ing, tumbling ice. The most likely avenue
of escape was already breaking up, the
margins of two foes crum bling off as they
ing upward. After standing a few mo-
ments watching this display of the mighty
forces of nature q belt eight or ten feet
wide at the margin of the moving foe
broke off and was completely overturned,
its bottom side, icy white and full of large
holes where the sea had worn it away,
resting upward. Those heavy pieces
bridged the chasm, and, though they were
still in motion and might at any moment
break into small bits Or turn with their
narrow edges upward, standing perpendic-
ular, it seemed to be our only chance.
With run and jump the shaking bridge
was crossed in few seconds, most dan
gerous crossing, Captain Petersen said,
for in case of fall the closing chasm
would imprison the legs of its victim and
crush him to death. After an hours work
and many similar experiences and escapes

SAW THE BANDITS.
Stories Concerning Movements of
Suspicious Characters.

SACRAMENTO, Oct. 12.-There are yari-
Gus rumOrs atioat of suspicious characters
having been seen. For instance, the fore
man of DR.. @. NJ. Dixon's ranch, which is
situated about four miles down the river,
on the Yolo side. came to this city to-day
with load OF hay. He said that when
passing the town of Washington he heard
of the train robbery, and was quite sure
that he saw the two men on the ranch
shortly after daybreak this morning.
At that time he was going to an alfalfa
field on the ranch TO see about some horses
that had broken into the field, and while
on the lookout for the horses he observed
two men making their way across an ad-
joining field toward the river. They acted
suspiclously. but not being aware at the
time OF the train robbery he made no effort
to stop them or ask them what they were
doing on the ranch.
After having been informed of the rob-
berry he became doubIy assured that the
men he saw were the robbers. He de.
scribed one of them as being much taller
than the other, and one was armed with n
Winchester rife. Each had vaise, which
appeared to be rather heavy.
DR.. Dixon's empioye is Trustworthy
man, and there Is no reason 10 doubt his
story. In this connection it may be men,
toned that river boatman is said to
have been spending money quite freely
along The Front-street line of saloons to-
day. ana some persons believed he had
received good fee for little boating
service.

They left their overcoats and oyeralls In

PURSUIT OF THE ROBBERS.
The Plumber Amounts to Fifty. three
thousand Dollars.


"We have absolutely no clew to the iden-
tity of the robbers who held up the train last
night near Sacramento and robbed the ex-
press.car of $50 OO0," said General Super
iniendent Fillmore OF the Southern Pacific
last night. Detectives have been sent
out and we hope 10 capture the robbers,
but there is nothing definite upon which
we can base any theories just at present.
''All of the facte, so far as we know
them, have been brought out by the dis
patches to the press Of this city. / have
no doubt, however, but what we shall
finally succeed in effeeting their capture"
The robbers are described as follows !:
One appears to be six fee. in height, weigh
ing about 200 pounds. The other was
about feet inches in height and would
weigh probably 40 pounds. Each of the
men wore linen busters and masks and
had his face whitened.
The exact amount taken is said to have
be- en- S53 0O0, all or nearly all of which
was in gold.
The Southern Pacific Company and
Wells, Fargo & Co. have offered a reward
of $500 each for the arrest and conviction
OF the robbers, and an additional reward of
%oO|N
or prOportionate amount for any sum
recovered. In all $4,000 has been offered
IN the way of rewards for the apprehen-
sion of the robbers and the recovery of the
stolen gold. g
AT the Offices Of Wells, Fargo & Co. little
could be cleaned concerning the robbery
except that detectives of that company and
from the Southern Pacific had been sent
out.
Whether the robbers were connected
with the two hold-ups at Roscoe. which
took place within the last year, seems a
problematic question. One of the detec-
tive agencies in this city has been engaged
on the case, which seems to indicate a be-
lief that the robbers may come TO San
Francisco with their booty instead of TAX
ing to the hills or striving to make their
way East.
The place where the robbery occurred is
very near the spot where the engine went
through the trestle last July during the
strike. killing Engineer Sam Clarke and
several United States soldiers.
