Show Arrival of the Staoe Robm:r. There was considerable excitement on East Temple street and at the City Hall yesterday evening on the arrival of the men engaged in the lale stage robbery, in charge of U. S. Deputy Marshal Duncan and Hugh White. Esq-, proprietor of the Southern Stage line. When they got into the City Hall, McKay had a reckless devil-me- j care look, with a good deal of snap about him that wis indicative of mis chief with a fair opportunity. The other two presented an ordinary appearance. ap-pearance. From Mr. White we gained the following facts. He, (Mr. White) was at American Fork when he received re-ceived word of the robbery, and started j south immediately, On the way he received a telegram that the men had been caught. When he arrived at Nephi the robbers bore themselves rather defiantly, as if those who bad arrested them had made a mistake and had taken the wrong men. But the evidence against tbeni was too strong, and finally St. Ledger agreed to show where the plunder was concealed. Mr. White took him in his bugi-y to Levan, and there he discovered the fruits of the robbery in a sort of cellar. Dear 'he house where the three men had been sto-'ping, and close by. a hay stack where they had camped. Five hun- and forty dollars in gold and twelve dollars and seventy-five cents in silver, with a hundred and sixty-five dollars in currency which had been taken from the registered packase sack were recovered, re-covered, being all that was stolen. The driver had identified the men as soon as he saw them, McKay as the one who had robbed the coach, St. Ledger as the one who had covered the driver with a shot-gun, and Heath as the one who stood by the coach with a pistol, while McKay -'went through" it. Sheriff Cazier of Juab Co., who arrested ar-rested them with his posse, received a dispatch to bring them up to Provo and deliver them to the United States Marsdal. He brough ttheni up on Thursday Thurs-day and. turned them over yesterday morning. They were ironed and left Provo at 10 a.m. yesterday, arriving in this city at p.m. in the evening. They are in confinement in the city prison. Mr. Vhite speaks in the highest terms of the energy manifested by the Sheriff of Juab County and the citizens of Nephi. ' McKay aud St. Ledger are well known in this city, the former having been proprietor of and the latter connected con-nected with, the Revere House for a length of time. Heath is a discharged soldier, formerly belonging to the dth regiment of U. S. infantry, i , |
