1O16 Broadway. July IA.
Horace B. Cochran, a State railroad
policeman employed in the West Oak
land yards of the Southern Pacific
Company, encountered two highway
men for whom he was looking early
this morning. but instead of landing
the pair behind the bars, he was him
self taken prisoner, and, without wea-
pom or star, compelled to march to
Shell Mound station. nearly two miles
distant. before he was given his liberty
This stroke Of daring on the part Of the
thieves resulted in their escape. and the
police in several counties have been no
tilted to watch for them.
Shortly after IL o'clock last night the
highwaymen held up and robbed the
saloon of Henry Wieking, at the corner
of Eighth and Washington streets. The
crime was particularly bold, as the
streets were brightly lighted and many
pedestrians were in the neighborhood
One of the men wore a red mask, but
the other was not in disguise. Both
carried weapons, and when they en-
tered they commanded William Wick
ing, who is a brother of the prophet Jr
and who was in charge OF the saloon,
to throw up his hands. The same or
der was given Albert Springer, the bar
tender, and Fred Josselyn, a customer.
While one of the thieves watched those
in the saloon the other passed behind
the bar and in a nervous manner open
ed the cash register and eeketed
about 800 in coin. AS abruptly as
they had entered the pair took their de-
parture. Once outside of the door they
pocketed their weapons and walked up
Eighth street to Clay.
POLICE ARE NOTIFIED.
wieking, when the robbers had de-
parted, called up the polls and told
what had happened When the mes
sage was received Night Captain Will
son Immediately issued orders to as
many policemen as he could muster to-
gether tc search the city and, If possi-
bic TO bring in the robbers. Details of
officers were dispatched throughout the
town, but for about four hours there
were no results.
Policemen Hamerton and Thompson
were sent TO the West Oakland railroad
yards on the suspicion that the fugi-
tives might make an attempt to leave
the city on the first outgoing freight
train. Hamerton and Thompson, when
they arrived at the yards. found Rail-
road Policeman Cochran on his beat.
The officers informed the latter of the
saloon robbery and of their detail to
look about the yards. 1t was suggested
that the hunted men were probably
hiding in one of the empty box cars
and a search was proposed. None of
the men had a lantern and Cochran
went in quest of one. He had one in a
locker at the other end of the yards
and started away in the darkness to
get 1t.

Cochran had not gone a great dis

men. Both held revolvers in their
hands, which they quickly raised to a
level with the railroad policemans
head. Cochran was taken by surprise.
He asked the men what they wanted
and in reply they ordered him to raise
The San Francisco call., 1904-07-15

his hands. Resistance was useless and
Cochran did not hesitate. While his
hands were above his head one of the
men stepped up to him. unfastened his
star and took away his pistol
Then the daring crooks told the po-
liceman that he might lower his hands,
but that he must do as they said.
There was a brief conversation in
which the thieves gave their orders
and then started Cochran in the direc-
ton of the Shell Mound depot. Among
the suggestions the highwaymen made
to Cochran was that he was not to OBJ
serve them too closely When he Of
fered them his watch they found its
value was little and they returned it
to him. Then the march began.
Meanwhile Policemen Hamerton and
Thompson waited for the lantern
Cochran was in the lead and two long
pistols were held close TO his back The
trio passed the bathhouse at the head
of the Oakland mole, then took TO the
railroad track. While going by the
S1xteenth-street station the thieves
displayed caution and took circuitous
route with their captive. The tramp
continued and little was said Occa-
slonally the robbers reminded Cochran
that any attempt at trickery would re-
suit in his death, but otherwise the
men were silent
When within fifty feet of the Shell
Mound station Cochran was ordered to
halt. He did so. and then he was told
that he would be given his freedom.
The man who had taken his revolver
TGm0VPd the
weapon and passed it back to Cochran.
The police badge was not returned.
COCHRAN SET FREE.
Cochran was glad to get away He
started back in the direction whence
he had come, and the men stood side
oy side with their revolvers pointed
at MIN, calling upon him to make no
outcry Finally, when they were out of
sight, he broke into run and returned
TO the railroad yards A telephone
message was sent to police headquar-
ters and more policemen were sent out
on the new clew. Those who searched

found nothing, the men having made a
quick escape.
Chief of Police Hodgkins, when he ar
the case In charge. Detective. and pa
trolmen reported to him the result Of
their Investigations, but no tangible
clew was obtained during the day. One
man, Joe Ranken, was arrested in an
intoxicated condition and held in order
that he might be closely questioned.
1t is believed that the robbers board
ed freight train and left the county,
kilograms were sent to Port Costa TO
arrest all suspicious characters. but no
men answering the description of the
highwaymen have yet been located.
The police have good descriptions of
the men. Wieking and those in the sa
loon could identify the men again and
Cochran has very good idea of the
robbers appearance They may be
local men, but the detectives are of the
opinion that they are strangers in the
city, owing to the character of their
work. The fact that they Immediately
made an attempt to leave the city after
committing crime strengthens this
theory.
