 The South hound stage that left here last night at nine o'clock was robbed by two men at point seven miles be- low Phoenix and about three miles from two former robberies of May 5 and Juno 20. Besides the driver, Wm. Blankenship, who was acting as messenger, and one passenger, Wm. s. Head of Verde, were on board. The robbery took place on the op pain, the highwaymen being con cealed by fallen tree that lay par allel with the road.
