TWO BANDITS STOP
TWELVE COACHES
One After Another Held Up a Dozen
Coaches, Robbed 165 Passengers and
Secured More Than $4,000.

Gardiner, Mont, July 30.-A reward
of 5000 was offered by transportation
companies here today for the arrest of
the two masked bandits who yesterday
stopped IL coaches on their way from
Old Faithful Inn to the Lake Hotel in
Yellowstone Park and robbed 165 pas.
sengers of more than $4,000. A de-
taehment of cavalry and posse of
deputy sheriffs and trappers are ON the
trial of the highwaymen, who are be.
heved to have headed for the Jackson
Hole country in Wyoming.
Immediately after the robbery, Col.
L. NJ. Brett, superintendent of the park
ordered out the troops camped in the
reservation, sent squad of cavalry to
the scene of the holdup and threw a
Gordon around the western and south
ern boundaries of the park.
The bandits selected an ideal spot
for their work. The holdup occurred at
a turn in the road and bandit with a
leveled rifle confronted each coach as
it arrived. The drivers and passengers
were then forced to alight and throw
all their money into sack. No jewelrv
was taken.
Then the passengers were bidden to
re-enter the coach, which, in its turn,
was sent on to wait in line and make
room for the next coach.
Because of the dense brush and
frequent ravines in the vicinity the
bandits have every advantage and it
is believed they viii get away.
Mrs. Bowman, Mrs. J. B. Knox, Mrs.
NJ. j. Braneker and Mr.. and Mrs. Col
Inns Gilmore, all of San Diego. Cal,
were among the holdups' victims.
