CALIFORNIA BANDITS Locomotive Pilot Refuses to Stop Train; Mail Sacks Rifled By Duo Martinez, Cal. June 22—(?)—A Southern Pacific local train en route from here to Tracy, was held up near McAvoy this morning by two men who shot and wounded J. H. Barnes, the engineer, and rifled mail sacks of | all registered letters. The robbers boarded the train at | Baoy Point where they had purchased tickets for Pittsburgh, California, near McAvoy. Reports to the sheriff here said the men had an automobile with a machine gun mounted on it. ‘They ordered the train\stopped at this point and when the engineer re- fused he was shot in the arm. The engineer was then forced to back his train to the point where the machine gun was located under cover. ‘When the trair stopped one of the robbers got off and manned the gun, covering the train, while the other rifled the mail sacks. The value of the mail taken could not be estimated definitely, but was expected to amount to several thousand dollars. After the robbery the men drove away in their car. The engineer was brought to a Pittsburgh hospital where it was said he would recover.

Six Separate and Distinct Acts - THE FLYING MILLER The Flying Millers is an attraction of unusual merit. The apparatus, or acrial rigging, used by the Millers, is the highest and most imposing structure of its kind now in use by any acrobatic act. It was especially built for them, as the steel uprights had to be tested and guarantecd to withstand the great strain imposed on them by the athletes. Pcrhaps there is no onc thing in a circus that makes such a hit with the crowds as an aerial act of the type of the Millers, It is known in the show business as a “flying and re- & Accuracy, daring and B. strength ate factors that make for a good performance of this kind. turn act.” [_______Architecture—in the Best Modern Manner | MYSTERY ENVELOPS ee Well, if six such pretty girls are going to make artistic whoopee in public, there's no more suitable place for it than at a museum of art.
