The SENTINEL is again called upon to
record another stage robbery on the
road between Eureka and Palisade.
The last job of the road agents &C.
Cured on Friday evening, and was re-
markable for the cool and deliberate
manner in which the robbers did their
work. As related to us by an eye
witness, it appears that at about Z
o'clock p. m. the Palisade stage had
reached a point about two miles this
side OF Stonehill station, near Mineral
Hill; the driver discovered some sus-
picious locking objects ahead, and fear
ing stage robbers, ~endeavored to turn
his team, but was unable to do so on
account of the deep ruts in the road.
Four masked men appeared, and in
compliance with the customary request
the driver handed down the treasure.
box to n of the party, while the re-
mainder ordered out the passengers and
leisurely proceeded to ''go through
them. The unfortunate male portion
of the passengers, six in number, were
ordered to lilo upon their faces on the
ground, which order they were induced,
from the close proximity OF Sc yeral
small cannon, to obey.
Among the passengers was a minister
OF the Gospel, who, upon being searched,
plead msnfully for his money and watch,
stating that he was but a preacher. and,
per consequence. had only a very triiing
sum with him. But the relentless
bandit didn't care a straw, only allowing
him to retain his watch until finding
poor pickings among the rest of the
passengers. he returned and mildly but
firmly demanded the aforesaid timepiece.
The leader, however, seemed more
tender.hearted, and after extorting a
promise from the Christian gentleman
that he would pray for him and his
friends to the full value OF the watch,
returned it.
1t is shameful to say that we have no
public school, not from want OF desire on
the part OF parents, to be sure, but from
unfortunate occurrences in our com.
munity for the last few months. First
our School Trustees rented q building
and employed a teacher, but when the
property was sold had to give up pos
session of the same; then small pox
with its accompanying terrors OF con-
tagion came among us. and parents we're
OF course determined to protect their
children from all danger All seemed to
have conspired to render the efforts Of
the trustees futile. But now we have a
gratifying assurance OF a determination
on their part to %inaugurate a new order
OF things. A call for an election has
been made for the purpose OF providings
sufficient sum OF money to defray the
expenses Of building a suitable school
house in THIS district. We are pleased to
record this movement. and trust our
people may respond unanimously
"Tax. yes."
