The Ager-Klamath Stage Again Held Up Near the Scene ol the Last Similar Operation. It is an old saying that the farmer is a hard man to please and satisfy; no sooner is he thoroughly complaining of too much rain than the necessity for ir­ rigation stares him in the face and starts him investigating the latest practical and profitable methods. Exi»erience now confirms the claim that a Herculese Coal Oil Gas Engine solves the problem of economical, reliable power; and for once the farmer is suited, for a Palmer A Key Pumping Plant so operated gives him a chance of clearing fiis overflown lands, and. later on, of flooding his parched fields, besides using his engine lor cutting feed, sawing wood and run­ ning churns, etc. For the seventh time in its historv.the Ager-Klamath stage wan held up last Friday night. George Humphrov was driving, with but one passenger, Mrs. N. S. Buckner, u former resident of Ash­ land. From bin station behind a tree, with a Winchester rifle brought to bear on the stage by way of emphasis to his state* menta, he commanded the driver to dis* mount and throw out the mail laigs. After assurance that Mrs. Buckner was the only passenger, the lx»ld “road agent“ compelled the driver to open the mail sacks and put thetr contenta into a sack belonging to the robber. This done, he turned his attention to the personal I tank accounts of the driver and his passenger. The driver informed him that he had no money, but from Mrs. Buckner he received a small amount of change. Humphrey, the driver, being familiar with the general program of the hold- on his line, readilv el »eyed the commands of “hie majesty,*f the robber, but Mrs. Buckner liad her own way in most in­ stances. The singularity connected with the robla*r’s operations is that be wore no mask, but performed his work in an open faced manner. London A »Mir a nee.” CAST or CIIARACTKRS J Winter Approaches.
