Scott Pounds Killed by Police
man and Roy c. Baird
Arrested

Scott Pounds, lad of q years, is
dead at the morgue with bullet
through his body, and Roy c. Baird,
his 1s year old companion, whose
father is a foreman for the Standard
oil company in Seattle. is in Jail on a
burglary charge, the result of the Wig
liant eye and true aim of Patrolman
M. 4. Arey, who caught them redhand-
ed in the act OF robbing a saloon early
yesterday morning.
The pathos of it is that the young
men. broke" and strangers in the city,
walked the streets for days before
hand, unable to obtain work save Tor
an occasional job setting up" the pins
and homesick to return to their homes
in Seattle. To secure funds for the
journey Pounds finally suggested that
they rob the saloon. In their inexperi-
ence they bungled where an expert
enced thief would not have attracted
attention. Pounds was shot trying to
escape.
BREAK INTO SALOON
1t was about 4 o'clock yesterday
morning that Patrolman Arey, passing
the saloon of Foge & Mohr at Fifth and
Mission streets, noticed that the glass
panel of the door near the lock had
been broken. Inside he heard some
one talking. Arey forced his way in
stantly into the saloon. and as he did
so Pounds and Baird broke from the
side entrance with the officer hot at
their heels. With Arey calling to them
to halt, they ran UP Fifth to Jessie
street AS they darted into vacant
lot on the west side OF the Emporium
building Arey fired three shots over
their heads and then shot TO hit, for
they would not stop.
Arey blew his whistle and Corporal
j. j. Moriarty and Officers William Do
ran and ]. J. Farrell responding. found
Pounds lying insensible on his back
in the Tot with one OF Arey's bullets
through his body. Baird was pulled
from an empty tar barrel by Moriarty.
He had a loaded revolver in his hand.
At the emergency hospital Pounds
died while he was being operated on.
Baird was arraigned before Police
Judge Shortall, who set the case for
August u. The boy had $3.50 in nick
els and dimes in his pocket, which he
explained he had taken, with the re-
volver, from the saloon. He told the
police that he and Pounds came here

streets, but went broke" and could
not meet the rent.
