Warning was received last Saturday
In private dispatches from Kea Blurt
that an attempt 1 would be made to
hold up No.. 14, the Oregon Express
north-bound, at a point near Ager, In
Siskiyou county,: Just 'south of the
Oregon line. The railroad officials
acted on the warning and stationed
extra guards on the train. Special
Agent Horgan distributed the armed
men on the train and was prepared
for an attack, but nothing developed.
It is not known whether the Infor

tlmated by. the railroad people that
guards have . been - on trains every
night since then. "
. Local Southern Paclflo officials say
that the work of investigating the al

the officials at San Francisco as tho
