Shifting baggage in Hankow, these days, is very dificult owing to the robber tactics of sampan and carry.
Nearly 100 Suspects Arrested. The crime was one of the most sensational in the history of the United States and authorities have been working on it constantly since it occurred Nearly 100 suspects have been arrested at various times, On October 11th, 1823, Hugh; together with his brothers Ray and Roy, at an undetermined point, boarded train No. 13 of the South ern Pacific Railroad, an express and mail train bound for "San Francisco. The trio hid in the blind baggage and just as the training coolies. was emerging from tunnel No. 13 in the Siskiyou Mountains, on the California-Oregon line, Oregon, they held up the train.
At the point of pistols, they foreal the fireman to detach the locomotive and mail ear, and pro- ceed a few hundred yards up the track, leaving the passenger cars in the tunnel.
At this point, the trio cold bloodedly shot and killed S. E. Bates of Dumauir, the engineer and Marvin Seng of Redding, the fire- man. CO. Johnson, a brakeman who had been riding in the forward passenger car, hearing the shots and thinking that terpedas had been placed on the rails, jumped out and ran to the locomotive. Without a word, without giving him a chance to surrender, the bandits fired at Jobason as he came up, killing him instantly.

Dr. Claude L. Wheeler writes:
"The weakened tissues and nerves absorb Sanatogen readily, without causing any strain to the digestive system. The revitaliz ing influence of Sanarogen is often immediate."
Sanatogen infuses into the very cells of blood and nerves exactly those elements-phosphorus and albumin-from which health and strength are derived. When you feel weak or nervous, start taking
·Sanatogen at once. You will enjoy its revivifying influence within a few weeks.
