three highwaymen, who took $50 in

at first stated, also $4,000 from Wells,
Fargo g. Co. 8 treasure boz, but we have
since learned such is not the case, as
the express company had their treasure
in small iron safe instead of the usual
wooden box, which the robbers did not |
succeed in opening. Doc. Bell, Nose |
Watkins, and bootblack from Eureka |
named Johnny Williams, have been ar
rested on the charge of the above high |
way robbery. 1t is said that Bells pistol
had been found at the scene of the rob.
berry and that portion of the money
was found on the parties arrested. A
report is current here that the driver of
the stage which was stopped was the
party causing the arrest. as he, after be-
ing told to drive on, did so for short
distance, and then turning his horses,
started them on q full run for Cherry
Creek, and on arriving at that place gave
the alarm and description and caused
the arrest as stated.
