DETAILS OF THE CRIME.
As Usual, the Train Hands Are Com
PEELED to Do the Bidding of the
Robbers.

: PORTLAND, Or, July 2.-Oregon ex-
press No. 15 was held up in Cow Creek
Canyon, thirty miles from Roseburg, last
night, and arrived here to-day FIVE hours
late. The passengers had scarcely recov-
cred from the fright and many were with
out "a cent, the robbers having taken every
thing The only ones who escaped were
the women, whose money and jewelry
were not. disturbed. The engine of the
train was disabled by. the explosions of
dynamite, which was freely used by the
robbers to intimidate the passengers.
A detailed statement of the losses of the
passengers, furnished by Superintendent
Fields of the Southern Pacific, shows that
the personal losses aggregate $500. The
largest personal loss is that of Philadel-
phian,. who gave UP $500. When asked for
his name he refused to give it, but said,
PUT itdown to poker" Among the list
of:valuables were only a few, gold watches
and revolver. The total booty, -includ-
ing the registered mail, is reckoned by the
railway officials at about $4,000, but it is be-
lieyed the loss will prove greater.

FRESNO, CAL, July 2-The officers of
MADEIRA; Fresno and Tulare counties who
have been hunting Cliff Regan, the outlaw
and horsethief, for many: months, have
received reliable information that he is
now:making his headquarters on the upper.
San Joaquin on Pine Ridge. For a long
time the outlaw has been stealing: horses
and cattle from ranehers on this side of
the ;Nexadas, but owing to the dread in.
which he has been held no one has dared
give the pursuing officers any clews. i, !,
f. Three years ago Regan was subpenaed
to appear as a witness against Jim 2 Law
son, the @outlaw,.the on trial at MADEIRA.
He: failed: to appear; and when the officers
went tot;.arrest him he: fed to the noun

life of an OUTLAW. There are: three men

known Ito. be wanted on the: coast for"
murder: '.-.= e.
The four desperadoes have become very
bold. recently: and their latest theft is:
likely; TO bring ON another determined
chase by the Officers. The men: descended
upon ranch belonging to: Constable In

head of cattle: This has aroused every
officer in the three counties, especially as
it has at last been discovered where Regan
and his companions make their: camp.
Among the officers who. have joined the,
hint is Hi. :Rapelje, the man who shot
John Sontag, the famous train-robber:
Several. other noted man-hunters are pre-
pairing to go back into the mountains. -
There.is a heavy reward for the capture
of the Mexican wanted for murder, but: he
is known to be a dangerous man and a
lively fight is sexpected. Regain has twice:

extremely desperate man. = He: knows,

In the Pullman the robber stopped at the
berths and asked, Lady or gent?' Two
men on the. outside: of the cars kept the
heads of the excited passengers in by COW
ering every one who looked out. -.
As they passed along they. exploded
sticks of dynamite under the cars and at
each platform, which kept the people
thoroughly under control. 1t seemed that
the cars would be thrown off the track by
the explosions. !.
The express-car. which was next to the
engine, was in charge of Messenger R. M.
Donahue, who had time to secret packages
in the local box. When the large safe con-
tanning the through express money pack
ages was opened upon the arrival of the
train here it was found to. contain one
small package of money. Donahue hid
the money packages under a, box of goods
at the other end of the car. They threat
ened to blow the messenger to pieces with
dynamite, and when the highwayman en-
tered the express-car the fireman, engineer
and messenger were all under cover.
Donahue said, in telling the story: "He
told me to open the local express box, at
the same time saying that if refused he
would blow my - head off,. When
the fellow saw that there was nothing in
side he was disgusted. Then he told me
to work the combination of the, big safe
which contained the through express
money. / said that. / could not do it as 1

hand, proceeded to make systematic
search of the mail-pouches containing che
registered mail. 1t took them but few
moments get through with that. After
leaving the mailcar they proceeded to hold
up the passengers. Each passenger was
compelled to give up all the valuables that
he had.
No opposition was made to the bandits
by trafnmen or passengers, and after they
had completed their work they disap-
peared in the neighboring brush. -

is every indication that the men engaged
in it were old hands. They went about
everything coolly and did not seem to be
afraid of being disturbed. Sheriffs OF two

There is one right which in the
Christian life towers above all others
it is the right to surrender all
rights for the sake of ones fellow
men. This was the mind that was
in Christ Jesus, who possessing all
the inalienable of Godhead, emptied
himself and became of no reputation
for us. This is the mind that was
in the Apostle Paul also, when he
said IF meat make my brother to
offend / will eat DO meat while the
world standethi" Never was a

What Jewellers Know

The fact that twelve of the
largest dry goods stores in New
York have been indicted for sell

whom to purchase reliable pro-
auctions; they know the latest
