.REDD|NG STAGE HOLD-UP.
Now No Doubt That the High
Wayman Was Brady the
Bandit.
Not a Single CleW to the Where
abouts of the Robbers Yet
Obtained.

REDDING, CAL, July 9.-There seems
to be now no doubt that the highwayman
who stood up the Redding and Bieber
Jack Brady, the bandit.
A man by the name of Chandler, who is
travelling in the interest of the Order of
Foresters, saw Brady or, the man who an
swered to his description, about two miles
this side of the hold-up going toward Nor
ley, about two hours before the hold-up
took place. Chandler at the time thought
the man looked like Brady, but did not say
anything until he arrived in this city and
heard OF the robbery. Then he was con-
doubt the bandit was then making his
plans for the hold-up.
1t will not be definitely known here IN
til Thursday just how much money the rob-
Der secured, but roughly estimated it is in
the neighborhood of $500.
The fact that it takes the stage three
days to go to Fall City and back is the
reason for the delay in ascertaining the
amount that was in the boxes. One of the
mailsacks was found last night a few yards
from the spot where the stage was help up.
1t had been cut open and everything taken
out and scattered about, but the registered
mail was untouched. The robber was
probably frightened away before he had a
chance to open it. The registered packages
are now in the possession of the post
master at Oak Run, and are expected here
in the morning.
Sheriff Houston and posse and Marshal
Gard are out searching for the robber, but
up to now no clew has been found of him.
The passengers who were on the stage, as
| well as the driver, think it was Brady, and
the officers here generally are of the same
opinion. The report of Chinaman find
ing dead body near the scene of Brady s
shooting ground on Clear Greek is not
true.
