those used Thursday. The robber said
in the California hold-up he boarded
the train at Red Bluffs and forced
the three mail clerks to pick out the
registered mail for him. At Redding,
he boarded a Pullman on the same
train and escaped detection. A re-
ward of $4,000 had been offered for
the capture OF the Red Bluffs rob-
Der.

renee led to Lounsberry's capture.
When the train passed through there
and the pouches were not forthcom.
ing an investigation disclosed the
mail clerks bound and gagged. Word
OF the robbery then was telephoned
to Topeka, where the robber was cap
tured.
