B — LONE ROBBER ACCOMPLISHES B0L0 HOLD-UP Gets Express Boxes | and Passengers’ Valuables. Special Dispatch to The Call REDDING, Dec. 21.—A lone highway- man held up the Redding-Weaverville | stage this morning at 9:30 o’clock as the | big four-horse outfit was climbing: the | steep grade near the aivide four miles | above Shasta. | The hold-up was one of the most daring ever heard of in this county, and single- handed, with the #ssistance of nothing but an exceedingly small revolver, the highwayman compelled seven passengers to donate their coin and valuables and the driver to hand over the Wells-Fargo strong boxes. The mail sacks were not molested. The spot where the robbery took place is a lonely. one, four miles from the near- est stopping place and at an altitude of nearly 2000 feet above the level of the sea. Shortly after the stage had left the watering trough and as the horses were laboriously, climbing through the deep mud up the last stretch of the long grade 2 masked man appeared on the road ahead of the stage, leveled a pistol at Jim Wilson, the driver, and commanded {'Stop.” SECURES EXPRESS BOXES. The stage came to a standstill and the rcbber immediately begun operations. Ha compelled each of the seven passengers, two of whom were ladles, to get out one by one and line up on the bank side of the coach. He commanded the driver to throw out the express boxes and to stay in his seat and not to move. He then cooly commanded the five men In the line to cast off their coats and vests and i 'la_v all their money and jewelry on the 1 ground with the clothes. This request was complied with. The two ladies were required to deposit their valuables on one | of the coats. The robber then proceeded to gather up the boot 7, the coatless men standing shivering the while with their hands m the air. During this process Robert Carson of Shasta and his 9-year-old daughter drove up back of the stage and Carson attempt- ed to pass, thinking something had broken on the stage. The robber instantly cov- ered him with the revolver and ordered | him to remain where he was or get shot. Continued on Page 4, Column 1.
