That A lexa u de r M c N'a bb . t he

and his home burned in au effort to
destroy evidence of the crime, is the
belief of District Attorney George M.

who made a thorough inspection of

murdered, and was not burned as

of which they contend would have
resulted in almost instant death.
Qustioned by the district attorney
yesterday, people living In the vicin

last saw hiin alive Monday evening,
when he stopied at the Hrockway
store en route home from Hoseburg
and displayed a handful of silver.
On the following Wednesday he was
to have agaiu visited Hoseburg and
his failure to keep, the appointment
aroused some anxiety. Thinking that
he was possibly busy or had can
celled his contemplated trip, how
ever. Investigation of his where
ibouts was delayed until Friday
when his charred remains were
found iu the ruins of his former res

through a motive of robbery is the
belief of the otlieers who have been
unable to locate his money, pocket
knife, watch and other articles of
value. Other evidence tending to In
dic'uU' that he was murdered is the
fact that he was dressed and in Hp
parent readiness to leave for Rose
burg. All day yesterday friends and
neighbors of the deceased searched
tho ruins in hope that something
might be found which would remove
the suspicion of murder. Notwith
standing that the ashes were close
ly examined, however, nothing of
value was located, and it Is the
general opinion of the Brockway
people that the murderer looled the
cabin occupied by the deceased and
removed everything of consequence.
After Investigating the affair at
some length, the coroner decided
that an inquest would he necessary,
and consequently, the witnesses,

According to McXabb's brothers

YONCALLA, Ore., June 19.
At a Into hour this after-
noon Sheriff Qutne and his
deputies are still on the trull
of the bandits, who held up and
robbed the mall car of the 4
Shasta Limited, near Yoncalla.
late Friday night. The sheriff,
accompanied by several depu- 4
4 ties and the penitentiary blood- 4
hounds, left here at about
4 o'clock this morning, and ut a
late hour this ufternoon are
still euroute In a westerly dl- 4
reel ion. Sheriff Gage, of Coos
4 county, Is said to he enroute 4
here from the coast, and will
thus block any attempt of the
robbers to reach that part of
the country. The citizens here
are greatly excited over tho
man-hunt, and are rendering
all possible assistance In hope
of effecting ft capture.
4 late Information from the
scene states that the hounds
are hot on the trail of tho sup-
posed robbers, nnd It Is now
believed that (hey are local
parties. The posse is nbout
eight or nine miles west of
Yoncalla, nnd a enpture Is be-
lleved certain before morning.
With four of the mall sacks, com
prising the loot taken from the mail
car of the Southern Pacific crack
train, "The Shasta Limited." near
Yoncalla, lato Friday night, recover
ed, Sheriff George Qulne and Deputy
Sheriff Fred Stewart, who have been
on the tr.il I of the hlghwnvnien since
early Friday, reported shortly before
twelve o clock last night thut they
were In possession of valuable Infor
mation relative to the whereabouts
of the fugitives and hoped to have
them In custody today. Taking the
scent for tho second tltno near the
spot where the hnndtts alighted from
the mall car following tho holdup
and robbery, the peniuuuiurv blood
hounds yesterday followed-tho men's
trncks to a point about a mllo and
i half northwest of Yoncalla where
'hey hailed. It was there that the
dogs lost the scent on Hie previous
day, and where the bandits attempt
ed to elude their pursuers by sprink
ling the ground with red pepper.
Refusing to follow tho trail fur
ther, (he dogs we to tied, nnd Sheriff
Qulne Immediately Instituted
search of the vicinity In hope of
llnding the mail sacks. After search
ing here and there for nil hour or
more tho sheriff was rewarded nnd
found l he sack as they had been dis
carded by the fleeing fugitives.
(Examination of the sacks revealed
the fact that they bad been ripped
open, and as- near as can be ascer
tained, several of the registered let
ters containing money uro missing.
In their haste, tho robbers evident
ly overlooked a quantity of valuable
loot, consisting of nackngea contln-
lug jewelry and other articles of
onslderable value. Other packages
had been opened with a knife nnd
the contents pa runny ruined. In
view of the fact thut the robbers
overlooked a portion of the loot.

and are not experienced (rain rob-1
bors an first suspected. Two of the;
sacks were consigned (o San Fran
cisco, another to Sacramento, and
the fourth to Medforrt. Oregon.
Finding the sacks, tho Bheriff be
anie satisfied that tho men had con
tinued their way In a westerly di
rection In hope of reaching Coos
Bay where they no doubt intend to
board ft boat for Ann Francisco or
Portland. Accordingly, Sheriff Qulne
notified Sheriff Gage, of Coos coun-
atid already that othVIal hns as
sembled n posse in an effort to head
off I he men as they pass through
one of the natural canyons west
bound. Sheriff Qulne said last night that
the bandits had practically no
chance of escape nnd would he: sur

this evening In any event tho posses

and entertain little fear (hat they
will resist nrrest. The country be

rugged, but nevertheless Is consdler-
ed Irteitl on this particular occasion.
According to persons acquainted with I
the mountain trails It will he neces-1
sary for the highwaymen to pass

postofflco Inspector Morse, of

and a quantity of the loot In his
nossesslon, said this morning that

complaints were filed by persons
holding receipts for the missing par
cels.

o'rlork th in morning. It in th nlier- ;
iff helt.f that hff In on thp rinht j

hop of reaching th roant. With)
Sheriff fJaet of Coon county, enroute j
from the coast In un easterly direc
tion It appears almost certain that
the bandits will he raptured. The
bloodhounds are snld to have taken
the scent with renewed eagerness
this morning, and are following a
trail which leads almost In a direct
westerly course from Yoncalla.
Considerable excitement prevails
in the vicinity of Yoncalla, and var
ious stories to the effect that the
men had been captured were afloat
there today. Investigated, these
rumors proved false, howover, and
it Is the belief of tho majority that
the sheriff Is on tho right trail, nnd
that he will eventually capture the
much wanted Individuals.
Mall Sacks Found. I
YONCALLA, Juno 19. (Social)
Bright and early yesterday morn-1
ing a posse headed by Sheriff:
Qulne and W. D. Miles, with his I
blood hound, started out In search i
of the bandits who rohhed the Shas
ta Limited near this place a few
nights ago.
The dog was tnken to the vicinity
of J. K. MeClarnun's home, where I
red pepper had previously been I
found, it being the belief of Mr.
Qulne that the missing mail pouches
were In that vicinity. On nrriving
at the spot In question a search was
immediately made with the result
that the mall pouches, four In num
ber, were found Becreted in a wood
ed gully. The sacks had been riTled,
but several registered letters had
been overlooked by the bandits as
they were evidently afraid of being
overhauled.
With this clue at hand tho dog
was Immediately given a fresh scent
and the posse started out with re
newed hopes, but owing to the fact
that the trail was about thirty
hours old It was extremely difficult
for the dog to follow It and mahy
times the posse was forced to beat
around until such time as the trail
could he taken up again. Tho posse
returned to this place Sunday even
ing and reported that the course of
tho supposed trail of the bnndlta had
led them a merry chase nnd had
Hnally taken a southwesterly direc
tion to within nbout one and one-half
miles of this city. '
Alt points of egress from the
mountains nre being closely guard
ed and it will lie pretty hard for
the banditti to make tholr escape
without being seen by Borne one on
guard.
This morning one posse started
out from Drain and another from
this place, each taking a general
westerly course.
