you see is very thick. White followed

their masks after leaving Morebeck's

More Details of the ShingIe Springs
Express-0Aice Robbery.
Agent Morebeck Tells How He Was
Forced to Open the Safe-Not
Captured Yet.

The report published in yesterdays
RECoRD-UNIoN of the daring robbery of
Wells, Fargo q Co.'s Office at Shingle
Springs, on the line of the Sacramento
and Placerville branch railroad, caused
quite sensation and revived the stories
of exploits of Joaquin Murietta, Tom
Bell, Thorne and others, who in their
time earned regulations as ''terrors'' to
the various communities they preyed
upon.
The robbery at Shingle Springs was as
bold one as has been committed in
years, taking place as it did in broad day
light and at a time when it would seem
suicidal to attempt such an act.
TALK WITH MoREBECK.
A RECeRD-UNIoN reporter went to
Shingle Springs yesterday in company
with Detective Ben True of the railroad
company, and had talk with T. G.
Morebeck, the express company's agent,
who was "held up" by the outlaws.
Morebeck's Office is situated in the freight
shed, in the center of the little town.
Within sixty feet of the place are several
stores, saloons and residences. Section
men and freight-handlers are usually
about the place, but the robbers must
have watched for their opportunity, as
none of these persons were about at the
time the deed was committed.
II was sitting at my desk making out
some way bills" said Agent Morebeck,
when the robbers entered. / heard foot
steps, but paid no attention, being busy,
until l heard someone say, Throw up
your hands, / looked up and saw two
masked men. Each of them held two
long Colts revolvers pointed at me. Both

suits and wore brown slouch hats. L
thought it was joke, and said. 'you are
fooling, aren't your but put up my
hands just the same. With that the
taller one came in behind the counter
and struck me on the back of the head. 1
don't know whether he struck me with
his fist or with a pistol. The blow was
not very hard one, but it was enough to
knock me down. Then 1 was scared.
FORCED TO OPEN THE SAFE.
"When / got up;" continued More
beck, .'the man who had struck me, said
Now, d you, get out your keys and
open that safe.' I told him there was
nothing in the safe, but he replied that he
would see about that and, thrusting a
pistol against my face, ordered me again
to open the safe. There was nothing else
safe in coin, but | had several hundreds
of dollars in packages in my pockets
When l opened the safe, the robber who
had done all the talking told me to take
out the bag of money there, and also a
watch and chain which was in another
package. L obeyed, but he never thought
to search me, else he would have made
good haul. He handed the sack and
watch to his companion. The latter left
the place quickly, and the tall man backed
slowly out of the place, keeping me COW
cred all the time, and threatening to
shoot me. When he reached the outside
door he ran out, and l followed him.
