Denver Awe 14.-A special to the
Republican from Poi-atello says: Word
is received from Montpelier that about
3 o'clock yesterday afcernooo three
masked men rode into ton on horse
back and stopped in front of the bank
of Montpelier. They ditmiounred and
compelled six men who were standing
in front of the bank to go inside. Two
of the desperadoes then covered the
men with revolvers, while a third went
behind the counter and emptied the
cah all in sight into three sacks. The
robbers then mounted their horses and
rode out of town. Sheriil Divis or
ganized a posse of men who are in pur
suit of trie robbers, 30 minutes behind.
It i thought they are headed for Jack
son's Hole, and if they are their cap
ture will be uncertain as the Hole is
known to be filled with a desperate
pang who will resist their capture.
The bank officials refuse to discloi-e
the amount secured, but it is believed
to be close to $10,000.

San Francisco, Aug. 14. Dr. C. A.
Smith, is more Huthusiastic than ever
over his flying machine since he re
ceived a telegram Wednesday from
Wanhinton informing him that a pat
ent had been granted on his device for
sailing through the air. A company
was incorporated in this city last Sat
urday to build Smith's airship, navi
gating air vessels and 'carrying on a
general business in them. I. J. Tru
man, president of the Columbian bank
and George T. GardeD are among the
stockholders. The attorney for the
company is M. M. Estee.
These well-known men declare that
Smith's machine appears feasible as a
mechanical proposition, and that it is
really a most ingenious solution of the
difficult problem that have faced the
scientific aeronaut. Smith himself
claims it will lift itself and additional
weightjjind more fajf bst, fee can so
controlltg flight ad to practically imi
tate a bird on the wing. This means
that the airship can be lifted from the
earth and depressed at the will of the
engineer, who may also steer his ves?
sel hither and thither, describe circles
regardless of the wind, and perform
evolutions like a ship at sea.

BP1NOCSLY LOW JTIGURES.
Orarsapply Causes a Slump In Frloes of
Fraita.
New York, Aug. 17. Auction sales
of California fruit were unusually
heavy last week and prices realized
ruinously low! There were 81 carloads
disposed of against only 65 carloads in
the corresponding week of last year.
Sales were the largest wbioh have been
made In any single week since the fruit
auction system was adopted nine years
ago. '. Thus far this season there have
been 450 carloads sold, against 423 car
loads up to the corresponding date of
last year. '
Low prices were attributed partly 10
over-supply, due largely to intense hot
weather, which ripened the fruit so
rapidly that it soon became compara
tively worthless. Many carloads of as
fine fruit as was ever offered were sold
for less than the amount of freight and
commission leaving the losses to be
met by the shippers on the Pacific
lope. -

Peculiar Poison Contracted bj a Cattle
Inspector. '
Vincennes, Ind., Aug. 17 Last
week Michael Caney inspected a herd
of Texas ponies, from which he con-
tractcd anthrax, or malignant pustules
and 10 hours later was at the point of
death. The doctors burnt out the af
flicted part with carbolic acid as the
only means or saving his life. An an
thrax mi ;robe had been carried from
one of the ponies to a slightly abraded
cheek, whereby he was in oceu luted
with the disease.
Anthrax is a cattle disease, but can
be contracted by other animals by in
oculation only. Cauey's recovery is
doubtful. The disease is very rare,
only one other case ever having been
known here, and that was 25 years ago,
and the patient was dead in -21 hours.

Downing, aged 24 years, a well-to-do
farmer, living li miles south of Beaver-
ton, on the Progress road, was found
with a bullet through his head, about
1:10 P. M. yesterday. The shooting
took place in the kitchen of the family
residence, shortly after tbe noonday
meal. Mrs. Downings and a younger
son were returning from Portland,
having left for the city early in the
morninp, the two older boys, "James
and William, and a sister being left at
home. After dinner, William sat
down at the sitting-room table and did
some writing, while the sister and
James were on the' front porch. At
the report of the gun, James was hor
rified to find his brother stretched out
on the floor, the blood streaming, from
his bead and, as he supposed, rapidly
dying.

dict that the deceased came to hla
death from a gunshot wound, inflicted
by his own hands, wheatber accident

dentally killed about 21 years ago, be

Alaska this afternoon with 184 passen

ers, who arrived from the north by the
steamer Queen today, report that the
majority of those now at Cook's inlet
are unable to get home for want of

they are anxious to have the govern
ment send the cutter Plata to their
relief. At present they are at tbe
mercy of forest fires, mosqultos and
starvation. ' .

The Council Said "Wol"
There was a special meeting of the
oommon council this forenoon for the
purpose of taking action with reference
to a cement walk W. A. Johnston is
laying" in front of bis store building
Tbe walk in front of his building is
considerably lower than the floor and
he caused a rise, resembling the hump
on a camels back, to be constructed In
front of the door. This the authorities
determined was not a regulation walk .
and they ordained that the bump
must be removed. Since their will Is
law, Mr, Johnston oould do nothing
else than remove tbe objectionable
protrusion from the walk and oause It
to be built on an even grade with the
rest of the walk. . -
Special Bate.
As there will be numerous requests
for reduced rates on account of polit
ical meetings during the oomlng con
test it has .been decided that in order
to treat ail parties alike, a one fare
rate will be made by the O.' R. & N.
Company for various meetings of this
character. This of course, is Intended
only for occasions where there is suffi
cient number to justify a reduction In
rates.- This is done so that there will
be no partiality in favor of any one
party. E. E. Lytle,
