An Adventure) on the Old Mariposa
A Stage.
There were five men of us in
one of theold Mariposa stago
coaches bdfore the days of the
railroad nml it was iivo o'clock
in the aftnoon of an August
day. "W6"'oreon our way to
Stockton, and of the passengers
one was alieutenant in the reg

prosjiectors and minors. Xone
of us had met each other previ
ous to t lie start. Those were
perilous times, and the iirst half
hour was spent in sizing each
other up. I don't know to what
onclusion the others came, but
1 looked over the four men and
Miid to myself:
"The lieutenant ought to fight
in ease we were attacked, but lie
.-eems too nervous to be gamy.
The tourist was ill and lias no
sand, but the ranchman and
prospector could be depended
on."
At that time the coach which
was not stopped twice out of
live trips was considered r very
lucky, hi seme instances the
robbers were driven oil but in
most cases the passengers sub
milted to being "held up," and
were "lad to get oiF with noth-
i l i . i
in"- worse, i nau wiin me over
o
SIX
thousand dollars in bank .
bills and gold, and I determined
,,..t t tv.h- xvith ilmf mnnov
not to part with that money
without a iilit. The ranchman
had four thousand dollars, and
the miner about three thousand
dollars, :ts was afterward lcarn
id and both had 'determined to
light. We had just forded the
.Merced river, and had come to
a lonely stretch of road, when
the ranchman pulled his revol
ver and examined the caps. It
had not yet returned to the hol
ster when we herd a shout, the
report of a pistol, nnd the stage
came to a full stop. I reached
for my pistol, as did the miner,
knowing that robbers were at
hand, but before mire was out
the lieutenant flunj; his arms
around me and cried:
"For Clod's sake, make no
inovp. nr wn s in nil )i mil t- 1
dered! Let them take all we
have!"
At the same time the tourist
ling himseir upon the miner,
anil neither of us had a weapon
out when a robber showed him
self at either tlcorl He would
have also killed the other, lint!
his revolver failed on the second
shot, and the robber pushed his
revolver in and fired with the
muzzle pressed against the poor
fellow's heart. A third robber
then came up, and we were cov
ered from either door ami called
upon to surrender. The jig was
up, and we climbed out, deliver
ing our pistols butt foremost as
ue left the staee. There were
four of us and only two robbers.
but when a man has the drop i
on you ami means business its
110 use to kick. "We were plac
ed in a row, and while one of
the fellows kept us covered the
went ihroujih each man in turn.
The lieutenant shelled out a
watch and SO, the tourist a
watch and 400, and they got
from the other two of us the
sums J have previously named.
1 had my uanlt mils 111 my noot-
lc"s. but as were Joreed to stnp
: to our shirts, they found every
I last dollar. Vt l"le we were

j man was inillcd from the coach
iaiiii stripped ami romieu.
I l-:ic no doubt that, the rob
bers meant to shoot every one
of us after securing the plunder
in order to avenge the death or
their comrade, but the unusual
ly large booty put them in good
spirits and they underwent a
change of heart. The one who
searched us stepped over the
body a dozen times without
seeming to care whether it was
a log or a man. "When linally
thromdi with us he bent over
f"
the dead body and began rob
bing it, saying to his coin pan
ion:
'Bill won't have any more
use for money, and wc .might as
well take his dollars along.
Poor Bill! We shan't never
i pto)" poker together again."
hen they were ready to go
they cut the harness so that the
stage would be detained a eon
file of hours, broke up or carri
ed olF every lire arm and drank
to cur health from a flask the
tourist, had with him. They
made oil for the foothills to the
cast and neither of them once
looked back. I was mad and
no mistake, and the miner gave
lUnmogftq uis feelings m cur
ses which almost cracked the
stones around us. AVo had
been robbed of every dollar, and
with the money, our every pros
pect. The tourist could get
more at Stockton, and the lieu
tenant was out only a few dol
lars anyway. I was not yet
dressed when he began to put
on airs over us, claiming if we
had not been so hasty he would
have managed the alFair to the
defeat of the robbers. This ad
ded to my anger, and I sailed in
and pounded him until he yell
ed for mercy.
It was just sunset when the
stage was ready to go on, but
there were two of us who did
not propose to go that way.
We were unarmed, but deter
mined, and while the stage lum
bered on down the road we
found a club apiece and set out
on the the trail of the robbers.
Luckily for us the miner had
,nnK ' l,,e country alio
i i .i . i
f.cen r of t,,e Winter's
I''6- U e therefore had no diffi-
culty in following the trail un
til darkness came on. The fel
lows made directiy for ihe foot
hill, and we had no doubt that
they had some sort of a' cave or
strong hold out there. They
took matters so coolly that they
could not have been a great
ways ahead of us when darkness
fell.
I was then for resting until
daylight, but the miner uiged
that we should push on. From
the topography of the country
he felt certain that a ravine or
rift would be found not far away.
We were then between the foot
hills and the true mountain, in
a narrow valley, and a full moon
had come up. "Without this

We went ahead very cautious
ly up this valley for about a
mile, and of a sudden :i rift
opened to the left and the glare

of a camp lire greeted our eyes.
It was not over two hundred
feet away, and after a minuite
we made out the forms of the
two men as they seemed to be
preparing supper. "We had
found them but what of it?
They had all the arms and we
were defenseless. We crept
back a few yards to hold a con
sultatiiin, and the miner care

was, a short, dry rift, with

we could not say. We were not
three minutes deciding to make
the attempt, and we prepares
for it by leaving coats, vests ami
boots bi'hin 1. We began tin
aceut from a hundred feel back
from the riTt, ami 1 do not be
lieve two panthers could havi
done 1 otter. The sii'c of tlu
mountain was thic! ly covered
with cedas, vines and rocks,
and progress was made almost
entirely by creeping. Once we
drew ourselves up a cliff fully
twenry -feet high by a grape
vine hanging down, and again
we made use of a tree to seek a
hi"her elevation.
Wo had been going up for
half an hour before we bore oil
to the rijjht in the direction ol
the rift. Wc then had to move
far more cautiously, and I pre
sume it was a full hour from the
time we left the valley before
we lay our stomachs a hundred
feet aiiove the camp lire and
looked over. The men were di
rectly above us, seated close to
gether, and
were smoking as
they counted the money.
We had but one way to at
tack. Luckily for us it was a
'straight descent. I could have
dropped a coin fair upon the hat
of the man beneath me. AVe
were out upon a rocky shelf, but
there were loose stones of all si
zes about us. 1 selected one
weighing about twenty-live
pounds and the miner got one
equally as large, and we crept
back to the etljje with them.
The fall of the smallest pebble
would ctartlc tho men below,
and we used as much caution as
if our lives would pay the for
feit. After a bit wc we ready.
For about a minute lost my
nerve. It seemed a horrible
thing to do. Had I been alone
I believe I should have relented.
The miner sceme-1 to read my
thoughts, rnd he put his mouth
to my ear and whispeivd:
"Kemcmber how they shot
the ranchman, and remember
that they took our every shill
ing." We poised the stonespn the
edge of the cliff, and at a whis
pered "Now" from him we"
dropped them. I heard them
strike, and drew back. He
peered over, and after a momei.t
recovered his balance and said:
"Now we can go down. Those
n
chaps will never rob another
coach."
It took us longer to go down
than to come up, but we made
the descent in safety, and walk
ed around to and up the rift.
I he lire had nearly died out.
We replenished it and then saw
that both men were dead. It
was a horrible and one that I do
not care to describe. Our rocks
had fallen squarely down upon
their heads, and you caVi imagine
the result. There was a dry,
airy cave out a lew ieet away,
and the cans hael made the
place a rendezvous for a long
time. We recovered every dol
lar our coach had been robbed of
and more than as much again
which had been taken from oth
ers. The cave had a big supply
of lire arms, blankets and provis
ions, and in a mail bag hanging
on the wall were ten gold and
silver watches, five or six valua
ble pins, and lire arms worth at
least $000. We not only secured
the wealth, but we made an even
divide and kept every dollar of
it. An attempt was made in
Stockton to compel us to "divvy"
with several people who h d
been robbed, but it was a l'di'm
As the tourist was out of n-ady
cash we gave him !;'2U0, but we
would not even sell the lieutenant
back his watch at any juice. It
was told all over the si. pe tin
slope that our haul amometl to
$20,000. If it diil we earned ov

out a bad gang and leaving iln

TRADE P VV'i' MARK t
A Hundred Tons of Money.
It hardly seems possible that
the money paid in one month for
a ten-cent article, could, if pen-
f nies were used in payment, weigh
one hundred tons. Yet one jf
our bright school loys has figur
ed that this is true of diamond
Dyes. To judge from the stock
of oils dealers in tlye stuffs, Dia
mond Dyes own the field of
package dyoa, ami are a complete
success. Of course they have
imitators. "Nothing is a success
until imitated." liut no one
wants to risk a co:rit.rf it wh.ni
the genuine can be o' t ine 1 at
the same price. Time new col
ors have latelv been jid.hd to tne
list of Diamond Dyes: Fast
Stocking Black, Turkey I!ed for
Uotten, a i ui Brown for Ct tte:i.
The manufu. turers. We.l-, liieh
ardson it Co., Burlington, Vt.,
will send eo!ortd sain p. of
these new dyes, with bojk of di
rections, to any address, free of
charge. These additions seem lo
have made tlu line so complete
that any shade can be matched
with Eonie co!or of Diamond
Dyes. The beautiful s.imple
bouk of shaded colors, lately Sent
to all dealers in dyes, wiil de
light the eye of nay lady. "It's
easy to dye with Diamond Dyes,'
is so aCsoIutely t.ue that home
dyeing is no longer a dilhcult and
disagreeable tatk. Almanacs,
with their hints as to proper
times for different work, tell u.i
that now is the time for spring
dyeing. This, together with the
thought of that hundred tons of
money, leads us to ask what
school boy can figure ho.v many
thousands of ladies arc now say
ing that this is the time to use
Diamond Dves. a
StandoCs.
When the collector calls around
and the man who owes the bill
says, ' I'll see my wife about it"
