containing the bullion is placed on the
floor of the coach. and the whole is Civ
en- in charge Of six messengers, who are
the brsvest and most daring men 10 DO
found in the West. Four OF these meJ,
armed with carbines, which are never
out Of their hands, and with a whole
arsenal of navy revolvers within reach,
SIT in the coach and keep guard over
the treasure, while the fifth rides in
front and the sixth behind the coach on
horseback. No coach with a full com.
plement of messengers has ever been
attacked, but about a year ago, when
only about SIS 600 was being sent out in
charge Of three messengers, the road
agents secured the stock keeper at one
of the stations. and, firing into the
stage as il came up, killed two of the
messengers and wounded the othe :.
The wounded man shot one OF the roo
hers so that he died very soon after. but
the road agents got away with the bul-
lion. An alarm was given a. soon as
possible, and the thieves were pursued
and one or two of them caught. All
but about S6,CS1 of the bullion was re-
covered. A hundred men would fare
hard IL they were TO attack the treasure
coach with its present outfit, and /
doubt If they could capture IL.
