C~ALIsToGA, Cal, May 0. - Two

to the summer resorts of Lake county,

The robbers secured about 81, 300 from

much 1hey got from g. is not known.
The hoIdup was between Cahstoga and
Clear Lake. The stage left Calistoga
at noon, and reached a point Il and
one-half miles from Mirabel, when two
masked men stepped from the bushes
lining the road and ordered the driver
to halt. Keeping their pistols pointed
at his head, they made him throw
down the express box. While IA of
the highwaymen kept the driver and
the passengers covered, the other broke
open the box but found no money. The
passengers were stood up, and while
one of the robbers kept them steady
with his weapon, the other searched
their pockets.
These highwaymen went about their
work like old hands at the business,
one in particular being as cool about 1t
as if he was collecting taxes. A hun
dred dollars reward has been offered
for the capture of the robbers.

BROWN GORDON SENSATION.
Now Claimed There Wa a Plot to Assas-

LOUISVILLE, May 9.-The Courier
Journal prints the following:
The sensation attending the Gordon
double killing is not over yet by half.
The prosecution will attempt to prove
that Arch Dixon Browns death was
due to a deep laid plot to assassinate
him; IA trap, as the prosecution beleyes,
fostered and planned by II who, for
reasons best known TO himself, was
afraid to do the work, and used Gordon
as the tool to carry out his designs.
These statements come directly from
the prosecution.
Governor Brown has reason TO be-
lieve that his sons coming to Louisville
Oh the day of the tragedy and his
designation with Mrs. Gordon was
known to a man in Frankfort, who tel
egraphed to a man i'll Louisville. This
Louisville man, the prosecution claims,
notified Gordon that his wife was to
meet Brown, and actively assisted in
a foul assassination"
The prosecution further says that the
lame of the man who "acted the spy"
is known to them, and that he will
have TO be produced in court.
