MEN PUT PEPPER IN TRACKS Looting of General Merchandise Store In Drain on Same Night as Train Trick Believed Work of Same MenDogs Out Today. ROSEBURO. Or, June 17. (SpeclaL) Sheriff Quine and Deputy Sheriff Stewart, who are on the trail of the two highwaymen who held up the Shasta Limited near Yoncalla last night, reported late tonight that they had struck the trail of two men who went west from Yoncalla. The highwaymen walked backwards up a hill for half a mile to throw pur suers off the trail. A hole In the toe of one of their shoes easily gave them the right track. That they are amateurs Is evidenced by the fact that they were so easily deceived by the postal clerks, aa to tho location of the train. They asked to be let off the train at Rice Hill, but Instead they let them off north of Yoncalla, at which place they Immedi ately took to the hills. The track was discovered by the hole In the shoe, which showed very plainly where they got off. Two sacks of registered mall was all that was taken. Men Wore No Slasks. The-tw me who did the Job wore no masks. In the car were three mail clerks. Samuel Grimes. John Myers and James Grsy. all of Portland. The robbers are described as middle aged, both unshaven and of medium height. They boarded the train at the water tank and covered one of the clerks with a gun. Nothing was known of their appearance by the train crew, and aa the other clerk did not know of their appearance and why his companion stood with both hands high In the air, he began to "guy" him. but shortly discovered It was no Joke, for he. too. waa ordered to put his hands up. which he did. After securing the two registered pouches the men Joked with the mall clerks and rode about eight miles, when they ordered them to stop the train at Rice Hill. The first call to the engineer was not heeded, when another order was given to stop the train or be shot. Then the emergency brakea were set and they stopped in the city limits of Toncalla about 11:30 o'clock. A general store In Drain was robbed the same night, with much booty con sisting of clothing and suit cases and a lot of cutlery and some firearms. It Is believed that the two men are ac complices In this robbery, and had agreed to meet the other members of the gang at Rice Hill, as evidenced by their request to be let off the train there.
