Gets Two Revolvers From Men
And Escapes Without
Leaving Clue
Roseburg, Oregon, Oct. 8 .— A
lone masked highwayman held up
the stage from Myrtle Point within
a mile of Rooeburg last night, and
after taking about $50 in cash, some
jewelry and other valuables, made
his getaway. Just before disappear
ing from the passengers whom he
had compelled to dismount and
“ shell out” he called to the stage
driver to give his “ regards to Sheriff
Fenton.’’ No clue has, so far, b'.an
found to the bandit.
The stage robber displayed all
the chivalry of a plumed knight of
centuries ago. As the stage round
ed a sharp curve in tbe road where
he stood bidden by trees, be stepped
out in tbe roadway and ordered
the drivers to halt and dismount.
Keeping them covered he called to
the eight occupants of the stage to
come outside. They quickly com
plied although some of tbe women
almost fainted.
“ D on’t be scared ladies,” said the
bandit, “ I won’ t molest you.” And
he didn’t. He ordered them to step
away a little to one side and did not
ask them to turn over their jewels
or money.
The men quickiy complied with
his order to “ shell out.” As M.
Plumb and Harrv McChesnev
turned over their pocketbooks and
change, the bandit noticed some
thing in their hip pockets and sharp
ly ordered them to come through
“ clean.”
As they emptied their
hip pockets his eyes twinkled at the
sight of two loaded revolvers.
That tbe bandit did not make a
greater haul was partly due to his
chivalry in the treatment of the
women and also to the thoughtful
ness of John Hastings of Bridge.
Hastings heard the robber's com
mand to the drivers to “ stop” and
he at once realized the situation.
Grabbing his pocketbook contain
ing about $800 in cash, be dropped
it to tbe bottom of the stage and

A Series of accidents
A sories of accidents befell R. D.
Hume’s two gasoline boats as they
were coming up tbe coast from Port
Orford to this port Wednesday af
ternoon that almost caused tbe
wreck of the Enterprise, Captain,
Johnson, the boat Mr. Hume bought
to replace the Berwick which was
wrecked on the Siuslatv bar last
winter.
Tbe Enterprise had in tow the
new boat Ospray, whioh is much
larger than the Enterprise, and
which was recently launched from
the ways on the Coquille river, [and
was proceeding up the coast on a
perfectly smooth sea.
Both boats
carried light cargoes.
When almost to Cape Arago the
engines of the Enterprise suddenly
refused, to work and the Ospray’s
engines were started and two lines
passed to the Enterprise prepara
tory to crossing tbe bar.
When
past the black buoy the lines parted
allowing the Enterprise with her
captain and crew of 8 men to drift
directly toward the big rock, upon
which the swells threatened every
moment to smash the little boat.
The lookout at the life saving
station saw tbe predicament of the
boat and crew and hastened to her
rescue.
They made the trip in a
remarkably short time and succeed
ed in getting a line from the Ospray
to the drifting boat before it* hit
tbo rock.
The Ospray had stood by, but on
account of the swells could not get
a line to the helpless boat.
Some of the cargo w&s washed
over. The Ospray towed the dis
abled boat to the city dock where
her engines are being given atten
tion. It will be remembered by
those who have followed the gaso
line boat building of Coos county
that the engines of the Enterprise
refused to work for six months af
ter they were installed and three
gas engine experts grew discour
aged trying to make them go.
Tbe members of the crew are con
gratulating themselves on their nar
row escape and praise the life sav
ing station for their prompt and
able assistance— Ceos Bay Harcor.
A Healthy Family
Torn Stamps W ill Not Go.
Eugene Items.
A new order in the pogtoffice de
partment went into effect recently.
By its terms defaced stamps here
after are worthless. Should a cor
ner be torn off, no matter how small
or the stamp be mutilated in any
way it cannot longer be used. All
letters bearing such stamps will be
held at the postoffice two weeks for
roaovery, and at the end o f that
time, if not claimed, will be sent to
tho dead letter office.
Another phase of the order is also
interesting. Pe. uuesion is now given
individuals to perforate the stamp
with a reasonably small instrument
for identification purposes. Such a
step is intended to prevent the send
ing of anonymous letters, or the
theft or mutilation of private mail
of any nature.

The Godfrey family of whom we
made mention the last week or so
are on their way down the coast,
having concluded to winter in Cal
ifornia.
We give the following
mention of them from the Port Or
ford Tribune made while they were
at that place: The Godfrey family
gave one of their high class per
formances in Nielsen’s hall last
night. They excel in acrobatic
feats, and the two little girls are the
source of much wonder among the
younger folks. The troupe are on
their way down the coast and de
serve the peoples’ patronage, as
they are not grafters, and present
one of the cleanest and most enter
taining programs of any show that
has ever passed along the coast.
They give another performance to
night, with an entire change of pro
gram, and although tbe patronage
was liberal last night a larger at
tendance is expected this evening.
It can well be said of tbe Godfrey
family that they are all stars.
