holdup has rot yet . been taken down
to identify the men, "and the crew of
the train that was held ud left the city
yesterday afternoon to go out on their
run without having visited police head
quarters. '
The number of fake "clues" that have
bfpn coming - into police and sheriffs
offices was largely augmented yester
day even over the record-breaking list
of the day before. Everybody thought
be or she had seen the train robbers and
many of them were certain they had
thero corralled where the officers of the
law had but to step out and arrest
them.
Tbfcse report, for the most part,
came1 to nothing although some suspi
cious circumstances were unearthed and
the nature of some of the messages re
ceivwd by the sheriff convinced him
that some one was purposely attempting
to throw his men off the trail. ;
Yesterday afternoon deputy sheriffs
were sent out to Vancouver slough,
where It was reported two suspicious
looking men were, camping. The dep
uties found the men, they were unarmed
ttrn had scarcely any money and were
nwf arrested. But that was as near as
anyone cam to arresting any suspects
yesterday..' - : . .Y'' v .
Both tne Pinkerton and the.' special
agents of the railroad and express com
panies are working steadily on clues
that have been furnished them and are
saying nothing as to the direction their
efforts are being bent towards. : The
fact that the three robbers were won
climbing on the train at v4ood River by
the town marshal is the' only tangible
evidence they have divulged so far.
