Ely Brothers, | DEAD LOVER AT A BRIDE’S FEET Overturning of a Coffin Stopped a Marriage, Vancouver, B, C. Dispatchin the New York Journal. This story of how a dead lover forbade the bans, worthy as it is of the imagination of a Poe, comes from the wild region of mountain and lake which forms the interior of British Columbia. Maud Cranston, whose home was ; at Kootenay Lake, had to choose between two wooers. Of these R. A. Carson was rich and unromantie, while James Carter was poor, but in all respects a stripling to engagea maiden’s fancy. There were otber considerations, however, and Maud chose the rich suitor. “You shall not marry him,” said Carter to her, when he heard that the date was fixed. Floods came. The river broke from its banks. The clergyman was exiled on hia ranch. Such of the wedding guests as bad been able to reach the bride’s home, lamented with her over the disappointment And James Carter, who was just starting on alonely irip down the river, greatly changed in a few weeks, said: “Ti is an ill omen. never marry.” Perhaps it was because she heard of this gloomy prognostication that Miss Cranston decided that she and her affianced would reach the clergy- man, since he could not reach them. A day or two later they embarked, according!y, on the steamer Kokanee, which would pass the minister's place en its way to Bonner’s Ferry.

Ranchers—The Biggest Hau! on Record. | K. C. Times, 21. United States Marshal Glen Miller of Salt Lake arrived in the city yes- terday. He had spent only a few hours here, howeyer, when ke receiv- eda telegram from Utah, recalling him to that state. His services were needed im running dewn the read agents who robbed the Union Pacfic express near Wilcox Station, Wyo., June 2. These train robbers are members of the famous ‘Hole in the Wall” gang that has terrorized Wyoming for several years. The federal and state authorities of that state are now in quick pursuit of these des peradoes, and they have been forced to seek refuge in a wild region of Utah, known as the ‘Robbers’ Roost” country. Mr. Miller returned to Utah last night and will take charge of posses which will give the robbers a hot chase in that state. Hunting robbers in that section isa desperate game, and Marshal Miller thinks that some of his party will probably be killed. Not only does the topography of that mountainous region. which is the wildest and roughest in the “Roekies,” furnish shelter to turbu- lent characters of the plains, but those citizens haye acquired an ex- pertness in sharpsheoting that is at once the admiration and despair of outlaw takers Mr. Miller is a former Kansan and is well known in this city and the Sunflower state. He graduated from the Lawrence university in 1844 and for a number of years was connected with the Santa Fe Construction company. He went west seyeral years ago and is now making a repu- tation for himself as a relentless foe of the bold, bad men that infest cer- tain parts of the state. In speaking of the Wyoming holdup Mr. Miller said: IDEAL LAND FOR BANDITS. “The place where the traia rob- bers held up the Union Pacific train was at a station a few miles beyend Rock Creek, Wyo. The country in that vicinity is not a particularly wild region. It is more after the nature of the rolling prairies of Kan- sas, but both to the north and south of it there are ranges of high tmoun- tains, that are badly broken and torn up from volcanic eruptions and they make an ideal place for bandits to find refuge in.

In addition to that Governor Richards called out a portion of the state militia.

If this gang from the ‘Hole in the Wall’ country likely that it will not be dislodged for many years, as the army might not be taken unless their confeder- ates might sell them out for reward. “These robbers are all noted characters in Wyoming, their last crime before this being the robbery of the postefiice at Big Piney, in the middle western portion of Wyoming. They have a great advantage over any pursuers from the fact that many of the ranchers are their friends, or at least they are not hos- that they are afraid of them. “Sometimes ranchmen go on their bond. In this way the ranchmen save themselves from being molest- ed. In fact, no one can stay in that part of the country unless he re- mains quiet about the operations of these men and their coming and going. Most of these men are com- paratively young, being from 25 to 35 years of age.” THEY BEAT THE As compared with the western |traim robber Mr. Miller thinks the members of the notorious James gang were amateurs in the profes- |sion. These western robbers are the finest of shots and they have the advantage of the use of modern guns, andthe James gang did not carry pistols and long-range JAMESES. smokeless guns. The western men carry field glasses and can see people coming in for miles. When the pursuing party comes within range all they have to do is to get behind the recks and simply pick them off. So expert are these clip the ash of a man’s cigar.
