(iy United Press Leased Wire) REDDING, Cal., Nov. 9.—A rain jsoaked posse, guided by biood- hounds, today is hot on the trail of two of the three bandits who last night held up the northbound Shas- ta limited near Delta and escaped into the hille with three sacks of registered mail. The third bandit, whose first name is Frank, was shot and killed by James Yoakum, head brakeman on the limited. Earlier reporte stated that Brakeman Thorb Sanford did the shooting, but investigation today showed Yoakum to be the man who engaged in a duel with the third of the outlaws. The robbery was one of the most daring since the days of the Evans and Sonntag gang. Delta, a little village in the Sierra foothills, was} the spot selected for the holdup. The three men boarded the train shortly before 8.20 o'clock when it stopped for water just before en- tering Delta. As the engine enter- ed the yards, a torpedo exploded, and Engincer Henry brought the! train to a standstill, The bandit) who was later killed by Yoakum) crawled over the tender and cov-) ered the engineer. The other two forced open the doors of the mall} ear, threatening to kill the clerks| if they sounded an alarm.
