Montana.
The stage running between Malta
and Zortman, Mont, was held up by
lone bandit and sum estimated at
about $4,000 is said to have been Sc
cured. 1t occurred just north of Fort
man as the stage was entering the Lit
tie Rockies with a consignment CT
money to pay the wages of the miners
al the Zortman mines.
The robber apparently had five or
six hours start of possee, mounted
upon the fastest horses to be had,
which left Malta Immediately upon re-
ceipt Of word Of the holdup. The To-
cation is in a particularly wild spot
In the mountains, affOrding every OPP
portunity for the shelter and escape
Of the bandit. One man commanding
trail there could almost hold a half
dozen men at bay for hours.
Some members of kid" Curry's
gang Of train robbers and horse thieves
is suspected Of the holdup. Six years
ago the Curry gang held up a Great
Northern train in the vicinity Of Malta,
securing about $4,000. Many of the
pals Of kid" Curry still live in north
