What Alfalfa and Egyptian Corn VIII do
for Eeef.

What Alfalfa and Egyptian Corn Will do
for Beef.
There perhaps is no State in the Union
where better beef can be obtained the year
round than in California. No other section
of our country has green pastures the year
round and nowhere in the world can bet
ter beef be produced for SO little money.
The Hebron Bros. Ct this city have been
in the cattle business for over quarter of
q century and no firm is better posted on
the best breeds for beef or have better iacil-
tiles for producing the same. they had
two carloads of cattle shipped to
this city few days since for
Christmas beef from their celebrated
wild Flower Stock Farm" in Fresno
county. The cattle were all of the
Hereford and Durham breed, these gentle
men having long since learned that thor
oughbreds make the best meat. This meat
has been hung up in the shop of Mohr g.
york at Eleventh and streets, and in their
own establishment, the City Market" J, be-
tween Front and Second. Those who desire
to see one of the finest meat displays ever
made in this State should inspect these
Christmas goods"
At Mohr & Yoerk's is shown a Hereford
calf six months old which dressed 500
pounds. Some of the yearlings dressed
over 700 pounds. The Hebron Bros. say
they have learned that if you want good
growths and choice beef you must feed for
it. They feed their cattle on alfalfa and
Egyptian corn, and get more and better
beef at one year than can be obtained in
three years on what is termed cattle ranges.
This is a saving of two years time and
the extra cost is more than set off By pro-
ducing three times as much meat. The
beef is firm, tender, and cannot be excelled
in none of its qualities

A BOLD DEED.
THE OVERLAND EXPRESS ROBBED
LAST NIGHT.
Two Men Rifle the Express Car at
Clipper Gap, But Miss a
Sack With $4,000.

Train No. 1, known as the Eastern Over
land Express, which left this city last even
ing at 7:45 O'Clock. had little experience
with traiD-robbers on the mountains.
The train, which was in charge
of Conductor Burnett, was climbing
the hill at pretty lively gait, and had
reached point little beyond Clipper
Gap, when two masked men appeared at
one of the side doors of the express car,
smashed in the upper (glassl portion and
covered express messenger Robert John
ston, of this city. and - Carpenter, his
" helper" with revolyers.
Under the protection of their guns the
two men climbed into the car and one of
them proceeded to go through Wells, Fargo
d Company's safe and packages, while the
other held the two young men al bay at
the point of his weapon.
The robbers ransacked the car pretty
thoroughly, taking all the coin in
sight in the safe. and letters and other
packages that might appear to contain
coin or valuahles. Strange to say, how
ever, they overlooked bag in the safe con-
tanning $4,000 in coin, beside several
others with much smaller sums.
When near New England Mills they dis
appeared through the side door and
dropped to the ground-the train mean
time going at its usual spesd-and disap-
peared in the gloom of the forest
On reaching Colfax, where The train was
due at 1920, conductor Burnett telegraphed
to Superintendent Wright the particulars
of the robbery.
The messenger and his companion de-
scribe the robbers as follows: One of the
men was tall, of light complexion, smooth
shaver, and had face of the elongated
pattern. His weight is about 175 pounds.
The other was man of medium size, dark
complexion, and weighs about 165 or ITO
pounds. He had the lower half of his face
covered by handkerchief, but it was no.
ticed that it was adorned by q mustache of
dark color. Both men are young, probably
from 80 to So years of age.
a dispatch was also sent at late hour
hOAh NO4laA W Il elk 1TdCy, Oup6TluIenu6lC
of Wells, Fargo & Co.'S business here, and
it found him busy at the office of the COM
pany. The dispatch stated that Constable
Dryer, of Colfax, with two assistants, had
already started into the mountains in pur-
snit of the robbers.
About 1:30 this morning Superintendent
Wright and Mr.. Tracy were holding a con-
ference in the formers office when
REcoRD-UNIoN reporter reached there
comparing notes and discussing the
situation. Meantime steam was being got
ten up on one of the locomotives, which
was about to start from here with railroad
detectives True and Burke and some other
officers.
Both Superintendent Wright and Mr. !
Tracy stated that the railroad and express
companies would offer the usual rewards |
for the arrest and conviction of the rob-
bers and also percentage on any money |
recovered. These combined rewards |
amount to a very handsome sum.

Odell & Herzog, 1920 and 1922 K street,

fine meats. No better or more artistic dis
play of choice meats was ever made in
Sacramento than that seen at the New

notable FEATURES of the display were two
dressed sfeers-one two years old, weighing
zoo pounds -lshe other four years old, and
i. 700 pounds III weight. Oden & Herzog
take pride in the fact that the beef and
mutton shown last night was raised by
them on Their stock ranch and faftened
for their Christmas trade. The same dis
play will remain for the inspection of the
public to-day. Everybody ought 10 visit
the market and witness the most beautiful
show ever made of meats in this city.

Metropolitan Thearer.

The Carleton opera troupe opens at the
Metropolitan tonight with the beautiful
opera Nanon," by Genee. Cartoons
company, which has always been popular
here, is announced to be larger and stronger
than on any previous visit Over half
hundred people appear on the stage. Stress
is laid upon the costumery of the company,
next after its musical power, and in this
latter essential the management claims for
smoothness due to the supervision of Mr.
Carleton, who is exacting as a musical
artist and manager of opera, and
makes ell things bend to give
exactly what he promises the pub
lie. Among the principals of the
troupe are Charles II. Drew, the light
comedian, Jay c. Taylo ]. K. Murray, e.
de Masa, Robert Broderick, Miss Alice
Vincent, Clara Wisdom, Rose Beaudet,
Maggie Baxter, and the new prima donna,
Miss Clara Lane, soprano. 1t is claimed
that the chorus is of notable strength, and
that the work is characterized by intelli-
gence, spirit and great precision, slovenli-
ness being thing that Carleton will not
tolerate in any degree in musical work.
Some seven weeks ago the Carleton, the
Casino and the McCaul opera troupes
opened simultaneously IN Chicago, each in
new opera, which led the Times of that
city to say: In all respects, in the
Carleton troupe was the greater excel
lence." The prices foG tonight are 81,
81 % and so cents. The box-sheet has
filled well, and the promise is for sue
cessful season.
