Stage Robbery.

Stage Robbery.
We last night received by Telegraph
from San Francisco the following story
of thrilling interest:
SIN the summer of 1868 the stage
coach running from East Boise City,
Idaho, to Corinne, Utah, was stopped
by five stage robbers and the treasure
intrusted to Wells, Fargo & Co. to the
amount of sixty-four thousand dol
lars stolen. The foot-pads divided the
gold dust and coin, buried the bullion,
amounting to about $4,000, near the
scene Of the robbery, and then fled in
different directions. One OF the rob-
bers, with the design OF cheating his
fellows, returned to the plant, I'M
earthed and buried it about fonr miles
distant and proceeded about hi. husi.
ness. A few Qys after he was cap
tured by the authorities and with two
others of the gang, who were suisse
quently arrested, sent to the Nevada
State Prison, at Carson, for eight years.
He who t~ransplanted the treasure died
i'm prison, first telling his comrades and
one of the guards, who had befriended
him. the location of the treasure. Tho
guard tried t o find it, failed. and turned
the case over to Wells, Fargo IL Co.
They employed S. Robertson, OF Oak
land, to work up the case. Robertson
found where the treasure had been
concealed, but it had been removed,
probably by the other robbers, who
had in the mean time been released
from the penitentiary. Investigations
convinced the detective that a portion
of the bullion, amounting to about
Sl3, 900 or Sis 900, had been disposed of
in various places around Virginia City,
and it was finally traced to the Carson
Mint, where it was run into cOin. The
robbers, alarmed at the close watch
kept upOn their movements, separated
and disappeared. In May last, three
of the robbers met at Panamint. One
of the party said that if he were in
San Francisco he could easily obtain
means to take him to the spot where
the plant was and raise it, suggesting
at the same time that they had been
away SO long from that section of
country that the authorities had given
up all hope of either finding the bull
lion or obtaining evidence upon which
to rearrest them. They came here,
and after some little difficulty
