Charged With Robbing Post
office and Bank
CAPTAIN IN FIRE DEPARTMENT
Wholesale Arrests Made by Federal
officers Gresham Bank
Robbers.

With the arrest Saturday night of
Frank Wane, A. TuInbull, captain of
Chemical company No. /, A. f. Bry-
ant, bartender at Tom Fallon's motor
ious north end saloon, and Louis L.
Smith, the mystery of the Sellwood
aud st. Johns postoffice robberies, the
Gresham bank robbery and the bind
ing and rotbing of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
w. Beardsley and their servant girl in
Center addition January 10, has teen
cleared up and with the evidence the
government authorities have at hand
the conviction of the men is expected,
says the Portland Journal.
The arrests were made on warrants
sworn out in United States District
Attorney BristoIs Office and placed
in the hands of Deputy United States
Marshal Nichols. Bushee and
Griffith. These men received instruc-
tions to make no arrests until Wane,
who is the ringleader, was placed in
custody.
Wane is said to be one of the most
desperate criminals in the country and
is known to have served several terms
in the penitentiaries in various parts
of the country. A reward is out for
his arrest.
Turnbull acted as fence for the
stolen property and is the man who
offered the stamps which were stolen
at st. Johns postoffico to Ashley &
Rumelin, the Stark street bankers,
who declined to buy them. The
stamps were worth about 5000 and
we're offered for $160. They were
afterward sold to other persons and
the government officers know where
they are, but decline to disclose the
names of the persons who purchased
them.
Bryant, the bartender, was the man
who located the various places to be
robbed. He has a ranch near the
place where old man Beardsley and
his wife were bound and gagged and
told the gang of the conditions which
governed the house on the night of the
robbery. Bryant also located the Sell

wood postoffice for the burglars, but
THIS was contrary to work planned for
the robbers by Turnbull, who wanted
the men to rob the postoffice on East
Burnside street. Friction resulted
from the conflict between the two men
but had no effect upon the organiza-
tionof the gang.
The story of the Sellwood robbery is
,, interesting in that the robbers believed
that they had killed Officer Sorenson
and were prepared to get out of the
city on the morning of the robbery.
After the shooting, the men-there
were four in the crowd-ran down to
the river, where Wane counseled
throwing their revolvers away. The
other men demurred aud Wane was
the only man who threw his weapon
into the river. When they reao bed
the Madison street bridge the men
parted and Wane went to the east side,
where he took Vancouver car and
went to the Washington city.
From Vancouver Wane telephoned
to Bryant and asked concerning Soren-
sons condition. When advised that
the officer was not dangerously wound
ed Wane returned to Portland and
Joined his comrades in their rooms at
the place where they were arrested by
the police.
The story of the Gresham bank roE-
berry is also interesting, because of the
bungle which the men made of their
work. When they commenced opera
tions on the safe they believed that it
was freproof, and discovered that it
was burglar proof, and injected SO
much nitroglycerine into the borings
they had made that they feared to ex-
plode it lest they he blown to pieces

Wane, Rankins and Anderson are
the men known to have done the work
at Sellwood, and the other man who
aided them IS either Kelly or another
man who has not yet been captured.

NO LICENSE MONEY TO STATE
City Council Opposes Bill Before the
Legislature,

In common with the municipal
officials of other towns and cities il
Oregon, the city council of Athena i.
opposed to bill now before the legis
lature which if passed would give &
portion of all license monies collected
for the privilege of selling liquors
into the state treasury. and at a recent
meeting passed the following resolu.
tion, a copy of which has been for
warded to the committee having the
bill in charge:
Whereas, legislation is now pend
ing IN the Oregon legislature, having
the object in view of converting into
the state treasury portion of the
money collected by the cities and
towns of the state of Oregon, from
liquor licenses, and
Whereas, most cities and towns of
the state are heavily in debt on ac-
count of maintaining the city govern
ments, public improvements, etc., and
Whereas the State of Oregon can by
corporation taxes, etc., and other
methods of indirect taxation raise
sufficient revenue for all state pur-
poses,
Therefore, be it resolved by the
people of Athena aud by the City
Council thereof that such legislation
having for its object the conversion of
a part of money, raised by the several
cities and towns from liquor licenses,
into the State Treasury should be de-
feated.
And further, be it resolved that we
inform our representatives in the legis-
lature of this opinion and instruct them
to use their votes and other influence
to defeat such legislation.

The Farmers Wife

Is very careful about her churn. She
scalds it thoroughly after using, and gives
it sun bath to sweeten it. She knows
that if her churn is sour it will taint the
butter that is made in it. The stomach is
churn. In the stomach and digestive
and nutritiye tracts are performed pro-
cesses which are almost exactly like the
churning of butter. Is it not apparent
then that if this stomach-churn is foul it
makes foul all which is put into it?
The evil of foul stomach is not alone
the bad taste in the mouth and the foul
breath caused by it, but the corruption Of
the pure current of blood and the dissem-
ination of disease throughout the body.
DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery
makes the sour and foul stomach sweet.
1t does for the stomach what the washing
and sun bath do for the churn-absoutely
removes every tainting or corrupting ele-
ment. In this way it cures blotches,
pimples, eruptions, scrofulous swellings,
sores, or open eating ulcers and all
humors or diseases arising from bad blood.
If you have bitter, nasty, foul taste in
your mouth, coated tongue, foul breath,
are weak and easily tired, feel depressed
and despondent, have frequent headaches,
dizzy attacks, gnaWing or distress in stom-
ach, constipated or irregular bowels, sour
or bitter rsings after eating and poor
appetite, these symptoms, or any consider
able number Of them, indicate thatyou are
suffering from biliousness, torpid or lazy
liver with the usual accompanying indi-
gestlon, or dyspepsia and their attendant
