band'ef outlaws who have been COM
muting depredations all over the
Northwest. The men arrested are
Tom Kunzere, George Iacakri and Cal
Hale.

ing of sherlffs of surrounding counties
and number of detectives, was formed
ON Sunday last and started in pursuit OF
the three men who had been located
by detective. The entire band OF
robbers, whose heads are known to
be in Gillian County. numbers twenty
or twenty-five. 1t is said they
have been operating oil over the Pacific
Coast, robbing banks and holding up
trains. The first clue to the rendezvous
of the gang was obtained by finding Il
horse which one of the Roslyn bank
robbers had left after riding it nearly to
death. After some time it WAS ascer-
Gillian County, Cte. After following
the trail of the robbers several days,
the posse came upon them and an en-
gagement took place in which it Is sup
posed one Of the robbers was wounded.
The next day rags with which the man
had dressed tho wound were found.
This clue was followed up and it was
learned the robbers went toward the
Columbia River. 1t is supposed that the
posse came upon the three men when
they were off guard and captured them
without resistance. 1t was feared that
the remainder of the gang would at
tempt to rescue the prisoners, AZ they
are known to be well-armed and desper-
ate. The three men were Identified by
DR.. Lyons, who was in the Roslyn Bank
at the time of the robbery.

cattle thief, belongs to noted family of
that name. The family consisted of six
brothers, most of whom are hard
characters and long suspected of
various crimes. They are orr n
ally from Missouri. When they
visited neighboring small tewns they
practically took possession of them, ter
ing everyone In truo cowboy style,
shooting glass out of saloon windows,

on which they reside and are owners of
considerable stock. both horses
end cattle. They are supposed
to be the gang who robbed the Enter
prise City bank in Walla Walla County
about year ago; also another bank
near Weser. Idaho. 1t il thought that
the recent train robbery on
the Northern Pacific was COM
mitted by the gang, AZ some of them
are missing from their haunts. The
residents in the vicinity of the gangs
