HUTCHINSON FOR STATE INSTITUTION. Could be Made Self-sustaining, and Would be a Measure of Great Hu manitarian and Economic Benefits —Endorsed by Other Medical Men. Portland.

Sunset limited, Southern Pacific west-bound, was boarded by masked men tear Tunnel No. 7, a tew miles from Paso Robles early this morning and the safe was thrown off The discovery was not made until t n hour later. The amount in the safe is unknown, bfi is believed to be at least >10.000. rcsses have been sent to the scene. I* Boarded Moving Train. While the train was moving slowly up gn de into e tunn«*! the rohhe's boarded it and battered down the large doors to the first express car, in which there are no messengers The door was locked at San Louis Obispo, after several thousand dol lars in money and valuables had been placed in the safe. The train pro cceded northward with the express messengers in the adjoining car to the rear. They noticed no suspicious characters around the station, neith er did the conductor or other train men. It is almost the positive truth that the robbers boarded the train as It was proceeding slowly up the grade. Whei^the tunnel was entered they immediately began their work of breaking in the door, using long iron rods and hatchets. The noise was not heard by any trainmen. They must have worked at the door for 75 minutes at least. The safe was thrown out near a little station called Thiles. in the San Lucia mountains. The sheriff's dep uties found the safe blown open early this morning, and made an immedi ate attempt to trace the robber!. It is believed they live in the vicinity, No arrests were made up to noon. Delay in Discovery. A peculiar thing about the robbery is the fact that it was not discover ed until the train left Paso Robles on the way north. One of the ex press messengers noticed the door had been broken open after the train pulled out for Paso Robles station, and when it reached San Miguel gave the alarm. The engineer and conductor, as well as the whole crew, knew noth ing of the robbery and not one could offer the slightest clew, and the ex press car alone told the story. The Wells-Fargo officials will not give out the exact amount the rob bers secured, but it is known to oe 15 INCOMPLETE I Infamous Instance of Robbery Mr. Whistler Has Not Ad From the Person of a Vic- vanced Far Enough to Make tim of the Disaster.
