lying here entirely undeveloped. The

When he announces that bo has en

In the convention tho progressives

DRAIN. Ore., June 17. Desplto
the fact that the whole countryside Is
on the lookout for the two robbors
who held up and robbed the mall car
of the Shasta Limited at midnight and
escaped at Yoncalla, no trace of the
fugitives had been found up to noon,
according to reports received here
from several posses now In tho field.
The main posse which 13 headed by
Sheriff George Qulne of Roseburg
is beating the bush In the hills back
of Yoncalla. Many persons believe
that the robbers were assisted to es
cape by others and that they had
horses or an automobile waiting ueur
Yoncalla.
Posses on Trail.
Advices from Yoncalla tonight say
that Sheriff Qulnn and his posses
have not as yet returned. Two blood
hounds were received at four o'clock
this afternoon and immediately put
upon tho trail of the robbers. On a
hill a short distance northwest ot tho
city tracks were found whero the men
walked up backward. On top was
found where the men turned about
and walked forward. It Is supposed
that they did this as a ruse.
It Is thought that these two woro
a part of a larger numbor who robbed
a general morchandlso storo at Drain
last night taking several suit cases,
clothes, shoes and tho like. It Is al
so believed that the robbors wanted
to leave the train at tho top ot Rice
Hill instead ot Yoncalla whoro thoy
got off. It Is bolleved that the rest
of tho band was to meet them thoro.
Tho southbound Shasta Limited
which loft Portland Friday night, was
held up and the mall car robbed by
two highwaymen shortly after 11
o'clock last night between Drain and
Yoncalla. Tho robbers, who were
young men, ontered tho mall car, held
up tho clerks, lootod tho car aud
stopped tho train at Yoncalla. Posses

Yoncalla today.
Tho mon brandished rovolvers but
did not flro a shot. One robber kopt
tho clerks covered whllo tho other
ripped open tho mall sacks and rlflod
their contonts. It Is not known how
much booty tho dosporadoos socurod.
Tho mall cur was tho only ono dis
