ROBBERS HAUNT OLD SCENES
Stories of Old Stage RobbeTies Are
Revived In Northern California.

Il '
Revived In Northern California.
The old stage road between Yreka
and Scott Valley, which in earlier
years was famous for robberies and
holdups, has not quite lost its ro-
nance, for within the last few days
a robbery occurred on the mountain
between here and the valley that in
audacity quite equalled any of the ex-
ploits of the earlier days, says a Yre-
ka dispatch.
Tim Barnard. a. llveryman of
EGreenview, in Scott Valley on his
way from this city to his home, "a
miles from here, and when on cross
ing the mountain, dozen miles from
here, a robber climbed up on the
rear end of the wagon driven by Mr..
Barnyard, made vicious assault on
the old man, striking him over the
head with a heavy sixshooter, and
after beating him into insensibilty,
robbed him Of 1886.
Leaving the unconscious man in
the rig, the robber disappeared in the
woods. Searching parties have been
securing the woods and mountains,
but no trace OF the outlaw has been
found.
Years ago the old stake road was
popular with outlaws. but It has been
a dozen years since a robbery has
occurred on that highway. The last
noted one was in the late '9Os. when
a stage was held up near the sum-
NIT Of the mountain at a sharp turn
in the road, and near the spot where
Mr.. Barnard was robbed a few days
ago.
The lone hlghwayman was hidden
behind a large rock at the roadside
and demanded that the treasure box
be thrown to him. When the driver

Operate on Heney

Assistant District Attorney Heney
was successfully operated on this
morning and his condition is regarded
as being most favorable for his re-
covery.
The bullet fred by Haas, the ex-con-
vict and rejected juror in Ruefs pre-
vious trial, who committed suicide, was
removed at 1:20 this morning from the
muscles over the lower left maxillary.
The bullet had entered the right side
of Mr.. Heney's face just forward from
the ear ranged downward across the
palate and was located In the lower
Jaw by means of the X-ray.
The operation was performed by DR..
Wallace /. Terry, chief surgeon OF the
Central Emergency hospital, assisted
by Drs. Stillman, Huntington, Moffatt
and several other prominent surgeons.
Mr.. Heney was etherized and was
under the anaesthetic for one hour.
The bullet was found imbedded In the
muscular part of the jaw near i'm
portant blood vessels, which required
great care and delicacy in operating
and was responsible for consuming so
much time in the operation.
The actual work of removing the
piece of lead when the surgeons finally
reached it took but twenty minutes.
Endures Ordeal Well
The wounded man is reported to have
stood the ordeal remarkably well and
rallied rapidly after coming out from
under the influence of the ether. AT l
o clock his pulse and respiration were
normal, but temperature little high.

slant attendance upon her husband
