LRSI SAN ANDREAS, March 19.—At about 5 o'clock this evening the Milton and Cop- peropolis stage was held up by a lone highwayman. As the stage was nearing the mining camp of Hodson a masked man with a double-barreled shotgun stepped out from the roadside and ordered the driver to halt. The driver and three passengers were ordered to hand over their valuables, which they did. The total value of the booty secured will not exceed $17. The | mails were untouched. This stage line does not carry Wells, Fargo & Co.’s ex- press. Sheriff Thorn was notified by wire of | the hold-up and has a description of the man. This is the second hold-up within a week in this county. BIDDING FOR THE FIGHT. Two Clubs Want the Sharkey-Fitz- simmons Event. JEW YORK, March 19.—An effort was made to-night by the persons interestei «0 agree upon a place for the coming figit between Sharkey and Fitzsimmons. Two bids were received. The Seaside Sporting Club deposited a check for $25.000, and agreed to give the principals 60 per cent of e gross receipts and 50 per cent of the Picture profits. Tom O'Rourke of the club expiained that it was his intent.on to allow the $2500 already on deposit for the Jeffries-Corbett match to continue up after that fight, on-May 11, making $5.00 in all, as required. The Westchester Athletic Club, repre- sented by Martin Julian and D. J. Cook, made a higher bid. It offered 67 per cent of the gross receipts and 67 per cent of the picture profits. It made a deposit of a 35000 check. An agreement was not reached. The parties meet again to-morrow and prob- ably will make a decision. The sentiment to-night was very favorable to the ac- ceptance of the Westchester Club offer. — SCHORR’S CHALLENGE. Will Match F. W. Brode Against Prince of Veronia for $5000.

He, there- fore, wishes oth- ers to take up his _ profession, so that he may cal' upon them to assist him in his noble work. With this in view, the Amer- can School of Magnetic Heal- ng was found- L ed. The method PROF. J. H.
