100 Tourists Robbed In Yellowstone Park.

More than 100 tourists traveling in 12 stagecoaches through Yellowstone Park, were robbed Friday by one highwayman. At a heavily wooded place along the road about 15 miles from Yellowstone the lone man jumped into the road and commanded the second and succeeding coaches to halt. The people at first thought it a joke but the whole thing was changed when they were told to lay their valuables at the feet of the bandit. Owing to the fact that the tourists are not allowed to carry any kind of firearms there was no resistance and the bandit easily made his getaway.
