SAN LUIS OBIsPo. CAL, Sept. 24.-The
stage running between Santa Maria and
Guadalups was stopped by two men,
night before last, and the box of Wells,
Fargo 4 Co., containing over 81 800,
was taken. The robbers took the box
away for eoncealment. In the meah-
time passenger on the stage returned
to Santa Maria and gave the alarm. 1t
appears that the robbers stole two
horses for the purpose, and after con-
cealing the box returned to Santa Maria
and left the horses out OF town. Two
men who had been missed for the time,
and on whom suspicion rested, arrived
at their old haunt and were arrested.
Their names are Rutherford and Thomp-
son. Search was made all day yesterday
for the box and it was found last evening
in hay stack. Evidence to convict the
arrested parties is said to be sufficient.
The treasure box was found to be un-
injured.
