STAGE HELD UP
BY A MASKED BUT
NERVOUS ROBBER
Two San Francisco Men Relieved
of Their Cash Near Santa
Barbara.

deputy sheriff and he was told of the
circumstances, and the man Hector
went back with him to go in pursuit.
Nothing has been heard from these
men UP to a late hour.
Sheriff Stewart, who was returning
from San Quentin, where he had just
taken some convicts, missed the robbed
stage this morning and was compelled
to take another by way of Lompoc. He
arrived in the city this evening and
ascertained what facts were to be
known, and Immediately left for the
scene of the robbery, accompanied by
Deputy Sheriff Peter Storm, j. O. Arkly
and his fine bloodhounds.
Paddock, of the firm of Jones, Pad
dock & Co. of San Francisco, and J.
w. Armstrong, of Miller, Schloss &
Scott of San Francisco, were the vic
tins. These gentlemen are we'll known
throughout the State as the heavenly
twins" because they are continually to-
gether on the road. When seen at the
Arlington Hotel this evening and asked
to describe the robber they both agreed
that he was the largest man they had
ever seen. They said that the robber
was lying on his stomach behind
fallen tree with his head and shoulders
above the log. He wore red bandana
handkerchief as mask, with holes cut
for his eyes, a blue jumper and blue
overalls, which Mr.. Paddock said had
been washed and were slightly faded.
He wore no hat, and had very thick
sandy or brownish hair. They say he
had a decidedly "Dutchy" accent, and
they knew it was not a disguised
voice, for he appeared to be very
scared, and his voice trembled in such
a way that it was evident that it was
not faxed. His gun was very unsteady
all the time. Mr.. Armstrong stated that
he was surely an amateur at the buSl-
ness. The stage drove slowly, and the
passengers looked back until they were
out of sight, but the robber did not
move from his position.
The stage driver, Frank Cook, says
that he believes it to be the same man
who did the holding up four months
ago, but he cannot account for the dis
guised voice 1t occurred in exactly
the same place that the two other rob-
berries occurred, but the robber was on
the opposite side of the road this time.
There are several theories going the
rounds this evening. One is that the
robber is a man living near the scene
of to-day's trouble, and who has been
suspected of the other two robberieS.
This is based on the statement that the
robber made as the stage was leaving,
Tell Hicks l shall never bother him
again." and also that he was armed
with a shotgun. Another theory is to
the effect that he is the same man who
has been doing the holding up in other
parts of the State and is travelling
around In this business. This is borne
out by the fact that man answering
the very same description was seen yes
terday carrying a shotgun and q roll
of blankets about five miles farther UP
the road. There are now ten or fif-
teen men in pursuit, and both the Ven
tura and San Luis Obispo County Sher-
ifs will join in the hunt.

would have been gobbled up by many dog
owners ere this had there been a deposit
placed in the hands of any reputable par
ty as a guarantee of good faith on the
part of the challenger. However, if Mr..
Deckelman is still of the opinion that his
dog Rocket is equal to the task of lower

man has to do is to deposit 500 in The

order by the owner of Connemara. which
dog is considered by many expert fanciers
the equal, if not the superior, of For
Freedom.
Judge John Grace has positively stated
that he is strongly opposed to Judging
match races. but Mr.. Deane, the owner
of Connemara, has signifed his willing
ness to run his dog against Rocket in any
kind of race or series of races and at
any park and under the eye of any Judge
who is adjudged competent to decide upon
the merits of the contestants according

The San Francisco call., 1899-02-10

SANTA BARBARA, Feb. 9.-Three
times in twice as many months the
Santa Barbara and Los O1ivos Stage
Company's stage has been held up in
the very same place and its passengers
relieved Of their money and valuables,
and still the robber or robbers is at
large. From descriptions given and
his mode of operation it seems like the
work of one man.
This morning at 9:15, as the stage
which leaves Los Olivos for Santa Bar
bara at o'clock was ascending a short
grade. at the foot of which runs Stepp
Creek, situated near the red gate of the
San Marcos rancho and twenty-five
miles from this city, the passengers
were surprised to hear from behind
them the command halt" On look
ing around they saw lying behind
fallen oak tree a masked man and
shotgun pointed at the sage The sec
ond command to halt was given and
the stage was stopped. The robber
then said Get out" A second time he
called, Get out id quick, you on
the back seat" E. L. Paddock and j.
w. Armstrong Immediately complied
with the request.
request Armstrong threw down $37,
and Paddock SO or $40. The robber
turned his glance upon Paddock and
said: You are taking and withhold
ing some of your money. You are too
well dressed to carry so little with
you" Paddock pleaded that it was
all he had, but that he had a school
party and would give him this if he
wished. The robber said he was look
ing for cash and not for school war
rants. He then commanded them to
turn all their pockets inside out.
The driver just at this time noticed
that the robbers gun Ca double bar
relied shotgun) was shaking very ner-
Vously, and he asked him to please
turn it a little to one side, as he feared
it might go off. This the robber did,
but he was so excited and nervous that
he soon pointed directly at the bunch.
He ordered the two men to board the
stage and asked the driver to throw
out the Wells Fargo box. The driver
said there was none and the robber
was satisfied. He then said that "the
other fellow looked as though he had
no money and that he would not trouble
him" The "other fellow was a man
by the name Of Hector, who is a farmer
living in the neighborhood. They were
all thanked for their money and the
inconvenience he had caused them and
he bade them good-by. As they were
leaving he cried out Tell Hicks l shall
never bother him again, and that will
not be here when he comes.'
Hicks is the exSheriff who was in
office during the last two robberies. 1t
was not twenty minutes after the stage
left that a deputy sheriff was hot on
the trail. In about ten minutes Frank
Manderville and two men by the name
of Kelley were met. Manderyille is a
