On May 14, 1892, John and Charles Ruggles ambushed the Redding-to-Weaverville Wells Fargo stage for a strongbox of about $5,000 in gold coin. John hid the box in Middle Creek, reportedly with a float to mark it, then was lynched in Redding before he would say where. The gold was never recovered.
Middle Creek, about six miles west of Redding (Shasta County)
