An attempt to rob the northern mail was made
last night 1t happened about seven miles from
town; logs were placed in the road SO as to stop
the stage. Three men made their appearance; one
distinctly seen 10 be white man, presented dou-
BILE barrel gun at the driver, calling upon him to
deliver the MALL the driver replied he would do SO,
/! he would spare his life second went to the door
OF the stage, and third took his station behind Al
this crisis the driver, with great presence of mind,
Caught the gun, and as the robber struggled to draw
the gun back, struck him over his face with his
whip; this gave him time to apply the whip to his
horses, and by going at full speed about two miles
he saved the mail. Before the driver caught the
gun the robber snapt al him, which saved his lie.
Two passengers were IN the stage at the time, but
unarmed.
From the light reflected by the lamps, the driver
was enabled to see the face OF the robber, who is
known to him. 1t is hoped he will be apprehended
and rewards offered inducements to take him.
