Thief MAKES
A RICH HAUL
JOSEPH MYERS, SALEM, ROBBED
Secures Package Containing Valuable
Papers-Also Loses JeweIry and
Other Valuable Property.

Salem, Or, Sept. S.--A daring ex-
press robbery, in which a package
containing notes and other valuable
papers representing over $4,000 be-
longing to Joseph Meyers, Of this
city, brings again to public notice
the internal troubles of the Meyers
family. 1t recalls the fight made by
his sons to prevent his recent mar
riage in Portland to Mrs. Zenaide Du
Rette, and to control the old mans
fortune.
Upon the request of Mr.. Meyers,
]. II. Albert, president of the Capt.
tai National Bank. OF Salem, for
warded the formers strong box to
him at Portland, In care of the Port
land Hotel. The package was intrust-
cd to the Wells-Fargo Express Com
pany here for transmission to Port
land on the afternoon of August IL.
1t arrived In Portland that night at
1880 o'clock.
The package never reached Mr.
Meyers at his Portland address, and
It has just been learned that 1t was
stolen from the express company on
the night of August 21, or the early
morning of August 22. The circum-
stances of the daring theft are such
that it is believed that unknown per-
sons entered the express Office at the
Portland Union Depot, where the
package was left over night, and car.
ried 1t away.
The strong box contained among
other valuable packages and jewelry
three notes executed by Henry w.

TAKES RIDE AMONG CLOUDS.
California Farmer Caught Up From
Earth by Balloon,

Euftn Dy BALLOON.
San Jose, Cal. Sept. S.-A balloon
ascension at Alum Rock Park, Sun
day afternoon, came near ending ia
tally for Fred Biaggi, a prune ranch
or living near Alviso. II seems that
Biaggi had boasted to a number of
women friends that he was not afraid
to go up in the balloon, so, as the
balloon was cut loose, he rushed to
the spot and proceeded to get himself
tangled up in the ropes The aero
naut yelled to him to keep clear, the
women screamed and there was a
general panic AS the balloon shot
upward Biaggi struggled to free him
self, but not until he was so far up
In the air that 1t was impossible for
him to drop and he was forced to
hang on for dear life.
At an altitude OF some 2500 feet
the professional balloonist cut loose
In his parachute and descended safe
ly, but Biaggi was carried up and
out of sight. Then a wind caught
the balloon and carried 1t far over
the hills. 1t was nearly an hour be-
fore a rescuing party found the
rancher. Miraculously be was un-
injured. He had held onto the ropes
until the balloon let him reach the
ground without scratch.

Injured by Fall from Trestle.

Mate LaIlisch, an Austrian laboier,
was taken to the Cottage Hospital
Tuesday morning. unconscious, as
the result of falling from the railroad
trestle east of town. Lallisch was ao
companied by two men who stated to
Marshal Ganger that all thee OF them
had been working on the North Bank
railroad at Pasco and we're walking to
Vancouver to get their money, as,they
had been paid off in time checks.
The accident happened at o'clock
Tuesday morning and was occasioned
by freight train which came onto
the trestle when the men were in the
middle of 1t. At first 1t was thought
that Lallisch had been hit by the
train, but as he is unhurt with the
exception of scalp wound it is sur
missed that be got frightened aud fell
off. On reaching the hospital five
stitches we're taken in the wound in
his head, but as he is unable to speak
English it was impossible to learn
from him how the accident happened.

Lewiston, Idaho, Sept. 8.--That J.
M. Bachus was foully murdered on
his own doorstep and his home fred
to cover the crime, is now absolutely
certain as an examination of the
charred and almost unrecognizable
body shows that the young Clifford
farmer was shot, probably with a
rife, the bullet entering the back of
the neck and ranging upward
through the neck, finally ploughing
Its way through the skull over the
eye Of the murdered victim.
Mystery still surrounds the case,
and no light has been shed on 1t by
officials who remain reticent
That Mrs. Bachus, the 22-year-old
wife Of the murdered man, will yet
reveal something which officials be-
lieve is untold. is expected She
steadfastly declares that Bachus was
carrying a lamp which exploded, but
gives no explanation of the presence
Of bullet In her husbands brain.
The extreme reticence of all con-
nected with the case shows that more
evidence Is being sought.

SETTLED $4,000
SUIT OUT OF COURT

The Glacier is in receipt of a dis
patch apprising it of the fact that a
suit which Rae & Hatfield, the we'll
known commission men ot.New York,
had instituted against the Northern Pa
cifio railroad company for $40, 600
damages had been settled out of court.
The dispatch asked for information
in regard to the suit, but as the scene
of the suit was in the Yakima district
1t could not be furnished. The Yaki-
ma Republic, however, has this to say
of the transaction:
"Ierms OF the settlement are not
known, except by inference, and the
inference is that rather than let the
case go to trial the railroad company
has gone long way toward meeting
the demands of the commission house
1t may be stated, however, that no
word of settlement, except that sent
to this paper, has been received here.
at Is anticipated that the settle
ment of this claim means the settle
ment OF large number of other
claims against the railroad in which
North Yakima and Yakima valley ship
pets are interested, among them a
claim for several thousands of dollars
of the horticultural union and to
which reference was made at the an
, nual meeting of that body.
'BIuce Wees, of Parker, represent
cd Messrs. Rae & Hatfield in this dis
trict last season and purchased a large
quantity of fruit, but like many
others encountered great difficulty
In procuring cars. Mr.. Wees today
declined to be interviewed in the mat
ter, saying that it was entirely out of
his hands, but he did affirm that IL
was not court case and so far as he
knew was not settled.
"Mr. Wees at one time last year had
on hand 80 carloads of high priced ap-
pies, the value of which, per carload,
was approximately $l700. In addition
| to this there we're many other cars at
different times and also the fact that
after having contracted with growers
for fruit he was compelled to send
out word to cease hauling as there
was no possible way of disposing of
the fruit, there being no cars avail
able for shipping.
"This state of affairs continued for
about month and was the subject of
many articles in the Republic at the
time. 1t will be remembered hat
there was considerable OF spell of
warm weather and 1t was at the time
declared that the fruit in the ware
houses was 'going down" rapidly.
1 he total loss ON some and the deter
ioration in value OF the balance, to-
gether with the loss occasioned by the
orders to the growers to cease hauling
made the aggregate of the claim men,
toned above.
1.-The case was taken up by the New
York house and was removed from
this field, the conferences and COM
munications on the subject being al
together between the New York people
and the officials of the railroad at ST..
Paul.
"Ihe condition last fall owing to
the inability of the railroad to fur
nish cars when they we're asked for by
the shippers, have been the basis of a
great many claims against the railroad
not only from this section OF the state
but from other fruit growing sections
as we'll along the line of the Northern
Pacific railroad. 1t ia understood
thar number Of small claims have
already been adjusted without litiga-
tion."

afterward Bert Spslding met Glea
w. Saunders and his father on the
opposite side Of the street and were
engaged in discussing the accident.
when the suggestion was made that
they go over and look at the pole.
This they did, and Mr. Saunders
touched the wire with the end of
his fingers and uttered a grosn and
was dead. His Hngers adhere to the
wire until his father and Mr. Spald-
ing pulled him away. Physicians
were called and used every means
known to science to restore life with
