry ami (iiimgo.
Soon to he Established
Messrs. W. Pilklngton, A. D. Daly
and R. W. Pilklngton, the Roseburg
blacksmlts, wilt soon establish un
up-to-date machine shop; In fact the
machinery has already been ordered
and it Is expected to be In place In
about sixty days, in addition to a
first class machine shop this firm will
have a complete foundry and black
smith shop ami also a garage.
In order to house this new Indus
try It will require a building much
larger than the present quarters of
this firm will allow, hence they have
secured another location, and will. In
a few days, begin the erection of a
suitable and substantial building.
When they have all their machinery
nnd furnaces In placo they will be
able to repair anything In the way of
machinery that may need repairs.
Their garage will accommodate
several automobiles nt one time and
they will make a specialty of quick
repairs to automobiles. Of course,
they will routine their general black
smithlng business.
Roseburg has long been In need of
a foundry, where one can have a
casting made on short notice. As It
Is now one has to send either to Eu
gene or Portland for a casting, no
matter how small or large. In the
future, and not Inter than Jan. 1st,
Messrs. Pilklngton and Duly will
be in a position to make castings
on short rotlce.
Really the people of Itosehurg and
vicinity tliuuUl be congratulated on
having such a complete foundry and
machine shop as will soon he In op
eration In our city.'
HUJIIT KIND OF ItOOHTIXO.
An exchnnge advises everybody to
boost, but in connection with the ad
vice offers the information that it
may be well to remember that boost
ing consists in something innre than
mere talk. Talk Is cheap, but talk
with acll:in is what wins results.
ItooKt Individuals as well as general
affairs. Whenever you Beo nn hon
est man struggling (o get ahead In
his business, lend him n helping
hand. Whatever benetlts him be un
lit h the whole community, and as you
are one of the whole community, It
benefits you. (let out of your crust
of selfishness, pat your neighbor on
iho shoulder and Bay to him: "Take
courage, I am with you and will
help you to win out." Open your
heart and lend a helping hand. It
does not hurt you and does lift up
some one else. Ho shall you become
not a "prominent citizen" perhaps

New York Loses Deciding Came
of National League
MATHEWSON AGAINST BROWN
Score 4 to 2 Attendance 33,000, Larg
est Ever Seen at Baseball Game
World Series Next
Special to the Evening Review.
NEW YORK, Oct. 7. Before the
biggest crowd that ever assmebled to
witness a baseball game, Chicago this
afternoon defeated New York by a
score of 4 to 2, winning the pennant
of tho National League. It 1b es
timated that not less than 33,000
people wero crowded lhalde of the
grounds and this number Is hardly
a third of the total that tried to gain
admittance. Excitement was at a
pitch bordering on hysteria and the
din during the game waa terrific. It
was the crisis of the greatest struggle
ever witnessed in organized base
ball. Just beforo the game started Pitch
er McOlnnlty of Now York and Cap
tain Chanco, of Chicago engaged in
a fist light, but other players sepa
rated them. McGinulty tried to push
Chance off the base during practice.
Following todny's game, Chicago, for
the second successtvo time, will play
a series with Detroit, winners of the
American League pennant, for the
world's championship.
Story of the Chime.
Pursuant to his own plea, Math
ewsou did tho pitching for New York,
nfter winning against Boston yester
day. Pfelster started to pitch for
Chicago, but at the end of the first
Inning, when a snfe smash by Ten
ny netted a run, he was relieved by
Monlccnl Brown, the phenomenal
three-lingered twlrler, who put Pitts
burg out of tho race a few days ago.
Chicago made no ruiiB In tho first
Inning. Scoro 1-0.
Second Inning Chance slammed a
safe one, but was caught napping on
the base. Stelnfeldt and Howard
fanned. New York: McCormhtk and
Biidwell flew out nnd Mnthewson
went out on nn Infield hit. No runs.
Third Inning Chicago: : Tinker
made a three-bagger, and came In on
tiling's hit to center. Brown Hew
out. Khulte hit for two sacks, scar
lug Kllng. Evers walked and Chance
hit n two-bagger which brought In
Evers and Hchulto. Stelnfeldt and
Howard fanned. New York made no
runs. Score 4-1.
Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Innings
Neither scored.
Seventh Inning New York: Dev
lin and McCormlck singled and Biid
well wnlked, filling the bases. Doyle
popped out. Tenny hit a fly and waa
retired but Devlin scored on the
throw-In. llerzog flow out. Score
4-2.
Neither side scored In the eighth
and ninth Innings.
Today's game was a play-off of the
tie of Sept. 23. when New York
would have ended the senson a pen
limit winner but for the foolishness
of Merklu, who failed to keep on run
ning toward second base when one of
his teammates was crossing the plate
with what would have been winning
run of the game.
AiiNtrlti Inviting War.
LONDON. Oct. 8. A .member of
the Turklh embassy declared today
that unless Austria relinquishes the
two provinces on the frontier which
she annexed Monday she will force
herself Info n war with Turkey.
Now help Roseburg grow.
