Portland could well afford to build,
through their chamber of commerce, a

HELD UP.
Daring; and Successful Robbery
- tween Here and Bake Oven. ,
Be-
A daring and successful robbery was
committed yesterday afternoon about
o'clock on the daily stage that runs
between this city and Bake Oven. As
the driver, Charley Adams, neared the
top of the hill on the other side of Shear-
ar 8 .Bridge, at no great distance irom
the spring on the left hand side of the
road; a masked man jumped out .of. a
clump of brush and presenting a rifle at
the driver ordered him to throw out the
mail sacks. The driver was alone and
without any weapons, and, as most men
would have done under the circumv
stances, readily complied. Just at this
moment the sound of wagon wheels were
heard lower down the hill and the rob
asked, "what is that noise?" The driver
informed the robber that it was a freight
team: when the robber responded,
Then you drive on," which he accord-
ngly did. The robber got away with
three mail sacks, one containing the
through Antelope mail, one the through
Prineville mail and the third, what
is known as the way sack. When the
driver had got a short distance further
up the hill he was met by Lem Burges,
to whom he related he circumstance of
the robbery.. Mr.) Burgess hastened
down the hill and when near the scene
of the robbery' he met the team already
referred to, which proved to be that of
Mr. H. W. Wells. The driver of the
team was asked if be had seen any sign
of the robber and answered, "No, but
he must be in the clump of brush below
for the noise of eome person in the
brush, as I passed, nearly frightened my
team into a runaway." Mr. Burgess has
tened down the hill but found no signs
of the robber and as he too was unarmed
he hastened to the bridge only to find
that they had several guns but no aniu-
nition. Mr. Fairchild, who is keeping
the bridge in the absence of Mr. Sherar
found two Indians who had rifles and
sent them up the hill to the Ecene of the
robbery. When they arrived there, of
course the robber was gone but they
found a mask, made out of a piece of
unbleached muslin, and Messrs. Phil
Brogan and John Grant arriving about
the same time found another mask and
two of the mail sacks, both rifled of their
contents except a couple of parcels of
store goods and' two or three newspapers
Mr. Fairchild is of the opinion that the
Prineville sack may have contained con
siderable money aa there were some ap
parently valuable letters in the sack ad
dressed to the Baldwin Land and Live
Stock company of Hay Creek, Crook
county. It is somewhere in the neigh
borhood .of twenty years since the news-
papers of this county had to record a
stage robbery committed within its bor
ders. About that time the mail stage
coming this way,' was held up by masked
robbers near the head of the Antelope
canyon, and robbed of the mail. Ad
Edgar was the driver and four men were
afterwards arrested and sent to states
prison, for the offense. It this last case
only one man was seen, but from the fact
that two masks were found he may have
had an accomplice. Who the robber or
robbers was or were ia at this moment
unknown. It is probable they were from
the other side the Deschutes and may
have had secret information of the ar
rival of some valuable mail matter.

Dear Sir: Renlvlnir tn vnur ronnwif fnr . t
with tbe Eauttable Life Assurance Hinnetv nf Now
state that m the early part of IBM, my age being 58 years, I took out a Ten-Payment Life Policy in
the Equitable upon their Ten-Year Tontine Plan, for tl0,000. My premiums during the period
amounted to J7,512.00. The Tontine period expired early in Junuary of the present year, and the
Company then offered me the following terms of settlement;
FIRST A paid up policy for f 10,000 00
And cash 9 751 60
bECOND A paid up policy for 54,600 00
THIRD Surrender my policy, aud receive in cash '.. 36.496 80
I was so little satisfied with the results of my investment that I chose the third, cash, proposi
tion, but when I so decided, the comoanv. thrniich Rvrl nf it nmtwunhKvM l.hnmH
me to bike one of the other forms of settlement, but rinding that I was determined to surrender the
policy and take the cash, they tinally instructed me from the home office to sand policy and receipt
for the amount, f:S6,496.80, to their State manager in Cleveland, and ha would rpmit ma thn iiruiniit
I followed their instructions and sent the nolicv
correspondent in Cleveland, only to have it returned from the Cleveland Bank with the information
inai iuk oiie manager or ine bquitaDle states thut he "had not sufficient funds to meet it." This
forced me to return it to the New York office, and compelled me to wait some twenty days after
maturity before receiving final settlement.
I have given no statement endorsing the Equitable, or expressing my satisfaction with their
settlement with me. On the other hand I have positively refused to do so. The fact that my re
turns were 1,015.20 less than my total investment renders further comment unnecessary.
During the time I carried the Equitable policy and up to the day when thev submitted the
above proposition to me, I was kept In total Ignorance of the condition of my investment.
In marked contrast with this has been my experience with the Northwestern, in which ia 1882,
I took a Ten-Year Endowment Policy, Ten-Year Tontine, for 10,000, that company having from
time to time furnished me with a memorandum of the surplus on my policy over the signature of
their actuary; so that while my policy has not yet matured, and will not until next year, I haje
the satisfaction of knowing that at maturity it will net me from fi,000 to $5,000 more than the face
of the policy calls for. Very truly yours,
