Oregon's Bold Bandits.

John w. Schultz, President of the
First National Bank of Hillsboro, Ore,
was held up on country road recently
by four masked men. They took him
to clump of brush by the roadside
and having bound him, secured the
keys to the bank and compelled him to
give them the combination to the vault
Two of the men started for the bank
while the others remained on guard
over Mr.. Schultz. The two men re-
turned and said they could not get into
the vault and that Mr.. Schultz had giver
them the wrong combination. After
considerable parleying and many
threats they started with Mr.. Schultz
for town, but when the outskirts OF
the town were reached they turned
him loose and disappeared. There is
evidence that the robbers had been to
the bank, but got nothing.

FOUR PERISHED IN A FIRE.
Fatal Blaze in the Deaconesses' Home in
Cleveland, OHIO.

-Four live were lost by fire in the Deacon
esses Home aud the building, which con-
tanned twelve patients and several nurses,
was destroyed before the flames were extin-
guished.
Tho dead are Albert Almeyer, Minnie Ban
ner, Jacob Krouse and Walter Clark, the last
LADY ei yht months old.
The fire started resumabIy in the base
ment abou. II o'clock. The building was
wooden structure three stories in height and
in an incredibly short time there was little
left of the building but portions OF the side
walls. The flames had gained considerable
Roadway before the persons located on the
tor floor discovered their perilous situation.
1t was then too late to descend by the stairs,
and those upon the floor gave up their lives.
Before the fire department had arrived and
before the flames had reached the outside Of
the building Minnie Banner, one OF the
nurses, appeared at the upstails window and
implored those below to assist her in gett n :

they cried to heras she was but Il teen or six-
teen leet above the broad veranda roof.
81 can't leave my patient" was the reply,
OF the brave woman as she turned to look
back into the room, evidently to quiet the
fears OF Almyer, who may have thought she
was going to leave him. For moment the
brave woman stood looking down into the
crowd below her and then duty triumphed
over her desire to be saved. The smoke was
pouring from the windows about her, and
her white, startled face appeared as picture
In frame OF darkest ebony. Then she turned
into the room and she was seen no more I'M
til her blackened form was carried tenderly
from the building shortly 0fterward.
Aroused by the smoke James Ekret, one Of
the patients CROPPED his way to the side-win-
dow on the second floor and waved his hand
to those outside. His signal was seen and
two men secured ladders which they spliced
together and placed it against the window.
Ehret started to climb down but lost his hold
and was caught by those below.
Four men were taken from the burning
building, one was caught in blanket The
four corpses were taken from the building
before they had been consumed by the fire.

fox, however, is really not silvery, and
