the allegation was hurled that the
grand jury had not been drawn in

other shot directed at what is sup
posed to be a vulnerable point, that

from an equally largely fortified en-

an ammunition carrier.

given to cease firing, ana, like Dew

up and continued their investiga-
tions among the outlying districts
without them. The officers state
that the trail had become so indis-
tinct, owing to age, that the dogs
could do nothing.
1t was expected that the robbers
would make some attempt to sneak
out of the city and lay in wait for
a passing freight, thus making
good their escape, The trail of
the robbers seemed to indicate that
this was the correct theory. At
Marshall inquiries were made, but
nothing of a definite nature was
learned. A report was received at
the police station an hour or so
after the posse had left that three
suspicious looking characters had
been seen lettering about Medical
Lake.
While the police will still watch
the out of town districts, they are
inclined TO think the robbers mere
ly made sortie to throw the Of
flcers on the track and will return
TO the city, II they haven't already
done so.
Four men were picked up down
town and placed under arrest on
suspicion of being implicated in
the robbery. These men are:
James Mills, alias Riley; Fred Mil
Ter, George Wilson and James Nc
Cormack, alias James Davis. These
men were captured on lower Stew
ems street by Humane Officer
Draper.
At the offices of the Cocolalla
Ice & Fuel company today it was
stated that the robbers had secured
$l9.S5. Secretary Skidmore stated
the men had not touched any of
the company's papers. The safe
was not entirely destroyed as a
result of the explosion, although
the inside compartments were con-
siderably damaged.

last session Of the legislature, to-
day. The cattlemen have been
strongly opposed to the sale Of
these lands and predict that the
withdrawal of them from pasture
purposes will work great injury to
the cattle industry of this state.
Under the law which goes into
effect today, the state lands are
to be sold to actual settlers in
tracts of from one to eight sections.
The price is 81 an acre, payable in
40 annual instruments, with per
cent interest. Each purchaser must
live upon the land for three years
to acquire title. After the sale of
these lands the state will still own
about 100000 acres, which is un-
der lease to cattlemen.
