BOLD ROBBERY IN FRISCO
JeweIry Stores Losses Will Amount
to $5O,oO0

to $4,000.
San Francisco, April 13.-Some
time during the night and in the best
patroiled district of the city thieves
entered the jewelry store of T. Lundy
at 744 Market street and robbed it of
diamonds and other jewelry amount
ing to $4,000.
Entrance was made by cutting a
hole through the partition that sepa-
rates the store from a candy shop.
This was done without disturbing the
lights burning in both stores. The
hole was made large enough to allow
the thieves to crawl through. Once
inside, they set to work on the main
undertaking.
Two three-eighths inch holes were
bored in the safe near the combina-
ton so that one of the handles could
be forced back. The second lever was
next forced and the doors opened with
nitro-glycerine. The vault was then
cleaned.
The robbery was discovered at $50
o'clock a. m. by Policeman Mcdonald
S'h0 a "oIShAucA III IllS
Two months ago an attempt was made
to enter this store by cutting through
from the same store beside it.
The crime was one of the boldest
in the history of police annals, for the
craftsmen, working under the eyes
of a special Waterman employed by
the merchants, accomplished the rob.
berry without detection.
Save for short handled sledge
hammer, pair of blacksmith's tongs,
which could have been of absolutely
no value to the thieves, and an oil
cloth cover, such as is usually worn
over a dress hat in stormy weather,
the men left no clew as to their iden-
tity. Every compartment in the safe
was gone over by the robbers, but
they took nothing but jewels of value,
set and unset. No watches were stolen,
the operators carefully avoiding any
article that might carry mark of
Identification.

sheriff in the hunt for the slayers of
Marshal Miller of Kent, captured one

miles above North Bend. The man
who was captured was shot in the
knee by Deputy Sheriff Starwich and
one of the other highwaymen was shot
in the right side. The man who was
arrested is believed to be the leader
Of the gang of desperadoes who shot
Marshal Miller at Kent Thursday
night. That he is one of the highway
men that the officers had been hunting
for two days is almost certain from
the fact that he had recently been
shot through the tip of the nose.
Mr.. Story was not seriously wound
ed the bullet passing through the
fieshy part of his right leg, sew
eral inches above the knee.

Deputy Sheriff Starwich and Special
Deputy Story took the trail of three
men of the five who shot Marshal Mil
Ter and followed them along the pipe
line of the Seattle water system, up
Cedar river, overtaking them at 2
O'Clock in the afternoon. The three
men were seated at a campfire when
the officers approached.
Deputy Sheriff Starwich at once
commanded them to throw up their
hands and surrender. One of the men
gave an order in Austrian to the other
two to open fire, at the same time
reaching for his gun. Starwich under
stood the order and fired at the leader,
blowing off his kneecap.
The other two men ran, securing
shelter behind stump, opening fire.

fired several shots at the men as they
were running for shelter and one of
the highwaymen was wounded in the
