WEATHERFORD, Sept. 6 -- The Weatherford
and Jacksboro stage was robbed this evening about three o’clock,
about eight miles from this place by two young men, a rather stout
one, a blonde, and the other one dark. Mr. Paris Hoerner of Ennis,
Ellis County, the only passenger, was robbed of one hundred and
forty-five dollars and a gold watch and chain. The watch has his
name and the date “December 14, 1874,” engraved in it. From the
driver they took three dollars and fifty cents and a watch. They cut
the mail bags and took several registered packages. They went in the
direction of Jacksboro. One was riding a horse branded on the thigh
with a long bar and a cross in front of it.
