Yoncalla and West Fork Robber
Caught at Chico
NOW IN JAIL AT REDDING, CAI.
Snspected of Robbing Two Trains in This
Centy in June, 1911 Companion
Believed to be Killed '
In a telegram from S. P. Detective
Geo. Green, at Sacramento, Sunday,
Sheriff Qulne was advised that one
of the men who held up two trains
In this county In June, 1911, was In
custody at Chico, Cal. He gives his
name as Fred Martin. His companion
la thought to have been killed by S.
P. Brakesman Jas. Yokum, during
another attempted train holdup near
Slssons about a year ago. Martin
was arrested at Marysville, Cal., In
1907, for robbing box cars.
Early on the morning of June 16,
1911, the two bandits entered the
mail car of the southbound Shasta
Limited train at Drain, while the
train was stopped at the water tank
there. They robbed the registered
mail and left the train at Yonculla,
and thence escaped with their booty.
Only 12 days later, on June 28, the
northbound train No. 16 was similar
ly robbed at West Fork, the malls
again being thoroughly rifled. No
definite trace was found of their
trail from there, and it was presumed
that they got out of the country in
a box car or on the "blind" of a pas
senger train. A large reward waB
offered for the bandits, both by the
Government for robbing the mails,
and by the railroad company, but
without results, up till the present
time. An examination of the suspect
was to be held at Chico by the de
tectives today. He will be brought
to Roseburg for trial.
This afternoon Sheriff Qulne re
ceived messages from Redding, Cal.,
stating that Fred Martin, alias Fred
Stuart, the accused train robber, had
been brought to the county Jail there
from Chico, by Deputy Sheriff Welch,
and Special Agent C. C. Cain, of the
Wells, Fargo Express Co. Cain took
part in the search for' the bandits
here in 1911. Sheriff Qulne was asked
to take up the matter here with Spe
cial Agent Clody. of the Wells, Kargo
Co. Chief of Police Goe, of Redding,
Is also taking an interest in the ex
amination of the prisoner there. It
iB thought here that the "third de
gree" may be resorted to there to get
information or a confession from
Martin.
The rewards for the two bandits
are said to aggregate about 3200 for
each.
The Yoncalla Robbery.
The bandits performed these rob
beries unmasked. The first took
place between Drain and Yoncalla,
while the train was in motion, and it
occurred about 11:30 p. m. In the
mall car were tnree cieras.
Grimes, John Myers and James Gray,
all of Portland. They secured all the
registered mail in two pouches, and
stopped the train with the emergency
brakes about 150 yards from the
station at Yoncalla, asking if they
were going up Rice Hill, showing that
they were somewhat famlllnr with
the country. One robber guarded the
three clerks In one corner of the car
while the other went through the
mail sacks. , .
For several days posses followed
their trail, over into the mountains

The Went Fork Holdup.
On the night of June 28, two ban

The train was in charge of Conductor
W. B. Johnston. The robbery oc
curred between 9 and 10 o'clock at
night. An attack was also made on
the express car, in charge of Messen

Ben David. As the car was made of

burden in most instances, and should
not be continued. Indeed, It is held
that some of them, at least, hamper
instead of help in their so-called lines
of industry, in uddition to being a
burden upon the taxpayers. Indeed,
there has gotten to be so much "regu
lation," as well as so much taxes,
that investors hesitate to start many
lines of industry. Therefore the
progress of the state is actually being
retarded. In consequence, uny man
who has been a member of the last
few sessions of the Legislature,
while these abuses have been grow
ing up, is looked upon with much
discredit by the voters. And who
can blame them?
