Santa Rosa. Cal, July 2s.-One lone
highwayman held up two stages and two
private conveyances on the Potter Valley
road. ten miles north of Uhah. yesterday
afternoon.
He lined up the forty-fve passengers
beside the road and relieved them OF their
vdluables and several hundred dollars.
Not a shot was fred and no one was in
jured
When the Witter Springs and Blue Lake
stage left UIdah. about / o'clock, it was
crowded with passengers. Ten minutes
after it had gone the Ukiah and Potter
Valley stage also pulled out. It was
likewise crowded. Most of those aboard
both stages We're summer tourists. At a
turn in the road the first stage was held
up and all the passengers were compelled
TO stand in line and give over their val
uables.
The robber, who was closely masked. was
just finishing his last passenger when the
second stage came around the bend. This
was stopped also and the passengers
aboard were compelled to line up with
the others. The two teamsters also got in
line when requested.
The robber showed great coolness and
no gallantTy to women. He forced one
woman TO give up her wedding ring. al
though she promised to send him fifty dol
lars if he would let her keep 1t. The high
wayman is supposed TO be the same man
who robbed both stages at the same Uoint
