the 4uba County tragedy, and who has
made his escape with Brady, alias Will
Jams, is known by sight by Walter G.
Haxe of 3I9 Sutter street
If Clerk Colby of the upper office at the
central police station had listened to all
of the story Mr.. Haxe wished to tell him
to-day, the army OF detectives and police
who are now securing the country in
search of one of the men who held up the
Oregon express might have more of a
cIew to this notorious third man.
All sorts of descriptions have been sent
out OF this third rObber, and yet when a
gentleman who had made the ride TO the
Ingleside with the robDer who was killed
by Sheriff Bogard, and another Dicyclist.

him in case of arrest-walked into the
office of the Chief OF Police to tell his
story, he was told, after some of his state

Walter q. HaXe, the man who has such
a queer story to tell of the bicycle
bandits. has known Browning, the man
who was killed by Sheriff B0gard. since
about the first of the year. His was
an acquaintance formed in the park.
HaXe is a young man OF means. His
physician ordered him to ride bicycle
for his health. In the park he became
acquainted with Browning and Brady,
and they frequently rode together.
On the Sunday before the murder of
Cornelius Stagg at Ingleside Browning
and Haxe, al the latter's suggestion, rode
over to Ingleside. They were ioined by
young man about % years old, whose
name Haxe does not remember. at
Ingleside they met Brady, and they were
shown over the place by Stagg. Thesu
ject of highway robbery was discussed in
a joking way, and Browning gave his
ideas OH the subject.
HaXe did not see Browning again until
two or three days after the Stagg murder.
Then browning discussed the crime
without culver. Browning was absent
from town about the time of the Lodi
train robbery. and when he returned no
told Haxe he had been to Mount Hamil-
ton.

Los ANGELES, April 2.-The Ancient

turns from the municipal election indi-
cate that the Republicans have OBJ
tanned compete victory, electing
George B. Swift, their candidate for

The proposition to put the police and
