HUMBOLDT
WANTS A
RAILROAD
Guarantees the Company ST..
100000 Business First
Year After Road
Is Opened.

Eureka. Cal. July 27.-For the
purpose of urging the officials Of the
Northwestern Pacific railroad, joint
ly owned by the santa Fe and South
ern Pacific systems, to construct a
line from the present terminal at
Willis to Eureka, the Humbolt rail-
road promotion committee left this
morning for San Francisco.
During the afternoon the commit
tee will discuss the scheme with
Manager A. II. Payson, and lay be-
fore him facts and figures to prove
that the construction OF the railroad
into Humboldt county you'd be a prof
table investment.
To add weight to the matter the
committee is authorized 10 guaran-
tee the railroad S2.000.000 gross
business the first year following the
construction.
The matter has been brought TO
the attention OF the railroad officials
several times before and the result
OF today's meeting is watched with
intense interest in Humboldt county.
owing 70 the roughness Of the $50
miles OF country II would be neces-
sary 10 build through, It is estimated
that the construction OF the proposed
line from Eureka to Willitts, would
be 100000.
At present the principal means Of
communication with the south from
Eureka is by steamer. Should the
corporation decide to put the railroad
through It would open Humbolt coun-
ty up and give the farmers a chance
to ship their products 10 San Fran
cisco by rail via Sausalito.

OF the Liberty grocery store, was
, driving along the road a quarter of
/ mile beyond the new school house
between this city and Liberty about
8 80 last evening, a masked man
stepped out OF the shrubbery at the
side Of the road and pointing a gun
at him, told him to throw out his
money, and after being informed by
Mr.. Mcdonald that there was no
money for him. the highwayman shot
at but missed his would-be victim.
This morning Mr. Mcdonald gave
description of the hold-up as fol-
lows:
Il had passed the school house
about a quarter of mile on my way
home from Salem. where ! went for
some grocery stock. when man
wearing mask and a long linen
duster stepped out Of the brush with
gun in his hand He told me to
throw out my money and when | i'm
formed him in rather rough language
I beieve. that | did not have any
money for him. he threatened to
shoot II / did not comply with his
demand, and / then told him TO shoot,
which he did, but missed me. lie

money and / gave him my opinion

would not be printable. presume,
and he then told me TO drive on II

on, himself, and began calling to
three men who were unloading some
furniture az nearby house. The
fellow turned about again and told
me 10 90 on. and when | refused he
fired again at me and missed the
second time. guess he must have
got bluffed out then. as he turned
and ran back In the brush and disap-
peared. ! could not get the men 10
come. although ! yelled loudly 10
them. As near as / could tell he had
o 22-calibre gun OF ordinary make.
His face. which was covered with a
blue and white handkerchief with
two large holes cut IN IL for eyes.

chief being extra large / could see
his eyes, which were light blue. lie
was about five feet eight inches tall
and weighed about 1876 pounds. /

him again, although / did not get

the hold-up as Mr., Mcdonald could |

inal has made good his escape by |
this time. Sheriff MintO is inclined .
20 think the highwayman was a rank /

may be possible that he will show his
