AN IMPROMPTU FIREMAN.

When Engineer Ingles started up his
train his fireman was back In the
hands of the robbers. but he was not
left without assistance. One Of the col
ored walters In the dining-car had gone
forward to the engine to see Ingles,
with whom he was acquainted, and re-
mained there. When Ingles started the
engine after shooting the robber, he
needed a fireman and the waiter pulled
of his coat and shoveled coal until they
came flying into Sacramento.
FOR IDENTIFICATION.
While the dead man was lying at the
Morgue yesterday, H. s. Beals took an
excellent photograph Of him, which will
preserve his features for future identi-
hcation If 1t becomes necessary at some
future time.
EGAN TURNED LOOSE.
1t was stated late last night that Sher-
iff Johnson had become satisfied that
Egan, the tramp arrested by him and
his posse, was not connected with the
robbery, and that he had therefore
turned him loose.
CONTENTS OF THE BOOK.
In the little memorandum book found
IN the dead robbers pocket were a num-
Der of entries that may serve a good
purpose perhaps in securing his identi-
fication. They are as follows:
* yellow card printed on one side,
with ship, "Henry's Place, Saloon, 3O7
East street, San Francisco" On the
ether side, in writing, are these words,
Z. j. Morgan. one typewriter, Yost No.
2, Pd. $25."
o3r1y,,
white pages, with a short pencil i'll
socket, are these words on several
pages in the order given below, and in
the same handwriting as that on the
back OF the card. One page reads
May II, '96, one typewriter $25. the
new Yost, No. 2, 10,975 No. F. J. NJ"
On another page are these words, in
this order: Gray & Co, Plating
Works, Dept 16, Columbus, O."
On another page appears: June 26,
70, Mordgour-112, Kearry-11 1-3."
On another page: FEB. 10, '96 One
suit of clothing, pd. S14 so"
on another page, in the same hand
writing, are notes of the best railway
and best bicycle time ever made, with
the words: 10 miles an hour is good
gate on a rough road
On another page is the date Of April,
90" Then follows a list of dates and
the words, Work on elec. line,
SIT %. May g. 90"
On another page, with a lot of memo
randa as to dates, are the words,
Work for 9. H. Coomes, S24"
Then follows a bill account Of clothing,
amounting to So 90, and showing that
he had left, Total, $40 90"
The officers are anxious to know who
c. H. Coomes is, for whom the work
was done.
On another page Is this memoranda,
under date Of July 6. 1896, are the fig
ures S21 and $50 added up. making $41,
and signed IF. j. NJ"
On another page are these words,
which may lead to the identification Of
the man: -, Merced, Sat IS, '96;
J., Stockton, 20, '96; - Wednesday,
p, SO"
This is all there is in the book that
could possibly lead up to Identification,
and it is hoped that all who have any
knowledge of any matters in such mem
orandum will make 1t known.
1t would be especially valuable to
know on what electrical line" any man
worked In April and May last, and on or
about the Sd of May was paid the exact
sum Of S17 %. There are electrical
lines running from Fresno and Sacra-
mento only, and electric lines from
steam stations in cities in many other
places. Electrical line" would seem to
indicate other than a line within a city
wholly.
