Is Sam MCGuire Who Formerly
Lived at Stockton

Detectives Hot on the Trail of the Other
Higiwayman
The Bicycles Used by the lien Were Rented In
San Francisco Where Robbers Have
Been Living

MARYSVILLE, March 81 - Sheriff
Cunningham, ex Marshal George Gard.
Detective Thacker and the other officers
who have been hunting up train robber
Mcclure, the murderer OF Sheriff Bogard
at the hold-up yesterday morning, left for
San Francisco this afternoon, having re-
ceived information that Mcclure had
passed through Sacramento.
A special train arrived today with BIZ
cycle agents from San Francisco who had
rented three bicycles to men answering
the description of the robbers. They
identified the bicy lie found near Reed sta
ton. Information has been received that
Jack Mcclure worked in livery stable
at San Francisco.
The dead robber, Sam Mcclure, whose
true name is supposed to be o. S. Brown,
formerly worked in Holt's harvester works
at Stockton. Both men have been living
at 305 Grove street, San Francisco. When
the robbers worked on ranches in this VI
cinity they always wore gloves when at
work, which accounts 1or their soft hands
The dead robber was identified by a
man who said he had frequently met Sam
Mcclure in san Francisco saloons where
he had played cards. He had also met
Jack Mcclure frequently there. The de-
tectives believe that the McGuires and
one other man left San Francisco on the
train with the bicycles; that they met
on the day of the robbery near Reed and
concealed the bicycles, and then walked
three miles to the scene OF the robbery /;
that after the robbery Jack McGuire
went through Nioclaus to Sacrame nto
the other man taking different route.
tramp who was riding a brakebeam
under the train stated that there were
four robbers. two remaining on the out
side and two entering the cars. When
the shooting commenced he thinks one OF
the men outside entered the back of the
car and shot Sheriff BogaId. The officers
have decided that there were only three
men and are positive that the McGuile
brothers are the men who attempted to
rob a train at Ben Ali station last October,
at which time the smaller man said,
Come on. Sam.
Jack Mcclure worked last summer on a
ranch at Dry creek, where some OF his
clothes were found by the officers who
are confident that the surviving Mcclure
will be found in San Francisco or Stock
ton, where he is well known.
Detectives have arrived here from
Marysville claiming to have learned that
the escaped train robber. Jack Mcclure,
had been traced to within NV miles ui
this city. 1t is claimed that he crossed
the country on his bicycle and that the
wheel was tracked in this direction, but
that Mcclure did not come into the city
SO far as is known.

took pl1ce last fall in Montana over the
proposed removal OF the state capital from
Helena to Anaconda. Floto is said to
have registered too often. He was ar
rested and put under $500 bonds. His
trial was set for March oath. the officers
say. and he was not there to appear.
Floto said he had been in Helena almost
year. Seeing an opportunity to make
some money he organized the Old Ten
nessee company ana started upon tour
with the company. He went from Butte
to Anaconda, Salt Lake and finally to
Denver. He was much surprised, appar-
emily, at being arrested. Floto has been
somewhat prominent in sporting circles
