SACKS OF MONEY.
Three Train Robbers Hold Up the
Ogden Overland and Secure
Large Amount.

Sacramento, Oct. 12.-The Ogden Over
land was robbed last night seven miles
beyond Davisville by three masked men
in very daring manner. -Four sacks of
coin were secured from the express car
and the messenger Jack Paige barely
escaped with his life. The loss amounts
to about $1,000. Engineer Bill Scott and
the fireman were forced at the muzzle of
rifles to carry the coin sacks from the
express car to the engine. Then the rob-
bers uncoupled the engine and rode off
with their booty toward Sacramento.
Before leaving the engine they reversed
the lever. Luckily the steam was low
and when the engine came into contact
with the forward mail car little damage
was done.
Later.-As far as can be learned more
than 300 pounds of coin we're taken. If
all the coins were silver, it would be
about $4,000; if all gold, about $75,000.
1t is believed that one sack weighing 100
pounds carried by the engineer was filed
with gold; if so, it contained $25,0O0.

By actual calculation and measurement
by two ditch builders the cost, without

about 26 cents per running yard. 1t

There is no reason why bitches should
