Sheridan, Or, Oct. 27.-No. def.
4 o ate. clue has bsen gained of the
desperadoes who successfully blew
up the Scroggin bank here early
yesterday morning. 1t has been
ascertained, however, that three
men were seen in the vicinity OF
the Balston schoolhouse about dawn
yesterday. They we're in carriage
and were driving rapidly. 1t cam
not be gained whether these men
were the ones that did the safe
cracking. It is also reported that
two men were seen east of Bellview
mounted on horses. There seems
to be a doubt in the minds of the
police whether the robbers rode
away in a vehicle or on horseb back.
A reward of $500 has been raj.
sed' through the ef3rts of Mayor
Eakin aud today he is in communi-
cation with the county commits
sloners for the purpose of getting
them to add $500.
The bank officials are very re-
ticent over the affair and state that
their loss will probably amount to
about the sum published yesterday
800.
Depositors Of the institution are
not making any demonstration, as
it is known that the loss Of money
will not in any way effect the stand
ing of the concern.
The clerk in the Sheridan House
states that few minutes before the
explosion he looked out upon the
street and saw man standing ON
the opposite corner from the hotel.
Believing that be was late travel
er he paid no attention TO the mat
ter, although tits very unusual
occurrence for people to be about
town at that unseemly hour.
Itis now believed by the men
who have secured the country near
and within many miles of this
place that the robbers have made
their escapsinto Portland, and are
at this time hiding in the city
where detection is less likely to oc..
cur.

PRESIDENT DIAz
PRESID ENT OF MEXICO WAS
FIRED UPON IN STREET
CAR.
Five Shots Were Fired at the Car
by Elias Toscano, Who Has
Bad Record-Tha Oregon
Conspirators.

Guanajato, Mex, Oct. 27.-Great
excitement was CAUSED here today
by what looked like an attempt on
the life Of President Diaz, who was
"a guest of the state government
during the festivities here. The
president, his staff and guests were
passing by the Oantador Garden in
a s.reet-cAr when a man of the low
er class by the name of Elias Tus.
cano approached the car shouting
and fred five shots from revolver
at the car, fortunately doing no
harm.
Paklo Escanadon, of the presi-
dents staff, rushed from the car
and caught the man, wrenching the
revolver from his grasp. The po-
lice took Tascano to prison.
Toscano is man of bad record,
and was but recently released from
prison at Granditas, where he had
served a term for homicide. The
matter will be investigated. One
theory is that Toscano was drunk,
and another that he deliberately
planned to shoot the chief magis-
trate.
The president.remained perfectly
school, and was acclaimed by the
crowd Of citizens showing their JOY
at his escape.
Toscano's evil record makes the
theory of deliberate attempt at as
sassination more probable.
The president has received the
felieitation Of the citizens and ei-
plomatic corps here.

not at that time doing so.

Upon her request, however, Mr..
Moody asked the bank if they
would cash her certificate, and the
bank agreed to do SO. Mrs. Conroy

culated the interest on her certifi.
catea, which she assigned to the
| First National bank of The Dailes
and got written request from Mr.
Moody to the bank to pay her the
money. She took the assigned GER
1tifcate to the bank and received the
money. After she had received
the money aud some time during
the same afternoon she saw Mr..
| Wilson, who had been the receiver
at the bank. and he informed her
that she had not received the full
amount due on her certificate. Mr..
Wilson came to Mr.. Moody and
told him that Mrs. Conroy was
dissatisfied, aud Mr. Moody told
him that as the bank did not desire
to cash the certificate. he had no
doubt that it would return her the
certificate and take the money back.
That was done the same afternoon.
Mr. Moody opened the letter in her
presence which had been addressed
to Mrs Conroy. and gave her the
receipt which it contained, for her
Ito sign, which she did. She then
took the receipt aud mailed it her
sell to the deparime, at Washing
ton. and received the money there
tore 10 due course Of time.
f The charge is that Mr. Moody
withheld from Mrs Conroy the letter
from the department. His coun
ell says, however that be did not
do 50, but acted in the transaction
solely at her own request and with
out any interest whatever in the
matter. The letter was a printed
circular notifying the depositors OF
the fact that the final dividend was
ready to be made, and contained a
receipt for the depositors signature,

he turned over to an emp1oye of the
office with instructions to take them
out, tear the books vertically down

pile the outer half pages. This was
done and the other half pages were
removed with waste papers. A few
days later the covers and stubs OF
the pages were likewise destroyed.

Washington, Oct. 25.-Two
weeks from tomorrow the Fifty
eighth congress will meet in extra
session.. The halls of congress are
ready and all arrangements have
been made for what promises to be
a NEST interesting session.
In the senate there are 46 vacan-
cies to be filled by republicans on
81 committees. The vacant chair
manships are in the places that
were filled by the late Senator Nc
MILAN and former Senator's Mason.
Wellington, Jones Of Nevada,
Pritchard, Dsboe and Simon. There
will be fifty. three committee places
to <be filled by democrats. The
Craftsmanship vacated by Mr.. Vest
on the committee of public health
and national quarantine will be
filled by a democrat. All other
chairmanships will go to republi-
cans.
In the house the republican plan
is TO have very little doing until
the regular SESSIONS
There will be any number of bills
and resolutions introduced in the
House and Senate during the first
few days Of the session.
It is not at all likely that the
friends Of an interoceanic canal by

will allow the senate to waste any

Of this side TO be carried away by the biz

TO hold them. Sales 4p00 bales including
600 to arrive. Quotations 1-16c higher.
Trading in cotton contrEcts opened lively.
Liverpool advanced il pfnts on spots and
