He had been asleep when the robbers first went through the car with the train crew, but be saw them as they began taxing valuables rrom-people on their way1 back. He took his pocketbook from a coat pocket, and threw it un der the seat. They searched him, but found nothing. O. T. Harmon of Boise," Idaho, was robbed of $4.10, taken from his pants pocket.

George Otto, a Japanese miner of Salt Lake was riding In the day coach with $4.80 in his pocketbook, and a rilckel in another pocket.

Entrance Secured Through . Rear Car Instead of Hold - ing Up Enginemen,- FAMILIARITY DISPLAYED Knowledge Apparently Fossesed That "Brake TasV Is Hade on. aeon , tain Summit at Xamela. In starting at the rear end of the train instead of from the head, the train robbers who held up No."- 6 near Meacham last higftt made a radical de parture from the conventional method of holding up trains. ? This fact alone shows their absolute familiarity with the lay of the land end the operating methods of the O. W. R. & N. Co. The scene of the rob bery was Just west of the summit of the Blue, mountain divide. Westbound trains coming up the eastern slope from the east are brought to the sum mit with the assistance of & pusher engine and then left to roll their, way down the mountain. By a strict rule of the company the engineer must test his air brakes be fore gathering momentum on the down trip. This test is always made while On the summit at Kamela, a flagman going to the rear end of the last car while the engineer, ' letting the train attain the speed of a man running. applies his air and brings it to a stop for the test. ' It is the "duty of the flagman to stand en the rear platform, see If the brakes work properly on the last car, thus showing that they have worked all through the train, and then signal the engineer to ' go ahead. With heavy, all steel, vestibuled train the rear platform of the last car at this hour would be the only open place on the train. It Is quite evident that the robbers were aware of this fact and made their plans and timed their actions to a sec ond. They invaded the last oar just at the moment it stopepd, made the flagman capitulate and then marched forward, herding the flagman, Pull man and train conductors, porters and a car sweeper before them to the ex press car, At their command .the con ductor was forced to signal the engi neer to stop the train. And so nicely were their plans ap parently madeVthat a fourth man was awaiting them- with horses for their flight. It is believed that only an in timate knowledge of the air test at Kamela and of the surrounding coun try could have made the robbery pos sible from the rear' in the fashion fol lowed by the bandits. The time honored method of holding up trains Is to start from the engine, working backward, the robbers usually ordering the engine to be uncoupled and driven up the track away from (he cars. v. 0.-W.

Man in Deplorable Condition Found Because of Affection of Hose William McCLean, Ashamed to Show Himself on Streets, Hearty Starred. Too proud to face people on the Street, because of an affection of the nose, William McLain, 60 years old. would have starved to death in an old shack below the North Pacific lumber mills, had not neighbors notified the police.

No. 5. rolled Into Portland ex actly on time at 11:40 today, the ves tibules of the chair car and the tourist sleeper adjoining bore much evidence of the desperate battle that raged ear ly this morning between the train rob bers and Deputy Sheriff Charles Mc Duffee of Heppner. Seven shots in all were fired, wit nesses of the shooting stated, and five of the bullet holes were to be seen. unt went inrougn ms weainer canvas of the vestibules where the car doors fit together, one each tore holes in the metal wainscoting of the vestibules of each car, and still another pierced the floor. The two other shots did what they were intended to do, one killing" the big robber and the other woundyjg the officer. Bobbers Make Mistake. The robbers made the fatal mistake of starting from the back end of the train, collecting the members of the train crew and driving them ahead of their drawn weapons through all the other coaches past the many passen gers who were sitting up in the chair car and day coach and who were in a more or less wakeful condition. Thes people knew that something unusual was happening and had time to secrete their valuables In many instances. The big man who. was shot walked behind when the passengers were being robbed, carrying a sack. His partner was ahead with two guns making hur ried search of each victim. Many stoDs were made through the day poach, but stepping into the chair car they saw many women ana cnuaren. Fearing to arouse them, they talked to but one man.. Then they walked on through towards the tourist sleeper. Deputy Sheriff Mcpuffee was sitting in the last tier of chairs on the left hand side of the coach, and facing the rear of the train. The robbers passed him, suspecting nothing and presuming him . to be an ordinary passenger, asleep. Pistol Duel Pought. J. F. Johnson, a machinist of Half way. Or., was sitting in the chair be side McDuffee. The two robbers had just stepped through the door Into the vestibule when McDuffee jumped up, steered across the aisle shielding bis body behind the lavatory- compartment, and sticking his sun around the cor ner, fired once. The big man. with an oath, dropped, dead almost Instant ly. He fell crumpled up in a heap en the trap door on the left hand side of the tourist vestibule. Then McDuffee stepped out towards the vestibule and banged away at the other man, who returned trie nre. Mc Duffee quickly, emptied his Run. in which he had had but four cartridges. He was shot afterwards. The robber surviving was believed to be wounded. He opened the vestibule and ran for ward along the ground to the baggage -car and called off the other man.
