Among the through passengers on the over- land train held up last Thursday night west of Sacramento were Mr. and Mrs. R. F. Steele, newspaper people from San Francisco, stopping now In this city. To a Bee reporter Mrs. Steele gave the following account of the big hold-up, the full details of which, as described by an eye witness, appear for the first_time in this paper. “We had lefe the fertile ranch district of Alameda county and were runnigg through the vast selt marshes of the Sacramento valley when the attack occurred. As the long tralu approached the trestle over the cramento river the engineer descried a igure near the bridge wildly waving a red lantern in signal of danger ahead. Scarcely had the train come to a standstill when two men boarded the cab from either side, and, thrusting revolvers into the faces of engineer and fireman, ordered both to walk on before to the express car. Here they were told to inform Express Messenger Page that their brains would be blown out in exactly two minutes if he failed to open his door in that time. “The messenger inside, hearing low voices near and suspecting a hold-up, opened a ran- dom fire through the door, which was re- turned with Interest from the bandits. Not less than a dozen shots were fired in quick succession, and the glass windows In the door were completely shattered before Mes- senger Page learned of the jeopardy of the engineer and fireman. On being informed that his car would be blown up with dyna- mite it he longer resisted, Messenger Page drew back the door. Coolly the robbers com- pelled the engineer and his assistant to carry the heavy express box to the cab of the engine, and afterward to un- couple the engine. The taller of the two daring highwaymen then threw open the throttle and in a second the engine was speeding away toward Sacramento. The train men made no effort to go to the assist- ance of the three captives, with the excep- tion of the conductor, who stepped down when the first shots were fired, but was in- stantly ordered aboard by the robbers. The passengers took the whole matter as a joke, and many enemies of the Southern Pacific openly expressed the hope that the boys would get away with the ‘boodle.’ ““The bandits ran the engine about two miles toward the city to a point quite clear of the marshes. After removing the heavy box, which contained nearly $63,000 in gold and silver, they reversed the engine and sent it back alone to the traln. Although it was well neigh ‘dead,'in rallway parlance, the tender crashed into the express car and wedged itself so firmly that any attempt to draw the train would have resulted in a w Happlly, the Oregon express from 'Frisco came up behind, and with the aid of a switch engino sent from Sacramento to ascertain the cause of delay, the overland was towed safely into the city. ““While awaitiug the return of the engine stolen by the bandits, the train crew discov- ored @ trackwalker in the bushes, tied hand and foot and gagged. When the man was released, he informed the conductor that he had been captured an hour before the over- land was due at the bridge. Two tall men, wearing linen dusters and white masks, stopped his railroad bicycle, took off a wheel and threw the machine down the embank- ment. They then tied and gagged him and took away his red lantern, thus effectually preventing him from giving the alarm to the oncoming train. The majority of the pas- sengers disagree with the detectives and believe the robbers removed the gold to a conveyance in hiding at the point to which they ran the engine, and then drove quietly into Sacramento before the alarm was given in the city. Although it was a neatly exe- cuted job, when you think of its being car- ried out by two men against a train load, with probably many firearms in the lot, and the eastern passengers carried away g large portion of the express door, which was riddled by bandit bullets, as souvenirs of their first hold-up.” — Purify your blood, tone up the system, and regulate the digestive organs by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla.

K. Bradshaw, Formerly of Gentry County, Will Provoke Exten- sive Litigation, ST. JOSEPH, Oct. 16.—(Special Tele- gram.)—~Two young men who gave their names as FEdward and Sam- uel Bradshaw have arrived in this city from Liverpool, England. The object of their visit to this country js to claim the estate of their uncle, L. K. Bradshaw, who was murdered in Gentry county, forty miles east of this city, ten years ago. Stranger than fiction is the life story of the deceased Bradshaw, and the tragic end of his eccentric career will doubtless al- ways remain an impenetrable mystery. Barly in 1860 Bradshaw went to Gentry county He Lad little to say and moved about in a mysterious manner. Soon after his arrival he purchased 640 acres of farming land ‘n what was at that time an isolated part of cation with his neighbors. Young men of that locality were employed by Bradshaw as farm hands during the busy season, but he never gave them an opportunity to enter the cabin. The old man spent but little money although the annual income from his exten- sive farm was large. MURDERED IN HIS HUT. Bradshaw kept a bank account, and for many years prior to his murder it was gen- erally known in the neighborhood that he had enormous wealth buried on his premises. In February, 1884, he was murdered in the hut in which he had lived. Owing to the fact that he had no visitors the crime was not discovered for several days, Farmers passing the place noticed that Bradshaw's tle were starving, and a delegation of citizens visited the place and entered the mysterious cabin. On the floor they found the body of the peculiar old man, his throat eut from ear to ear. The burned prints of a fire shovel were plainly visible on different parts of his body, and the soles on his feet had been ooked. It was plain that the murderers had tortured thein vietim with fire before Killing him. He had been tortured, presumably, for the purpose of making him divulge the hid- ing place of his hoarded wealth. In one cqrner of the room a plank had been torn from the floor, and further inves- tigation showed that the plank had served as a covering for the entrance into a hole about four feet square, walled with brick. Inside were two large tin boxes, the lids of which had been battered with a hatchet and torn off. The boxes were empty, and several gold coins were found scattered abont, showing beyond all doubt that the murderers had found the hiding place of Bradshaw’s money. How much he had hoarded and buried there may never be known. but the two boxes doubtless con- tained ‘several thousand dollars. MURDERERS ELUDED OFFICERS. For years the authorities made every ef- fort to find the perpetrators of the awful crime. and the county and state authorities offered large rewards, but the identity of Bradshaw's murderers remains a secret. Dl- igent search failed to find any relatives to claim the large estate he had left. At the expiration of ten years the land was sold by the sheriff of Gentry county under the law of the state and the proceeds turned into the state treasury. The young men who have come to claim the estate ‘are positive that Bradshaw was their uncle. They admit that several points bear- ing on the relationship remain to be substan- tiated before they could establish their claim in law, and on account of the ten years allowed by law having expired before the land was sold, they will take legal advics before instituting proceedings to recover the fortune from the state. From these two young men it is learned that their uncle left England in 1864, on ac- count of disappointment in a love affair. On the day set for his mariage his bethrothed, who was much younger than himself, eloped with another suitor. From that day he was morose and despondent, and as soon as pos- sible left England for America. He never had any communication with his relatives in England, and they had no knowledge of his whereabouts, — Singing Edgemont’s Pralsos. The party of twenty-two eastern capitalists, which went to the Black Hills one week ago, chaperoned by Mr. Francis C. Grable, re- turned to Omaha last night and registered at the Millard, where all of the gentlemen will remain until this evening, when they will leave for their eastern homes, In speaking of the trip last night, all of the gentlemen expressed themselves as being delighted with the trip, saying that until now they had nover realized the vast resources of Ne- braska and the northwest. From Omaha they went on a Burlington special to Sher- idan, thence coming back to Edgemont and from there to Spearfish, Lead City, Dead- wood and Hot Springs. All were loud in sing- ing the praises of Edgemont, saying that théy had invested the sum of $30,000 in the little city, and that they would plant more of their ‘wealth there ere long. All of the property will be improved, and among the buildings which will be erected will be a hotel, an opera house and & number of busi- ness blocks, together with a knitting mill and a tannery. Every man in the party predicts that ‘the town must soon become the metropolis of the Black Hills country, the location and natural advantages being such as to command tho trade of an im- mense section, reaching far toward the Pa- cific coast. —_— Oregon Kidney Tea cures all kidney trou- bles.

The fabri- cation of the complex and accurate machin- ery necessary to make the new weapon re- quired much time, but now the plant is in running order. The output s about 2,00 arms per year. As fast as the arms are completed they are issued to the troops, and at this rate it will be about a year before our small army s brought up to a modern standard, being supplied with magazine guns. When this work is accomplished the ord- nance officers will turn their attention to the militia. A sample weapon has been sent to the Natlonal guard of each state so that the men may famillarize themselves with it, but at the present rate of output it will be sev- eral years at least before they can all be sup- plied. This fact has decply Impressed some distinguished military men in Washington, taken [n connection with the rather start- ling suggestion made by General Schofield in his annual report, just published, touch- ing the lack of our army in numerical strength, and his comparison of the United States with China from a military stand- point. It has always been the proud boast of the public men who have resisted the es- tablish good standing army that in tile attack the government could secure 1,000,000 volunteers in a day. To this the military experts of today are replying by the question: “What are we to do with these raw volunteers, and how shall they be armed?” One of the most distinguished tacticlans now living, who is perhaps more familiar with our militaty resources than any man in this country, has asked this question. Fol- lowing out in his line of reasoning, he made a rather surprising observation. Sald he ‘Having in view the incompletencss of our scheme of coast defense, and the absolute insignificance of our navy, when compared with the magnificant navies of Ei 1 have no hesitation in saying that it is en- for at least two of the nations land 250,000 troops on our At- lantic co To these we can oppose about 50,000 soldlers, 20,000 being regular army and 30,000 militia, for I am convinced that is about our effective military strength in an emergency. In the course of time we could add a great number of raw volunteers. But the latter we cannot arm and equip. It repuires, as you see, much time to do this, and I am of the opinion that the foreign in- vaders would be able to occupy St. Louis before we could make the arms, for, of course, we would be prevented by the neu- trality acts from purchasing abroad. I be- lieve that General Schofield rather under- stated the case in comparing the United ates with China, put the fact is, we are not nearly so well prepared by land or sea to resist an attack from even one European power as was China to resist Japan. The disproportion in effective force is even greater, and for the Unitel States to rely upon its latent power and on its vast popu- lation and wealth, is as wrong as China's reliance on the same fact of Europe t TOTAL OF TRE APPROPRIATIONS, Com ttees of the House and Senato Ix « Staten WASHINGTON, ‘Oct.' 16.—The anmual vol- ume of appropriations, new offices, etc., re- quired by law tol be prepared under the direction of the committees on appropriations has just been completed by Mr. T.

The attoreny general in his letter urged that the legal services of these attorneys be ex- nded when proper to the defense of cases ising out of the depredations of the various tribes. The acting secretary says there are no persons who hold authority from the goy- ernment as legal advisors to Indian tribes In general; for that matter, the government has in numerous cases refused to approve contracts providing for the employment of counsel for general services. The only at- torneys whose employment requires them to assist in the defense of depredation suits in the employ of Indian tribes and recognized by the department’ ‘are General Halbert E.

At least three schoon- ers are known to have been wrecked. There are grave reasons for believing that the American ship, Ivanhoe, has been lost, with all on board, and there is little doubt that the Southern Pacific raft of 10,000 spars and piles, valued at over $30,000, has been broken by the elements.

One seaman was drowned, Reports were also received here this after- noon of the wrecking of the schooner Portia at Stewait’s point. Her bottom was knocked out on the rocks, and her crew narrowly escaped with their lives. It is also reported that the schooner Elfrita was driven on the rocks near Cambria, on the San Luls, Obispo county coast. A few minutes after the crew left her she broke in two and went down. The American ship, Ivanhoe, coal laden, gale since rom Seattle for this port, which has now been out twepty-one days, Is almost cer- tainly lost. Captain C. E. Griffin com- manded her, and she carried a crew of eigh- teen men. ~Colonel Fred Grant, one of the proprietors of the Seattle Post-intelligencer and ex-minister to Bollvia, was a passenger on the Ivanhoe, having embarked on her to enjoy the novelty of a sea voyage. A mast and yards, painted yellow, and believed by seamen to be part of the rigging of the Ivanhoe, have been sighted off the Oregon coast. A floating deckhouse, painted as was the Ivanhoe's, was also scen in the same locality. ASTORIA, Ore., Oct. 16.—The steamer P. P.

After crossing Tillamook bar, she struck a hove-in sea, with a stiff northwester blowing, which soon increased to a perfect hurricane.
