SEARCHING FOR CLEWS.
Detectives at WOTk Near The Scene Of The
Railroad accident.

CoLFAx, Oct. 15.--Nothing of great i'm
portance has yet developed in regard to the
train-robbers. Railroad Detective Ben
True and bis gang are searching the can
yons Of Bear and American rivers. Con-
stable Dyer of Colfax and Sheriff COnrOy OF
Auburn with an armed Tosse are securing
the woods and canyons to the west Of the
town.
Railroad Detective Burke left this place
for Sacramento at o'clock this evening.
The officers think they will be able t. locate
where the crow bar found near the wreck,
and supposed to be the ore used by the
wreckers, came from. They have no def
mite cleW to work on, but are searching for
and investigating into the particulars re-
gardlng all strangers that have been seen
in the neighborhood before and since the
wreck.
In conversation with reporter tonight
one Of the detectives said: AT first did not
think it vas the work If traiu-robhers, Lut
since investigating l have every reason to
believe it was. | know things which | do
not desire to tell. 1t is my opinion that the
only reason the train was not totally
wrecked is because the robbers did not have
time to take the rail completely out. They
picked out bad spct for the deed, because
il the whole train had gone over there
would have been fire and the contents
would have been burned, leaving them
nothing for their trouble"

"Bandaged are the peace makers" sighed
Robert Trcmain, as he limped painfully out
of the Receiving Hospital last night
Robert is a teamster living at 1913 Vallejo
street. Early last evening three bulldogs
engaged in a controversy inf front Of the
Golden Gate Market on Sacramento street
One of the dogs belonged to Robert, and
realizing that his pet was getting the worst
OF 1t, Mr.. Tremain entered the melee as
mediator, using a pick-hRndle by way OF
argument. He soon succeeded in distract
ing the attention of the brutes from each
other, but the trouble did not end here, and
the dogs started into the piece making bust
ness on their own hook. The trio turned on
the peace-maker, aud each selecting gem
erous mouLhful, they started in TO eat what
they could of Mr.. Tremain in the limited
time at their disposal.
Twill some of you bystanders please save
me from becoming dog meatP" asked Mr..
Tremain, with pleading look in his mild,
blue eyes.
Three stout men each grabbed dog by
the tail and soon broke UP the banquet, leav-
Ing Mr.. Iremain to make the after-dinner
remarks at the hospital while the bastng
stitches were being put in. He said he
always did hate TO feel himself to dogs, be-
cause il takes too long TO build up again.
The rlsht forearm was torn in two places,
one cash being over an inch long, and The
calves of his legs were gnawed in several
places, None of the wounds are serious.
