RESIGNED HIS OFFICE.

w. H. Crandall rendered his resig-
nation as councilman at the meeting
of the council Monday evening. The
reason for Mr.. Crandall taking this
step is because he has changed his
place of residence, leaving Oroville for
Northport Wednesday morning. Mr..
Crandall stated prior to his departure
that it was his intention to settle up
some business affairs at Northport and
then go to California to make his per-
manent home. Mr.. Crandall has been
a resident OF this place for several
years, and has accumulated some
property. He has served in the coun-
Gil since the first of the year, and bid
fair to make a level-headed official.
The vacancy created by his resigna-
ton will probably be filled at the meet
ing next Monday night.

IN THE TOLLS.

The seven days wonder, the burg
larizing Of the postofiice, has almost
become ancient history, and to close
the incident about all that is left to do
is to fasten the guilt upon the prison
ers. and start them in serving the long
sentence of Imprisonment which they
Will draw as a sequel to their cheap
escapade. No two men ever took such
long chances for a small haul and then
bungled their getaway so that thei.
trail could have been followed by a
blind man. They deserve their fate
for the sloppy way they turned the
trick.
At the time this paper went to press

had been forceably entered and ne
perpetrators had made good their es-
cape. 1t was not long after the rob
berry was discovered until Marshal Nc
Cannon became busy on the case
He soon uncovered trail and he useI
the telegraph so industriously that the
wires fairly sagged under the load. It,
was ascertained that two men had
driven to Oroville Wednesday in a rig
hired from J. H. White, the Nelson
livery man. They put up the team in
c. E. Johnston's barn, in the south
part of town. Later in the afternoon
the strangers hired team of white
horses from Stever Bros livery stable,
ostensibly to drive down the river. 1t
was this team that proved their undo

phone line and telegraph it was
learned that team of the description
Of the missing horses had been seen
near Stanton's saw mill, not far from
Nelson. about o'clock Thursday
morning. The horses we're attached to

animals much jaded as if from hard
driving. McCammon notified the Can

awake force Immediately took the
trail. After wild chase the men
were finally overhauled at Phoenix.
The tcamr was completely exhausted
by the long hard drive. The prisoners
were taken to Midway. Saturday Nc
Cannon. acting as deputy sheriff ac-
cOmpanied by Jas. Steele, went to
Myncaster, where the suspects were
turned over to the officers. They re-
turned to Oroville the same evening
with the prisoners. The officers and
their prisoners were met at the depot
by a crowd large enough to represent
almost half the population of the town,
drawn out by curiosity to see the bold,
bad men. The suspects gave their
names to the Canadian officials as Dean
Kruse and Geo. r. Finch. and claimed
to be Canadian citizens. They said
they had come over from Vancouver
some three weeks ago, Kruse was
originally from Quebec and Finch from
Montreal, according to their story
Kruse is a man apparently 81 or %
years of age, and Finch 25 or 26
They made no protest against coming
across the line, although little di-
plomacy was used by the officers work

strongly deny that they had any hand
in the pOstotfice robbery, but the evil
dence against them is almost as con-
vincing as though they had been
caught in the act.
