g © ) HANDSUP. Stopped by Road-Agents-<A good- Sirzed Haul. Durango Record. One of the boldest and most daring robberies ever perpetrated in this state took place a few miles this side of Pagosa Springs on Thursday night, the passengers on Sanderson & Co.'s stage being the victims. From an in terview held with all the passengers who were on the stage at the time the road agents ot on & Co.'s stage coach, Char. es, of this city, driver, left , New Mexico, the presentter-, minus of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad, at the usual time on Thurs day, with seven passengers aboard. | At about 8 o'clock in the evening the conch had passed through the rough | gulch, about three miles this side of Pagosa Springs, and was just entering the park when four horseimen came up | the road and halted, two horsemen on each side. When the conch was nearly | opposite them, the leader called out: | “Hands up, there is a man inside we They then rode nearer to the and commanded the passengors to file out and stand in line, at the | same time covering the passengers with eight Colt's No. 45 revolvers When tho occupants of the conch were in line, the robbers complimented them on their soldierlike appearance and pro ceeded to relieve them of their mon watches and chains, and jewel They manaved to get about 1,000 in in cash, 2,300 in drafts, five watches and chains, four fingor rings, and a diamond pin. After giving up their valuables the passengers were allowed to resume their seats in the ch, and when the coach was about to start the road agents were turning to le the scone of operations, one of them suddenly made up his mind that there was a better horse attached to the stage than the one lie possessed, 8o the party returned, and the fastidious highwayman unharnessed the horse | seemed to take his fancy and re- him with a little broncho h When the passengers ar o at this place they were “‘flat broke,” and some of the commercial men remarked that if their houses wanted to do any more business in this part of the state, they could do it through the mail. Underground Telegraph Wiros. Washington has taken the lead in the matter of doing away with the un- sightly telegraph poles within the city limits, The new Mutual Telegraph company, havine been refused permis- sion by the district authorities to ercct any poles inside the city limits, have been driven per force to adopt the plan of running their wires through the city sewers. The sewers used are tl larger ones, into which men can enter Sl upright, although at points where a break in the large sewor sys- tem occurs the wires are red through small terra cotta pipes laid under ground. The manner of enter ing and carrying the wires through tl sewers 18 quite interosting. Whe the pole system ends and the unde ground one begins, a large; struight polo is planted very doep, €§ sqeure- Iy fixed with a wood foof and hraces underground to prevent the strain of wires upon it from turning it over. This pole has a groove cut in it about two inches deep and about the sane in width, from top to bottom, The ires, seven or oight in number, are all brought together in ono cablo and run down this pole to the ground where the cable enters u terra cotta pipe lud under ground across the street to the sewer, which is reached by way of a man-hole. The cable is then continued through the sewers, fastened to the crown of the arch with iron staples at convenient distancos. The wires, being insulated, reguire i other fastening, and_should any break oceur, which is not likely to be the case, the sower is_accossible at every man-hole and easily traveled. Liou- tenant Hoxie, who is in charge of the BOw system in the district, states that he thinks there can be no objec tion to the use of sew for this pur- pose, unless injuw done them in making the fastening for the wires, in which case the privilege would have | to be denied the companies, He thinks it would not interfere with the flow of water, and that the wires would be securo from many of the ¢ incident to outside exposure. The compuny has laid its lines through the | sewers without any difticulty, and to- | morrow will use them tor the fivst | time "The "Farmer's Fish," Cincinnati Commercial, During the past fow years there has been much interest taken in the culti vation of fish as an article of food, Through the labors of the national and state commissioners much light has | been thrown on the subject of their cultivation, Among other things it has been demonstrated that at very slight oxpense the favmers may have at hand constantly a supply of fresh meat food that will in some degreo take the place of animal fc Prof. Baird, U, 8. fishcommissioner, declares the carp to be of all others best adapted to the wants of farmers, and calls it *“‘the farmer's fish,” While trout and bass require not only very pure but eool water, and abundance of at, and most of the inferior varieties of lish require water at least mod cool, clear and abundant, the o in its element in water moderately warm, and requires but little of it. It profers, the professor says, o pond whose bottom and banks are com posed of mud, the mud affording it o shelter in cold wenther, and producing plants which 1t relishes as food, The carp is not a dainty feeder, Tt will eat anything that pigs and fowls velish, and will devour insects, small | reptiles and meats of all kinds of green vegetables, fruits and garbage It can be fattenod on grain as casily as pigs and turkoeys are and the youny are especially fond of sweet eurd and liver, The carp possess & number of good gualities that render it a valuable fish, tis lhumughlfr domesticated. It can be transported easier and will live ]ungu( out of water than any other scalo fish. 1t is exceedingly prolific, a large one often yielding as many as 400,000 eggs. No hatching house is needed. The eggs hatch in a few days and the young, when not disturbed, grow rapidly. The flesh of the carp is not as deli- cate as that of some other varicties of 4ish, and in summer it is hardly fit to captured it, we learn the | people of moderate means, It is possible that the future farm- ers may raisc carp as they now raise W pork for table use and for A Frontier Funeral. Broolyn Eagle “It's all very well to talk about your Brooklyn funerals,” said a Dakota W the mourners crowded up to r, “but you don’t put the life we do in man the and spirit into a plant that | our parts, and the western gentle [ man shook his head lugubriously. watched this yere racket to-day, but 1 wasn't satisfied.

The Bismarck man called for re- freshment and braced himself for the relation, “Pote had some tronble with seven or eight soldiers, and when they’d all played in their hands we laid out to lock shop andslidelimunder in shape. Pete wasn't nc namer coon. He wore meat and h arround, and as he was the first man that had turned down in the settlement, we agreed to start a bone-yard and plant him for a crop. Ther wasn't any pa’son ther in them days, but Louns berry, the postmaster, knowd a hymn, and John McLean, the mayor, was a dog-fight on & specch. 8o we_got out the engine fora hearse and built a hox for the stiff and started in. We'd staked out a claim up on the Buford roud for a grave, and Tom Fortune had drilled a hole to put Petein.
