hill, about two miles this side of Brady
Island, where the sand hills terminate.
There were three men visible according
to Conductor Flynn's description. Two
oi the gang got on the train at Brady
island, going forward over , the tender
after the train was in motion, and with
revolvers drawn compelled the engineer
to go back to the baggage car and gain
admittance. He informed the baggage
man tbey were held up and the robbers
had a gun at his bead. Tbey were ad
mitted and the expressman compelled
to open the smaller safe. He could not
open tbe larger combination safe and
tbe robbers proceeded to blow the top
out with dynamite. Meantime the fire,
man nncoupled the engine and ran to
Gothenburg. In a short time 20 volun
teers were in route for tbe scene of the
robbery, but before they arrived the
robbers disappeared. The bandits wore
black slouch hats with black silk hand
kerchiefs for masks. . They were about
5 feet 10 inches high and thev would
weigh about 150 pounds. They rode
horseback and evidently came in from

much excited, but, not molested, Sec
tion Foreman Alexander Vrooman has
seen some men around the place of the
robbery several days and has a good de
scription of them. Superintendant W. L.

McArl said the robbers did not get over

leave before they completed their work.

Frank Ubelacker, Frank Ficgele and
William Kennedy for murder in tbe first
degree, bail being refused. A motion,

partment, is making a number of tests
of bicycles as a means for the carrying 3T
military dispatches from station to sta
tion. These tests bave been made most
ly in trie eastern states, and nave to a
reasonable degree of satisfaction proven
that the wheel may be utilized by tbe
military during time's of emergency be
tween points far from railway stations.
Today there left Fort Walla Walla, Pri
vate F. L. Anderson, of Fourth cavalry,
U. S. A., riding a 21-pound bicycle, and
bound for Fort Vaucouver. He bears
dispatches from Colonel Com p ton, com
mander at tbe Walla Walla fort, to Gen
eral Otis, iu command of the depart
ment of the Columbia, with instructions
to deliver them at the eariiet possible
moment, making the entire distance on
his wheel.
His equipment consists of 41 pounds
of "impidiiuenta," including a carbine-,
twa pistols, 50 rounds of ammunition,
two blankets, a silk tent and three days'
rations. He is supposed to make the
entire trip with the supplies he carries
away from the fort. . .
Private Anderson is a well-buiityoaiic
fellow of medium height, and weighs 145
ponnds. When on his wheel, with all
his equipment, the total weight is 227
pounds. ' ,
Hi route is laid out in his instruc
tions for the entire way. He is in
structed to proceed by wheel to Pendle
ton, thun to Echo, where ho is to leave
the railroad and go across the country to
Celilo. Thence the route takes him to
the John Day river country into The
Dalles, from where be takes the old road
to Portland and Vancouver.
Private Anderson is the poet librarian
and bas no marvelous records in bicvele
riding. He is a represenative of tbe
good average wneelman, with perhaps a
little more than the ordinary amount of
endurance. He started on his long
journey with confidence that within
hours of the time leaving ho would ride
up to General Otis' headquarters, seek
that officer's office, salute and deliver
the sealed packet which has been placed
in his bands by tbe commandant of the
fort at Walla Walla.'
