CLIPPER Gap CAR ROBBERY
Confession Of One Of the Alleged
PARTICIPANTS.

ii. L. Gordon, recently convicted at
Auburn, Placer county Cal. OF COM
plicity in the Clipper Gap train rob
berry on the oath day OF last December,
and sentenced TO ten years at
San Quentin. has since made a full
confession OF his crime. Gordon says
that the job was done by himself and
his brother George. Their purpose
had been to rob the express car on the
train OF the preceding evening, but
they found that the windows Of the
car were protected by the iron bars
and they abandoned the idea.
The next night everything was 10
their liking and they did the job very
neatly. They had some iron ladder
rungs made at a blacksmith shop in
Sacramento, which they took with
them to Auburn and constructed their
rope ladder in a hotel at Auburn.
They had some sharp-pointed steel
hooks made to keep the ladders from
slipping, and also took along q sledge
and cold chisel which they had made
at Melville's shop on / street, between
Fourth and Fifth in Sacramento.
1t will be remembered that many
persons secuted the idea OF the rob-
bers having descended from the rooi
OF the car to the windows OF the side
doors, but Gordon says they did by the
aid Of the ladders.
They divided the plumber at o point
about a mile from Auburn (some
$4,000 and separated. Gordon says
he was sitting beside the track this
side OF Newcastle, that night when the
special train went up With officers
True, Burke and Hickey, whom he
recognized through the lighted win
dows. The next night he went to
Sacramento on a freight train, arriv.
ing at 10 o'clock, and put up at q
lodging-house at Fourth and K streets.
He stayed three days, and then wen,
to Los Angeles and afterwards to
Kansas City, Missouri, where he was
arrested. The whereabouts OF his
brother Is not known.
Gordon says his chief purpose in
making the confession is that he de.
sires to remove the last vestige of sus-
picion. il any remains, against the
honesty and faithfulness Of express
messengers David Johnston and EN-.
DRY Carpenter, whom some over-hasty
persons had accused OF completely in
the crime. He said that himself and
brother had robbed the Mendocino
stage Just before the train robbery,
and that ten years of crime had been
enough for him.

Two gentlemen from one of the largest
retail houses In Philadelphia came to { he
medicinal spring at Gladstone. on the
Philadelphia road. to-day and tried to
make bargain with Professor Hunt TO
take all the water that the spring could
furnish; they thought about twelve
barrels day. They would pay good
price for the water, pay the freight and
return the barrels to be filed. If the
spring would furnish more water, they
would take it all They were induced to
make this offer by lady who had been
cured Of kidney disease of long standing.
There are lots of Philadelphians that
come to the spring every week; some
take condensed water and others drink
the spring water. This lady came every
week faithfully for months and she has
been well rewarded. She was thin
and sallOw, now she is a stout, handsome
woman, then she looked like she was
about 60 die, now you would think she
has new lease Of her life; she has fine
complexion, Is the picture Of health.
She induced this firm to come and make
the offer. She would insure them Gus
toners for all the water they could get
Professor Hunt said he would consider
the offer. but Mrs. Wier said mo =

thought II was her first duty to do good
at home, and for the present she would
not bind the spring water to any one.
Just now they were too busy
later on they might consider the
offer. The gentlemen were disappointed
They said they would not give up hope.
They said they considered this spring the
most wonderful one in the United States.
for Il had all medicinal qualities, and yet
was so pleasant to the taste They have
been beset by parties asking them to get
the water to sell. Its rare purity, not
talking of its medicinal qualities, would
make It much sought after, for the

HARVARD DEFENDS HERSELF.
She Tells the Reasons Of Her Withdraw
al from The Leagne.


BosToN, Dec. 20-The Harvard athletic
committee publish over their own names an
elaborate reply 20 the statement made pub
lie by Princeton few days ago rejecting
on the Harvard management The chief
points are that several men wero brought
back TO Princeton expressly to play football,
while all doubtful cases were excluded at
Harvard. Wagenhurst Ames and George,
of Princeton, are declared to be technically
professionals and Ineligible for college
teams; Wngenhurst for his known connec-
ton with the New Yorks, Ames for receiv-
ing money and George for teaching athletics.
They say after examining all tho evidence
they have found no trace OF any offer OF
money to any candidate for the team this
year by any Harvard man and they pub
lish signed statements from al the individ-
uals affected denying the receipt Of money
On the other hand they publish two offers
Of board, tuition, ETC., made by Ames to
prominent Harvard players.
II appears that zimmerman, who made
sweeping statements about an otferof money
and a scholarship ia the law school, has do
clined 70 give further information sub
stantiating his previous statements. One
man says he wants to get on tho Harvard
team. but they don't want 10 do much for
me- The committee declare the withdrawal
from the league justihable, because the
attempts Of the Harvard men 20 break up
the irregular practice were unsuccessful
With the aid Of Yale new rule was
adopted SO as to shut out professionals but
Princeton took advantage OF technicality
and Ames refused to answer questions, and
Princeton. with the assistance OF smaller
colleges, outyoted Yale and Harvard Find
ing it impossible TO stop such practices in
the league Harvard withdrew.
The athletic organizations have now
adopted a stringent set Of rules intended TO
exclude all students who come only Co take
part in games and all who have received
money for sports These rules will govern
Haryards athletics henceforth, and must be
the basis OF any league which Harvard may
enter.
Prominent athletic and other students say
theletter Of the committee, which is fortified
by the publication Of all the evidence, ex-
presses the sentiment OF the college, and they
consider it a strong presentation Of their
