DENVER. June 27th.-At late hour this
morning the news was received of the first
details of the Telluride Bank robbery
which occurred Monday. Confederates of
the robbers had cut the telegraph wires be-
tween Telluride and Dallas, making COM
munication impossible and accounting for
the late receipt of the facts regarding a
most daring holdup. A NelrS' special
says: The men who committed the rob-
berry are supposed to belong to the Stock
ton ranch, on the Mancos river, in Dolores
county, and are members of gang that
has always been considered tough. They
came to Telluride two or three days prio-
to the robbery, put their horses in the
Searles Stable and proceeded to take in the
town, drinking and spending money freely.
In this way they secured the information
they desired and acted accordingly. The
bank employs one clerk as assistant to the
Cashier. During the morning the robbers
took their horses from the stable, paid their
bills and then visited two or three saloons.
watching the bank in the meantime.
Soon Cashier Painter stepped our to do
some coll Getting and the four robbers 70 ie
over to the bank and left their horses in
charge of one of their number, two remain
ing on the sidewalk and the fourth enter
ing the bank, where he presented check
to the clerk. As the latter was bending
over the desk examining the check, this
party grabbed him around the neck, pull
ing his face down on the desk and at the
same time admonishing the surprised Off
clal TO keep quiet on pain of instant death.
He then called to his partners on the side
walk, saying: Come on boys; it is all
rig ht." The boys came in and cleaned nm
all the available cash. amounting to 500
$50, while their comrade held the tremb-
ling clerk over the desk by the neck.
When their work was complete, the
clerk was released and fell in a heap on
the floor. Quietly surveying the quaking
mass of humanity the robber said he had a
notion to shoot him anyway for being such
a coward, and then joined his comrades,
when they mounted their horses and rode
leisurely away.
When they had ridden couple of blocks
they spurred their horses into gallOp, gave
yell, discharged their revolvers and
dashed away.
1t was fifteen minutes after this demon
stratlon, OF which little notice was taken,
that Mr.. Painter, on returning to his bank
found his clerk too agitated to give cor
rect account of the affair. His greeting to
the cashier was " It's all gone, all gone :"
and such proved to be the case.
AS soon as possible posse was organ
lied and is now in hot pursuit. The rob-
bers were seen at Trout lake yesterday, and
news of their capture or desperate fight
with the Sheritts men is expected. They
are evidently heading for the wild country
in the Blue mountains OF southeastern
Utah.
The Stockton gang have been in many
border troubles, and have on numerous
occasions painted various San Juan towns
red" One of their number was lynched
in Silverton few years since and another
was killed by the Sheriff of La Plata
county while fleeing from justice
