A KLICKITAT COUNTY MYSTERY
Said to Be Puzzle to the Authorities
of Chelan and Kittitas Counties.

The following article which ap-
peared in the Yakima Republic OF
| last week savors of much local in
terest and we publish the same In
full:
Among the problems that have
puzzled the authorities of Klickitat
and Chelan county, is that of the
disappearance of Samuel Gobat and
wife, who left Wenatchee bound for
Goldendale in 1902 and have never
been seen since, according to the
story of Charley Peirce of this city.
Mr.. PIERCE lived in Goldendale and
knew the Gobats personally. About
eight years ago they sold their prop
erty in Goldendale and went over to
Wenatchee to reinVest in Chelan
county farm land.
In talking about the disappearance
of the Gobats, Mr.. Peirce said that a
number of people living in this city
now were well acquainted with them.
He mentioned A. R. Graham, former
dog catcher, as being friend of the
Gobats. Mr.. Graham could not be
found this morning, but it is quite
probable that Mr.. Peirce knows
whereof he speaks.
Il read story in a local morning
paper a few days ago about a couple
who left Goldendale bound for Ell
lensburg 10 years ago, and had never
been seen since. No names were
given, and the facts were decidedly
distorted" said Mr.. Peirce. 1.-THE
paper had a smattering of the story
of the disappearance of Sam Cobalt
and his wife, who were both friends

The four men VINO wrecked ana
robbed the bank of Ephrata on Fri
day night were brought here and
lodged in Jail Saturday night, being
brought in under custody of Deputy
Sheriff Lyle. The men were taken
to Waterville Sunday morning by
Deputy Sheriff Lyle and lodged in
the county Jail there.
The arrival of the robbers occa-
stoned considerable excitement in our
streets Saturday night, and the
youthful and innocent appearance OF
two of the younger prisoners created
much comment. They were neatly
dressed, well appearing young men
of perhaps 25, and looked in no wise
the part of desperados. The third APP
peared an ordinary specimen of the
common or railroad tramp. But the
fourth is without doubt the real
thing-a typical bad man, beetle
browed and surly. Since their cap
lure the men have persistently re-
fused to talk, or give their names, or
to discuss the crime or winch they
are accused. 1t is understood how
ever that when first Overtaken they
claimed to be sheepherders, and to
know nothing of the bank robbery.
The prisoners are now safe in the
Douglas county Jail at Waterville,
and will be held there pending trial
at the next regular term of the SUI
perior court.
The attempted robbery was we'll
timed. and had the safecrackers sue
ceeded in getting through the inner
door they would have been well re-
paid for their efforts, as consider
able sum of money was in the safe at
the time, being on deposit to pay la
borers engaged in sheep shearing on
adjacent ranches.
For daring, desperate work and
disregard of danger the crime at
Ephrata deserves to take first rank
with the old-time escapades of the
James boys and the Dalton gang.
In the duel which preceded the
bandits escape the officers were in
the dark, we'll concealed, while the
light by which the robbers worked
was shining target for the officers.
Not one of the men was hurt. The
amount of booty secured will not ex-
coed $50, and has been recovered.
All the dynamite used failed to pene-
trate the inner vault of the safe,
where the treasure is kept.

a TazewelI Man Tells of the Par
arie Country.
Durham, Okla. Feb. 22.

Dear Editor:
Having left Tazewell, Virginia, April
2, 1905, / have been thinking of writ
TO you for some time. We are located
in Day county, Oklahoma, miles from
Texas, miles South Of the Canadian
river and 8 miles North OF the Washita
river. We have "a fine country through
here. Higgins, Texas, is the nearest
railroad point. We do most OF our
business at Canadian, Texas, as the
Canadian river lies between us and
Higgins. This country was a wild par
arie 8 years ago. There were "a few
cattle men here. They claimed that
nothing would grow here, and that it
never raiped. Now there are thousands
OF bushels Of wheat, oats. corn, barley,
kaffir corn and milomaize raised every
year. There are some fine fields of
alfalfa. Broom corn is paying crop if
people had sheds to mature it in. We
are in need Of railroad through here
so we could ship our cattle, grain and
hogs. This is the finest hog country
that have even been in. There is
more money in them than anything
that man, with small means can 90
into. 1t is not any trouble to raise feed
here. One man can SOW, plant and
cultivate as much as three men can
harvest and take care Of. There was a
large acreage OF wheat sowed last fall,
and the winter has been very favorable.
We have had plenty Of ram, and one
big snow. This makes my second
winter here, and / haven't seen the
ground covered with snow but once
There will be large crop of oats
sowed. Every farmer is busy blowing
and sowing now. A good many are
done sowing. Corn is selling at 25c
per bushel, oats 40c and wheat Coo,
and hogs are Sc per cwt. gross.
We are having fine weather.
Horses and mules are high, and very
scarce. There has been a good many
died here this winter from blind stag
gers.
would be glad to see my old friends
and acquaintance in Tazewell.
