On last Thursday night. says the Pr
oche Record Of Tuesday, George Epson,
a young man who had been in Panaca
with a load of fish and was returning
to Pangwitch with the proceeds, was
stopped by two men who, on first com
ing up, told him they were looking for
u horse and wanted assistance. On get
ting out OF the wagon they covered him
with their revolvers and toll him To
hand over his purse. He gave them a
purse with \ small amount in it and
told them the bulk of his money was
in the wagon. They started % find it
and while engaged in ransacking the
wagon Ipson made a break for the tim
Der and after secreting some ninety
dollars in small gold and silver, took
of his shoes and made tracks for shell
ter. The robbers followed his tracks,
found the money and returning, set
the team adrift and disappeared. He
found his team some five miles further
on the next morning and returned tn
Panaca. No trace has yet been found
OF the thieves. Epson thinks he could
identify them. Says one was a small
man with a very dark complexion, the
other was considerably over tine W
