FEATURED
Chief of Police Ketch Is today en
deavoring to trace a Bulck touring
car bearing an Idaho license, which
stopped in this city Thursday night,
following the train robbery and mur
der at Siskiyou. The car was placed
ln a local garage over Thursday
night and left early Friday morning.
Suspicion was aroused, when Clif
ford Jenkins, day manager of the
Roseburg Service Station garage,
read in the News-Review last night
that the robbers who blew up the
mall ear of train No. 13 on Thurs
day afternoon and killed three mem
bers of the train crew and the mall
clerk, had used pepper ln an effort
to prevent bloodhounds from pick
ing up their trail. He immediately
reported that on Friday morning he
had accidentally run across an open
can of pepper tn the rear seat of the
Bulck car which had been stored in
the garage over night, and marked
the fact that it was peculiar that
the men would be carrying pepper
but had no cooking utensils in sight.
This morning when the police
started an investigation and Mr. Jen
kins tried tb find the slip upon
which the car was registered, the
slip could not be found, and it Is
believed that it was stolen by one of
the occupants of the machine.
The car came in about 10:30
Thursday night and was checked In
by A. S. Newman, night floor man.
As each car comes Into tne garage
for storage a slip is prepared and
record kept of the machine. The
lower stub of this slip Is torn orr
snd given to the driver of the car.
The larger part Is filled out wlthj

Bloodhounds today failed to pick up
the scent of the desperadoes. Other
hounds from Seattle and Yreka are to
be given trails later.
Contrary to first belief that the
bandits fled empty handed, Is was
said today by W. (1. Chandler, special
agent of the Southern Pacific com
pany for this division, that they un
doubtedly obtained some loot from the
mall car before it was consumed by
fire caused by the explosion of dyna

have no evidence against either of
them.
ASHLAND, Oct. 13 (United Press)
The bloodhounds were aent back In
to the Siskiyous again today seeking
the trail of tha bandit murderers who
shot down the four Southern Pacific
trainmen during the holdup Thursday.
Thirty alx houra after tha alaylng,
the men respoalble for the cold blood
ed murders are still at liberty despite
the fact that hundreds of searchers
were combing the forests and moun

ASHLAND, Ore., OcL 13. Blood
hounds worked today hi an effort tu
locate the trail of bandits who held up
the Southern Pacific train No. 13 ai
the summit of tbe Siskiyou mountains.
Footprints were found leading from
the eoulh entrance of the tunnel
where the mall car was smashed to
kindling with dynamite.
The trail was seen leading up the
hill from the point In the brush close
to the trac k where a wire led from the
Dlast set under the car and where
the bandits set off the explosion,

abandoned, th.it used to cross the
