A Thrilling Experience of the Late
Senator Caner;
By the recent death of ‘former Sena
ator Thomas H. Carter and the death
more recently of Wally Evans, there ‘
passed away two men through whose
efforts was foiled one of the most
daring stage robberies ever planned in
the west. Senator Carter was In
the smoking compartment of a Puli-
man several years ago when the talk
turned to old days in the west. When
it came his turn to relate a story the
senator said:
"One day in the early eighties, while
I was attorneydor the Wellsdi‘argo
Express company at Helena. I was
sitting in my office looking down on
Main street when my attention was
attracted by two men who passed and
repulsed on the opposite eldo‘ of the
street. One of them seemed to be
laboring under some strong excite-
meat. While I was wondering what
was disturbing him there came a
knock on my door and then the fel-
l0w burst into the room. ,
"‘Are you the attorney for the Wells-
Fargo company? he demanded.
“When I ropiledlii thenlllrmatlve ‘

he blurted out.
“i was startled, recollecting that
that day the Drum Lummon bullion,
amounting to a sum between $25,000
and $50,000. would be carried out on
that stage. '
“ ‘How do you know this?‘ i asked.
“Because I‘m one of the men that
is going to hold it up,‘ was the: reply.
'I dont want to. but I'm afraid ii' I
deal. my partner will kill me.’
“Then the fellow unburdened his
soul. His partner, a great. hairy,
powerful man, more like a human
gorilla thin any man i oversaw, had
carefully laid the plans for the hold-
up. He had worked for months
preparing for the job, and learned
the time which the big shipmena of
bullion wen-omade for the mines. and
had'csrefully selected the spot where
the stage would be plundered
“This was in a wooded gulch where
the toad wound down from a heavy
mountain grate. My informant and
his partner had been Working together

"About 9 o'clock we heard the rum-

view, the horses swinging along atn
