Murders Two Wen When Asked to Leave Train or Buy a
 .t, Ticket.

Linen, Cal, Sept. 22.--A brakeman and conductor of a passenger traa an were shot and killed by tramp who was at tempting to steal ride on their train. The tramp escaped to the hills and is being pursued by the sheriff and it is believed that his capture will be a matter of few hours.
 The murder was cold-blooded and was witnessed by the train crew who were without arms and made no attempt to appre- bend the desp4rate man. The fellow had refused to leave the train or purchase a ticket and when the brakeman seized him to force him off jhe was shot through the head, dying instant ly. The conductor went to the assistance of his fellow workman and suffered a like fate. The tramp fired but two bullets and is evidently a crack. shot. The sheriff has ordered his deputies to take no chances in effecting his capture.

George Poncin's Partners Say He Secured Gold Displayed
 From Prospectors Here.

The Miner in it's issue of Sun
 day morning printed report of a new strike having been made
 in the Chisana district by George
 Pocin. The story was taken from
 the Skagway Alaskan of recent
 date and was an account of his having arrived at Juneau with a small vial of gold containing 60 cents which he claimed to have
 takdn from one pan on a new
 creek the name of which he did
 not disclose, claiming that he did
 not want to start stampede be- fore he had time to properly pro- tect his ground.
 There are two men in Valdez
 who believe that the man men, Ilioned is their partner, George Poncin, and that he was never near the new camp but secured
 the gold from prospectors who took it from a creek within tWen- ty- five miles of Valdez. The three men came north to go to the ChiSana but turned back be- fore reaching GulEana. Pom cius : partners art t.. W. i'0rheS
