Bandits Strike Express Car for Gold in Disastrous Rail Robbery
A daring heist occurred seven miles beyond Davisville as four masked robbers halted Oregon and Overland trains at Sweep Camp. They forced engineer Hill to uncouple the engine and loaded four money sacks and two gold bags onto the locomotive, then fled with the engine, leaving the rest of the train in peril. Engineer Scott and Fireman Lincoln sustained injuries. Messenger Paige opened the car door under threat, enabling the robbers to seize about 1500 dollars in coin and gold while signaling their escape toward Sacramento. Authorities pursue the bandits as details of the brutal assault emerge.
