minister Bank Robbers.

NEW WESTMINSTER. s. c., Septem-
bex 16.-It is the theory of the police of
Vancouver and New Westminster that the
five robbers who stole $o58.G00 from the
New Westminster branch of the Bank
of Montreal are in hiding in Vancouver
waiting for chance to get away. One
hundred and fifty thousand dollars of
paper money stolen is in new five and
ten-dollar bills of the Bank of Montreal
and the numbers of every bill is posted
in every bank in Canada and on the
American border. The $4,000 in gold
and the $ss, 900 in bills of various Cana
dian and United States banks are avail
able for use by the robbers, however.
The explosives. it has been found. were
set off by electricity. Despite the fact
that five or six charges were necessary,
residents adjoining the bank did not hear
the sound.

No Report Here.

According to officials in the office of the
trainmaster at the Union station here,
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac railroad has no representation
among the railroad officials concentrated
in the Union station, and the trainmaster
had no record of the wrecked train, save
that it left Washington at 1901 o'clock
pm. yesterday. Richmond. Fredericks-
burg and Potomac trains. southbound
from Washington, pass out of the juris-
dtction of the Union station trainmaster
as soon as they leave the union trackage
below Alexandria and roll onto their own
