A number of sportsmen responded to the invitation of Mr. F. J. Schmidt, and met near his residence on last Saturday afternoon for a couple of hour's hunt. Forty-seven rabbits were slain. These pests are rapidly disappearing, in consequence of the relentless war being made upon them.

They took 25 cents from me, all the money I had in my pockets. They then took me to a vineyard owned by Mr. Kroeger, south of Mr. Rimpau's and tied me. There were three more men there, all masked, and all had horses. I did not recognize any of them. The only one who spoke to me A bold but futile attempt at bank robbery was made on Friday night when Mr. A. W. Steinhart, cashier of the banking house of P. Davis & Bro., was the victim, and to a reporter of the Gazette he told the following story: A little after 8 o'clock on Friday night I was on my way home and when near the corner of Lemon and Third streets I was stopped by three men who approached me with drawn knives. They took 25 cents from me, all the money I had in my pockets. They then took me to a vineyard owned by Mr. Kroeger, south of Mr. Rimpau's and tied me. There were three more men there, all masked, and all had horses. I did not recognize any of them. The only one who spoke to me used good English. He said they wanted me to go to the bank and open the vault. They threatened me with knives and revolvers. I told them I could not open the vault as I did not have the combination. They kept me there until 2 o'clock Saturday morning, when they finally let me go. I went home and went to bed, and when I went to the store in the morning and told the Messrs. Davis about it. They gave me back my keys but my watch is gone, whether it was lost or taken by them I do not know. Before releasing me, the spokesman told me that there were fourteen of them concerned in the affair." On Wednesday evening a little after 8 o'clock, six masked men, all armed entered the store of Mr. R. L. Crowder at Orange. The occupants of the store at the time were Messrs. Growder, Clark, Cleighton, and Mosbaugh. The robbers presented their pistols at the heads of the astonished occupants and commanded them to throw up their hands. They were then securely tied with ropes and ordered to lie upon the floor where sacks were thrown over their heads, at the moment Messrs. H. F. Gardiner and Rusk entered the store and were immediately ordered to throw up their hands. Mr. Gardiner made some resistance and one of the bandits snapped a pistol in his face while another struck him over the head with the butt of a six shooter inflicting an ugly but not dangerous wound. Mrs. Crowder came in to see what was the trouble. She was not bound but was ordered to sit still in a chair and make no noise if she did not wish to be shot. The robbers then ransacked the store. Several sacks were filled with clothing, handkerchiefs, sardines, crackers, cutlery, etc. Six pairs of blankets were taken and one of the robbers selected a new hat. At this point Messrs. Julian Hunt and Frank W. Gibbs entered the store. They were immediately bound and floored with the others. After spending three quarters of an hour in the store the robbers departed giving Mrs. Crowder instructions not to release the prisoners for fifteen minutes. They rode off in the direction of Santiago. No description of the robbers which will offer a clue for their capture can be obtained.
