IT WAS NOT
THE DOG THAT
WAS ''YELLOW''

Pasadena, Cal, Sept. 16.-Patrol-
man Griffin is haunted today by the
knowledge that he was forced to kill
a loyal and faithful dog before he
could place Antonio Villores, the ami
mails master, under arrest on triv-
lal charge. The deg was just COM
mon, plain, every day yellow dog.
When Griffin placed his hand on
Villores shoulder, the animal lunged
at the policeman. Griffin drew his
revolver and fired. The bullet sped
through the dogs body but he kept
coming Mortally wounded, the
faithful animal made a second rush
and was met with a second bullet.
still alive, he turned an agonizing
glance toward his master and with a
lalnt growl again made for Griffin.
third bullet ended it's life.
i do not care what you do with
HE now,' said Villores. THAT dog
was my best friend. He may have

surface"

He WANTS TO
POW WOW WITH
The HOP MEN

Mr.. Clemens Horst, one of the
largest hop growers on the coast was
in town today, and he is like his
business, inasmuch as he is large and
vigorous of physique. Mr. Horst's
knowledge of the hop business IN
general is so thorough, and his style
of discourse so clear that it is
treat for even the dsinterested to lis
ten to him. He places vital impor-
tance upon Oregon hop growers fur
nishing exhibits to the American EX-
position of Brewing at Chicago, Octo-
ber IL to 22, and urges growers to
get together in furnishing three or
four arms Of hops and at least 10
pound dried sample. All exhibits
will bear the growers name and To-
cation, so that in addition to further
ing the coast hop industry, he will be
advertising his own yard, and it is
patent to the uninitiated that when
brewers are convinced that our coast
grown hops are superior to the Ger
man or European hops, then and then
only will they buy our hops eXclu-
sively. 1t is we'll known to those
who have made fair comparison that
coast hops average better than the
European, but in order to get the
business, it is up to the grower to
be in active sympathy with all efforts
such as Mr.. Horst proposes to
strengthen the foundation for bet
ter permanent market. This year is
good one for the purposes of fur
nishing hop exhibits from coast
yards, for the quality is generally
good, and of a certainty will COM
pare to advantage with European
grown hops Mr.. T. A Livesley
talked with Mr.. Horst and is inter-
ested to the extent that he will fur
nish a man to go to the yards and
secure or arrange for the samples.
Mr.. Horst will be in town this even
ing and hopes to meet the local hop
men, for a mutual benefit pow-wow.

The PEOPLE
GREATER THAN
CAR COMP PANIES

Seattle, Wash. Sept. 16,-An-
other celebration of a peoples vic
tory over a street car company will
be held in the Duwamish valley to-
night by the residents of that sec
tion, who, for tyo years, have paid
advance fares, but which have now
been reduced by the supreme court
to the old rates.
Just a wee ago the residents Of
Rainier valley celebrated their vic
tory, obtained by supreme court de-
cision against the street car COM
pany which operates in that section.
The two cases are almost identical,
and yet two separate traction COM
panies were concerned.
In both cases the state supreme
court decided in favor Of the people,
but it required a two-years' legal
battle to win in the case of the Du-
vanish valley, and a four-years'
struggle in the Rainier case.
Duwamish and Rainier are Seat
ties two chief suburbs, and have an
aggregate Of about so, 600 inhabi-
tants.
While the rate cases themselves
are settled, two important prosecu-
tions are still pending as a direct re-
suit. One is contempt proceeding
against two Seattle editors, who de-
nounced an Injunction in the Du-
vanish case, and the other is an
alleged conspiracy to obstruct JUS
tice," which resulted from the mass
meeting held here, when Federal
Judge Hanford issued a temporary
Injunction, which, in effect, suspend
ed the supreme court decision In the
Rainier valley case.

food and then telephoned to Hannah
that he had Wilson in custody. Will
son ate ravenously, and apparently
was almost starved by his long so
journ in the bush after he left Miss
Price.
No sooner had Deputy May re-
ceived the news of Wilson's capture
than he gathered a posse and auto
mobiled to the Halliday farm. When
the posse appeared Wilson fed and
tried to hide in a haystack, but sur
rendered when he saw he was sur
rounded.
Within an hour the news of Will
sons capture had spread and mobs
of armed men, boys and women
started for Hannah from Snowflake,
Manitou, Edmond Bay and all other
small settlements in Manitoba, de-
termined to lynch the ravisher.

doubtedly carried, they took with
them. 1t was very evident that only
one charge of explosive was necessary
to blow open the door. This is shown
by the fact that the job was a pref
ty clean one. Had more than one
charge been necessary it would have
been dangerous proposition for the
burglars themselves, and the coins
would have been badly damaged and
the bills blown all over the place and
practically destroyed.
Robbery was "a Classic"
From the professional burglars
standpoint 1t was the neatest, clean
est, best planned Job and the biggest
cash haul ever pulled off In the West
ern Hemisphere, and will go down in
the annals of crime as classic, and
for years to come New Westminster
will be known as the scene of the
robbery of the century.
Another point worthy of note Is
the fact that in the two atttmepts at
bank robbery recently made In Van
couver, the only two banks In that
town that had brick walls were at
tackled. These were the Traders
Bank and the Union Bank. 1t looks
like more than coincidence that the
bank here with brick vault, lined
with a thin sheet of steel, should be
the next victim selected.
Perhaps 1t was a mere coincidence,
or again the plans Of the robbers
might have been predicated upon
that event, but the reason the Bank
Of Montreal had such large amount
of ready cash on hand, was that q
shipment of $15O,000 in new bills
had Just been received from Montreal
to pay out to the salmon fishermen,
to the Frazier mills employees and to
the hop pickers at Chilliwack and
Agasslz. The police are doing the
best they can, and the problem re-
solves itself into battle OF wits be-
tween the police and the cleverest
gang of robbers that ever soaped a
safe or scuttled ship since the Bid
die brothers robbed the Bank of Eng
land
Another clue that may prove OF
value is the fact that large man
arrived at a local hotel Thursday
with what was presumably an empty
suit case, IT was so light. He did not
even bother taking 1t up to his room
that afternoon On Friday he asked
that 1t be put away In safe place,
and when he left the hotel this morn
ing the suit case was very heavy,
though he was not seen to enter the
hotel with any large bundles.
