hlghwaymen on the Cheyenne Route
| to the Black Hills.
TIE following account of one of the re.
cent stage r0bberies on the Cheyenne
and Black Hills route, given by one Of the
victims, is from the Omaha Republicans:
| The information given to us that we
were to be robbed one and half miles
north of the Cheyenne River was not par
ticClarly cheering. It was some comfort
to know exactly where the painted boys
of the road' would stop US. We had no
