THE STAGE RnBBER MAIFIEi.D.-
The White Pine News Of Last Satur-

Der Of the stage between White Pine

In our last issue we stated that this

Gently attempting TO rob the Hamilton

enough evidence to convict him, adj
vised sheriff Raum to turn him loose.
Immediately upon his being released
he was again arrested on charge OF
horse stealing at Phoebe, preferred
against him by the stage company,
and on Monday last he WAS taken to
that place by Eugene Blair, Wells,
Fargo 4 Co.'S messenger between
Phoebe and Hamilton. Sheriff Raum
informs us that while Maytieid was in
Jail he had the curiosity to look
through his effects, which consisted
Of the following articles: One pair OF
blankets, rifle, piece Of flour sack
with two eve holes i'll it, supposed to
be the mask he used when he wished
to disguise himself, and two pieces OF
blanket, supposed to be used for
mut1iing his feet, so that his footprints
could not be so easily tracked. Wheth-
er he was a stage robber or not, he
possessed all the "tools" necessary
for that purpose. His general appear
ance indicated to us that he would
make better hen-roost robber than
Il highwayman.
