DROPPED FROM SIGHT
Canadian Pacific Train Robbers
Have Completely FOiIed
Their PurSuerS.

Bellingham. Wash. Sept. 13.-The
three bandits who saturday night held
up the Canadian Pacific train at Mis-
sion, near Sumas. are believed to be
still within the boundaries Of Whatcom
county, but they have completely
dropped from sight, and not the slight
est additional clue has been obtained
by the posses or their purSuerS, who
are becoming more numerous each
hour Interest is stimulated by the
offer of $4,000 reward by the Canadian
Pacific railway and the Dominion En-
press company, in addition TO $500 that
the Canadian government offers for
each man captured. In the woods
about where the bandits are supposed
10 be hiding. there are many cabins left
by deserted logging camps, in one Of
which they are believed to be conceal
ing themselves by day while they for
age at night
The theory is gaining ground that the
gang has separated and the individual
members are enieavOring TO make their
way out of the country. each with his
share of the $500 in gold dust and
money obtained from the express car.
1t is also believed possible that the
robbers are working toward Point
Roberts with the idea of escaping in
fishing boats.

WALKER CAUGHT AFTER LONG CHASE
BY OGDEN SHERIFF IN IDAHO TOWN

far enough TO ascertain that he was
heading for American Falls, and thy
were twenty-fOur hours behind him
The only way they could head him off
would be to catch the train at Collins
ton and reach American Falls ahead
of him. Collinston was thirty-hvC
miles away, but the officers made the
ride in little less than eight hours
and caught the nOrthbound train at
J 80 in the afternoon. They came INTO
American rails by train just as Walk
er was putting his horse up in the sta
Bile. They followed him to his hotel
and had the room next 10 his assigned
TO them. Just as they were about to
make the arrest Walker got the land
lady between him and officer Belknap
so as to secure a temporary advantage.
JOsephsOn came uD on the other side
and the two officers grapple1 with their
man. He struggled 10 get hold of his
gun, but was soon overpowered and
handcuffed The officers brought him
back to Pocateilo. where they stayed
over for twelve hours to sleep. as
neither Of them had had a moment 5
rest since Sunday morning, it then
being o'clock Tuesday morning.
Walker is charged with stealing 100
head of sheep from the herd of Tom
Ballentine at Monte Christie, but on the
occasion of a number of his gun plays
he declared that the officers wanted TO
take him back 70 Kansas on a more
serious charge: and this is the reason
that he said he would not be taken
alive. The prisoner denies that his
name is Walker, and states that it is
Young.
Incidentally. Belknap also found
Ralph Douglas at American Falls, and
brought him back to answer TO a
charge OF footing a barber shop at
Mercur; and Josephson found a team
of horses that had been stolen from
Glover's livery stable in Brigham, and
left at a stable in American Falls.

mand that she be forced to leave with

the necessary repairs to be made and
also to allow the Lena 10 take ON board

believed, however. that Russia would
object to the stipulation that if the
Lena is allowed TO coal that the ship
shall undertake not TO interfere with
neutral commerce pending her arrival
at a home port.
In unofficial quarters there are two
versions of the Lenas mission. Ae-
cording to the one which is most gen
orally accepted, the Lena was sent out
to stop cOntraband of war bound for
Japan, possibly as in the case of the

OFFICIAL ACTION.
State and Navy Departments Hand

Washington, Sept. 1S.-The develop
ment OF the day SO far as it related 10
the Russian cruiser Lena at SAN Fran
cisco was the clearing up of the Off
clal muddle arising out Of the doubt as
10 which of five departments Of the
government should deal with it. Ii was
finally decided by the president that
the state and navy departments should
treat the case, acting jointly. a decision
calculated greatly 10 simplify its han
ding.
over night came a telegram from
Admiral Goodrich at San Francisco
showing that on his own initiative he
had caused one Of his expert officers To
make a preliminary examination of the
Lena and that temporary repairs would
occupy six weeks time and that new
boilers would occupy eight months de-
lay. The president approved the az
miraIs action and decided that he
should continue 10 handle the case in
san Francisco under Instructions from
the state and navy departments
This involved a further expert exam

eminent nd not object; at least the
Russian consul al San Francisco gave
that understanding and within a day or
two. with the assistance of expert me
chanics from the Union Iron works.
Admiral Goodrich VIII be able 10 report
more closely on the repairs. The ad-
miral also adopted the precaution OF
guarding the Lena with his own yes
sells, j course also approved by the de-
partment.
Agreeable 20 the presidents instruc-
uons, Acting Secretary Adee for the

or more japanese cruisers would be or

BOILERS NEED REPAIRING.
Russian Auxiliary Cruiser Found to
be in a Bad Condition.

Washington, Sept. 13.-SecretaFy Nor
ton today received a report from Rear
Admiral Goodrich, commandments
of the Pacific feet. stating that he had
an inspection made yesterday of the
Russian ship Lena, and that she was
genuinely in need Of repairs. The re-
port shows. further, the nature of the
repairs said TO be necessary, but the
officials of the navy department de-
cline TO make this part of the telegram
public. The report has been referred
TO the state department for action.
Admiral Goodrich's report shows that
to make temporary repairs to the boil
ers and machinery of the Lena, ac-
cording TO the naval experts opinion,
would require about six weeks time.
The captain of the vessel claims that
it needs new boilers and. if the request
to be allowed to put these in as ar
ranged is granted. no less than eight
months time will be required to make
the change. State and navy depart
ment officials were in conference this
morning and the indications were that
the temporary repairs would be al
lowed.
