ALLEGED ROBBERS.
ON TRIAL

Richmond, Va, April 20.-Fred
erick Cunningham alias Eddie"
Fay, and Frank Chester, alias Lit
tie Dick" Harris, were placed on trial
in Judge Waddill's court today
charged with having committed the
robbery Of the Richmond postoffice
last month. The postoffice inspect
ors who have been working on the
case believe that the trial is certain
to result in the conviction of the pair
and that as a consequence the num-
Der of postoffice robberies is likely
to be materially lessened for a time
at least.
The robbery of the Richmond post
office was one of the most sensa-
tioEal affairs of it's kind that ever
occurred in this section. After over
towering the Waterman the robbers
opened the safe with the skill of ex-
pert cracksmen and got away with
a wagon load of stamps and cash.
Through the checking of trunks out
of Richmond the robbers and their
loot were traced to New York. Fay
and Harris were captured when they
presented the checks for the trunks
at the baggage office. A third man
believed to have been an accomplice
in the robbery eluded capture. The
detectives secured five trunks in
which was found $4,000 of the
$4,000 in stamps and cash stolen
from the Richmond postoffice.
The police have been unable to
trace the criminal record of Harris,
though no doubt exists in their
minds that he is an old hand at safe
cracking and has been mixed up in
numerous postoffice jobs. Fay, on
the other hand, has a worldwide
reputation as a craftsman and post
office robber and is we'll known to
the police throughout the country.
He is believed to have been impll-
Gated in the robbery of the Chicago
postoffice in 1901, when $4,000 In
cash and stamps was stolen by the
robbers who tunnelled under the
building and cut through the floor.
For months after the robbery Fay
was closely watched by the postoffice
inspectors, but they were never able
to secure sufficient evidence to war
rant his arrest. A year later, how
ever, he was arrested on the charge
of robbing the postoffice at Superior
Wis. While awaiting trial he es-
capped from the Jail in GAINESVILLE.

Johnson of Okanogan brought his

players up to Omak this Sunday at

large crowd of the good people of
Okanogan who had a deluded idea
that Ben really did know something
about selecting and hiring men who
could play base ball, but it was a
sorely disappointed, dispirited crowd
of people who went back to Okano-
gan in the evening after seeing their
hired men contest on the diamond
field with the sturdy sons of Omak
who work in the fields six days OF
the week and play ball on the sew
enth fro m sheer love of the sport.
The result of the game was s to 3,
