HOW BOGARD WAS KILLED.
The Crime for Which Brady Must Spend
His Life In Prison.

The Oregon express train, known on the
railroad timetable as 15, was held up by
two masked men just after leaving Wheat
land, early in the morning of March 80
last. That the plans of the robbers did not
meet with success throughout was due to
the pluck and nerve of John. Bogard the
Sheriff of Tehama County, who gave his
life in a manly effort to thwart them.
Added to the boldness, the fact that the
two highwaymen rode to the scene of the
robbery on bicycles gave the affair wide
spread notoriety. The story of the hold-up,
the killing of one of the robbers and the
death of Sheriff Bogard is Lest told in the
account given by Engineer Bowser of Is
Immediately after the tragedy.
"It was when we were about half mile
this side Of Wheatland," said Mr.. Bowser,

ST. PAUL, MINI. Nov. 19.-Six men

Jail at st. Cloud. The robbers got no booty
whatever, but they stopped the train and
attempted to shoot part of the crew and
passengers, and if convicted, will be sent
to prison for from ten to twenty years.
There is some doubt as to the number of
robbers. The engineer claims to have seen
five. The fireman puts the number at
four, while the express man saw only the
Two who came into his car. The conductor
saw three, and other accounts put the
number as high as ten. The robbers were
evidently green hands, or they would

The small robber, who seemed to be quite
nervous and ashamed of himself, then
entered the express-car, while we all stood
outside, covered by the tall man. After
the express-car had been looted a tour of
the passenger coach was made; the small
man searched the passengers and dropped
their coin and valuables into the sack they

The Fortune of a Mechanic.

AMESBURY, MASS, Nov. 10. - John

stances. A trunk in his room was opened
yesterday and securities, mortgages and
bankbooks were found, showing that his
aggregate wealth was $4,000. He was SO
years old and a native of Ireland. He had
no wife or children living. Four sisters,
however, survive him, one being Mrs.
Robert Barrett of this town. Another is
in Ireland, another in California, and one

CRUDE NAPHTHA BURNED.
The Fire Caused by an Explosion In
Biz Tank,

Bf1 TANK.
WHITING, IND, Nov. 19.-Thirty thou.
sand barrels of crude naphtha were burned
at the Standard Oil Company's works in a
fire caused by an explosion of the accumu-
lated gases in the big tank. The explo-
sion occurred at 10:15 o'clock last night.
and up to this morning three of the men
seen near the tanks few minutes before
the tops blew off have not been found.
Three pumps were attached to the tank
at midnight and every inch of hose owned
by the company was put into play. In
this way the fire was confined to one tank
and the loss of hundreds of thousands of
dollars worth of oil was averted. AS it is,
the loss will reach nearly $4,000.
At l o'clock this morning the flames
could be seen as far away as Hammond
and the fire seemed to be growing fercer
every minute. The firemen ceased their
efforts to check the flames and will let the
tank ourn itself out.

WASHINGTON, Nov. I4.-Hawaii may
after all become part of the United

year. Information of a trustworthy
nature has been secured concerning
the Hawaiian program to be adopted
by the friends of annexation during
the coming winter. The joint resolu-

ment is clear. They must formally
undertake the duties of a protection
power, or, better still, annex these ter
ritories altogether. England, the

iecsion to either solution of existing
difficulties.
