urged the adoption Of system which
shall provide elasticity in the credit

crater. amid trees and bushes. till il
struck the floor of lava at the bottom.
Our course took us out over the
cracked and cOntOrted lava beds. where
no green thing was growing. The
forms of the lava HUw suggested

claws. The lava crunched beneath the
horses feet like shelly and brittle ice.

ONE OF

Portland, Or, April 25-That the
unidentified bandit, who was shot
early today in fight with Police
man Bender, may be one of the Sidna
Allen gang of Virginia outlaws, was
a theory advanced by the police here
this afternoon. 1t is believed that
one Or more of the Aliens left Vir-
ginia some days ago for the Pacific
coast and the police think it quite
possible the man who nearly killed
Bender is a member of the gang.
They are certain he is no ordinary
criminal because of the desperate re-
sistance he made when Bender at
tempted to arrest him and his appar-
ent willingness to kill.
