headquarters. There he told his story
He said he thought the men were GO
ing TO Kill him, and that they had taken
s2b cash and a draft for $3.50
Two officers went with Fife back to
the scene Of the robbery and searched
IN vain for the three grafters. The
search was continued around the
streets but without success. Finally
Fife went back 60 police headquarters
to send telegram to Richfleld. Wash,
to stop payment on the draft, while
the officers were looking for the graft
ers.
Fife was talking TO Desk Sergeant
Livingston and suddenly putting his
hand In his coat pocket drew out the
missing draft Seeing that the draft
was useless unless endorsed. one OF the
grafters had quietly slipped 1t back
into Flies pocket Without the latter
knowing t.

however, that during the past week a
number OF suspicious characters have
been hanging about the grounds, and
knowing this the workers have eXer'
cised the utmost care TO See TO II that
strangers were not imposed upon or
taken in by such persons. But despite
the motives of the missionaries there
have been some few visitors who have
