AT about O'Clock yesterday morn

daring robberies that has taken place
in the city for some time, when two
men, one with his right arm cut off
at the elbow, and the other with IL hand
cut off at the wrist, entered the rooms
Of four men in the Western hotel on
Higgins avenue, and with the aid of a.
threatening dirk, robbed the victims
to the extent of several gold watches
and a lot Of loose change.
The two robbers had been staying
at the hotel for a day or two, having,
it is said by the officers, come in a
day or two before from the Occur
d'Alenes. They retired to their rooms
at an early hour Friday night and
waited until the place was quiet and
everybody in bed. At about o'clock
Julius Daniels, a waiter and Ed
Randberg, a dishWater in the hotel,
who were occupying a room together,
were rudy awakened to find the high
waymen in their room, leaning over
the bed, and one holding the dirk.
The victims We're told to keep quiet on
penalty of DEATH, and the robbers
helped themselves to what they could
get, amounting to two S. bills and
some loose change, along with a watch

Then, after cautioning their victims
to make no outcry, the robbers left
the room, locking the door behind
them. They went next to room No. 5,
where were two other men, Albert
johnson and Emil Peterson, both lodg

their tactics, and threatened to kill
the victims if any resistance were at
tempted or any noise made; they even
went so far as to stab one of the VIC

Aids Helen Keller.


New York, May 22.--One of the least
known and most touching of Mr.. Rog-
ers' many charitable deeds was his
care Of Helen Keller, the deaf. dumb
and blind girl, whose prodigies of
learning have astonished the world
Mr., Rogers had his attention called
to Miss Keller when the girl had hard
ly reached her teens. Her case, pitt
full one, at once touched his heart. Sc
cretly and through agents he interested
himself in the girl and provided funds
light of knowledge to the then dark
ened mind.
Educates Blind Girl.
Miss Keller showed such aptitude
for learning that Mr.. Rogers Contin-
ued his benefactions and saw that the
most experienced and skillful teachers
in the land were provided AS she ad-
vanced beyond the scope of the aver
age instructors of those afflicted as
she was, Mr. Rogers searched about
and found mentors for the girl who
have been able to make her, without
doubt, one of the brightest and most
charming personalities in the world to-
day, even when pitted against persons
whose faculties are in no way i'm
paired.
For more than quarter of a CEN
tury Mr.. Rogers, as with all his deeds
of charity, kept the secret of his in
terest in Helen Keller. The fact that
one of the wealthiest men in the world
had made himself practically the girls
foster father was not even known to
many who were Helen keller's asso-
cia tes.
Story Kept Secret.
The story did not come out until
Mark Twain, long one of Mr.. Rogers
most intimate friends, revealed 1t when
the Virginia railway was opened a
short time ago. On that occasion Mark
Twain, in an address at Norfolk, Va,
related the then unknown story of Mr..
Rogers benefactions to the girl, who.
through an attack of scarlet fever, had
been deprived of sight, speech and
hearing. and who, had it not been for
the millionaire, would undoubtedly
have been forced to endure the pitiful
existence which is the lot of many
not so grievously afflicted.
