dies All, to get him, 1t was a distinct
case of catch your hare. There was as
yet no clue TO the perpetrators of the
crime in Norwich. and there was much
less evidence to guide them in the af-
Tair OF the specie van. So 1t came about
that Inspector Bullen of Scotland Yard
was deputed to undertake the unravel-
ing OF the mystery.
Inspector Bullen's first step was to
journey down to Liverpool and make
the most rigid inquiries. All the infor-
nation he gained was the fact that the
last carriage had been reserved for two
men. Further inquiries went to con-
HTm the inspectors impression that
there was an American at the bottom of
the affair. Point one: An important
factor in support of that idea was that
before the Eastern Century bank rob
bery there had been two gentlemen
staying at Weyburne i'm Norfolk under
the names Of Roland T. Rowlands and
Henry J. Macassar. Point two: In

81 name in the American style, viz.
Rowland T. Rowlands, and to the in
spector this was an indubitable clue.
Therefore, he was satisfied in his own
mind that they were Americans.
His next ster was to proceed to Nor
folk. and. continuing his inquiries there,
he found the cottage at which Rowland
I. ROwlands and Henry J. Macassar
had stayed; and for a week Inspector
Bullen went moth hunting" on his own
account. One thing he found out from
the local cOastguard, and that was the
sudden appearance and equally sudden
disappearance of a submarine off Ciey
the day of the bank robbery at Nor
witch. Could there be any link between
the circumstance and the crime? How
to connect the two occurrences was the
question. From the police he learned
that they had stopped the driver of a
Psnhar1 on the road between Cromer
and Sheringham on the date of the rob-
berry. Were these-the Panhard and the
submarine-links in the chain of evil

OATS WEIGH OUT WELL.

Crop Near swaIedale Makes Up in
Weight Deficiency in Yield.
Swaledale, Aug. 11-While the oat
crop in this part Of the county is short
as to yield, the weight will more than
make up the deficiency and will put
the average per acre above what it was
last year. The threshing machine was
started in this vicinity this week and q
test was made compared with last year
which will make the oat yield about
one third more.
A wagon box thirty-four inches in
depth weighed out ninety-four bushels
and eighteen pounds. The same wagon
box with the same dimension was used
last year and it's load weighed sixty
five bushels. This is an increase OF
twenty-nine bushels to the load. The
average yield last year is placed be-
tween twenty I'VE and thirty bushels
while this year 1t is barely twenty-five
bushels, tho the fine quality will more
than make up the deficiency in yield.

his assistant in command OF the bar

strenuously in the courts, he was as
sessed a fine OF $50 and costs. which
he paid.
He was next arrested on charge
of emhezzlement, on complaint of An
drew Salmon, young man formerly
identified with the army. who filed
charges on the ground that he had
turned over his savings to the captain
and had been refused their return on
demand Captain Hayes was later ex-
onerated on this charge.
A number of complaints have pre-
viously been lodged with the police
with reference to the conduct of the
solicitations for the department. but
nothing has previously been secured
of criminal nature.
The authorities at Prairie City de-
clare that they will prosecute the case

Following the charges against the

1t is a matter OF speculation with
Judge Witten, experimenting the land
drawings, as to how many applicants
can he given lands in the Flathead res
ervation, even if they draw lucky num-
bers. Under the reclamation act the
government is likely to withdraw a
large part of the irrigable land in that
reservation. Approximately $500 claims
are to be had in this reserve, but the
proposed reclamation of part will re-
duce the number by several hundred.
There are many of the persons who
drew lucky number who will be unable
to get homesteads, as there are only
1,028 claims available for settlement.
The drawing of 5000 names was done

to file claims on the land. Hundreds
