HELD UP THE COACHES
BOLD DAYLIGHT ROBBERY IN VEL
LOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK.
Troops Have Closed All Outlets and
the Apprehension of the Rob-
bers Is Certain.

Yellowstone Lake, Wyo., Aug. l6.-
Two masked highNaymen held up and
robbed a number of Yellowstone Ma
tional Park Transportation coaches III
the park, relieving the tourists of about
$500. Up to 6 o'clock Saturday evening
the fugitives had not been apprehended.
The coaches were robbed while en- route
from the Canyon hotel to Norris Gevser
basin. and had covered about five miles
of their journey. At the point where
the hold-up took place was the crest
of a high hill, where the freight road
branches off from the government road
at a sudden turn. When the first coach
came along the robbers, with masked
faces and cooked Winchester rifles,
commanded the driver to halt. While
one man kept the occupants of the
coach covered, the other relieved them of
their money When all had been secured
the driver was ordered to proceed at a
gallop. Each coach was halted in the
same way as it drove up, the preceding
ones being hidden by the trees. When
dts departed for parts unknown.
Colonel Young has an exact descrip-
ton of the men, and it will be almost
impossible for the highwaymen to leave
the park. The robbery occurred about
10 o'clock, but nothing was known of it
until the coaches reached Norris, about
an hour later. Colonel Young was inn
mediately notified by Wire, and soon had
soldiers galloping to every possible out
let of the park.
Two men answering the description of
the robbers were tracked in southerly
direction along the eastern shore of the
lake. Troopers will attempt to head them
by crossing the lake on the government
steamer. Great hopes are entertained of
their ultimate capture. None Of the pas
sengers in the coaches was hurt.

The clearing on Wardlaw street which is now

appearance Of the forest on the opposite side
OF the road. In fact, cultivated fields now ap-
pear in many directions where the slopes and
crowns were recently covered with forest:
On the other hand, Mr. James NJ. Giles
seems TO have take no notice OF the cleared
fields and growing cotton, but was enthusas-
tic over the growth and beauty Of the shade
trees that ornament and make beautiful the
streets OF the city OF his old home.
