had just been transferred by Luke Voor.
hees, Superintendent of the stage line to
the express agent and consisted of bricks
and bars from different mills in Lead City
and Deadwood Gulch. Robert Law,
Superintendent of the mountain division
of the Union Pacific. accompanied by l.
jeff Carr. of the Rocky Mountain Detec-
tive Association, started from here on an
engine at $3.50 P. NJ. to direct the pursuit
of the robbers, who are reported to have
gone 10 northerly direction A telegram
just received from Sidney states that all
he treasure has been recovered except
$4,000. It was found under pile of coal

every available man at the end of the
division and hopes to bring the guilty
parties to speedy justice The bullion was
taken from the truck in the express Office
which adjoins the telegraph Office. A
hole made 10 the floor of the Office must
have been made by experts as no unusual
noise was heard by the operators who
were in an adjoining room during the ab-
sence OF the express agent. The Immense
weight of the treasure, 4sO pounds avoir-
dupois, prevented the robbers from carry
ing it off and they were compelled to con
