HAD HiS NERVE AND PiSTOLS The “Lone Highwayman” Tackles a _ Man Who Shoots. Ashland, Wis., Aug. 25.—“Black Bart's” most famous deeds in the mountain passes of California and Colorado were outdone to-day by the “lone highwayman” who held up and robbed the. stage that runs be- tween Gogebic and Bessemer on the Milwaukee, Lake Shoreand Western road just over the line in Michigar, near the Gogebic lake summer re- sort, where people of leisure go to spend the dog days. As the the stage was running along at a lively rate through s dense forest, and when within two miles of the station the lone highwayman jumped out in front of it and pointing two big “navies” at the driver and command- ed him, in good old western style, to throw up his hands. He extend- ed the same order to the four passengers that were inside the coach with the further command that they “schell out” all their loose valuables and currency. One of the passengers went down in his pocket, but instead of bringing up his pock- bookghe clinched a pistol in his hand and commenced fireing at the rob- ber. Instead of being overcome by the suddenness of his intended viec- tim’s move the highwayman return- ed the fire. The driver whipped his horses into a run but the aim of the highwayman was true. D. Mach- echor, of the First national bank of Monneapolis, was shot through the cheek and another passenger named A. G. Fleschbein, of Bellville, Ill., was mortally wounded. He raised up in his seat as the horses were whipped away, just in time to re- ceivea bullet in the hip. He fell forward and pitched out the side of the coach to the roadway. The stage horses continued to run and the wounded man was left to take his chances with the robber. The villian at first threatened to kill Flechbein, but finally desisted after securing $37 and a watch and chain. Flechbein iay bleeding on the road for three hours before anyone had He was tahen to the hospital at Besse mer, but loss of blood was so great that the physicians say that he ean not live through the night. Mache- chor was taken to Eagle river and treated from there to his home in Minneapolis. There are great doubts of his recovery. The two other pas- sengers was not molested. They were William Padden, of Chicago and Robert Rinlount, of the Band of Montreal Chicago. The party were outona fishing trip. Their description of the robber tallies ex- actly with that of the daring free- booter who went through a North- western train near Ellis Junction re- cently. The sheriff of Bessemer is determined to arrest the robber and has orSanized a poose of a dozen de- <ermined men who are now in hot pursuit. the ceurage to go to his succor. STOP AND READ J. R.

In Gulch were a number of saw- mills, the most extensive being that of Sturrock & Brown. These were quickly wiped out, as well as the homes of several members. Ten men started to fell the timher in the hope of arresting the fire, but were g0cn surrounded by flames and barely escaped with their lives, all of them having their hair singed and their clothing burned so that it fell off of them. At six o'clock last night the wind shifted and carried the flames eastward straight toward Chinatown.

Aug. 26.—Several months agoC harles Fish, a clerk in San Francisco store, while attempt- ing to board a ferry boat,made a mis- step and fell over some ropes into the arms of Mary Rathburn, daugh- ter of a retired merchant. A few nights afterwards the pair met at a party and an attachment sprang up. Finding that the girl’s parents were opposed to a match, the couple afew weeks later eloped and were married at Sacramento. The young man having only $33 told his wife that if they could only manage to reach New York all would be weil, as he had wealthy relatives there. She attired herself in men’s clothing. The pair beat their way by riding on freight trains and the irucks of passenger coaches. After having been put off half a dozen trains the couple reached Den- yer Saturday morning. The Union Pacific road ran a Grand Army ex- cursion out Saturday night, and by strategy the couple managed to go on the train as porters. It is proba- ble that the pair will get through to Chicago, reaching New York next month. The girls is extremely pretty and scarcely 19, while her Steed is three years her senior. | EX-CONFEDERATES IN REUNION. | i A Big Gathering at Higginsville—Col. | Crisp’s lack of Policy. Higginsville, Mo., Aug. 28.—The Ex-Confederates association of Mis- souri began its seventh annual ses- sion here today. 2,000 veterans of the war were present, including 300 Grand Armymen. In the crowd were 300 ex-confederates from Kan- sas City. Among the speakers pres- ent were Senator Vest, General Jo Shelby and Colonel Crisp. At noon a big barbecue was serv- ed by the people of Higginsville. The business sessions were held to-day. In his speech Col. Crisp, in very grandiloquent language, talked about nothing in general, himself in particular. Interruptions were nu- merous, but Crisp shouted or pro-|- tested until he commenced a eulogy on Abraham Lincoln right in the middle of an appeal for funds for in- digent ex-Confederates. “When I go to heaven,” said he, “If I do not find Abraham Lincoln I shall begin inquiring if there is not some other department.” A spectator who had drank a lit- tle too much whisky shouted: “What's the matter with Jeff Da- vis?” : “Iam no Jeff Davis man.” (Sensa- tion and groans.) A member of the committee whose identity could not be ascertained in the c nfusion said: “Then you ought to be.” “You don’t know anything about it. Youdon’t read history.” (Re- . : : : i newel uproar, in the midst of which | Kuelhi’s band, which had been sit- ting on the platform, played a selec- tion 2nd m»rehed off.) My.

Crisp could hardly make himself heard when he tried to resume, the erowd siding with Shelby — Finally Crisp said that Shelby was a fighter aud nota reader, and that be was not posted in events which took place while he was in the field. To this Shelby retorted with em- | phasis that if Crisp would read a lit- tle more he would speedily change mind.

T., Aug. 22.—At yes- terday morning's session of the ter- ritorial convention the proposed | memorial to congress was read and | ordered to be laid over until to-day. At the afternoon session the organic |act was discussed at length, after | which the question of woman suf | frage occupied the attention of the convention. Spirited speeches were made againt it and Mayor Stockslag- er of East Guthrie declared that in the election held in this city ninety- five per cent of the demi-monde had voted while five per cent of the re- spectable people had exercised their privilege. Discussion of the woman suffrage question was resumed at the evening session. This matter seem- ed to be uppermost in the minds of many of the delegates and at present it looks as if it would be the means of breaking up the convention. Alone on a Barren Rock . Portland, Ore.. Aug.21.—Mrs. George Bonar, Mrs. Frank Morgan and Miss Sallie Wieberg; all of Portland, became separated from a party that made the ascent of Mt. Hood a few days ago, and spent the greater part of the dreary night on a barren rock 10,000 feet above the sea. They frequently heard the screams and the howls of wolves. Miss Wieburg held their long alpen- stock with a sharpened iron bolt in the end, their only weapon, and seyv- eral times wolves and panthers were growling about the base of the rock, | she made ready to defend their lives. | A searching party found them about 3 o'clock in the morning and escorted them to the base of the mountain. | | A Fair Offer.

F. Childs, a deputy sheriff of Mississippi, who will start with his prisoner for that state to- night. His counsel, Joseph Whyte, contended that the warrent issued by the governor Maryland for the arrest of the fugitive was defective. Kilrain was permitted to spend this afternoon with his family, close- ly guarded by detective Childs. At 9 o'clock he was taken in charge by the detective and left by the Bal- timore and Ohio railway for Missis- sippi. There was a scene at his leave-taking with his family, some of his neighbors gathering atthe front door and expressing sympathy for Kilrain. Said that he regretted having attempted to evade arrest more than he dide the whipping Sul- | livan gave him. | The trades and labor unions of St. Louis have opened a fight on the Chineselaundries.
