Porbaps I was too muctt scared to remember. I noticed that (he driver seemed to bo very eool. He chewed his tobacco naturally and expectorated in the usual way. 1 have since been told tbat he bad been held up once or twice before in about the same place. A Chinaman wai one of the unfortunate passengers.

When commanded to put bis hands above his bead ha did so, but reluctantly. He evidently did not like tbe looks of the highwayman's pistol, for when it was pointed bis war ho turned bis back to the robber. The Chinaman's arms got tired finally and be lowered them slightly. They went uo again at the command of the robber. He said he loved Chinamen.

While we were being robbed two freight teams came up behind us. One of tbe highwaymen, taking one of the revolvers, went back and stopped the teamsters and made tbem leave the teams and lino up with tbe rest of us. Tbe teamsters were not robbed, however, one of the robbers called Bryant Hunt, a teamster, by name, and said, You are looking fine By The highwaymen, after relieving us, commanded the driver to throw out the box, but not tbe mail, as they did not dare, as one of them said, to bother with It. It was dangerous. The driver of tbe stage was not robbed.

Sympathy was expressed for him by the highwaymen, who said stage drivers never had any money anyway. After breaking open the express box, which contained nothing of value to the roubers, they commanded us to get back In the stage and the driver was directed to go ahead. Arriving at the Mirabel mines, we telephoned to officers at Middletown, Lakeport and Calistoga. Miks Tooxit. THE THIRD MAN.

The Jurors re ported at the hour mentioned in the call seventeen of the nineteen being present.

and half an hour thoroafter they filed into Judge Budd's court with the intlmatio that they had something to report. Judge Budd glanced at the indictment, and a look of surprise overspread his countenance. He knew what it was be fore opening it. The Judge announced tha the bond would be fixed at $10,000, and handing the paper to the clerk, directed that a bench warrant be Issued and that the facts of the indictment be kept qu 1 i until the defendant was In custody. The warrant was handed to Sheriff Cun nlngham, who found Mr.

In a moment Brown came nut an I in a tono as if he had not seen tho Sheriff before dur.ng tbe day, oalledout: "Good afternoon, Sheriff, are you going over to tho office, I'll walk over you?"

Thnre wore others ready to sign the bond, but thov wero not needed. When soon after his release Mr. Brown said ho had nothing to sav regarding tho tndiottnont.

Thero was no need of sarin? anything and no rjoI would come of it. He thought there was a conspiracy agiinst him, but ho hal not thought, it would ba carried so far.

The masked men who held up the Lake county stage yesterday could not have selected a more suit-able plaoe, although the hoi d-up occurred within a few hundred yards of the summer home of Adolph Sutro. The road leads Into a canyon at the point chosen and when held up the stage was on a down grade at a turn in the road, almost entirely surrounded by trees and shrubs. When told to throw up his hands, the driver was not at once able to stop the stage, on account of the steep descent of the road.

The driver, A. R. Palmer, was held up about four years ago In a' plaoe similarly situated. The robbers are now supposed to be hiding in the woods near Oat Hill mine. Large posses are out looking for them and the Sheriff of Lake county is making a determined search.

J. T. Thacker, Wells, Fargo detective, was in Calistoga preparing to begin a systematlo hunt for the high waymen. It will only be a matter of a few days, the officers believe, before the men are caught, as they have only half THE STAGE THAT WAS HELD an hour's start and every possible avenue of escape is being guarded. Marshal Hunt returned from the hunt for the robbers this evening.

Ho went dl- rectly to tbe scene of the hold-up and there took up the trail following tbe rob bers about three miles up Mill creek whore he lost tbe trail. When aproached by a re porter he refused to say as to what be had learned of the men In his hunt. Sheriff Pardee of Lake county, who has been out all day with a posse, arrived In St. Helena to-night. He proposes to see that the outlaws do not loave the country on the train which goes down tbe valley at 6 a.

On board yesterday's stago coach that runs botween Calistoga and Middleton, there were seven passengers from San Francisco, including mysolf and a Mr. Goetjen, of 252 Filth street. Mr. Goetjen had a shot-gun and refcrriug to the some a short while after loyving Calistoga remarked that wo may have use for this gun to-day in case of a hold-up, little realizing that such an actual experience was in prospco'.

About three miles from tbo Mirabel ruine nnd near to tho line dividing Lake and Napa counties, where the s'ago road is compurl-tively level, tho stago horses going at a lively canter two men wearing long-dusters and slouch hats and what appeared to be wbito undershirts over their fnces jumped out of the bushes on the left sid of the road, aud presented what appeared to me to be old-fashioned Coil's revolvers to the driver of tbe stage coajh, commanding him to pull up. The driver, Al Palmer, did so without a second bidding. The rob bers then commanded all tho passengers to get out of the stage, which we did we were then stood up according to in usual fciehwnvman regulation. Mr. Goetjen did not use his gun.

Tho robbers relieved him of tbe possession of the weapon. Atier being lined uo with our hanils above our heads wo were relieved of our money and valuables. One of tho robbers hold the revolvers whllo tbo other searche us. K. L.

"Yes," replied Lynch, but you are not going to take It, are you!" The answer of the robber was inaidibl but it sounded as if he sad: "Tbal'a what we are here for," and when Mr.

Goetien's time come he was relieved of $600 and a gold waicb, but fortunately for Mr. Goetjen, although his presence of mind was not on his gun, it was on his money, for cn hearinir the command to pull up he tucked a big wad of greenbacks between bis trousers and underclothes. However, the robber who. held the revolver told his pal to go back and search Gootjcn opsin, as he was acting in a suspicious manner. His second soarcti failed to find tbe rrernbacka, and Goetjen cos tnppr.

When the robber took Goetjen' wa'cb from him he asked tbe robber if be wouldu't please leave him his watch.

Gray, who presided In the Superior Court of this county at tho trial of Carstcn Dabnken for selling liquor against the ordinance voted by the people at the November election. Gray held that Section cf the County Government Act of 1893 is unconstitutional and void, because It attempts to confer upon the people legislative power to pass police regulations, when tha Constitution confers that power upon the Board ot Supervisors.

They did not speak to me as I rode by, though I thought one of them pointed shot-gun nt me in ordor to mo covered to guard against possiblo attack, but I am convinced now that it was only his peculiar mot hod of carrying bis weapon. few feet farther on I met another man who at first glance gave rise to a suspicion that he was a partner ot the o.her two, He sloppod me and we discussed for some lime the two men woo hud just passod Neither of us was aware of too fact tba a hold-up had just taken place, or at least if he was he did not say anything about it.

From heir appearance, however, I was sure thoy were liigUwarmen, and de termined to effect their capture if possible, Tbe stranger offered to hold my horse, but I was sua somewhat suspicious ot Mm. tie divined mv thoughts and lauchingly tie dared he was not In league with them as I feared. I felt half ashamed of suspecting him and left my horse In his ire. found it a fow hours lator tied to a troo. That stranger, I am convinced now, could tall a great deal about the robbery if he desired to.

1 do not know whether tho otucers have inti rviewed him or not. "My plan of campaign was to make a detour inking a pathway near tho bank of the creek to tbe Arcade ranch and seoure assistance to intercept, them as they passed along the main road. 1 missed my course, however, and lost valuable time getting my bearings again. When finally I did arrive in view or the Arcade ranch 1 was astounded to sou the two passing through the gain al the entranco to tho propnrty, apparentlr with the ob ject of going to the same place that I had in mind. I conciuied at once that they were going to add the residents of the Ar cade ranch to their list of victims and im- media lv turned my steps in another direction for assistance.

"Reinforced by several men I waitad In concealment near the gate for tbe robbers to complete their work ou the Arcade ranch and return, but they never came, and on investigating we learnod they had taken tbe old road that leads to Oat Hill, which 1 had supposed lobe a blind road. They bad skirted the Arcade ranch without having been seen by anr of the workmen. A colored man on my uncle's ranch followed their trail along tne Oit Hill road, but finally gave up the pursuit, as he was unarmed. "The officers up there were slow to take up the chase. The robbery, as near as I can learn, occurred between half-pan 2 an1 3 o'clock in tbe afternoon.

telephoned my vorsion of the affair to Middleton from the tollhouse shortly after 8, but it was after 5 o'clock bofora tbe officers left town. "Sheriff Pardee of Lake county got into the field earlv next morning, well equipped for tbo chase, and if any one catches tbe men 1 think he will be tbe one.
