HIGHWAYMEN LOOT REGIS
TERED MAIL ON OREGON
TRAINING REWARD OF
FERED.
(By United Press Leased Wire.

(By United Press Leased Wire.)
ROSEBURG, Ore, June 20
Two posses took the trail today at
West Fork of three outlaws who
last night held up and robbed the
frst section of the Oregon Ex-
press on the Southern Pacific rail-
road near West Fork, after they
had held up the engineer and
fireman, forced them to stop the
train and uncoupled the express,
baggage and mail cars from the
passenger coaches. 1t is believed
the robbers secured loot of great
value from the registered mail.
AS they were without tools they
could not force the express car
safe and as result nothing OF
value was taken from this car.
The scene of the robbery Is Cow
Creek canyon, one of the widest
parts of Oregon, and If the ban
dts have a thorough knowledge
of the country they have a good
chance of eluding capture.

ACCEPT BID
FOR STEEL
ON BRIDGE

This afternoon the city commits
sion is meeting again trying to
solve the bridge deal.
The action of yesterday after
noon when all the bids were re-
jected was reconsidered and Free
land, Petit and Woods stood for
accepting the bid OF the American
Bridge company for steel and
calling for new bids for construc-
tion. The council convened again
at 2 O'Clock and the whole mat
ter is being threshed out.
DR.. Waddell told the council
that he did not believe the city
would even again get as low a
bid on steel as it did Monday.
The American Bridge company
representative received wire
from the New York office this
morning in response to request
to be allowed to cut the price
that he should pass up the busi-
ness as they had better things in
sight.
Mayor Seymour tried for about
the twentieth time to slip his
Joker in to let any contractor or
engineer foist flimsy bridge on
the city for a low price but the
council turned him down.

C0NFESSES CRIME
BIG TREES
ARE SAVED

The scenic beauty of the Noun
tain road will not be marred by
the pole line of the power plant.
After a strenuous two-hour dis
cussion this morning the council
voted four to one to change the
route and keep off the road where
the big trees grow.
1t looked bad for the proposi-
tion until George Long of the
Weyerhaeuser Timber company
offered to cooperate to save the
timber and put in a park. When
Congressman Warburton supple
mented this with the opinion that
he could get the government to
secure a wide strip all along the
road for a public park that settled

OROVlLLE. Cal, June 29.-
Working on declarations by phy'
saicians that only sudden jerk
by strong arm could have bro
ken the neck of 13-year-old Helen
Rumball, whose body was found
hanging In the home of her step
mother near here. District Attor-
ney Jones and Sheriff Webber are
seeking additional murder evil
dence today.
A charge of murder will prob
ably be made against the girls
stepmother, Mrs. Emma l.. Rum
ball, and her brother, Archie
Lewis, both OF whom are in jail.
District Attorney Jones declares
he has, other evidence to show
that the girls neck was broken

Jerking the rope while the child,
her hands bound before her, was
unable to maintain her balance.
Both Are Indifferent.
Both Mrs. Rumball and Lewis
still maintain their innocence of
the girls death. Their demeanor
Is callous.
Public indignation at the child's
piteous end still runs high Threats
of vengeance against her supposed
slayers are freely made.
One of the chief witnesses for
the prosecution will be Harriet
Plantz, the first outsider to visit
the Rumball home after the ira
gedy. She declared that the
child's clothing was soaked with
perspiration and that the tempera-
ture in the attic where the crime
was committed was at least 100
degrees.
Girl Was Tortured.
Tied hard and fast as she was,
the child's last hours, Miss Plantz
declared, must have been a fear
full torture. Added to her other
sufferings Mrs. Rumball inflicted
a beating, making a combination
that would be almost uncomfortable,
even by the strongest man.
Denial was MADE here today
that the Rumball woman sought
to exclude the dead child from
participation In her fathers estate
in favor of her own two children.
