Fargo & CO.. iron treasure-box was broken
open with sledge-hammer and 5000 in coin
taken from it. Besides this the tox con-
tanned two large bars of gold bullion, valued
at S29, 900. but strange to say the robbers put
the bars back into the stage, after they had
taken them out, probably concluding that
they were too heavy to carry. There were
only two passengers on the stage, bat they
were not molested. Wells, Fargo & Co.'s
messenger had met the stage previous to the
robbery, and at the time was riding some dis
tance ahead on horseback Men have been
out looking for the road agents, but up to this
writing they have not been captured.
