THREE MASKED MEN ROB
CALIFORNIA TRAIN.

Benicia, CAL, April 18.-After loot
ing the mail and baggage cars Of over
land train No. /, between this place
and Goodyear, at 1890 o'clock this
morning, three masked men, who es-
capped on the engine Of the train to
Suisun bay are being pursued by q
sheriff's posse, through bayous In a
steam launch.
The robbers had planned the hold-up
carefully and had a boat :secreted In
the marshes when they abandoned the
engine at Cygnus.
The train was stopped by a lantern
signal as II slowed down on the ap-
proach to Goodyear. As the engine
came to q stop, two men leaped
aboard, one from each side, and cover
ed the engineer with revolvers. An
instant later the third appeared and
covered the fireman.
One Of the men stood guard over the
engineer and fireman while the other
two entered the express car.
No estimate of the amount taken
can be had, but II is believed that the
ToDDtTy Httttu btNtfhi hunbicu tof-
lars. There were ten coaches In the
train, and the robbers locked each one
as they passed through, leaving the
passengers captive while they rihed
the other cars.
After completing the work they re-
turned to the engine, where their COM
panion still stood guard over the train
men, and ordered the engineer TO un-
couple the engine. He was then or
dered, with the fireman, TO "beat IT,"
and a. the men ran back toward the
rear Of the train, one Of the robbers
pulled the throttle wide open and the
engine shot at top speed through Good
year.
A posse was quickly organised at
Goodyear and Bcnecis and short time
later the abandoned engine was found
q few miles farther ahead at Suisun
bay. A rancher living nearby had
seen three men and Il was learned
short time later that the men had es-
capped In a launch.
