Robbed a Train.

As train No. Il. left Pixley Cal. last
Friday evening, FIVE men boarded it.
Two went on the engine and covered the
engineer and fireman with reVolvers.
When about two miles from the station
the train was brought to stop, and
the other three men entered the ex-
press car, and ordered the messenger to
open the box. covering him with revol-
Vers. Dynamite bombs were exploded
under the car, and during the excite
ment several passengers ran toward the
front. Two of them were shot. E. S..
Bentley. of Modesto, was probably fa-
tally wounded, and Charles Ga5ert, Of
.Poso, was killed instantly. The pas
senger coaches were not molested. 1t
is thought that the affair was not the
work of professionals, as it was need
lessly murderous. The robbers secured
only S4O0. Armed parties are securing
the country in search of the robbers.
"A month ago vas happyr is the
declaration Of Bryan w. Proctor the
poet. So were lots of other folks, who
are now telling in decided nasal tones:
'sGot toad in my head. = But there
is still happiness to be secured; bottle
