Early in the morning the stranger departed, saying he had some friends hear Hot Springs from whom he had strayed, and inquired the way.
That night a man with a shotgun stayed at Charles Standford's in the mountains about four miles from the scene of the robbery. Sheriff Johnson took the trail with his bloodhound, but succeeded only in finding the robber's mask, the boxes broken open and a pair of overalls. When the hold-up was reported search began for the robber. Evidently the highwaymen knew this money was on the stage. On the day of the robbery Flanagan drew a large sum of money from the County Treasurer and expressed it to himself at Mendocino. Supervisor John Flanagan, whose home is at Mendocino, comes at times to the county seat to cash warrants due himself as a county officer and Road Commissioner, and when he makes these trips he is usually commissioned by many of his neighbors to cash warrants for them also. This theory was strengthened, because it was evident that whoever robbed the stage must have had certain information in order to carry out the plan. Because of this the theory of the townspeople was that the hold-up must have been committed by some one living in or near the town. The robbery took place within a few hundred yards of where four men were at work in a field. The robbery took place about 3 o'clock in the afternoon,about six miles southwest of Ukiah, at the foot of the mountain, on the road leading to Anderson Valley. The stage to the coast from Ukiah was stopped by a highwayman on Jun 15, and $1019.04 taken from Wells-Fargo's box.
