A famous vehicle is the old Cari- boo treasure stage, which was held up Isy two unseen robbers on the morning of November 1, at 10 -Mile Fiouse, Cariboo, and robbed of mail sacks reputedly containing $4,000. The quick wit of the driver, Charles Westoby, in juggling:the mail -meek which he knew contained $20,000 in gold, with his feet while tossing down a half -empty grain slick to make up, the tally demanded by the robber (they being fooled by this simple de• vice in the shadowy, light), prevented the big haul they expected to meke. The robbers are• 'known to be local men, buthave not yet been identified, although a reward of $1,000 has been offered for their, apprehension and capture.
