good night, he said, CONSIDERING

FOUR MEN PULL OFF DARING
ROBBERY NEAR WEST
FORK, ORE.
WERE AFTER RICH TREASURE
A SHIPMENT OF 100000 IN GOLD
DUST PROMPTED THE
DEED
CARRIED Off Registered MAIL
NERvY MESSENGER FoILED AT
TEMPT TO ROB THE Ex-
PRESS CAR

Glendale, Ore, June 29.-Apparent-
ly mistaking the first section o,
northbound passenger train No. 1C
on the Southern Pacific railroad fJl
a southbound train said to be carry
ing a shipment of 100000 in gold
dust from San Francisco, four bandits
held up the northbound train last
night at 9:10 o'clock near West Fork
an isolated station in Coal Creek
canyon.
The robbers rifled the mail car,
blowing open the safe, and made
away with the registered mail. They
tried to secure entrance to the eS
press car, but were foiled by Messen-
ger Robb, who refused to open the
door despite threats that they would
dynamite the car if he resisted. The
robbers, after fruitlessly prying with
a crowar at the side door of the car,
finally desisted and decamped with
the loot they had secured from the
mail car. The amount of booty Sc
cured by the robbers is believed to
be small.
The bandits boarded the train at
West Fork while the engine was TAX
ing water. Soon after it got under
way they crawled over the tender in
to the cab and directed the engineer
10 stop the train. This done, one of
the men kept the engineer and fire
man under cover of his revolvers,
while the other went back and un-
coupled the mail, baggage and ex-
press cars. Then the engineer was
ordered to pull these cars some dis
tance up the track, where he was
again ordered to stop.
The robbers went back to the mail
car and lining the mail clerks up,
took the registered mail pouches ana
dynamited the mail car safe, The
noise of the explosion warned Mes
senger Robb of what was taking
place, and when the demand came
for him to open his door, he made no
response. The robbers threatened to
blow him up with dynamite but this
did not produce any response and the
robbers tried to pry the door open
with a crowbar. After finding that
they were only wasting time they de-
camped, leaving the engine and cars
on the Coal Creek siding. Posses
have been organized to pursue the
robbers who, however, have secured
a long start.

REFUSES
SUBPOENA To SEE
WAR MANEUvERS
Lieutenant Reimer Wanted as
Witness in Connection With
Armory Site Purchase.

Lieutenant Frederic \. Reimer, Of
Field Battery A, East Orange, was
served with a subpoena today to APP
pear in the East Orange District Court
on April 6, but returned the paper al l
fifty cents given him to Clerk Noah
Baldwin, as he intends to leave to-
morrow under orders to report at San
Antonio, Tex, to participate in the gov
eminent maneuvers.
The case in which he was to appear
is over a real estate transaction, two
pieces of property on the North park
way having been selected for purchase
by the State Military Board for the
erection of a new armory for the field
battery. Frederick Pring owns the
ground at 10S-112 North Parkway,
which was to have been bought. Owing
to opposition, a different site was
selected.
The action is brought against Pring
by Miss Carrie NJ. Dufford, a stenog-
rapher in the office of Fell & Devine'
the real estate agents, who is said to
have been selected to act by the real
estate brokers. for ZOO, a deposit given
Pring. He has refused to give it up,
but has declared he is willing to have
the money stand as part payment for
any other lea Fell & Devine could
make with the property.
Recorder Francis A. Mott jr., is
counsel fol Pring, n he told Lieu
Reimer if he did not appear In
court he would have him held in con-
tempt. A fine of 800 can be imposed
on a witness who fails to obey a sub
poena. Despite this Mr.. Reimer said
he was going to Texas.
Some spicy testimony is expected to
be brought out when the suit is moved
for trial, and it is said the property was
to have brought about $1,000 above
what Pring would sell, his figure being
81, 900, it is said. Lieutenant Reimer
is said to have been present when
certain statements We're made. With
the other officers of the battery, he
believed the property would be ideal
for the new armory. Edward l.. Davis
Is counsel for Miss Dufford.
In the papers filed with the district
court by the plaintiff it is stated that
on or about Juno 20, 1910. a contract
was entered into for the purchase Of
the land on the Parkway, the title to
close on August so. Upon the execu-
ton of the agreement 5000 was to be
paid by the plaintiff to the defendant
thai the title has never been given the
plaintiff nor a deed rendered, inc that
the 5000 has not been returned to the
plaintiff. A judgment for $500 is asked,
