Orcgon'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.. Schute had given
them the wrong combination. After
considerable parleying and many
threats they started with Mr.. Schultz
Tor 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

an Army Message Taken From Washing

ton to New York by Bicycle.
Washington, D. c., December /
Precisely at Z o'clock this morning the
military relay bicycle ride from this
city to New York was begun, when
a message from General Miles, COM
handing the army, was given in charge
of two members of the local national
guard, for delivery to army head
quarters at New York. This is said to
be one of the longest runs of the kind
that has ever been undertaken, and 1t
has received the official sanction of
the commanding general of the army
and General Ordway, commanding the
district national guard. According to
schedule, the distance is 24912 miles,
and twenty-three hours is allowed in
which to cover it. This is the maxi
mum OF time, and allows plenty Of
margin for improvement. The sche-
dule calls for ten relays between the
two points, the shortest OF which will
be sixteen and one-half miles, and the
longest thirty-five miles. The mes
sage from General Miles was de-
liyered from the steps Of the War De-
partment to Captain S. H. Virgins
and Sergeant r. p Durfee, who were
to carry it from this city TO Columbia
on the road to Baltimore, q distance
of twenty-eight and one-half miles,
in three hours! The message was very
brief, being to the effect that 1t would
be delivered by military cyclists OF
the district, as an indication of the
availability of the bicycle in time or
war. Twenty men will be used in the
ride. Preparations have been made for
PAGERS along the route, and a quick
run is expected.

Infantry engaged in the military road
race from Washington to New York,
who had the relay from Laurel to Bal

ed encOuntering several stretches OF
bad road between the points, and hav-
ing to carry their wheels a great deal
of the way. The journey from here to
Belair. Nd. was taken up by Messrs.
Atkinson and Franz. The next relay
rode from Belair to Havre de Grace,
Md. and the next one from Havre de
Grace to Elkton, Md, which was reach
ed at 1906 p. m. one hour and forty
minutes ahead of time.
Wilmington, Del, December 1.-The
military cyclists in the relay race from
Washington TO New York, arrived
here this evening, one hour and twen-
ty minutes ahead of schedule time.
The Wilmington pacemakers met
Washburn and Gibson at Havre de

ton. where Willis and Bennett took up
the race to this city. Here Moore and
