TARY PUBLIC Athena, Oregon. A DARING ROBBERY The Joseph Bank Sacked by Three $lasked Men. TWO THOUSAND SECURED One Killed, one.Wounded, the Third Escaped. The bank of Joseph' was robbed by three men between 2:30 end 3 o'clock last Thursday afternoon. Ooe of the robbers was shot dead, another one wounded and the third escaped with the "sw,B" towards the mountains. From all accounts it was a most daring piece of work. Three men came up to the bank together, with their faces blackened as a means of diBguise. Thore were four cus tomers in the bank at the time, Ttiey were ordered under cjver of double bar relied f.hot gun to throw- up their hands, and the same injunction was given to J. D. McOully, acting cashier, One of the robbers climbed the railing and got access to the cash drawer and vault and the third stood guard at the door. The cashier was compelled to open up the re ceptacle likely to contain money,, and all the funds on band, amounting to $2000, was swept into the sack and carried away by the robbers. .... In the meantime the people on the outside discovered what was going on in side, and two men, Fred Wagner, armed with a repeating rifle, and a Mr. Donally, with a shot gun, prepared to give the bandits a warm reception as they em erged from the bank. . The four persons , in the bank were marched out ahead and as the robber who had the sack, a man named Brown, came out he was immediately Bhot do wn. The robber who guarded tbe door, a man named Tucker, also fell from a bullet Where Do You Stand? , J. N.; Williamson, in The National Blmeiallist. On February 20, 1896, in the United Stales Senate, Henry Cabot Lodge, the apostle of the gold standard, speaking on the failure ot Lord Salisbury to protect the Armenian Christian, said: , "But, Mr. President, Lord Salisbury obeys a stronger force, a mightir will than his own. In the last resort, the power which controls in Europe and ifi England, is the great power of money and the money lender. The money lenders do not care how manyj Armenians are butchered; the Armenians are not nominated in the bond; but they care very much that nothing shall be done to dis turb values; and they fear that if England moved to rescue the wretched Armenians values might be disturbed and Ottoman bonds decline." ' , -; ' " The republican party admits, as fully as its opponents have; de dared, that the experiment of the single standard of gold has been '.a disastrous failure, even though it seeks to veil its admission be hind an allegation of other causes, and the present difference be tween political parties ia this: The republican party proposes to entrust the relief of the American people to this "stronger force," this "mightier will" of money andt the money lenders which rules Euiope and England; which cares not for the butchery; of men, but demands that humanity and patriotism be laid aside; which is in "different to everything as long as nothing shall begone to distutb values, and that bonds may not decline; while the opponents of that party propose rather to risk having gold at a premium than to have that "stronger; force," that "mightier will," that "power of money and the money lender" rule America and wipe out "govern ment of the people, by the people, for the people." :..' On which side of this fight are you going to place yourself? Tlje men of '61 not only allowed gold to go to a premium higher than any threatened by the gold men of today, but, also, risked their lives in order that men of a different race should not.in a land ded icated to freedom, be slaves, and will you, for yourselves and your children, put up your handa.to be bound by thtj ehackles of money and the money lender, through fear that gold will go -to a prem- wound, bnt the third robber Cy Fitz bugb, ran and grabbed the eack and dropping his gun reached his bores and escaped. Ia the fusillade between the robbers and citizens about 25 ehots were exeba-ged. Before auempting the job the robbers had stacked some guns and ammunition outside the town n here they expected to make a stand in cape they were pursued. Fitzbugb, tho fleeing bandit, went to this place and re-armed hitneelf and struck for tbe mountains in the direction of Cornucopia. At the time of leaving he took a shot at a citizen who chanced to be coming in his direction, bnt tbe ballet did no further damage than to pasa through his clothing. A popsa started in pursuit and followed Fitzhngh last night, but no news from them have yet been received1. Tucket, the wounded robber, made a clean breast of the plan of tbe robbery. All three of the highwaymen had been in Wallowa for some time. Brown and Fitishugh had been employed at farm hands in the Prairie creek neighborhood east of Jest ph fo' several months. ' Tbe bank officials have offered a re ward of $500 for tbe capture of the rob ber. Tbeposee that went in search of Cy Fitzhogb, the robber that escaped with tbe money, bas returned to Joseph. No trace of Fitzhngh was found after be changed horses, eicept that a hunter claims to jbave seen Fitzhngh jnet before dark Thursday evening, VI miles from Joseph, and that Fitzhngh was on the trail leading to 8nake river, and evident ly intended to cross tbetiverat Brown lee's ferrv. He was alone, and carried no rifle, being armed w ith a pistol. It ia thought that it is impossible for him to escape. Charged With Cattle-Stealing;. William Hanley, of the firm of Hartley Bros., stockmen of Harney county, has been arrestod in Malhenr county, charged with stealing cattle. On the drive from Burns to Ontario, cattle on the road, as is always the case, Ml In with Mr. Han ley's band. On Willow creek, Brosna hAn, a Ft'H'kn'iitn belonging to the .Mal heur Stock AfSo itiui, found some of his caHle in Hanly'i bnd, and had them cut out. After his ( Hnley's) cat tle were corraled at Ontario, Broenahan found mure of his catMe, and Iiauiey had them cut out.. BrosDahaa still in sisted there were more of his cattle in the band, and ordered Hanley not to ship until he turned them all out, but Hanley went ahead loading the cattle on the cars, then others of the association had Hanley and all bis men arrest ed, and the cattle taken from the cars. Ten or 12 cattle belonging to the association and others were found. Mr. Hud lev 's vaqueros were dismissed, bat Hanley was held in the enm of $500 to appear before the grand jury at the next regular term of the circuit court. Bimeby Heap Sabbe. Tbe Baker City Democrat publishes an item of news which people would do well to read and to beed the last sentence es pecially: "Mr. I. E. Burch, several years ago a frequent visitor in Baker City when he was traveling route agent of the Pacific Express company, now located In Ogden, Utah, in the employ of the same com pany, ia in Baker Oity and was a caller at the Democrat .last evening. Mr. Burch is a holder of $2000 in Baker coun ty warrants, principal and interest, which he has just ascertained are among the $17,000 of advertised warrants can celled at the last term of county court. Mr, Burch is at a loss to know what to do to be reimbursed and feels bis pre dicament keenly, and which could have been averted had be been a subscriber to the Democrat. Here is a moral: Don't speculate in a -town or a county without subscribing for the leading news paper of the place of investment." - The Difference. The poet Tennyson could take a worth less sheet of paper and by writing a poem on it make it worth $05,000 that's genius. ; " '-r'.' '''! Vanderbilt can write a few words on a sheet of paper and make it worth $5,000,-000-that's capital. . x The United States can take an ounce and a quarter of gold and stamp upon it an "eagle bird" and make it worth 820 that's money. " Tne" mechanic can take material worth $5 and make it into a watch worth $100 ttfafs skill, i -The merchant can take an article worth 75 cents and sell it for $1.00 that's busi ness. -'.' '. ' ' A lady can purchase a very comfort able bonnet for $3.75, but she prefers one that costs $27 that's foolishness. The ditch digger works 10 hour a day and shovels three 6r four tons of earth for $2 that's labor The editor ht this poper ci writes cheek for $80,000,000, but it won't be worth a dime that's tough. - Worth Your Confidence.' The success of Hood's Sarsaparilia in conquering scrofula in whatever way it may mam last itself ia vouched for by thousands who were afflicted by this prevalent disease, but who now rejoice over a permanent cure by liood'a Harga parilla. Scrofula may appear as a humor, or it may attack the elands, of the neck, or break out in dreadful running sores on the body or limbs.

XJDr. Dudley, father-of E. A. Dudley, who is here on a visit from Lebanon, Linn county, was in the city Wednes day. The old gentleman, while not of free silver p.-oclivitiee, gives it as hiB opinion that Bryan will carry Linn conn ty by at least 1000 majority. He would not be surprised if the figure reached 1, 600. . M. A, Baker, A. Allen and D.'W. Mc Dannald visited this week the scene of the recent gold excitement at "The Slide" on the Walla Walla river. An A. B. B, machine was used as long as water could be had for its operation and $3.60 obtain ed from a yard and a-half of dirt. Sev eral parties have ordered machines. The whole country is staked out, some of the claims extending to the hills. Tbe dis covery is considered a wonderful one. Miss May Stevenson and sister, of Mil ton, have been attending the Formal chool. Miss May lately concluded to re linquish student life for the delights of matrimony, and last Saturday, without the knowledge of her parent, it is said, left her borne at Milton and was united in marriage with James Willis. Mr. Willis is a widowe? with several children, and ilhe May had passed nineteen bum mers when she embarked on a matri monial voyage which her friend hope will prove a pleasant ono. , When John Eeed went up recently to Prof. Van Winkle's new summer resort on the mountain, "Summit View," he ran across' the bone cf a human leg, while out hunting grouse. Not wishing to be encumbered at the time with his greweorae discovery, he placed it on a stump and proceeded on his way, return ing to town without it. The bone -had been gnawed by animals. Tbe professor and others afterwards hunted for the relic, but were unable to find it. Ernest Reynolds, the thirteen-year-old who decamped with 1 00 taken from Mies Ellice Wills' trunk, and a cayuao belonging to Frank Blair, was found at a etrawstack in the Whitman field near town. Miss Wills swore out a complaint for the commitment of the boy to the reform school, and as this bad not been bis first, offense against society he was taken to Pendleton by Sheriff Houaer for examination before the county Judge.

George was thrown from a hack and rendered on conrcious by a severe contusion on tbe head last Friday evening in front of Judgs Kirkland's residence. Tbe ac cident was caused by the neck-yoke atrap breaking. Mr. Claude Bteen and Master Ralph S:een went to Portland Saturday night, the latter to enter upon a course in the Bishop Scott Academy, one of Portland's b.-st boarding schools for boys and young men. Mr, Claude Bteen returned home Tuesday morning after seeing bis brother safely at work with bis studies. Mayor Richey, accompanied by Jas. Kirkland and P. J. Kelley, want down to the Hlide last night so as to be up with the early bird this morning to catch the golden worm in the shape of a mining claim, Excitement is growing space re garding these mines and we wouldn't be surprised to sea another Cripple Creek boom there. Commissioner Henry L. Frazier has petitioned Judge Martin to be appointed administrator for'the estate of his deceas ed father, William S. Frazier. He says the estate is of value less than $10,000, about $9,505. Judge Martin has mads the appointment and Mr, Frazier will file a bond in the required amount. The property consists of real and personal property in this city, a number of notes being included in the latter. Tbe Weston Leader man has worried over the fiaam.ial problem of late so much that the strain has well nigh turned his head It did change the head of all the articles on the.4irst page of his pspar last week and a scare free silver head was placed over county news and th bead lor unpretentious happenings of Milton and Athena wai probably perched over a let of ranting political argument over i he Mnxican monetary system. Friend rv V f .Li V iff I A Wood ain't the first man, however, who owes bis downfall to too uiuoh politics. The teat made at the Slide, of the A. B. Gold machine and the pay dirt of that region Wednesday e .-eaio was highly satisfactory to those who have taken up claims and the wildest visions of the men who have been faithfully delving there all summer in the face of the sneers and jeerB of mining wiseacres who pronounc ed their efforts thrown away, are likely to be more than realized, Milton has a gold mine at her very door that in rich ness may equal the famous camps of forty years ago in California. Mr. Allen, as related elsewhere in this issue, went down to the Slide and superintended the setting up of the machine and testing of the same in person. He was accompani ed and assisted by M. A. Baker, of Wes ton, one of the owners of the patent right covering this wonderful invention.. Ac cording to these gentleman one and a half yards of sand wa put through the machine and a cleanup made. The re sult was $3.83 in gold. .' COMING TO ' PENDLETON. The People are Coming to Hear Gov- ernor Pennoyer Speak.

ANOTHER BLUFF CALLED. A McKinley Man Failed to Put up on Oregon and California. On Thursday evening the usual street political talk was going on. and a big crowd was congregated in front of a prom inent Baker Oity business house, a favor ite place for open air political discussions, says the Democrat. There was present Hon. W. F. Butcher, who never fails to draw a crowd when he opens his lungs, especially when the silver question is the issue. The gontleman in the course of his remarks made some reference to Cal ifornia and Oregon, and asserted confi dently that Bryan would carry both the states by handsome majorities, A Mc Kinley man who heard the Col.'s bold s'atemeut, took exception to it and Bald that he would b$ t $3J0 on each state. Ooh Butcher invited the gentleman to walk to tbe bank'and put up or shut up. The McKinley man said the money bo had offered to bet belonged to a friend in Portland and , be would wire for it, He further agreed to be on hand with the money at the bank at 9 o'clock yes terday morning. The hour arrived and tbe McKinley man and his money failed to materialize. When seen later, he said that he had wired for the money but re ceived In response the advice: "Not to bet." This ia about tbe way all the Oregon and California offers to bet turn out. No sane man will bet on either of these states giving its electoral vote to Mc Kinley. They are both sure Bryan win ners.
