Of the Robbery.
Fresno, Cal.-Charged with holding
up single-handed and robbing fve Yo-
semitic stages near Advance Saturday
night, Jack Sweet Of Grub gulch has
been arrested here and taken to Wa
wona for Identification, according to
reports just received here.
Sweet fs suspected Of having held up
the Yosemite stage one year ago. No
arrest was then made because he came
forward with an alibi. Sweet owns a
small tract Of land at Grub gulch, In
the Sierras. and works as a laborer in
the mines.
The sheriff's ONCE at Madeira has
NO omcial Information concerning the
arrest and Sheriff Jones has not been
In communication with the office since
he plunged into the mountains Satur-
day in pursuit OF the bandit.
News Of the orrest was brought here
by man named Graham from Ahwa-
nee and all depends upon the possibil-
ity OF Identification which several
stage passengers say they are able to
furnish
The first authentic information was
received last nightin Fresno when ].
F. Tibbett OF Riverside, who with his
wife and Miss Amy Michelbacher had
come out Of the valley. The robbery
occurred six miles from the stopping
place at Advance on the Yosemite
side. At that place the road winds
around the side of a hill and comes to
a sudden point. At this point the rob-
Der stepped out and ordered W. A.
Palmer, the driver OF the first stage,
to stop. The latter quickly complied.
The highwayman wore black mask
and had sacks tied about his feet to
prevent the leaving OF any telltale
tracks as clue for pursuing posse.
He held in his right hand Winches-
ter. The man behind the mask and
gun ordered the passengers to alight.
The women screamed but the robber
emphasized his order and all quickly
got out Of the stage and lined up on
the road with their hands above their
heads. H. w. Elliott, from Hornitos,
was ordered to take the express box
from the stage.
While he was waiting for the other
stage to come up, the robber shot the
it's contepts. The bandit stopped the
other stages in the same way, lining
the passengers up and keeping them
covered with his gun.
When all the passengers. forty-five
IN number, were lined up the bandit.
with show of gaiety, selected young
and pretty girl as his first assistant
and told her she was appointed col
lector. She hesitated a moment, then
went about the work. The girl did
not come up to the robbers require
ments. and he told her that she was a
poor highwayman, ordering her to
get into line and appointing man to
take her place, requiring him to search
the passengers.
An English woman and her daugh-
ter were in the party and when the
robber approached her she dropped in
the road in dead faint. He only
laughed as he searched her.
The bandits camp was found where
he cooked his meals and where he
burned his DISCUSSES after the robbery.
The officers found $50 which the rob-
ber overlooked in the express box
which he rifled and $3.50 that tourists
had thrown into the brush.
