Horace B. Cochran, a State railroad policeman employed in the West Oa land yards of the Southern Pac Company, e tered two highway | men for whom he was looking early this morning, but instead of landing the pair behind the bars, he was him- | self taken prisoner, and, without wea- pon or star, compelled to march to| Shell Mound station, nearly two miles stant This s thieves resuited in their escape, and the police in several counties have been no- tified to watch for them.

The | erime was particularly streets w pedestria bold, as the| brightly ligl.ted and many s were in the neighborhood One of the men wore a red mask, but | the other was not in disguise. Both carried weapons, and when they en- tered they commanded Willilam Wiek- ing, who is a brother of the proprietor and who was in charge of the saloon, to throw up his hands. The sama or- der was given Albert Springer, the bar- r, and Fred Jc lyn, a customer. thieves watched those in the saloon the the bar and in a nervous manner open- ed the cash register and - cketed about $100 in coijp. As eabruptly as they had entered the pair took their de- parture. Once outgide of the door they pocketed their weapons and walked up hth street to Clay. POLICE ARE NOTIFIED. Wieking, when the robbers had de- | parted, called up the pol':> and told what had happened. When the mes- sage was received Night Captain Wil- | orders to as| son immediately issued many policemen as he could muster to- gether to search the city and, If possi- e, to bring in the robbers. Details of officers were dispatched throughout the town, but for about: four hours there were no results. Policemen Hamerton and Thompson were sent to the West Oakland railroad vards on the suspicion that the fugi- tives might make an attempt to leave the city on the first outgoing freight train. road Policeman Cochran on his beat. The officers informed the latter of the saloon robbery look about the yards. that the hunted men were hiding in one and a search was proposed. None of the men had a lantern and Cochran went in quest of one. He had one in a locker at the other end of the yards and started away in the darkness to get it. CAPTURE THE OFFICER. Cochran had not gone a great dis- tance when he was confronted by two men. Both held revolvers in their hands, which they quickly raised to a level with the railroad policeman's head. Cochran was taken by surprise. He asked the men what they wanted and in reply they ordered him to raise It was suggested probably San Francisco Call, | > of daring on the part of the | other passed behind | | on the new clew.

The tramp continued and little was said. Occa- sionally the robbers reminded Cochran that any attempt at trickery would re- sult in his death, but otherwise the men were silent. When within fifty feet of the Shell Mound station Cochran was ordered to halt. He did so, and then he was told that he would be given his freedom. The man who had taken his revolver removed the cartridges from the weapon and passed it back to Cochran. ‘The police badge was not returned. COCHRAN SET FREE. Cochran was glad to get away. started back in the direction he had come, and the men stood side by side with their revolvers pointed at him, calling upon him to make no outery. Finally, when they were out of sight, he broke into a run and returned to the railroad yards. A telephone message was sent to police headquar- ters and more policemen were sent out Those who searched the vicinity of Shell Mound, however, found nothing, the men having made a quick escape. Chief of Police Hodgkins, when he ar- rived at his office this morning, took the case in charge. Detectives and pa- trolmen reported to him the result of their investigations, but no tangible clew was ubtained during the day. One man, Joe Ranken, was arrested in an intoxicated condition and held in order that he might be closely questioned. It is believed that the roblbers board- i ed a freight train and left the county, at the , then took to the He whence Telegrams were sent to Port Costa to | arrest all suspicious characters, but no men answering the description of the highwaymen have yet been located. The police have good descriptions of the men. Wieking and those in the sa- loon could identify the men again and Cochran has a very good idea of the robbers’ appearance. They may be local men, but the detectives are of the opinion that they are strangers in the city, owing to the character of their work. The fact that they immediately made an attempt to leave the city after committing & crime strengthens this theory. COCHRAN'S EXPERIENCE, Concerning his experiences, State {and not ry.

The capital stock is stated at $150,- News of the incorporation of this line, which has for its object the com- pletion of an electric railroad through the heart of Oakland and extending from the water front to the cemeteries, The franchise for this road was granted by the Council and the Board of Su- pervisors almost a year ago. It re- quires the work to be done by October 15, and it is expected that the roads will be completed by that date. The system is commonly called the “corkscrew” line. By taking advan- tage of the provision of the law which enables one company to use the lines of another for five blocks the new corpor- ation can get from the water front through the heart of the city without being obliged lay other than econ- necting tracks with those of ‘the Oak- land Transit Consolidated.
