TIE BIG BULLION STEAL.
Tie Daring Robbery of the Selby
Smelling Co. at Vallejo, CAL,
Still a Puzzle.
Tx POLICE HAVE COACoCTED 4 THEORY,
They Think that Dick Phelan, n He
Dine Time an Emp!oye of the Sell
by Smelter, May Have Had Hand
In Planning the job.

San Francisco, Aug. S.-The daring
and neutrality-suspicious. rob
bTy of the Selby smelling works at
Crockett, or Vallejo Junction, still
puzzles the police and no clew has
been obtained as to the whereabouts
Of the $2So,O gold bullion taken
from the vault.
Theory OF the Police.
At one o'clock Wednesday morning
Detective Gibson left Crockett to
bring in a witness who, he believes,
caa give information which may lead
to the detection of the robbers. 1t is
row the theory Of the police that
some of the plumber is secreted in the
hills back of the smelling works. A
great effort is being made to learn
the movements of Dick Phelan, a
paroled convict, who is under suspi-
cion. A search warrant was obtained
at midnight, and sloop lying off the
Contra Costa shore was searched, but
no trace of the gold was found.
Hatched in San Quentin.
There is a theory that the plot was
Matched in the state prison at San
Quentin, and attention has been
called to the fact that "Sir" Harry
Westwood Cooper, the notorious con-
Wet, went to the neighborhood of the
smelling works Immediately after his
release from the penitentiary.
Dick Phelan, the lnan who the de-
tectives suspect, was in prison with
Cooper. He appeared in Crockett i'm
mediately after his release and hung
around there for several days and
then disappeared.
Held n Long Conference.
Early Wednesday morning the SUI
perintendent of the plant and all the
detectives on the case held long
conference and the work of the day
was reviewed. The clews obtained SC
far strengthen the suspicion that
Dick Phelan, the paroled convict, may
be the man wanted.
Phelan was released from San
Quentin about six weeks ago on pa
role. Years ago Phelan was employed
at the Selby works, Later he kept a
saloon and lodging house in Crockett
frequented principally by Selby's EN-
ployes. lie then became superintend
ent of the Gold Ridge mine in Sierra
county. There he was in two shoot
ing scrapes. For his connection in
the latter Of these affairs he received
rs years in the penitentiary.
Was Seen at Crockett.
Shortly after his release from San
Quentin he was seen In Crockett by
Bob Hail. his former partner, whr
talked with him. This, so far as
known, is all the detectives have
learned Of his movements. No vessel
except the schooner OccidentalN bound
for Eureka, is known TO have passed
out Of the Golden Gate on Monday
night, and she sailed from Sausalito
on the north side OF the bay.
A First Opinion Discarded.
At first It was considered certain
ty that the gold was removed from
the vicinity Of the works by boat
but this is now doubted,as the thieves
left suspicious trail to the waters
edge. A place where lookout NIGH
have been stationed has been fount
on hill above the works. Here sew
eral empty cartridge boxes were
found.

Atlanta Wagon Road.

The bill appropriating $4,000
toward building a wagon road from
Boise to Atlanta passed both house.
of the legislature, and is now in
the hands of Governor Hunt for his
approval or disapproval.
Senator PurteII opposed the
measure, considering Che interests
of the people generally throughout
Gilmore county, and realizing that
$4,000 would be merely a starter
toward the construction Of the
road, which, if completed, would be
only a benefit to Atlanta and Boise
City, but great burden on the
taxpayers of the county generally
to keep itm repair. Furthermore,
there is now almost an assurance
that the Midland railroad will be
constructed, in which event q
wagon road from Boise to Atlanta
would be useless.
Representative Arthur Davis
earnestly supported the proposition
in the house.
1t is thought by many that the
governor will not approve of the
bill.
