FROM RENO.


Reno. Jan. 81.
About $50 this evening, as the
Susanyille stage was approaching
town, at a point Is miles north,
two masked men jumped from the
sagebrush and ordered the driver to
halt, az the same time covering him
with a six-shooter. The driver. Mr..
Thoms, was then requested to dis
mount. when they relieved him of
$3.50 in coin. Major Eggleston,
Paymaster L. ;. A., was then or
dered to dismount, an | compelled to
hand over some 5000 or $500 OF his
private funds. The robbers then re.
quested the Major to remove his belt
which contained some e. 900. While
they were examining the Major,
Thoms, who had a deringer, fired at
one of the robbers, undoubtedly
hitting him in the breast. as he fell
and then got mp, staggering off and
firing at the coach and passengers.
but fortunately iniuring no one. At
this time the team ran away, and as
soon as it could be stopped a party
of three went back to the place of
encounter and found the Majors
belt which contained 81 600; but the
private funds of $500 were missing.
\ large party of citizens have
started out in pursuit, and it is
thought to be impossible for the
robbers to escape.
LATER.-A party OF those in
search of the road agents have lust
returned, having captured Chas.
Beaver, the man shot by the driver.
He was found a short distance from
the place of the robbery. The ball
entered the right side, above the hip,
ranging forward. DIR. Bishop, who
has examined the wound, says there
IS no chance of his recovery, the
bullet having passed through the
liver. The other robber is named
Roberts Ia son of Chat Roberts) who
is well known and cannot possibly
escape.
