FLEEING THUG
IS CAPTURED
Three Men Rob Keeper of
Saloon at Point of RevOl-
yer and Run for Freedom

A bold hold-up in the Mission shortly
after o'clock last night resulted in
the capture of one of three men that
entered the grocery and saloon of
Edward Ringe, 1852 Mission street.
At the time mentioned three men
walked into the saloon, where Albert
Ringe, son of the proprietor, was in
attendance, and called for three glasses
of beer. While young Ringe was in
the act of drawing the beer he was
ordered by one of the three. who -four
ished a revolver, to throw up his hands
and keep his mouth shut. The young
man obeyed with aIacrity and one OF
the thugs walked behind the bar,
opened the cash register and extract
ed $S
Ringe was then backed up against
the billiard table and one of the rob-
bers proceeded to search his pockets.
At that juncture the elder Ringe, hear
ing the unusual noise in the saloon,
came downstairs from the living apart
ment, which is over the store. Hearing
him coming down the stairs, the rob-
bers beat a retreat. They bolted out
of the door and ran up Twenty fifth
street to Bartlett, running along that
street to Twenty-fourth, where they
separated. Just as they turned into
Twenty fourth street, John Henderson
who lives at 3347 Twenty fourth street
caught sight of one of the fellows, who
held a pistol in his hand, and gave
chase. Henderson was told to keep at
a distance or he would get shot. This
threat caused him to slacken his pace,
but, nevertheless, he kept sight of the
fleeing criminal, giving the alarm as
he followed.
The alarm attracted the attention of
w. H. Brucoe, a bootblack, whose
stand is on the street. Brucoe stepped
out and tripped up the fleeing thief,
throwing him to the sidewalk. Before
he had gained his footing, Policeman
James Doran was on top of him and
placed the handouts on his wrists and
took him TO the Seventeenth street sta
tion, where he was charged with rob-
berry. The pistol was found on the
street, where he threw it while being
pursued. The arrested man gave the
name of Alfred Reynolds, but this is
fictitious, as he was recognized as AL
fred Smith, whose brother. j. c. Smith,
keeps a saloon at Twenty-fifth and
Church streets. When searched at the
station IS 40 was found on him.
Smith is well known to the police of

MINERS PERISH
IN SNOWSLIDE
Buildings and Bunkhouses
Are Swept to the Bottom
of Canyon and Demolished

BAKER CITY, Or, March 1.-Two
night at the Queen of the West mine,
in the Cornucopia district, sixty miles
northeast of here. The dead are:
H. W. HOLLAND.
A. c. cox.
Six others were injured, none, how
ever, fatally. The injured: G. w. Es-
tates. Thomas Smith, Thomas Mills,
John Hunt, Frank Larimer, Nels Lund-
strom.
The crash came at $50 o'clock, when
the miners were coming off the day
shift The slide razed the building and
bunkhouses and swept the occupants
down almost to the bottom of the can
yon, hundreds of feet below. The dead
and injured were recovered with diff
Guilty from the debris.
The mine is located in Bonanza Basin,
one mile from the spot where Super
intendent Fred c. Dobler Of the Cornu-
copla mine lost his life year ago. The
snow in the basin was from ten to 100
feet deep. The slide started midway
between the Queen of the West mine
and Summit, gathering mass and mo-
mentum as it thundered down the sides
of the mountain With tremendous
roar the avalanche struck the surface
plant Of the mine and in a twinkling
all that was left to mark the spot was
the office occupied by Superintendent
Bert Smith. Below the mine the noun
tainside is less steep and the slide lost
its momentum, to which fact is at
tributed the saving of the lives of
twelve of the fourteen who made the
wild ride on the top Of the slide.
Every winter an avalanche in Cornu-
copia County claims victims. The
heavy snowfall and steepness of the
mountains make the safety of the min
ers almost impossible. All over the
Blue Mountains this year slides have
occurred with heavy loss of property,
but yesterday was the first loss of life.

GOLDEN WILL
KEEP The PLACE
Successor to Percy V. Long
Is to Retain His Position
as Justice of the Peace

Isidore Golden is to retain his office
as Justice of the Peace in place of
Percy V. Long, resigned, according to
the opinion handed down yesterday
by Attorney General w. S. Webb.
The case is one that has excited
much attention, depending, as it did,
upon what authority was vested the
right TO make the appointment in this
case. The facts of the case are these:
Percy V. Long was elected Justice of
the Peace on November 4. 1902, for
term of two years, commencing
January s, 1903. He filled that posi-
ton until January 2, 1904, when he
resigned. On the same day Mayor
Schmitz appointed Walter Gallagher
to fill the unexpired term. On the
same day Governor Pardee appointed
Golden to fill the office and on jan
uary 4 the Board of Supervisors ap-
pointed Walter E. Dorm to fill the po-
sition.
Thereupon Walter Gallagher,
through his attorneys, James G. Ma
guire and Joseph Leggett, asked per-
mission of the Attorney General to
maintain an action in the name of
the people on his relation against
Golden and Dorm.
The Attorney General in his reply
states that no question is made as to
the qualification of any one of said ap-
pointees, but that the sole question
rests upon the fact of who had the legal
right to make the appointment.
The Attorney General went at great
length into the question and in his re-
ply quoted many authorities upon the
subject at issue, but decided that as
the power to appoint successor to a
Justice of the Peace is not otherwise
provided for in the constitution or
statutes of this State the power is
vested in the Governor and that Golden
is the legal appointee.
1.-The granting of the leave to sue"
he stated, would, in his judgment. be
an abuse of discretion" Permission to
sue was therefore denied.

VINA THIEVES
ARE At WORK
PostOffice Is Broken Into
and More Than Two Thou
sand Dollars Carried Away

RED BLUFF, March 11.-Some time
last night the postoffice at Vina, this
county, was broken into and robbed.
The amount claimed to have been Sc
cured is about $4,000. 500 of which be-
longed to depcsitors and the balance
to the Postoffice Department. The rob-
Der or robbers effected an entrance
through a rear door by breaking out
the glass. A small sheetiron door
between the hall and the postoffice was
opened with cold chisel and the rob-
Der did not have to use force on the
safe, which was a small one, but he
worked the combination, showing
familiarity with the lock or that he
was an expert. No clew is advanced
nor is the hour of the robbery known.
The night was stormy and the streets
were nearly deserted. The registry
window was also broken open, which
leads to the theory that more than one
person participated.
