Oesperadoes Get Registered Mail and
Escape in the Hills Near Be-
nicia, Cal.

BENICIA, Cal, April 1S.-The China
Japan mail, which left San Francisco
over the Southern Pacific railway for the
east at o'clock Saturday night, was
held up by two masked men at Sprig,
two miles east of here, at 1890 o'clock
Sunday morning and robbed of nine
pouches of registered mall
The train carried no express matter.
Four of the pouches have been recov
cred, but the robbers rified the others
and now are hiding in the hills and can
ons between Martinez and Oakland.
Sheriffs' posses from two counties, de-
tectives and pOstoftice inspectors on
horses and in automobiles are engaged in
the man hunt The robbers were we'll
armed and a battle is anticipated.
The passengers on the train were not
disturbed and several OF them did not
learn of the robbery until late Sunday
morning. After getting the mail sacks
the robbers cut the engine loose from the
train and sent it wild, throttle open,
down the track to the east.
In the direct path of the engine was a
section of passenger train No. 5, west
bound, heavily loaded. Only for the
presence of mind of a telegraph operator
at Suisun a serious collision would have
taken place. The engine was thrown into
a ditch in the nick of time.
The train robbery is the first in Cali
fornia for several years. 1t was plotted
and executed In daring and spectacular
fashion.

boy, he was limp and helpless. They
dragged him to the roadway. then to
the pump. Nobody was near nor did
they think to secure medical assistance

remained in unconscious condition and
showed no signs of life. Ultimately the
men agreed that he was dead. They
left the body there under the pump

tracks and left the spot.

the boy under the pump. He concluded
he was intoxicated. He wrapped him il
a blanket and put him into a wagon box
