STORIES TOLD
Passengers Who Had Wild and
Wooly West Experience
Wear Roseburg, Talk. .
The Roseburg News of Thursday
gives the following additional details
ol the holdup and robbery of the
Myrtlo Point Btago near there
Wednesday night:
Mrs. J. Barnette, of San Francisco,
a passenger on the Ill-fated stage,
and probably the least frelghteued
person In the party, when Inter
viewed by a News reporter relative to
the affair said in part:
"As I remember now we were just
ascending the hill about one mile
south of the city when suddenly there
appeared beside the road an object
which I at first supposed to be a
cow. Not suspecting that anything
out of the ordinary was about to oc
cur I paid little attention at the time,
but on the contrary continued my
conversation with a friend who
shared my seat. In another instant I
noticed the object approaching and at
that time I first realized that a hold
up was In progress. The bandit, a
small built individual, garbed in a
suit of black with a slouch hat
and a white mask, first approached
the horses, at the same time calling
to us to throw up our hands. We
conceded to this demand without de
lay, realizing that it would be folly
to do otherwise. At that time he
came around to the left of the wagon
and in a harsh tone exclaimed, 'This
is no joke, I need the money. With
out further delay ho ordered the
passengers to the ground, and it is
needless to say that they obeyed, each
climbing down from his seat Imme
diately. Ho then lined them along
the road, at which time he rifled
their pockets of everything of value.
The driver, who was holding the
horses at the time, wits then ordered
down, being subjected to the same
search as the romainder of the party.
After completing hi3 work the bandit
ordered all hands aboard, and dis
appeared in the woods. Neither of
the lady passengers were searched,
being allowed to remain quietly in
the stage. We drove to town as fast
as posslblo and soon thereafter noti
fied the officers who went in puisult
of the lobber."
Mrs. Barnette had about $4,000
worth of diamonds stowed in her
stocking while Miss Rooney carried
In the neighborhood of $1,500 in
cash. John Hastings was also posj
sessed of about $800 but upon realiz
ing that a hold-up was in progress
dropped the entire amount between
mall sacks, thus escaping a serious
loss.
W. C. Bonham, who was driving at
tho time of the robbery, in speaking
to a News reporter relative to the
affair stated that ho believed tho job
was accomplished by a local party.
"As wo left tho scono of tho hold-up
tho man yelled, 'Now go tell tho
Bherlff, I hope I haven't offended any
pf you fellows.' In answer to the
foregoing one of our party responded
with the roply, 'Don't worry old man,
you haven't.' "
M. Plumb, tho individual with tho
$1, probably received tho warmest
roasting of tho bunch, tho bandit ap
pearing somowhat Indignant because
ho did not have moio money on his
person. When asked for his purso
Plumb said nothing, feeling content
to lose tho dollar and save the $800
which was ling peacefully at the
bottom of tho mall sacks.
Tho Rosoburg Revlow says:
"Besides tho five nialo passengers,
tho driver and Bonham, there were
two womon aboard tho stago, Jlrs.
J. narnett.o of San Francisco, and
Miss Rooney, of Coaledo, Coos coun
ty, to Portlnnd. Tho robbor, appar
ently no more hardened than oxporl
oncod, allowed tho two women to re
tain tholr valuables. In a garter
purso around her leg, Mrs. Barnette
had a collection of diamonds worth
at loast $4 000 and In her money
pur&o was about $100. Miss Roon
ey's purso contained $1500?
Although trembling a good deal,
the robbor chatted humorously while
searching his victims, whoso barks
wore toward him. Upon rellovlng
McChesnoy of his lino automatic re
volver, tho robbor remarked:
"I'd hotter tnko this; you might
hurt yoursolf with It."
McChesnoy told tho robbor tho
weapon was a borrowed ono and
bogged to bo allowed to lotaln It, but
his plea foil on deaf oars.
Tho Identity of tho robbor Is a
comnloto mystery. Ho Is deserlbod
ns of medium holght nnd build and
possessing a peculiarly soft voice.
Ho woro n soft hnt and a dark suit
of clothes, as seen In tho prevailing
moonlight, nnd Mr. Bonham thinks
that tho revolver was n now ono, of
tho special 3S-calIbro pattern.

THE LOCAL PAPER.
Felines Are Becoming Pest In
the Timber, According to
Cal. Wright.
The woods in this section are rap
idly filling with house cats that are
becoming almost as wild and danger
ous as the wild cat according to'
Deputy Game Warden Cal. Wright.
He says that tho cats are killing hun
dreds of birds, song birds and game
birds, and are a menace to things in
general.
Mr. Wright and Wm. Doyle just
returned from a trip to Smith's basin
and camo across large numbers of the
new pest of the woods. Mr. Wright
Is unable to account for the source of
the now trouble unless It is that the
house pats are breeding and Increas
ing In numbers more rapidly than Is! f
tne demand for them as pets, in
consequence of not being given at
tention and food around the homes, i jj
they are going to the timber where In
the course of a few months they bo- I
come wild. If the new pest continues Y
to increase in numbers, it Is not un- 8
likely that tho county will have to
place a bounty on them'.
While on tho trip to Smith's basin,
Mr. Smith and Mr. Doyle did not
encounter any big game and did not
see a bear. They secured a number
of fine trout.

The Best Medium the Retailer Can
Use to Adwrtisc.
In an address before a body of re
talleis recently Wesley A. Stranger,
editor of tho Office Outfitter, Chicago,
said of tho value of the local news
paper: The local newspaper is the great
est thing tho retailer has If he will
use It right, but a large proportion
are prone to believe that the editor
will tako caro of their" interests
whether thoy look after his or not.
This Is wrong. If merchants as a
class would only take advantage of
the opportunities that the local news
papers afford them they would reap
rewards far beyond their fondest
dreams.
While self preservation is the first
thing law of nature, editors of local
papers have a habit of letting self
interests go to tho limit when It
comes to a question of serving a
community. For' this they are en
titled to recognition, which they
rarely receive.
No doubt the retailers have en
couraged them as far as sentiment
goes. They have undoubtedly said
they approved the editor's methods
and called him a "good boy" but in
how many eases havo they fallen
short in the real encouragement that
counts? How ofton havo they neg
lected to use his columns, thinking
that-they wero clover In It? In fail
ing to patronize him thoy have often
killed tho goose that laid tho golden
egg.
You must got behind tho local
editor and push for all you are
worth. Ho gives you two dollars
back for every dollar you Invest with'
him. Ho furnishes for you at his
own openso one of tho biggest as
sets you possess tho medium
through which to let tho people
know what you havo to sell. Within
recent years tho mail order propo
sition has been somewhat bother
Komo. Tho editors of tho country
papers havo dono moro than all other
lulluonces combined to win your busi
ness back Into normal channels and
to reconvoit tho farmer to tho logical
hollof In homo trading.
Do not lot It bo said In your com
munity that you havo let your edi
tor's work go unappreciated. Uso
his paper. Mako him prosperous
and yoursolf rich In doing It. If you
have foolish Ideas about tho non
produetlvenoss of newspaper adver
tising, throw them off nnd try It out.
One try will prove nothing, but tho
constant uso of tho nowspapor lnan
intelligent manner will produco re
sults. The best friend tho business man
In the world hns, next to his wife,
Is the local nowspapor, nnd If ho
doesn't got full value for this friend
ship It Is his fault, not the editor's.
Tho odltor of tho avorage so-called
country nowspapor has dono more to
upbuild his own town and tho retall-
the work done during the past year,
showing the great amount of good
that can be done for a community by
an active commercial organization.
The officers for the ensuing year are
as follows: W. P. Evans, president;
A. G. Raab, vice-president; M G.
Cleaver, secretary; A. W. Myers,
financial secretary; and Elmer Rus
sell, treasurer. The directors are
A. W. Myers, A. G. Raab, L. J. Simp
son, E. F. Russell, F. A. Brighton, J.
A. Ward, W. P. Evans, all of whom
hold for one year.

CO-EDS MUSTN'T SHOW HOSE.
Sock Fights Abolished by Faculty
of I'ni'Mui College.
FAIRFIELD, la., Oct.f10. The
suggestion that the annual sock fight
will be abolished by the faculty of
Parson College has been received
with much alarm by the students.
In place of the class scrap, as In
other schools, It has been the cus
tom of the two lower classes here
to endeavor to remove the socks
from the members of the other. The
class which succeeds in removing the
most socks Is declared the winner.
On some occasions the girls have
joined In the contest much to tho
mortification of the faculty. The
members of the faculty declare that
such conduct and tho accompanying
display on the part of the co-eds is '
at least undignified.
Failures are the rounds of the lad
der leaching to success.
