While this conference was under way the convention indulged in songs and 8 general discussion. The conference reported later on and recommended that Sunday-school work be vigorously pushed throughout the State the coming year. L. L. Wirt, the statis- tical secretary, orted that out of the fifty-seven counties in the State, nineteen had been thoroughly organized and are identified with the work of the convention.

Logan of San | Guire, the Reed Station train-robber, has | turned out to be an inoffensive butcher by | the name of L. Cohn, who was on his way | to Baden in search of employment. He is | being held by officers at Redwood City, and | it is reported that an officer is on the way | from Sacramento to identify him Constable Martin of Mountain View said | to-day that the man admitted to him that | he was none other than the much-sought | robber, and said he would never be taken alive. Martin says the man carried a | bundle, which he said could not be secured | excerpt at his death. The man only had one revolver in sight, which he was continually handling, and he informed the frightened constable that there were two more in his bundle. | Healso said his bundle contairied dyna- mite, which was to be used in forcing open safes, and if the constable tried to arrest him he would blow them both up. L. Cohn, the butcher, who is being held in Redwood City, stopped .at the New | York Exchange Hotel a couple of days this week and left here yesterday morning, | He carried a bundle of tools and had a 22 | caliber revolver. He rode a wheel and, as | he somewhat answered McGuire’s descrip- tion, Martin concluded he was the robber wanted. Cohen is said to be a great prac- tical joker. At 6 ». M. last evening Chief Crowley re- ceived a telephone ‘message from the | Sheriff at San Rafael that a man answer- ing the description of Braay, alias Maguire, who shot Sheriff Bogard at the train | fobbery near Wheatland, had been ar- | rested at Bolinas and that he was on his way to San Rafael. He requested that an | officer be sent from San Francisco to see if | ne could identify the man. Detective | Egan will leave to-day for San Rafael. CRIME AT HANFORD.
