sters that they would walk out when
such demands were made This strike
will involve nearly 1000 employees of
mills and lumber yards, which will
be compelled to shut down.
Fifty men responded this morning
to the call for 1000 additional police

sensibility. The assailants escaped.

liceman McQuillan, who was pass

started in pursuit of the robber, get
ting within 20 feet of him.
McQuillan ordered the robber to
halt, but the command was met with
shot from the big revolver. Nc
Quillan dashed ahead, emptying his
gun at the man, who ran north on
Browne street, firing two more shots
in response to the fusilade of the
policeman.
AT the alley across Main street the
robber fell, but quickly regained his
feet and disappeared, going west
through the alley.
In the fall the man lost his hat,
which was later picked up by the
policeman.
An hour later Special Policeman
Dewolf ran across two suspicious
characters in the Northern Pacific
railroad yards and placed them I'M

They proved to be Bradley and

Bradley had 5000 in money and
Atherton had $20.S5, which. the police
say, was given him by Bradley on
the way to the station.
Early this morning the men who
were in the Norden saloon at the
time of the holdup were called to
the police station and at once iden-
titled Bradley as the man who had
held up the place.
In the sweatbox young Atherton
stoutly maintained ignorance of the
his companion. He claimed he met
Bradley as tramp in Montana and
had come on through with him and
that Bradley had given him money to
live on.

With Bradley when captured was
Clarence Athertoh, a 17-year-old boy

Bradley is accused of one of the

1t was about II o'clock last night
when five men, somewhat the worse
for the good time they were having,
were playing cards in the Nordan ho-
tel bar, northwest corner of Browne
street and Riverside avenue.
A round of drinks had just been
called for and the bartender, Samuel
Began, was behind the bar drawing
beer.
AS Began started to set the glasses
up on the bar man stepped into
the barroom from the hall leading
past the winerooms in the rear to a
rear door.
Tho man wore an overcoat and had
handkerchief tied about the lower
part of his face, just exposing his
nose and eyes. In his right hand he
carried n heavy 45 calibre revolver,
which he leveled first at the five
card players and then at the bar
tender.
Hands up and keep STILL" came
the command just as Began turned
to inspect the new arrival.
Nobody obeyed the order of hands
up" but card playing ceased and
everybody became motionless as the
gun turned from one to the other.
open that cash register and give
me the none" said the robber as
he turned the gun ON Bartender Bo-
gan and stepped to the end of the
bar.
"Ill be damned If I do" plucklly
responded Began, who was too far
away from his weapons to offer an
effective resistance.
"'rhen l guess I'll have to open It
myself" coolly responded the nervy
highwayman as he turned behind the
bar and approached the register.
With n daredevil indifference to the
five cardplayers, the robber stepped
to the register and carefully ran his
fingers over the keys until he came
to the mo sale" key. The GOODNESS
displayed in choosing a key which
would not throw off the bartender $
account almost won Began who, for
an instant, thought of dashing
against the gun, but held back when
he saw how completely the robber
was master of the situation.
In the register was $3.50 In silver
and bills, all of which the robbcr
scooped out of the boxes and trans
ferrcd to his pockets.
The money secured the holdup

frightened cardplayers, but turned
and backed carefully out of the side

offer Of 5000 part payment was res
fused.
After coming out of the bank STAFF
ford offered each of the two ems
dorsers $40.
Newhauser told the youth, so STAFF
ford says, that he wanted to buy a
new suit of cloths and suggested that
he advance him s25.
Stafford gave him the money and
later Newhausesr said he was going
to Seattle himself and would like to
borrow $50 more, which he would re-
pay in Seattle.
Stafford gave him the additional
$50 and then decided to doublecross
bennett and Gum, who were not
about.
Accordingly he took the first train
to Seattle without dividing the money
and went from there to Vancouver.
At Vancouver he deposited $1,000
I'm the bank and then started in to
play poker.
"A few days later he had checked
out all of the money and was broke,
the gamblers getting 1t all.
Gum and bennett have not made
a confession yet. The trio will be
held for trial on charges of opening
letters, uttering worthless paper and
forgery. i
In borrowing the s75 from the boy
Newhauser lost money, as the bank
will demand payment of the $500
draft from him and Goerling.

In this manner youthful Howard
Stafford described how he rapidly
squandered the $500 secured by him
on a draft cashed at the Old National
bank.

take, was delivered to Gums step
father w. II. Hicks.

draft and letter to the postoffice, but
