BLACK BART.-The following is from the
San Francisco Bulletin of November ODD
Enterprising photographers are making
some money by retailing photographs of
Black Bart, the highwayman, who was
arrested, convicted and sentenced to the
State Prison last week. Detective Hume,
of Wells, Fargo & Co., this morning told a
! Bulletin reporter how he sbtained the de-
scription of the active robber who so skill
| fully eluded capture for such long period
of time. This description was a perfect
one. 1t was published on a number of
| circulars for the first time on October 5,
! 1873, and it was found last week that it
was as perfect pen picture as possible to
be made. 1t was two days before the date
mentioned that the stage from Covelo TO
! Ukiah, Mendocino county, was stopped
and robbed by one man. The day follow
! ing Hume was on the spot and looking
about the country. On an out of the way
trail in the mountains, between Eel river
4 and Lower Lake, he came on lonely
ranch, where lived Mrs. McCreary and
family. Hume inquired for his man, and
was told that a gentleman tourist had
| passed that way about an hour before.
| One of the daughters had seen him and
waited on him at his lunch. She was posi-
tive that he was not a highwayman, and
unwillingly gave Hume the graphic de-
scription alluded to. Hume followed close
after B. Is. then but without success.
Miss MoCreary, now Mrs. George VanD, is
now in the city, and was yesterday pre-
sented, presumably from the express COM
pany. with valuable silk dress and few
other articles.
