Mrs. Holyfleld lived at Drain. Mr. Kant baa owned the car only two months, and it ia said friends warned Mm before be started of the danger of that road knd tried to persuade Mm : not to go. The par waa making an "S" ; turn. The first turn was negotiated ' safely but on. the second turn Kent drove too close to the upper bank. The wheels caught in the loose earth, pull ing the car up the bank and upsetting It before be could control It. Mrs. Holy - field was thrown to the ground, struck . on ber head and broke her neck. The auto then turned' turtle, pinning the re mainder of the party under but not : aeriously Injuring any of them. The party left Drain early yesterday morn ing en' route to Coos Bay.

DARING BANDITS HOLD UP TRAIN IN HEART OF CITY Continued From Page'One. the robber climbed over the tender, and ordered the train stopped, had reached another -telephone and called uu the train dlspatoher who in turn got In connection with Ed Wood, chief of the railway company's special agent- One roooer sent several shots after Monroo as ne ried up the side of the gulch. Within 15 minutes afcr tfie alarms had been sounded a squad of police men under Captain Riley and half a doxen detectives under Captain Baty ar rived in the patrol and In Uainahs. r ' Wood, accompanied by Detective "Dad'' Hunttr, reached the scene a short - time later, and a thorough search was started. The hunt was barely under way when a man believed to have boeu one of the robbers was seen sneaking- up a pathway leading from the guloh to the Twelfth atreet viaduct, and Detectives Hyde and Vaughn, who were stationed nearby, rjred several shots. The only apparent effect the missiles had waa to cause the fellow to accelerate his pace, and he topped the raving on the run and disappeared. Officer Search Helghtorhood. The officers made a thorough search of the neighborhood, find Patrolman Lewis found three grips and a hand bag belonging to one of the robbed pas sengers, Mrs. George Marshall of Janes vtlle, Wis., along the railway right of Way several hundred yards In the di rection of Portland, indicating that at least two of the robbers followed the Uracks back toward Portland as far as irthe Grand avenue viaduct. It U believed they left the tracks at this point and returned to Portland, and acting on this theory detectives, ac companied by Barnett and Eastman, , spent most of the night scouring tlu I) ci r til end. Both boys are under 3u ' jreara of age, and aay they believe thuy can identify the bandits, as they saw them at the Kaat Portland depot sev eral times before the Soo-Spokane ar rived irum ma. vimuu uepoi. v. They insist that there were three men in the party and their descriptions tally well with those wired back by Conductor Ream from Hood River. Their stories also serve to disprove the suspicion that Barron was mixed up In the robbery, a theory whioh was given credence somewhat by the police and - which is now being considered, hut Statistics gathered and published br F. I Hoffman, the well-known life insurance statistician, show that More People Commit Suicide Every Year in San Francisco out of every 1000 inhabitants, than in any other city in the United States. Oakland, California, Is Second Every Oregonian pays for this high suicide ratio if he insures in any life insurance com pany which does business in California.

According to Barnett, he and East man waited for the limited at the east aide station and there saw three men hanging around in the shadows. They noticed that they were hard looking characters and each wore a handker chief tied around his neck. They de cided to "keep away" from them and when the train pulled Into the station took pnins to board it on the aide oppo site to the one chosen by the trio. Kant man "chose the rods of a roach and Barnett-cHmbed on the roof of a coach next to the observation car. He sairT no one was on the roof of the ob servation car, a declaration which con tradicts Barron's statement that he was on the top of the car when the holdup occurred. I The train was traveling slowly up the gulch, and had pone only a short die-' tanco, Barnett eaid, when It halted and the next moment he heard shots. Realiz ing a joldup was being staged, ho slid to the ground and bid under a coach and did not venture out until the rob bers, with the engineer in front of them, went past In the direction of the observation car. Then he ran for the police. Robbers Climb Over Tender. According to stories told by theeng' ne r .and train crew, two . robbers masX'ed by blue bandana handkerchief, climbed over t'.ie engine tender and at the point of revolvers orderej Phelps to stop. He did bo and aa the train. which was traveling slowly, came to halt. Monroe jumped out the cab win dow and sped up the gulch aide, h's flight punctuated by reports from onu of the robber's revolvers, who at tempted to bring the fireman down. Then Phelps waa forced to accom pany the bandits to a point near the rear of the train, where they told him to stand if he did not want to he killed Meanwhile Conductor Ream and Brakenian Abbott rushed through the train shouting "Hold-up-1LH!da your valuables." After Kolnn through the forward coaches they slipped from the train and took a position -by the side ofa coach. With the engineer halted where the robber's guard could watch him, two bandits entered the observation car, and the passengers were ordered to faoe the front of the car. Under the menacing revolver held by the older bandit, a heavy set fellow, the passengers offered rm reststence while his companion went through the only Life Insur ance Company which does business rmlv L.

During the robbery the older man kept cautioning the younger fellow "to keep his feet to the ground," that is not to get excited. After every one had been searched the younger robber said that "picking was awfully slim." and with a depart ing fchot, which hplintered the bookcate In the car they backed out and disap peared, carrying with them three gripe which were later recovered farther down the track. While the duo were operating; in the observation car. another bandit outside kept the heads of paasengeis inside the coach windows, by repeatedly firing his revolver. Whether he shot Barron is not known. Barron was found after they had fled. stretched out on the observation car platform, blood pouring from his wounds. He said he had been shot on the track and had dragged himself on to the platform. - As the man has refused to make a statement every effort is being made to ascertain his Identity. Beyond saying he Is a Mexican, he has refused to say any thing. A purse containing a $5 bill and receipts for two money orders drawn at Hoiiulam, Wash., recently, are the only clues which the police have to work on. Railroad O'fers Reward. President J. O. Fs-H-f- the O.-W. R, & N. has offered a reward of $1500 A special telegram to this effect was sent out to all agents by the company this niornini?. Special agent Wood was very uncom municative this afternoon in regard to the case, and it la believed has valuable Information. Beyond stating that no suspects had been arrested, he declined to talk. The police during the night rounded up the usual number of vagrants, but none of them fit tho descriptions of the two robbers furnished by Ream and Burnett. The npparent bandit leader is de- fscribed as follows: About 40 years of age, dark sandy, stubby mustache and about four days' growth of beard; light oolored shirt, light yellow tie, with small stripes, hair atreajced with gray anuT very short: dark hat, small but tons on eaoh side of hat next to brim.
