operating In The vicinity OF Granger.
WNo.. on the trail of tic lone robbcr
of the Yellowstone stages. Positive
information is in their hands to the
effect that the robbcr Is moi far from
the town and hopes are entertained by
the party of finding him before night

Among the many "reminiscences of
the recent Yellowstone park stage
robbery those of II. A. Fellows and
sister are being recounted today.
H. A Bellows Is from the quiet town
OF Springfield. Mass, partner in the
Utah Bingham Mining company with
his brother and side partner Of
Reggie Ward, an English fnanccr. His
recent hold-up experience, he allirms,
was quite worth all the disagreeable
consequences
"Of course said MIR. Bellows, my
first words upon being accosted by
the desperate were. I have no money
which was the case, but realized that
could / keep him waiting, my brother
might take advantage of the oppor
tunity to cache the larger amount of
his money.
i was seated on the front seat with
the driver and although we saw the
coach i'm front Of us stop we did not
for II moment suspect the nature OF
the obstruction Had we done so, SUI
ficient time was allowed before the
other coach moved off FOR us to walk
away with our NaluablCS.
Cough UP" said the desperate.
II haven't got cent
Yes you have, cough up
Al right wait a moment, | can't
find II. Hold on there, and presently
/ produced 20 cents. He demurred, but
took it and moved on to the other pas
sensers, In the meantime my brother
had dropped three bills from his roll
and his watch 10 the bottom OF the
coach. The three bills We're for $50
each.
Few Of the passengers who We're
held up Jared so lucl5ilg. with the ex
ception of a trio of young ladies, who
dared the robber to do his worst, His
worst was to cuss a little,
There is something | would like to
tell that robber though and that is,
when H. took my 20 cents ! wore ring
on my finger. a nest Df diamonds with
an opal in the center"
DESPERATE NOT RATIFIED.
The opinion was expressed by mem
bers of the party that the robber was
ratified. He was nervous for his hand
shook like leaf but not ratified for he
moved quickly from one passenger to |
another thereby giving them no time
to hide their valuables. 1t was also
stated that he had a horse tethered
in the bushes ] have discussed the
matter with all members of the party
and also made careful observations al |
the time and / have encountered moth
ing that would lead me to believe the |
horse was waiting him In the bushes.
