Tie Oregon Express Train Held
Up by Daring Robbers
WORK OF A BRAVE SHERIFF
One of the Bandits and the Officer Are
Killed Outright
Nothing Was Secured in the Express Car,
and the Passengers Were Being
Robbed During the Shooting

SACRAMENTO, Cal, March 30.-The
north bound Oregon express was held up
by two men thee or four miles north OF
wheatland about O. clock this morning.
Engineer Bowsher was compelled to stop
the tran.and go back and open the ex-
press car. Failing to secure anything in
the ex press car, the robbers went back
and started to rob the passengers in the
coach and smoker.
Sheriff Bogard of Tehama county was
on the train and opened fire on the rob
bers in the smoker, killing one of them,
and was killed himself by the other rob-
ber.
The fireman was shot in the neck and
one leg, and it is thought that he is seri-
ously injured. A passenger named Samp-
son of Redding was struck on the head
and cut. Several passengers were robbed.
The dead bodies were turned over to the
coroner at Marysville. The dead robber
has not been identified. and no accurate
description of the man who escaped has
been secured.

STORY AT WHEATLAND
The Crime Was One of the Boldest in the
History of the State


WHEATLAND, CAL, March 30.-Th e
boldest robbery in the history of Yuba
county occurred two and half miles
north of Wheatland at about 20 this
morning. The nofth-bound Oregon ex-
press was boarded at Wheatland by two
bandits, who soon covered Engineer
Bowser and Fireman Hood. and forced
them to stop the train and lead the way
through kelton's express car They Sc
cured nothing in the express catr, and
made Kelton join them as they proceeded
to go through the coaches to rob the pas
sengers. Plucky Sheriff Bogard of Tehama
county was one of the passengers, and he
was quick to leave his sleeper to meet the
robbers. He shot and killed one of the
robbers but was himself shot down and
killed
A general fusillade was now begun, in
which Fireman Hood was shot three or
four times, but not fatally. The second
robber escaped amidst the volley of shots,
leaving what booty he had secured be-
hind. The names of the robbers are un-
known, but they are supposed to be the
bicycle riders seen about Wheatland the
day before, and are old hands at the bust
ness. The one killed was tall and weighed
about 1876 pounds. had on new overalls, a
sweater and jumper, was full-faced. dark
hat and black mustache. Local officers
found the hat at the scene of the robbery.
The escape passed in Marysville as A.
Johnson; he is five feet seven inches,
straight. swagger walk and light mustache.
Officers and railroad detectives are now on

Treasury Receipts for March.
Short Expenditures
WAITING FOR INCOME TAX
A Favorable Decision Will Make Plain
Sailing
Comparative Estimates Of the Rise and Fall
Of Treasury Receipts During Several
Years

WASHINGTON, March, 30.-Contrary
to expectations of the officials of the
treasury, receipts for the month OF March
The amount, however, is only about
1924, 900. The excess of expenditures for
the nine months of the present fiscal
year are 1885, 500, 900, and this amount will
almost certainly be increased by 5000
900 or more during April, which will
leave deficit of about S42, ,OC0,0O0 ON May
l. During May and June, however, great
things are expected from the income tax,
but the most conservative estimates
now place the deficit for the fiscal
year at 25,OOO. 900. The outlook
for heavy receipts from the two great
sources OF income, customs and internal
revenue, are not encouraging. particularly
from the latter. During the month OF
August, 1894, the internal revenue re-
ceipts. in anticipation of the increased
duty, ran up to $27. .562, 900, but not since
that time have they reached much more
than third OF that amount. In Sep
tember they scarce Y exceeded $1,000, 900,
and since then they have been slowly in
creased until the present moment, when
they amount to over 50, 800, 900. This
however is far below the expectations OF
the officials.
The rec ii to from customs during the
past twelve months have shown an un-
even, but on the whole, fair increase.
During July, 1894, they reached the fig
ure of S., 427, 900, but during August they
increased to nearly S12, 900, 900, and dur
ing September to about $15, 564. 800. The
three succeeding months showed a falling
from S4, 000,000 to over $1,000, 900. In
1885, however, they recovered to over
$l7, 900. 600, and then again there was a
decline to $l3, 300, ,000 and then increased
during the present month to nearly $15,-
600, 600
Only twice, however, since May, 1894,
have the receipts from all sources equaled
the expenditures. In June, 1894. there
was slight excess, and during August
the excess reached 50, 000, 200. The re-
ceipts during that month were about nor
NAL, owing, as stated, to the increasing
tax on spirits.
All things considered, much depends
upon the decision of the Supreme Court
on the question of the validity of the in
come tax. Should the law be held good,
as seems altogether probable, the treasury
officials look for fair sailing from this
time on. but should the law be declared
unconstitutional, an extra session of Con-
gress would be called TO provide for rev.
enues sufficient to meet the needs of the
government

AFTER A SECURITY COMPANY
The National Of Kansas City In Trouble With

California Laws
SAN FRANCISCO, March 30.--Insur-
ance Commissioner Higgins has been rec
commended by Attorney General W. f.
Fitzgerald to withdraw the California GER
tificate of the National Surety Company
of Kansas:City and Philadelphia. Though
the recommendation amounts to a COM

of the following well known gentlemen: :
Philip n. Lilienthal. Percy T. Morgan,
w. F. Goad, II. Il. Huntington and A.
Cheesebrough, while the attorneys are
Thomas & Gregory and Gerste & Sloss.
The company has been doing tre-
mendous business on this Coast. and
though it carries insurance in the shape
of fidelity and guarantee bonds amount
ing to millions, its available assets for
California amount TO at most $40, 900.
The company has paid up capital of
$3.50. 600 and is organized under the laws
of the State of Missouri, which require
$500, 900 of the capital to be deposited with
the insurance commissioner there for
the benefit Of the Missouri creditors Of
the company. OF the remaining $50. 900,
states, the company has already dc.
posted $50, 00o with the insurance COM
missioner Of the State OF Pennsylvania.
With only $50, 900 unimpaired capital,
the company has come into the State OF
California, Established offices, engaged
agents, etc., and has been issuing bone 8

OF this state provide that for an insurance

A BRAVE SHERIFF
He Faces the Robbers Only to Meet With
His Death

IsS Dtdtu
MARYSVILLE, March 30.-The colored
porter in the tourist sleeper, just beyond
the day coach, became aware that rob-
berry was in progress, and knowing that
Sheriff Bogard was in his berth, called
him. That heroic man was in his shoes
and trousers in minute, and armed with
his heavy revolver started for the door to
the north. He crossed the platform be-
tween the sleeper and day COACH and as he
entered the latter at the south door the
robbers came in at the north. The sheriff
stepped to one side, aimed and fired. His
bullet dropped the man nearest him, but
the second failed to reach its target One
Of the robbers must have seen Sheriff Bo
gard enter, and on doing so Jumped down,
and, running along the side OF the car. en-
tered and shot him from the rear. This
deduction is made from the location of
the fatal wound, which was in the main
artery in the back, just below the kidneys.
Whvn the robber was shot he exclaimed: {:
II am done for!' The other man asked !:
care YOU killed. Bill?' and thereupon
thoroughly frightened train men not to
attempt to follow. The passengers were
all thoroughly aroused by this time and
there were a number who wanted to go
on and others who wanted to go back.

was notified of the presence of the two
bodies at about 3 O'Clock, but it was

Sheriff Inflow and Marshal Maben. They
left at once for the scene OF the robbery.
The robber has been identified by
Charles Becker, night clerk at the United
States hotel and by John ]. Daley, who
occupies the same position at the Golden
Eagle hotel. Becker informed an Appeal
reporter that two strangers arrived at the
United States hotel soon after the depart
ure OF the Oregon express Monday morn

who slept at the Golden Eagle hotel on

o'clock Wednesday morning, he stated he

THE HOLD UP
One Of the Bandits Shot Down by Officers on
the Train

.--O~
the Train
MARYSVILLE, March 30.-The north
bound express train was held up at a
point hundred yards or more below the
crossing at Needs Station, several miles
saouth of this city, at about / :45 this
morning. The results are: Dead-James
J. Bogard the well-known and efficient
sheriff OF Tehama county, who was pas
senger on the train. bound for home, and
occupying berth in the tourist sleeping
car; a ro6ber of six feet in height, weigh
ing about 200 pounds, attired in tull
and complete bicycle suit, over which he
had a pair of slip overalls, and in which
there we're two improved pockets made OF
twilling to hold the pistols, two of which
were found on him. The dead robber is
known in this city having been served
with meals at the Empire restaurant on
several occasions within the last two
weeks. Fireman A. Nethercott was ser
ously and possibly fatally wounded, hav-
ing received two wounds in different
parts of the body.
The train was on time leaving Sacra-
mento, but had a hot box a few miles
this side. and was delayed over an hour.
This hour was not made up in the run
from there to Wheatland. The first init
nation the engineer and fireman had of
the presence of robbers was when at the
place mentioned one climbed over from
the Blind baggage and commanded, at
the point OF pi. tol, that the train be
stopped. This was so earnest that the
brakes were applied. When the stop was
made they were commanded to move
about 100 feet further, which they did.
The robber then caused them to jump
from the train, and, with others who ap-
peared to come from hiding place in the
roadway, they caused them to request that
the express car be opened. This was done
but the robbers could find nothing of
value, as the safe combination was not
in the hands of the messenger. The rob-
bers commanded the two railroad men to
get into the cars.
The robbers had the leg of an old pair
of overalls tied at one end, and as they
went through the first car, the smoker,
made the passengers who were few in
number, put their coin and valuables in
it. The fireman was custodian and
guarded behind.

At the time according to Gus Bilhartz,
