San Francisco, Dec. (SpeciaD.- News came this
morning from Ingrams, in the heart of the Russian
River redwood forests, that stage from Men,
docino City was stopped near Ingrams at about
dark last evening by lone highwaymsn, who IS
supposed to be the notorious stage robber Black
Bart. who has stopped more than three dozen
stages in California. Everything about the rob-
berry indicated Barts methods. The trunk OF
a tree was rolled across the road, and masked
man with rife in his hand stood behind 1t
and ordered the driver TO throw down the ex-
press box and mailbag. John Altman, the owner
of the stage line was in the box with the driver.
Then the robber forced the driver to remove the
log. and the stage went on.
The express box WINS light, but the mail wa.
valuable. one registered lettcr containing $500.
Detective Hume, of Wells, Fargo q Co.,, says
this highwayman is Black Bart without DOUBT
What makes the detective more positive OF this
is thai the place selected is the Identical spot
whre Bart robbed a stage over ten years ago, and
where he left the first of his series OF poeucai
epiStles.
