AT the time of the Shelton postofice
robbery Edward Nolan, one of the rob-
bers, was captured after being shot.
The scene of the shooting was some
miles from Kamilche, up in the woods.
While Nolan's captors were arguing
as to the best manner of getting the
wounded prisoner to Karnilche, George
s. Horton, of Belmore, came along in
light buggy. Here was the apportu-
nifty the mans captors sought. They
arranged with Horton to take Nolan
into the rig with him and they walked
alongside. 1t was dark at the time
and occasionally the captors would
fall few feet behind the buggy.
During one of these intervals Nolan
confded to Horton the fact that he
had 500 of the money stolen from the
postoffice on his person. Then the
desperate made proposition to- Hor-
ton, which, he says, Horton accepted.
Nolan was to give the 500 to Horton
to keep for him. If Nolan was to Ego
over the road'' Horton was to keep
the money. If in any ma nner the
wounded was to escape the laws
meshes he was to call for the 800,
after allowing Horton a respectable
sum for his trouble. All this CONVEX
sation was unknown to the officers. |
Horizons cupidity, according to~Nolan,
got the better OF his judgment and he
accepted the money on~.the considera-
tons laid down by Nolan. Nolan was
safely lodged in jail at Shelton short |
time thereafter and Horton came to
Olympia, thence going to Belmore.
About a week ago Nolan ''gaye. the
snap,away" to Sheriff Vogtlin and |
Postmaster Munson OF Shelton, and |
they arrived in town yesterday on a |
search for Horton and the money.
They went to Horizons. home at Bel
more, and demanded the money.
Horton at first denied having the I
money, but later admitted it but would |
not give it up. The sheriff stated to !
him the danger he was running and
showed to him that he was guilty of a |
crime against the federal statutes. |
Finally Horton agreed to come into |
town and see an attorney. Evidently |
he was given some good advice, as a
short time afterwards he turned the
500 over to Sheriff Vogt1in and POST
master Munson, who left with, it for
Shelton on the evening boat. There
is probability that Horton is not out
of the woods in the matter, as the fed
eral authorities are noted for not con-
doning offenses of this character..-

Witnessed a Cyclone.

kREMLIN, 0. T. June 5th.
EDITOR, We were eye-witnesses to
a terrible cyclone on the evening of
May 9th. 1t struck the southwest
corner of Garfield County, about eight
miles west of Kremlin, sweeping over
an area one-half mile wide and about
twenty miles long. At least ten farm
houses were totally destroyed, one
large new house was moved from it's
foundation, while several were un-
rooted. Barns, blacksmithshops, wind
mills and orchards were left in ruins
all along the route of the. cyclone.
Hundreds of acres of wheat aud corn
look as if they had been beaten and
torn down with mud Buggies,
wagons, farm implements, furniture
and dead chickens were scattered
everywhere for miles. There were
quite a number OF cattle aud hogs
killed, but no human lives were lost.
Almost every farmer has cave to go
into when storms come and the people
escaped that way. The cyclone cloud
when it struck, looked like black
funne1-shaped mass reaching from
earth to sky.
While the cyclone was-in progress, a
severe thunder and hail storm struck
at the same time few miles north of
Kremlin. Two houses were struck by
one man was seriously in
jured, and the hail damaged the crops
considerably.
We have had lots of rain lately so
the farmers expect good wheat and
corn in this neighborhood. The eli
mate is very changeable with an
abundance of wind. Respectfully.

Winds Of Hood Canal.

The winds on the canal are some
singular at times. Sometimes the
wind will blow from the south at Union
City and Hoodsport, while at the same
time it will blow from the north at
Brinnon, twenty-five miles further
down the canal, although it is very
straight during that whole distance.
The meeting place is often near the
Humahuma, but sometimes several
miles from that place. Boats, too,
have been seen sailing one way on one
side of the canal. and the other way
on the other side, at the same time,
although the canal IS only. a mile. a
half or two miles wide, and sometimes
the boats have been only few hundred
yards apart. The cause of this is pro-
badly the way in which the wind,
especially west one, comes through
the Olympic mountains The Skoko-
mish river runs south, then bends to
the west, and at last enters the canal
while running in a northerly direction.
The wind evidently bends around
with this valley and enters the canal
as a south wind. Other valleys, as
that OF the Humahuma, Duckabush,
Dosewalips and Quilcene, run more di-
rectly east, bending often "a little to
the south; hence the wind enters the
canal more in northerly direction.
When the north and south winds meet
sometimes one conquers on one side of
the canal and the other on the other
side, and so one boat sails north and
the other south, although not We ry
far apart.-P.-I.
