superintendent of Park.

The work of the lone highwaynan
VINO held up six stage coaches in Ycl-
lowstoue park yesterday morning and
allowed the seventh to pass, is the one
! topic OF conversation on the salt Lake
streets today. The fact that num-
Der of Salt Lake parties were in the
holdup, and were relieved of their pos
| sessions in the way of loose change and
extra jewelry, is apparent from the
above dispatch, received this morning
| by Assistant Passenger Agent ID. 5.
! Spencer, of the oregon Short Line in
this city. The further fact that the
Salt I.akers headed by Mr., j. Geoghe
! gan, are cheerful over their losses, in
dictated i'm the same dispatch. and that
they are safe, is gratifying to the
friends of the party in this city.
The losses - 80. reported are prob
ably much larger than was at first
| given out From all accounts, the par
| ties going through the park at the time
when the robbery was committed. were
| mostly influential people. and eye-wit-
| nesseS state that the ladies of the
| party the evening before the robbery
! were displaying all kinds OF single and
! cluster diamonds, and this may have
| been the cause leading up 10 the per-
| potration of the robbery. 1t is now
| given out and held as a reasonable
| theory OF the robbery, that some one
! wen acquainted with the business of
/ the hotel. and with the class of people
| travelling through the country, was re-
! sponsible for the deed. and the fact
| that the holdup happened just at a
| time when perhaps more rich tourists
We're passing through the park than at
any other time this season, makes tho
one In close touch with the park and
| the hotel was back OF the bold stage
! robbery.

MRS GEoGHEGAH LAUGHS.
Among the SALT Lakers in the coacn-
! es held up, probably not very rich
haul was made by the lone highway
! man Mr Geoghcgan did not carry
| worry much money in his pockets, ac-
! cordiug to the story of his wife who

| In the dispatch at The head of this col
