HOLD-UPS ARRESTED

Two Men Captured Who Robbed the Mt. Idaho Stage

According to a dispatch to the Spokesman-Review, Charles Frush is confined in the Idaho County Jail charged with the perpetration of Tuesday night’s stage robbery, and Sam Hurley is detained at Grangeville as an accomplice.  Their examination will be held today and the officers say they undoubtedly have the right men.  A letter found by the sheriff’s posse near the scene of the robbery, with other discarded letters from the mutilated mail sack, led to the arrest of the men.  The letter bore the address of Frush and proved to be one sent to him the day before by the Grangeville vigilance committee instructing him to leave town.
