Mammoth Hot Springs, Wyo.-The
boldest hold-up in the history Of the
West took place when two masked
bandits held up forty-ive stage coach.
es in Yellowstone Park and robbed
the passengers of more than $4,000.
The robbers refrained from taking
any jewels. They made their escape.
The hold-up occurred about 10
o'clock near Shoshone Point, between
Old Faithful Inn and Thumb Lunch
Station. The 165 tourists were trav-
cling through the park on forty-five
stage coaches owned by the Yellow
stone Park Transportation Company,
the Yellowstone Western Stage Com
paHy, The Wylie Camping Company,
Company.
AS each of the forty-five coaches
reached the point of the hold-up, a
lone highwayman, about 5 feet 8 in
ches in height and armed with Win
chester rifle, compelled the passen-
gers to descend from the vehicle and
deposit their money in sack which
the robbers had prepared for the pur-
pose. The chief highwayman politely
Informed the astonished passengers
that he required cash only"
The second highwayman had taken
up position a short distance down
the trail, preventing the coaches
from retreating to Old Faithful Inn
to give the alarm.
Driver Frazier of the Yellowstone
Western Stage Company, with Lieut..
R. B. Paddock and a party in a coach
somewhat behind the forty-fve
others, on coming to the top of
Shoshone Point, saw in the road be-
low all the stages lined up and being |
robbed. Frazier turned and made a. |
lively retreat to Old Faithful, where
be reported the hold-up to Col. Brett.
Superintendent of the Park.
One man in the party reported to
have had $1,000 discreetly dropped
a ffty-cent piece in the extended
sack and got away in safety with the
'est of his money
Some OF the passengers who had
cameras and who had somewhat re-
gained their nerve asked for leave
o take pictures of the hold-up. The
'andits agreed and several passen-
,ers took photographs
After an hours delay the bandits
consented to the coaches proceeding.
nd Thumb Lunch Station was reach

IS passengers HAVING suffered any
physical injury. The robbers had
ut the wires to the Yellowstone
