Yesterday afternoon q young, intelH-
gent and handsome lady presented her
self to Lieutenant McAdams, Of the Pro-
vost Marshal Generals Office, and solicit
ed assistance to enable her 70 reach
her home near Waukeegan, Illinois.
She gave her name as Mrs Judd, Biis
Of q soldier of the 37th Illinois, station
ed near Springfield, Missouri. She start
ed in the stage from Rolla eight or ten
days ago 70 visit her husband, and was
robbed Of all her clothing by . bsnd Of
robbers.
In the stage were Mrs. Judd, Mics
Joabs, Of Springfield, Missouri Miss
Turner, from ROlla; Mrs. Plummsr;
Mr.. Rusch, and j. II. Caynor, tobaecon-
lists, Of Springfield. A mounted guard
Of five men accompanied the stage. Last
Friday week, when about . mile beyond
the "CalifOrnia House." il the Big Hol-
low, Pulaski county, the guard was at
tackled by thirty bandits, and one Of
them, q young man named Williams,
from Cedar county, was killed, being
shot no less than fifteen times. The
guard stood their ground until two rounds
had been fred ct them, bat being over
powered, they had to give way.
The robbers then turned their atten-
ton to the stage and its passengers
taking the horses and harness, plunder-
ing the baggage, and taking $500 from
Mr.. CaynOr. Mr.. Rusch, who was on the
box by the driver, had thrown away his
revolver On seeing the robbers approscb,
but they made him 60 and tnd Il, ana
struck him with . sabre. They took
Rusch out to kill him, when Mrs. Judd
interceded in his bshalf, telling the
captain Of the band that il was unfair 20
kill an unarmed man; that to take bis
life would be as disgrscsful as 70 kill
woman; because the man had no more
courage than . Womao, and il was not
his fauls that be was q coward. This
appeal had its effect upon the robbsFs,
and Mr. Rusch was spared. The bsg
gage of ths ladies' was carried Of, and
they were left on foot 10 find their way
- the nearest camp.
Mrs Judd says the robbers we're all
dressed in Federal uniform and she
thinks they belong &, tbs Missouri State
