Woodruff & Ennor's up stage was
stopped three miles this side Of the Hill
and robbed of Wells, Fargo & Co.'S
treasure box. One man had the
temerity to do the job. Pete Taylor,
the driver, was alone on the seat, though
there was three passengers inside the
coach. Taylor was coming up the
canyon at a slow pace, and when near
the summit he was aroused by the
word "Stopi' with a six-shooter dis.
played in close proximity to his head.
which thoroughly awakened him to a
realization of the situation. He was
commanded to throw down the box,
which request he speedily compiled
with. We are not certain as to the
exact number. but it strikes US that not
less than a dozen or fifteen acquisitions

treasure box in that section within the
last IS months. II must be that there

siding permanently somewhere in that
neighborhood. We would advise
Wells. Fargo & Co. to keep a man en-
ployed at that point to bring in the
rifed boxes.
