Lone Thief Holds Up 150 Passengers

A telegram from Butte, Mont., recounts the act of a highway man Mon- j day who held up and robbed 150 pass:n i gers of 7 stage coaches in Yellow- ; Stone Park. Considerable local in-! terest has been taken in the "holdup” because Mr. and Mrs. James H. | Chapman and Miss Marjorie Loughridge are now touring in the park, and their friends here think it is just about time that they were staging through the wild interior of the Col. Fred Phillips is also at Yellowstone, but as he expected to do the park on horseback in company with an old cow boy friend, it is hardly probable that they were among the stage coach passengers. The highwayman held up seven dis- 1 ferent stage coaches,and secured about $6,000. He then took one of the horses and escaped to the north, fnd shortly after three troops of United States cavalry were in pursuit. The passengers were not injured.
