ANOTHER Bold HIGHWAY RoBBERY-
TIE CARSON AND RENO STAGE STOPPED
AND TIE PASSENGERS RoBBED.-About
10 o'clock last evening the regular
stage running between Carson and
Reno via Washoe and Steamboat val
leys was stopped by four highwaymen
at Temelec Flat, some three or four
miles from Washoe City. They first
called for Wells. Fargo & Co.'S treas
IRE box, which they smashed open, but
happened to find nothing worth taking.
Then they made the passengers get out
and proceeded to rob them n after
the other, taking what money and
valuables they could fiEd. Lieutenant
Governor Slingerland happened to be
one Of the victims, and had to yield
tribute in the sum Of 5000 to those
unruly subjects Of "road agents" who
are no r~cspecters Of persons when coin
is sought by them. They were going to
keep his watch, but owing to its being
peculiarly marked. and having Ma
sonic emblems attached, they complied
with his request and gave it back to
him. An old mar going below for his
health was robbed Of 1850, and from
another they took $500. This, he said,
was all he had, besides a check for
$500 more, which they did not care to
bother with. He asked then, for
enough to pay his passage to San FRAN
cisco, but they refused, saying he could
get what money he wanted OH that
check when he got to Reno. How
much the scamps got from all the pas
sengers we did not ascertain, but they
"went through" them rs expedi-
tiously as possible and let them pass
OH to Reno. Slingerland will be de-
lighted to welcome those road agents
to the State Prison ut an early date.
He ielt aggravated to find them stray
ing 80 far away from home and his
fatherly care.
ANOTHER MYSTERY SoLvED.-Chem-
lists being unable to discover the ingre-
dients in fragrant Sozodont, which re-
moves all stains from the teeth and
imparts such a peculiar rosiness to the
gums. the public are hereby informed
that it is a preparation from the bark
Of the QuiHdyd Saponoria or Soap Tree
of Chilli, imported for the first time
into this country for this special pur-
pose. Such is the purifying and in

agent, that it removes d~iscolorations
from the most fragrant textile fabrics,
without injuring a single thread.
