REDDINe, November 9th.-The boldest
highway robbery, or series of robberies,
ever committed by lone highwayman
was perpetrated this evening about six
o'clock, about q mile from the Postoffice
and within the town limits. As Perry Da-
Wis. driver of the Weaverville stage, was
coming into town, he was ordered by a
lone highwaymsn to stop. Perry continu-
ing to drive, the highwayman again or
dered him to stop, or he would shoot At
this Davis pulled up his team.
The highwayman said to the driver, a
drummer and another passenger: ''Get
down here! Get right down p' which they
did He ordered the driver to stand at the
head of bis team, and he put cap over his
head, also over the heads of the two passen-
gers. He then took from the drummer and
passenger $160. He then threw out the
Wells-Fargo box and mail-bags, which he
started to go through.
TAKES ANOTHER INTO CAMP.
At this time Bill Wilson drove up on his
way into Redding for doctor. The high
wayman said to him, Drive right up
here" Wilson said he was in a hurry
after doctor. Never mind" said the
highwayman, "drive up here; get right
out and put this cap on" which Wilson
did. The highwayman then took $65 and
his watch. Wilson begged for his watch.
The highwayman said that if he got good
haul out of the box he might give the
watch back.
STILL ANOTHER VICTIM.
He then started in again to go through
the boxes and mails Just then John
Craddock drove up going to Shasta. The
highwaymau said Drive right up here,
close to this team Drive up and put this
cap onp' which he did, and he took SIS
from Craddock.
About this time Craddock said the cap
was choking him. The highwayman said
Just shove it up a little and get air." He
then commenced again on the mails and
express as deliberately as if honestly en-
gagged.
ANOTHER WAYFARER ADDED.
About this time Miss Eliza Welsh,
County School Superintendent, drove up
on her way to Shasta, her home. She was
singing when he called out to her to drive
right up behind the other wagon Grad
dock's). He said if she would be quiet and
still she would not be hurt.
The five men were all standing with
dunce-caps drawn over their heads. Miss
Welsh did as directed, and being woman
of remarkable nerve she watched the op-
erations Of the highwayman, but she did
not understand why the others were so
quiet, and so many of them, punched as
they were.
When the robber got through-taking
$240, it is said, from Weils-Fargo's box and
rifiing the letters-he coolly walked off
over the hill TO the left.
After silence had reigned for some time,
Davis, the stage driver, said, from under
his cap:
HAS THAT MAN GOMEZ"
Getting no response, he said to the lady
behind-she being the only one not capped
-" Has that man gomez"
She replied =" a man went over the
hill"
At this Davis, Craddock, Wilson, the
drummer and The passenger took off their
caps. The drummer got into the buggy
with Miss Welsh, and the others into the
stage, and came into town. Several are out
on the hunt but no further news was had
at 8 P. NJ and there is very little hope of
catching so old hand at the business.
