JACKSON, Cal June 15.-An ait mpt was
made to rob the stage on the way from
lone to Jackson, about o'clock this
evening, by a lone highwaymar. at the
foot of narrow grade about four miles
from here. the stage had four passen-
gers inside, two of whom were ladies'.
and one on the outside, Clint Radclitf
and Wells Fargo's guard, Michael To
vey, who sat on the seat by the driver.
The point selected for the crime was
the Identical spot where some five
months ago the same guard, then walk
ing ahead of the stage, found the way
barricaded by..a straGd of bsrbed wire
cut from alongside the road ana stretch
acros the roadway.
On the present occasion the rObber
was concealed behind me rocks on
the right side of the road.
He wore no mask, except that his
face was blackened. The driver SAYS no
command to halt was given, but some
of the passengers say they heard a ell.
When opposite the place of conceal
ment without the least intimation of
the bloody work about to be cOns1m
mated, the discharge ola weapon was
heard and Tovey instantly fell forward
off his seat dead.
Radciiff grasped him by one hand as
he WAS failing into the roadway. The
ball struck Tovey behind the right
shoulder and is supposed to have pierre
ed his heart.
Six horses we're attached to the stage
and the crack of the rifle frightened
them into the gallop. The robUer seeing
that he was likely to be foiied in his at
tempt to capture the booty, fred again.
This time the bali grazed RadclIff's
back. The horses still continued the
run. and the highwayman now standing
in full view in the road, fred twice
again at the horses, wounding one each
time.
The stage was swept along by the
impetus of the uninjured horses for
two or three hundred yards, when the
driver halted and turned the two in
jured animals into field and came on,
bringing the body OF the murdered
messenger to Jackson, reaching here
about o'clock.
HE DID NOT FOLLOW.
