dreds Yesterday.
Nobody Could Positively Identify
Him.
Two Men Who Say They Were Forced
to Assist The Bandits
Tho Officers Find a Quantity Of Giant Powder
Ready for Use, Also One Of the
Train Robbers Masks.

AS stated in yesterday mornings
who tried to hold up the East-bound
overland train on Saturday night and
was shot by Martin ]. Ingles, the en-
gineer, was brought to this city about 2
a. m. yesterday and taken to the Re
ceivtng Hospital
Nobody was found at that time who
could identify it, and it was subsequent
ly taken to the Morgue to await the
orders Of the Coroner of Yolo County,
the shooting having taken place in his
jurisdiction. During the morning and
afternoon it was seen by hundreds OF
persons, who were either impelled by
curiosity or an idea that they might
be able to Identify him as some one
they had known. A steady stream
passed into the room, around the body
and out at the door again, but very few
were found to say that they thought
they had known him, although some
thought they had seen him around the
city.
Three young men from near WILLOWS
thought at first that it was Eugene
English, a brother to Buck" English
who some years ago stood up a stage
in Berryessa Valley and sent to States
Prison for 1t. After a second careful
examination Of his features, however,
they agreed that it was not English,
but a man whom they had frequently
seen in Willows, Woodland and other
places, and who followed the race cir
cult.
Soon afterwards a man named James
Davis, who is employed in q warehouse
on the river front, came in and identified
Ivh "a known for
about two years and with whom he
had been associated considerably for
the past six months.
I'm fact" said he, that was my hat
that was on his head, as he and traded
hats. I do not know what his name Is,
as never knew him by any other name
than Jim. He never told me his other
name. Those Eastern fellows are al
ways close-mouthed and do not talk
much about themselves. He was sort
OF sport. He rode Victor bicycle and
roomed at the Albion House. He offered
to sell me the bicycle several times, but
I did not want 1t. He was a pretty
smart fellow. That is about all know
about him
SAID HIS NAME WAS MORGAN.
o. M Downer Of Fair Oaks, who is a
contractor for boring wells and putting
up windmills, viewed the body and
thinks 1t that of man who came to
him early in the week and asked for
work in putting up windmills saying
that he had been engaged some in that
work. In the course Of conversation he
stated that he had been rather wild and
had enlisted in the navy, but had de-
serted not long ago. During the con-
versation, in mentioning different firms
he spoke Of Nelson & Co., the large
hardware firm of st. Louis, and Mr..
Downer told him he knew the firm. The
fellow then told him that his name was
Morgan and that his father was man
ager Of the firm, and showed letter by
his father introducing him as his son.
But this letter Is two years DID," said
Mr. Downer.
Yes" was the reply. "the old gen.
tleman gave me that when he sent me
to Europe. ! was pretty wild there, for
I am a sort Of black sheep. and when
came back he set me at work to learn
a trade, but did not like it and jumped
the game That was when I went into
the navy"
While Mr.. Downer was not positive
that this was the same man, he thinks
that he was, and the similarity of the
