BOISE, Idaho, March 20.—Rendered insane by worry over her school teach- ing, Miss Ida Roberts used a revolver to compel her sick sister to arise from her bed, then captured the 8-year-old daughter of the family with whom she was boarding, forced the child, the young woman and another woman into a carriage, and at the noint of the re- volver Tode fourteen miles before her frenzy refaxed.

Daly and Frank Roche Robbed Near Stege. RICHMOND, March 20.—A man, believed to be one of the Stege rob- bers, who wore a soft hat, was caught between San Pablo and the Gateley ranch about 7:30 o'clock this even- ing and was taken to San Pablo in custody of Deputy Sheriff Boquet. Two men were seen riding horseback and one was caught. The heavy man is still at large in the hills at Pinole. Sheriff Veale’s posse is in pursait. It is supposed that one of the men took the rig to Berkeley and. them went north and was joined by his confed- erate later. The deputies think that the rest of the money is hlq«ltn along the road near Stege. The other man is surrounded and will probably be captured. The authorities to-night learned that Roche had been in the employ of theStAndlrdOflCompnn’lnlum- diting department in San Francisco up to about eight months ago. His services terminated there and he went to the telephone company. OAKLAND, March 20.—Two armed | highwaymen held up John E. Daly of | the livery firm of Kane & Daley and | Frank K. Roche near Stege station at 10:15° o'clock this morning, bound, | gagged and blindfolded. the men and stole from thzir buggy . $1%.009, which was being conveyed from the Central Bank in Oakland to the Bank of Rich- mond to meet the monthly payroll of the Pacific Coast Qil Company at Rich- mond. 3 After leaving the pair of drivers tied fast In a field near by the robbers drove cff with the buggy. which was found at 5:30 o’clock this afternoon by Deputy Marshal W. W. Carey of Berkeley with §1000 in silver in a coln sack, a part of the -plunder, hidden under the buggy robes. The team was found at Addison and Sacramento streets, Berkeley. The horse was tied to an electric light pole. ‘The vehicle had been standing there ail day. When Carey drove the buggy to Martinez's stable, West. Berkeley, he discovered the stolen sack of silver. He returnsd the coin to the Central Bank, where it was identified and placed in a vault. Kane, Daly's partner, identified the team and returned it to the stables at Fourteenth and Webster streets. this moruhgr from the bank along witi a second bag which contained $9090 in gold coin, in es, tens and twenties. The Tobbers evidently did not care to take a‘chance in carrying the silver about with them, as it weighed about sixty pounds, ss against about thirty pounds weight for the gold. The placa where the stolen rig was found is only three blocks from the Santa Fe station at Berkeley. The authorities believe the robbery was planned so that the daring desperadoes would have time to catch an outgeing train at that point. The scene of the crime, which ranks with that of the robbery of ths Judson Company’s paymaster thirteen years ago, was the cut at the Southern F: cific Company’s tracks crossing Po- trero avenue, half a mile south of Stege and about the same distance west of the San Pablo county road lthat leads out of Oakland and Berke- ey. Daly and Roche had left the bank in one of Daly's buggies about 3:15 o'clock. The two sacks of coin were under the seat. Good time was made and the men arrived shortly after 10 o'clock at the east side of the railroad crossing. Daly, who was driving. stopped the horse at the top of the slight grade that the road makes in descending’ toward the tracks, to see whether a train was approaching. He then drove across the tracks and had reached the top of the rise through the cut, jogging along west toward Point Richmond. At this juncture a tall. slender, masked man stepped out from behind a telegraph pole and pointed 2 rifle at Daly’s head. BUGGY IS HALTED. “Stop that team and get out,” de- manded the robber, covering Daly. As he spoke a second man stepped up to Roche and repeated the command, aiming a pistol at Roche’s head “You krow what we are after.” de- clared the rmemnrl; as the halted men stepped from the buggv. “We want the oil money,” he added. The robbers led the horse over to a fence and tied the animal there. Then they grabbed Daly and Reche, mads them climb under a fence, from which a board had been removed. and walked them rapidly along an embankment at the side of the railroad tracks for about 100 feet. There Daly and Roche were gagged, bound hands and feet with bale rope and blindfolded with cheap cotton napkirs. In that helbless condition Daly was bound to a telegraph pole. Roche was rolled on his face in the grass. The robbers ordered both men not to at- tempt to move for half an hour. They searched their victims, but took noth- ing from them, excent two pocket-
