ROBBERS HELD UP
CALIFORNIA TRAIN
Three Masked Bandits Held Up South
ern Pacific Near Chatsworth and Get
But SIPS for the Job.

Los Angeles, Cal, July 24.-No word
had been received early today from the
posses of deputies who are searching the
foothill country north of Los Angeles
for three masked bandits who last even
ing held up the Southern Pacific south
bound Coaster train No. 22 near
Chatsworth and robbed the passengers
of $1125.
An hour after the robbery four auto.
mobiles, loaded to the running-board
with officers armed with shotguns,
rifles and revolvers, were speeding from
Los Angeles toward Hewitt, II miles
north, wnere the robbers left the train.
The men were believed to nave escaped
in automobiles, but their way to Los
Angeles was blocked by the posse, and
they were believed to have taken to the
open country.
The three bandits boarded the rear
end of the train when it stopped at
Chatsworth at 9:53 clock. All wore
dark masks. One carried shotgun and
the others revolvers.
Rear Brakeman C. T. Gundry was
compelled TO elevate his hands and pre-
cede two of the men down the train,
the third standing guard at the end of
the rear coach. The men made their
way calmly through the coaches, gruf
/ fly and profanely commanding the men
passengers to turn over their money
To the women passengers they were
very courteous, but took their money.
Throughout the march Gundry was kept
between them and the front of the train
as a shield.
The parlor ear offered the most re-
munerative field, for 30 men were cor.
gregated there. All of these disgorged
thir money. Many of the women in the
ear, terrified, offered their jewels, but
the robbers took nothing but money.
News of the holdup had spread rapic-
ly through the long train, and by the
time the robbers had passed through
a dining ear that divided the train in
the middle, the forward coaches were
in an uprOar. Taking alarm, the pair
= dropped from the train as it slowed
down at Hewitt, the third man joining
them from the rear platform.
Trainmen at once telegraphed news
of the noldup to the sheriff's office in
Los Angeles
Varying reports were made regarding
the amount of money stolen, and sew
eral passengers declared that the rob
bers had overlooked several thousand
dollars in their pockets.
Telephone messages today from Hew-
lit, San Fernando, Burbank, Chats
worth and other towns in the vicinity
of the robbery were to the effect that
no traces of the bandits had been re,
ported there.
Deputy Sheriff Cox at o 'cloek this
morning arrested a man at Sierra Ma
DIRE who fitted closely the description
of one of the bandits. The man refused
to tell his name. Cox telephoned that
he would bring him to Los Angeles to-
day.
Sheriff Hammel was working with i
posse near Hewitt. BlOodhounds had
picked up the trail of the robbers where
they left the train but were unable tc
follow it further than highway near
the tracks, emphasizing the belief that
the men escaped in an automobile.

Rloodhonnds on Trail

Los Angeles, Cal, July 24.-Though
no actual trace had been found of the
three robbers who held up the South
ern Pacific southbound "Coaster' near
Chatsworth last night and robbed its
passengers of Sl,2l5, the officers who
were on the bandits trail today were
hopeful that they would be run to
earth before night.
After losing the scent dozen times
bloodhounds which were put on the
path of the bandits apparently found
a place where they had left their auto
mobiles aud taken to the hills. As a
result half hundred armed men were
following the dogs late today in a
wide half circle The trail led east
from Hewitt, where the robbers left
the train, toward the Verdugo hills.
One suspect was in custody. He was
arrested at Sierra Madre because he
resembled closely the description of
one of the bandits. He gave his name
as James Murphy but refused to ex-
plain his business at Sierra Madre.
Sheriff Hammell telephoned here at
noon for additional officers.

Chester County Man is Arrested on
Murder Charge.
Frank Grant, charged with the
killing of Sidney J. Ferguson Friday
afternoon in the Capers Hill COM

The Varnadore home is about three

Late Saturday afternoon Sheriff
Colvin received word that young
Grant would be at his uncle's home
that night. He got together eight

of the deputies saw some one light
a cigarette in the gable of the man

strange that anybody should be in
such an add part of the house. Sher-

went to the house and asked Mr.
Varnadore if his nephew was there.
and he said, according to the depu-
ties, that he would not tell a lie
about it, that he was up in the gable
He led several of the deputies, it is
said, to where he was, and the youth

SHOOTS MAN TO DEATH
KILLING IN LOWER EDGE OF
BARNWELL COUNTY.
Slain Man Said to Have Been Climb
ing Fence Despite Warning When
Fired Upon.

Fired Upon.
Angus L. Main, a prominent citi-
zen and farmer who lives near Jen-
nys in the lower edge Of Barnwell
county, was shot and mortally
wounded at the home of W. H. Mix
son by the latter's daughter, Mrs.
Susie Mizelle, about 1880 o'clock
Wednesday evening. Mr.. Main died
about three hours after beinf shot.
The Mixson home is about six miles
from Fairfax, and Main, who was the
last customer at the dispensary at
Fairfax Wednesday afternoon, was
on his way home in buggy, having
with him a negro named Calvin
Johnson. When they got to the Mix
son home they drove the buggy into
Mr.. Mixson's lot. Mrs. Mizelle, hear
ing them using profane words and
not knowing who they we're, called.
"Who are you?" The answer came
from Main: "It makes no difference
who I am; I'm coming in
She warned him not to come any
farther, telling him she would shoot
him if he did, and in the meantime
calling to her little brother to bring
the gun. Main did not heed the
warning but started to climb over the
fence between the horse lot and the
residence yard. AS he was almost
ove- the fence about 25 feet from
her she fred the gun which was
| loaded with bird shot. The load took
effect in the left side Of the face at
the base of the neck. Main fell back
across the fence, his feet being on
the inside of the yard, and remained
in that position until nearby neigh
bors who heard the alarm came and
removed him.
Mrs. Mizelle and her husband,
Robert Mizelle, and their child had
come from Estill, where they live. to
spend the holidays with Mrs.
Mizelle's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. ". H.
Mixson. Mrs. MiXson was sick in
bed. Mr.. Mixson and Mr.. Mizelle had
gone to pay visit at the home OF
friends about two miles away when
Main and the negro arrived at the
MiXson home.
Magistrate L. H. Williams held an
inquest and the jury rendered yer.
dict that the deceased came to his
death by the effect of gunshot
wound inflicted by Mrs. Susie Mizelle
Main, who was the son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Walter Main, was about 35
years old. He leaves wife and six
children. He was an inoffensive man
when sober, and his act is undoubt,
edly attributable to his being unbal.
anced at the time. If he had told
Mrs. Mizelle who he was she would
not have hurt him, for she knew him
we'll. It is probable, however, tina,
he did not know where he was when
he stopped at the Mixson home.
