A Sold Robbery.

Last Tuesday evening about 8 o.
clock the south-bound Bidwell stage
was robbed by a lone tax-gatherer
who demanded and received Wells
Fargo's treasure box, the lock Of
which he broke by shots from his
revolver. 1t was not learned what
amount was taken, but it is thought
it must have been small.
He was dressed in a long linen
duster, with a mask over his face and
stood by the side Of tho road until
the stage came up, when no demanded
the box in most matter-of-fact NAL
nsr. He was as cool as q December
morning, and after the driver threw
off the box he told him to pass on and
not mind about looking back. From
tae way he did his work it looks as if
"Black Bart" or ono Of his pupils was
thu man. It is rumored that "Black
Burt" was soon in Warner Valley not
long since, and, if this is tho case, it
IS not ut all unlikely that it was tho
celebrated highwayman who did the
job Reno Gazette.

that William COckrill has beaten both the

Four Baltimoreans Butchered by Infuri-

BALTIMORE, Oct 1.-The first authentic
information about the riots on Nevassa
island were received last night in a letter
from DIR. Smith, acting superintendent of
the Nevassa phosphate company, who with
@. w. Roby, the mine bosE, and two Off
ciaIs are the only surviving officers of the
bloody affray. They had taken refuge on
the British man-of- war Forward, which
came to their assistance. DIR. Smith writes
that on the morning of Sept. 14th the
negroes arose in insurrection and killed
four officers-Tbomas N. Foster, Joseph
Fsbs, James Malone and William 1. Shea.
Roby was first assaulted in the diggings
and left for dead. At noon the men con-

him. He took refuge in an upper story of
the superintendents house and opened IRE
on the mob. The battle lasted for three
hours, with an occasional negro wounded,
when the Inmates were startled by the ex-
plosion OF dynamite bomb on the lower
porch. This was soon followed by an
other, until there was a continuous roar of
dynamite, when the officers attempted to
seek another shelter. Foster was butcn-
cred with knives and Jos. Fales chopped
70 pieces with an axe. WIN. Shea and
James Mason were also murdered. All
the murdered men are Bsltimoreans. The
negroes sui have possession of the island.
