of the San Luis Obispo yards which
was boarded by Sheriff WINS of San
Luis Obispo county and number of
deputies and railroad employees and
sent at full speed to the scene of the
robbery and after a brief search the
safe was found but no trace of the rob-
bers.
That the men who committed the
crime are familiar with the custom of
the express messenger and helper leav-
ing their car and going into the bag
gage car during the early morning
hours can be no doubt and suspicion
naturally points to the frequency of
some one at the depots along the line
or to an ex-employee as the leader.
The mystery surrounding the rob-
berry is made desperate by the failure
Of the bandits to blow open the big
safe which is believed to have con-
tanned between twenty and thirty
thousand dollars
The superintendent of the Wells Far
go Express company declares the safe
could not contain great amount of val
uables and that 1t was used principally
by the messenger as depository for way
papers and small packages. He re-
fused to estimate the amount of the
plunder.
The robbers evidently were pressed
for time after getting off the train
and locating the safe and they failed
to make a complete job of the looting
When the blown treasure box was
picked up it was found to contain a
diamond worth probably $500 that was
evidently overlooked. Pieces of torn
express envelopes were found strewn
unfortunately about the spot show
ing further evidence of the extreme
haste in getting away with the booty.
An unofficial estimate places the
amount of the plunder at 100000. but
the express and railroad officials unite
in asserting that the loss is compara
lively insignificant. A conservative es-
innate places the loss at about ten
thousand but as the express officials
are the only persons who know the full
extent of the robbery its magnitude
may never become public

NO BOILER
EXPLOSION
JOhnstOWn Accident Caused by a
Bursting Fly Wheel on a
Runaway Engine

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
PITTSBURG, Jan. 21.-The latest re-
port from the Johnstown Cambria
steel accident is that it was caused not
by an explosion of the boilers as was
first given out but the breaking of a
governor on the engine which ran away
until it's speed disintegrated the thirty
foot forty ton flywheel. Pieces of the
wheel weighing a ton were thrown
through the roof two hundred feet.
This tore down the roof on that Sec
ton of the building and the debris
piling down on the boilers caused a fire
which the bursted water pipes soon
eXtinguished.
Only one was killed outright, one has
since died at the hospital and nine are
injured.

Chefoo, Sept. 19.-According 70
Lieutenant Prince Radzivil of the Rus
sian army, who reached here from
Port Arthur bearing dispatches from
Lieutenant General Stoessel, the com
mander-in-chief of the forces of the
Russian stronghold, to General Kuro-
patkin, tn temper of the belligerents
at Port Arthur has reached an abso-
lutely merciless stage.
Prince Radzivil served with the
British in the Boer war, and he says
that until he became aware Of the
state of affairs at Port Arthur he had
no idea that war could be so horrible.
II was set forth in these dispatches
some weeks ago that serious suspi-
cions were entertained by both bel
ligerents that the other was misusing
the Red Cross flag. The suspicious
have been increased by the commits
sion of various acts by the soldiers of
both armies until now even flags Of
truce or surrender are not respected
by either side
Prince Radzivil declares that the
men of both armies are absolutely
venomous in their antagonism. Lieu
tenant General Stoessel has addressed
his garrison, saying that the present
mood of the Japanese indicates clear
ly the necessity of resisting them to
the last drop of Russian blood, be-
cause if the Japanese soldiers entered
the fortress it undoubtedly would be
impossible for their officers to control
them and prevent a massacre. For
this reason Lieutenant General Stoes.
sci is making no objection to civilians
leaving Port Arthur. When the 300
women who are in Port Arthur en-
gagged in hospital work were advised
to leave, they replied that they would
rather face the possibility of massacre
than desert their posts.
In consequence of the fact that flags
of truce are ignored, numbers of Jap
anese dead who have been lying on
the slopes Of the hills of the northeast
defenses for weeks past are still UNI
buried, and the stencil in Port Arthur
from decomposing bodies, when the
wind is in the right direction, is al
most uncomfortable. The Russian sol
diers, who are in some cases posted
only so PAGES from heaps of decaying
dead, have constantly TO wear over
their noses handkerchiefs soaked in
camphor, as otherwise they would be
unable to remain at their posts.
