FIND TRACE OF
B0ST|CK'S CAREER
EVIDENCE SHOWING UP TO AC.
COUNT 70 RsoUTHERN PA
CIFlC TRAIN BANDIT.

Los Angeles, Calf. Dec. 26.-Evi-
dence which it is believed will result in
revealing the identity and career OF
John Bostick. the bandit who held up
a Southern Pacific train and killed
Horace Montague, a travelling agent,
December l. was found today at the
rooming house where Bostick lived at
the time Of tho crime.
The proprietor of the rooming house
said that the day after Bostick regis
tered he received letter from some
town In Iowa with picture Of hotel
and the printed name ''BOstick" on the
envelope.
Whether this was the name Of the
hotel or of its proprietor was not
known. The police are trying to ascer-
tain whether the young bandid had &C
completes here.
The black derby which Bostick wore
when he robbed the train at Elmonte
was found in his room. He purchased
it In Chicago and under the sweat band
was discovered folded strips Of Chi
cago newspaper bearing the date Sep
TENDER 5th. In the light Of these dis
coveries, the police advance the theory
that Bosticll probably is from Iowa and
that he came to California via Chicago
only a few months ago.

never heard Mr.. Teesdale speak an
unkind word of anybody. Yet he was
a man of great firmness and of strong
convictions. The grace of God only
can make us peace maker and such
he was. have rarely ever met man
whom had learned to love as l loved
him for what he was. The Lord will
honor him in his kingdom of glory and
I shall have the great JOY Of being with
him there.
Mrs. HORNED sends her love to you
all and she rejoices in the fact that
she wrote to you before this sad event
and in time for Mr.. Teesdale to get
the message Of our love. I had just
sent off in this mornings mail "a letter
to Mr.. Elliott in which I expressed a
desire to see your husband face to
face. Little did I think that few
moments afterwards messenger
would be standing at our own door
with a message announcing his death.
Now take great comfort in the grace
Of God which enabled Mr.. Teesdale to
confess publicly Christ as his Savior
and to take such a deep interest in
your church and the work of it's pastor
than tongue can tell, but the dear Lord
who will not forget your work Of love
and mercy during the past years, will
not allow you to sorrow as others who
have no hope. Thank God for the
dear loving and loyal children and
grand children. 1t will be only little
while and even the youngest of us will
meet in the world without pain and
sorrow. We shall pray for you daily.
You have great many friends in the
city and for miles around. Thank God
for them. You owe them to his grace
which made you what you are. Write
us about these days of sorrow.
Your true friend,
w. H. Horned
Those of his immediate family who
mourn are his wife, one son and three
daughters with fourteen grand chill
