Train Robbers Left Was

called Thiles, on San Luis mountain.
The sherin's deputies found the
safe blown open early this morning
and made an immediate attempt to
trace the robbers. It IL believed they
live in the vicinity. No arrest has
been made up to noon.
A peculiar thing about the robbery
IL the fact that it was not discovered
until the train left Paso Robles on
tho way north. One Of the express
messengers noticed the door had been
broken open after the train pulled
out for Paso Robles station and when
1t reached San Miguel gave the alarm.
The engineer and conductor, a. well
as the whole train crew, knew moth
ing Of the robbery. Not single one
could offer the slightest clue and the
express car alone told the story.
The wells-Fargo onioials will not
give out the exact amount the robbers
secured, but it In known to be large.
Many valuable express packages were
in the safe, az well ~ considerable
coin.
The FIRST information Of the holdup
received by Superintendent Aglar Of
the Southern Pacific came In q mes
sage sent by Conductor E. H. Meyer
from King City. It merely stated the
safe had been thrown or the train by
unknown parties.
Upon receipt Of the message Aglar
ordered an engine out Of san Luis

men near tunnel 2, q few miles from
PAso Robes, early this morning ana
the safe thrown on. The discovery
was not made until An hour later.
The amount In the same Is unknown,
but 1t IN believed to be at least $1o,-
600. Posses have been sent to the
scene.
While the train was coming slowly
up the grade into the tunnel the rob-
bers boarded it and battered down
the large door to the first express
car, in which there were no messen-
gers. The door was locked at San
Luis obispo, where several Thousand
dollars in money and valuables had
been placed in the safe. The train
proceeded northward with the express
messenger In the adjoining car to the
rear. They noticed no suspicious
characters around the station, neither
did the conductor or other trainmen.
This IL almost conclusive proof that
the robbers boarded the train a. It
was proceeding slowly up the grade.
When the tunnel was entered they
Immediately began their work Of
breaking in the door, using long iron
rods and hatchsts.. The noise was
not heard by any Of the trainmen.
