A STORE ROBBERY.
Unknown Parties Break Into the Store
of William Fisher During the
Early Morning Hours.
VALUABLE SILKS ARE TAKEN
Exact Loss is Unknown at This Time, But
II is SUPP Gsed to be Between
$3.50 and $500.

The store of William Fisher on Main
street was entered by burglars at an
early hour Friday morning and the
robbers secured for their booty large
amount of valuable silks. The robbery
was most peculiar one and thus far
the police have been baff1ed in their
attempt to secure clue that will lead
to the arrest of the criminals.
1t was discovered that the store had
been entered at an early hour. Shortly
after the bookkeeper and cashier came
down to work she discovered that her
cash was some 81 short and one of the
clerks came down from the second
story and stated that leak had been
found in the roof. The two coinci-
dences were put together and awakened
a suspicion in the mind of Mr.. Fisher,
and an investigation was at once
made.
1t developed that the leak had beeu
clused by a trap door leading to the
roof being left open, and when the
proprietor of the store went up to the
roof he found that the wrappers of
several bolts of silk had been left lying
on the roof near the trap door. This
settled the matter, and further in
vestigation of the stocks of silk in the
store showed that the robbers had
made a rich haul. 1t was not possible
for Mr.. Fisher to state this afternoon
the exact amount of the loss, as he
does not know just what was taken,
but the loss is placed between $3.50 and
$780,
The case was at once reported to the
police, but as yet they have not been
able to find any clue which will lead
to the arrest of the guilty parties.
There is no explanation of the manner
in which the men gained their way to
the roof, but after they got there it is
evident that the robbery had been
carefully planned and the men were
well acquainted with the location of
the booty for which they were looking.

ed by the Chinese, and of perils for all

INCIDENTS AT TEN TsIN.
Details of the Butchery on Both
Sides.

Seattle, Wash, Aug. IA special to
the Times from Victoria, p. c., says:
Charles f. Cannon, superintendent
of the American Bible society in China,
arrived at Nagasaki shortly before the
steamer Glenogle left for Victoria. In
terViewed by the Nagasaki Press, cop
les of which reached here today, Mr..
Cannon save some particulars of the
bonn ardment of Tien Tsin
He says that as soon as the Chinese
troops received word that the lombard
ment had begun they Immediately
opened fire on the city. The telegraph,
telephone and railway systems had
been destroyed, leaving the residents
without any means of communication
with the outside world.
The Smelling of the city continued for
twelve days, until not a house stood
but what had received some damage
There were but 700 Russian troops in
Tien TSin, and Mr. Cannon SAYS that
| it was owing TO their bravery that
the lives of the foreign residents were
saved. At the railway station $4,000
Chinese troops were held at bay by
ZOO Russians. Had assistance not ar
rived the foreign residents intended to
shoot all the women and children rath-
err than allow them to fall into the
hands of the Chinese. A number of
men had been detailed to perform this
terrible task.
Many new details of the siege of
Tien Tsin We're received by the Gleno-
gle. News of the fate IF the crew of a
| German PinnaCe, viii L attempted to

Some Chinese hidden - a discarded
fort fired on il. After replying with a
Maxim, the Germans finally ran the
vessel ashore on the opposite bank,
and there the besieged in Tien Tsin
saw them fall into the hands of the
Chinese. They are said to have been
brutally killed.
Another tragic incident of the de-
Tense of Tien Tsin was the sOrtie and
capture of the military 4choOl in which
the Chinese sOldiery had taken position
on the 18th. The Chinese made stout
defense. but inside half an hour the
allies climbed the walls and forced the
gate.
The Chinese then retired to a large
room upstairs, and, barricading them
| selves in, made a last stand, refusing
| to surrender.
An English bluejacket battered down
the door with an ak.

Others were shot but finally an en-

ALLIES BAY0NET
ALL THE WOUNDED

Seattle, Wash, Aug. IA special to
the Times from Victoria. SAYS: Lieu
tenant Won KrOhn, a German officer
who arrived at Yokohama in company
with 300 wounded and incaDacitated
Germans and others on the steamer
KOrn, chartered by the German gov
eminent, in an interview given at YO-
kOhama just before the GlenOgle sailed,
tells Of his experiences with Admiral
Seymour's column:
I'VE did not take prisoners" said
Lieutenant KrOhn. "AS far as the cap
ture of prisoners is concerned, this was
an impOssibility. as the Chinese are not
civilized for that kind of warfare"
Lieutenant Won KrOhn was asked
about the statement of d German that
the Russians had dispatched the
wounded with the butts of their rifles.
The lieutenant said it was not quite
so bad as that, but under the circum-
stances of the present war in China
they had been and probably would in
future be compelled to kill the wounded
with the bayOnet.
In the beginning they had even sent
the wounded to the hospitals in Tien
Tsin. but they soon found out that as
long as man was able to raise a
hand ne would try and stab the for
eigners, and, as moreover, they found
the prisoners very refractory and had
all they could do to attend to them
selves they had been compelled to kill
all wounded with bayOnets.
Frequently they found Boxers who
had taken their red badges and clothes
off in the hope of trying the Amigo"
trick on them, and while the trick
worked at first the allies soon 'tum-
bled' and orders were given to kill
every Chimes" who would stand. The
Chinese in turn decapitate and mu-
tilate every foreigner who may be
wounded or killed, and who is unfor-
tunate enough to fall into their hands.
On one occasion a large number of
Boxers succeeded in encircling an Ital-
ian officer with eight men and while
four of the men cut their way through
the other four and the officer were sim
ply overwhelmed by the numbers and
literally hacked to pieces with the long
knives of the Boxers. When Lieutenant
Won KrOhn afterwards saw the body
of the Italian officer. his head was
split in four pieces and his entire body
cut I'D.
