Van Gross Tells Highwaymen ' Nothing of Valne Is Carried and Robbers Stop' Search Two Young and Novices. Neither of the robbers who rifted the mall car of Southern Paclflc train No. 16. which was held ' up in Cow Creek Canyon, near Oiendale, Or.. Wednesday night, appeared to be over 26 years of age. says C. O. Van Gross, ona of the mail clerks, and both outlaws seamed to ba novices. One wore a black mask. The other bad no disguise, and Mr. Van Gross feels certain that he could reoog nlsa him. One of the highwaymen ad dressed the other as "Joe." "The two men gat on the mail car as the train waa leaving West Fork." said Van Gross. "They backed ua up against the wall, and we remained with our hands in the air until the train waa about two miles further north. Then the engineer, who had been sent back by the third robber In the engine cab, uncoupled the express, baggage and mall cars from the rest of the train, and the Bremen ran It ahead probably a mile. The engineer was left with the remain der of the train. Second Section Arrive?. . -At "The robbers then s proceeded to rip registered mall sacks Spen with a pocket knife. . They took turns at the work, one or the other keeping -us covered with a revolver all the time. I do not be lieve that they got very much of value. When they had gone, after dumping all they wanted Into a single sack, the sec ond section of No. IS came along push lng the balance of the train In front of It. We went on to Cow Creek, where there was a freight train on the siding. I borrowed a portable telephone appar atus and notified Roseburg of the hold uo." One of the robbers seemed to be about 24 yeara of age. said Mr. Van Gross. He waa smooth shaven and of medium height and build. His weight would be not more than 13a pounds. His com plexion was dark. The bandits seemed to be somewhat nervous In the begin ning, but regained their composure after it became evident that the mall clerks were not In a position to offer resist ance. Men Held as Shields. They wanted to get Into the express car, ' continued Mr. an Gross. I toia them . that there was no express to amount to anything on our section of the train. They took us with them, however, and tried to force their way into the car. The door Jammed. They also tried the other end. Tho door Jammed there, too, and they finally gave -un.- All the time they kept us in ironi so that If any shooting had been done by Tom Reynolds, the express messen ger, we would have been struck. Rey nold, knew this." The reason for the Jamming of the doors was explained when t-xpress mes- aaneer Reynolds told his story: "I suspected there was somethlnfr wrong when the train stopped." said Reynolds. I barricaded the doors at both ends by piling boxes of fruit against them. 1 then turned out the lls-hta and kept perfectly quiet. I heard the sound of voices In the mall car and the baggage car, between which the express car was located, and sur mised that there was a holdup. After they had gone I opened the side door of my car and found the crew looking for me. I did not leave the car." loot Deemed Valueless. The night waa extremely dark. The only light carried by the robbers was a murky lantern. They kept it down around their feet practically all the time. Reynolds says he had charge of little express of value and declared that he "would not give the robbers a dollar for all they took from the mail car." Postofflce Inspector Durand said yes terday that of the three sacks of regis tered mall rifled two were consigned to Portland and one to Seattle. The robbers also ripped open many envel opes containing registered mall which were In process of assortment and which had not yet been placed In sacks. Mr. Durand declares that the mall taken would "Of necessity have all been con signed to points In Northern Oregon, Washington. Northern Idaho and North ern Montana, as all mail from San Francisco for IJastern points goes by more direct routes and there Is a mall division at Grants Pass for Southern Oregon points.
