A Bold Robbery.

One OF ne boldest rohberies Of the
year took place at Steamboat Oh
Christnas day. About s O'Clock three
men wearing masks raided Steam
Oat Springs. One went inside with a
six shooter and found some visitors to
the resort from Reno. He stood them
up in the bar Don and told them that
he had partners outside who would
kill them if they resisted. George
Schessler Of this city, bridge builder
for the V. x I. r. r., was relieved Of
five dollars, and a few dollars was
taken from the safe belonging to Mrs.
Morris who runs the Springs. 1t is
said that she had been expecting quite
a sum OF money from San Francisco,
and that is supposed to be the cause
of the laid. Sue had not received the
money, nor as a matter of fact was
she expecting any, although such q
report had been circulated. The rob.
bers are supposed to have hailed from
Virginia City.
