The morning call., 1895-03-04

nigh, carrying the news that the train-rob-
bers had entered Scheld's Brewery, robbed
the till. held up the customers, and then
fed in the direction of the upper Stockton
road on a full gallop. Sheriff Cunning
ham of Stockton, who is in town working
on the train robbery, was notified, and now
is speeding after the fugitives. Cunning
ham has earned great reputation as a
thief taker.
The robbery tonight was effected with
peculiar boldness. L. D. Windmiller, the
barkeeper at the brewery, which is situated
at Twenty-eighth and M streets, on the
eastern boundaries of the city, was playing
cards with Henry Dean, George Lemaister
and Charles Nelson
About 1O:30 o'clock they heardga cart
drive up. Then two men of medium
height, dressed exactly as were the train
robbers-in long busters and with black
cloth masks-stepped into the room.
"Don't move or you are dead men" was
their orders. Then one advanced to the
till, while the other held the men 1T the
table under cover. The victims did not
move, but big dog started for the in
truders.
The man with the gun ordere5 "Hold
back that dog or I'l shoot" The Clog
was seized and quieted. The robbers
at the till got $13. Then he ap-
preached the table and made the
men stand up, when he went through
their pockets Que by one, carefully slap
ping the outsides to see that nothing was
overlooked From Dean the searcher took
81. Lemaister lost So. Windmiller, the
barkeeper, had only S5 cents, while Nelson
lost only rule.
AS soon as the men had accomplished
the object of their visit they backed toward
the door, still keeping their revolvers
ready for use. Then, with a warning
against pursuit, they jumped into
a cart that was standing outside
and started on furious gallof in the
direction of the upper Stockton Il I'd. AS
soon as he recovered from his fright
Windmiller ran to the telephone and
called up the police station. Sheriff John
son was informed at once, and started
Cunningham in pursuit.
The last information received of the rob-
bers was at the City and County Hospital.
They had been observed passing there,
still lashing their horse, which was going
at a furious gallop.
They had in lead second horse. 1t is
supposed they will put their second ami
NAL in the harness when the first becomes
exhausted, and thus escape the officers,
who have no relays.
The deed is one of peculiar boldness, as
only block away is the carhouse of the
electric street-railway company in which
was twenty men. No one outside of the
saloon was alarmed. The men approached
quietly and left in very short order.
1t is supposed that they came to Sacra-
mento this morning and remained in con-
cealment till after dark Then stealing a
cart and the two horses they started down
the Stockton road, stopping to replenish
their treasury at the brewery.
This, it is argued, signifies their ac-
quaintance with the city and its ways, as
Scheld's place was robbed III almost ex-
actly tho same way some Li&uehs ago.
Sheriff Johnson states that he has
no doubts concerning the identity of
the men in connection with the descrip-
ton given of the train-robbers, as they
tally exactly.
The men are of the same height-5 feet
10 inches-and slim build. They are evi-
IDENTIFY old hands at the business, although
one man gave plain signs of nervousness
