Pixley, masked and armed. Let me re-
mark, that down in that country people
don't masquerade just for fun. 1t is al
together too dangerous. The Wells
Fargo people and our detectives know
who are doing this business, l am in
formed, and / think know, too. It's a
question of catching some Of them dead
to rights, that's ALL"
| A Wells Fargo man who has seen SER
vice Old the southern run said: "The
boys are looking sharp for robbers down
that way. | am no prophet if there is
not another big hold-up before New
Years. think the Pixley affair was a
sure enough attempt to hold up, and
that only a trifing circumstance pre-
vented it. That's just the way they do
it. The robbers hide just outside sta
ton, get aboard while the train is pull
ing out, and then things are all their
way"
TIM MUST GO.
The Examiner calls attention to an
advertisement in New York paper,
calling for applicants for an Office rail
road treasurer, and says:
Such an advertisement had never be-
fore appeared. big Office, usual y
filled by one of the directory of cor
poration, never before had sought by
advertisement for man to occupy it.
The man may have been found, but if
30 his name has not yet been given out.
Meantime the Office is filled by the same
man who has occupied it for many
years, and the Office and the man who
fills it are known.
Il. Z. Olcott is a partner OF Still man
& Hubbard, the celebrated New York
firm of which Edward F. Searles be-
came member under conditions that
he failed to remember when answering
Mr.. Burley's questions in the Salem
court that heard the opening skirmish
for Mrs. Hopkins Searles' millions.
Stillman & Hubbard vote the stock in
the Southern Pacific company owned by
the late Mrs. Mary Frances Sherwood
Hopkins-Seares.
Coils P. Huntington, president of the
Southern Pacific company, said not long
ago, Timothy is nice boy, but he
hardly earns the salary of treasurer of
the Southern Pacific company"
The position to be filed is treasurer
OF the Southern Pacific company of
Kentucky.
The present treasurer of the Southern
Pacific company of Kentucky is Timothy
Hopkins. Mr.. Huntington and Mr..
Searles between them hold sufficient
stock to throw Mr.. Hopkins out of
work as treasurer, and evidently mean
to do it.
THE REDLANDS ROAD.
For long time past rumors and re-
ports have been flying about relative to
the building of the Southern Pacific
railroad into Re6lands, says the San
Bernardino Courier, and of late the re-
ports have not been without foundation,
for men and teams have actually been
at work for about two weeks grading q
railroad from Nahant to the eastward.
This branch will leave the main line
at Nahant, and is at present graded as
far as the corner near Mr.. Curtis place
in Old San Bernardino, where the motor
road makes its last turn before leaving
Redlands.
Quite a force of men and teams are
now at work between this point and
Redlands, and are fast changing the ap-
pearance OF that part OF the country.
The veteran engineer, Mr.. Lomis
Tsheira, who is the assistant chief en-
gineer of the Southern Pacific company,
has charge of the work, in which he is
ably assisted by Engineer McCloud.
The graders are now at work about
mile and half from Nahant, and are
throwing the dirt into shape very fact.
Messrs. Bright &, Crandall, who are do
ing the grading, are not the ones to let
the grass grow under their feet, and un-
less some unforeseen accident should oc-
cur to very materially hinder the work,
the 1st OF January will see Southern Pa
ciic trains running into Redlands. The
road will be built as far as Mentone at
present, and the future advancement
will somewhat depend on the patronage
the company receives in the present
venture. Track-laying will be COM
menced in about three weeks, and where
the new road takes the same lire as the
motor track, east OF the Curtis corner,
new ties will be put in and heavier
rails, so as to accommodate both trains.
That Redlands will be benefited by
the advent of the Southern Pacific is
beyond question, and if she does not
now continue her astonishing growth it
will certainly not be on account, of linn
tied railroad facilities.
NOTES.
Westbound traffic is twice as large as it
ever was before.
The electric street railways in Oakland
and San Diego are nearing completion.
FL. H. Gregory, the able assistant gen.
eral passenger agent Of the Southern
California railroad, has returned from a
trip to the east.
The Examiner of Tuesday prints the
following dispatch from Santa Ana: The
Santa Ana and Westminster railroad, in
connection with the Santa Ana and
Newport railroad, has finished it's line to
the heart of the city, and commenced
delivering freight at the new grounds TO-
day.
The Southern Pacific company filed
the preliminary papers in suit to con-
denim strip OF land at Santa Monica.
The defendants are Mrs. Arcadia de B.
Baker and others, and the land sued for
is along the bluff from the present ter
minus of the road to the caiIon, upon
which the company proposes to build
it's line, as has been heretofore stated in
these columns.
