heart at IL O'Clock Wednesday

The man, w. Young. refuses to

Young further than that he worked
as longshoreman in Bellingham
last winter. He disappeared, but
turned up a few days ago with
plenty Of money to spend, and ar
rayed in 1ashy clothes. He had a
room at the Eureka house, but was
occupying the Chase home during

The police will hold Young prisoner

OUTLAW STILLATL LARGE
Left 0rcas Island Friday Morning. Now
on Shaw Island. $1,000 Reward
Sheriff Boyce and Posse Continue
To SCOur Shaw Island.

Upon arrival at Orcas the natives
were found clustered around the
store, and not one of them had even
been up the road to ascertain how
the boys were getting along.
| When the DO Sc was located they
were on guard on hillside just
back of Orcas, and said that they
had been unable to get help from
East Sound, or anywhere on the ISL
and, everyone being "busy." Un-
der the circumstances quot being
able to back out very gracefully
Frits and Geoghegan volunteered to
stay until the arrival of the Britisa
authorities, who were expected to
arrive at Friday Harbor about s p.
M. and Mr.. Gould returned to the
Harbor to pilot them over to Orcas.
Boyce and Frits stationed them
sely es alongside the road and Chris
tensen, Douglas and Geoghegan
watched the hillsides below which
the bandit was supposed to be in
hiding.
Suddenly. at about il p. m J, two
shots rang out in the direction Of
the spot where the sheriff and Frits
were hiding. Christensen, Douglas
and Geoghegan ran in that direc-
ton and heard someone running up
the road, (which later proved to
have been the robber) but it being
quite dark. could sea no one. After
short time Boyce called for the
boys to come in. and at about the
same time the British authorities
arrived and there being nothing
further to do until daylight, Gould,
Frits and Geoghegan returned to
Friday Harbor.
It appears that the hold-up sneak
ed down the road and when abreast
of Boyce and Frits stopped and lis
tened. but as it was too dark to- see
his features, Boyce challenged him.
'sThat you Frank?" he said. (The
outlaw looked and was built very
much like Christensen.) "Huh?' he
he grunted. and stepped into the
brush at the side of the road.
Boyce recognized him then and
whispered to Frits s'Let him have

The first thing the provincial con-
stable did was to impress upon

and then stolen the Burk boat and

Wednesday Of last week two sus-
picious looking characters landed
at Orcas in a small white skiff
made the boat fast to the float, and
when the City came along board
ed her for Bellingham. Later the
skiff got adrift and when picked up
was found to contain large supply
Of food and clothing. Becoming
suspicious search was made of the
boat and pocket-book found which
contained clippings relative to sew
eral bank robberies, hold-ups. ETC.,
on the British side. and descrip-
ton of the two men who came in
the boat, and who were wanted by
the British authorities for numer-
Gus crimes. A letter was also
found, written by one of the men.
stating that he was an |. w. w. and
Socialist; that he was after the
plutocrats; that he would die fight
ing and hoped to take three or four
of the plutos with him. but that he
hsdsa nothing against the honest
w king g-man, ETC.. etc. 1t also
gave the names and address of rsla-
tives in Germany, who were to be
notified in case anything happened
to him.
Word was at once sent to Sheriff
Boyce and Deputy Collector Culver,
who phoned to Victoria and found
out who the men were, and who
were requested to be on the outlook
for them until the British author
tiles arrived.
When the City came into Orcas
Thursday one of the men stepped
off her. went to his boat and COM
menced to search for something.
Not finding what he wanted, he
asked if anyone had found a pocket
book and was told that no one had
done so.
The sheriff was notified that one
of the men had returned to Orcas,
and he. together with Deputy Col
lector Culver. Prosecuting Attorney
Christensen and Deputy Sheriff Jack
Douglas, impressed Gene Gould's
fast launch into service and rushed
to Orcas. Upon arrival there they
were told that the man was up at
the hotel and went up there to look
for him. They found him on the
porch and as they approached him
he started to back away from them
with his hands held in front of him.
Suddenly he ripped open his coat
and reached for a gun in his waist
band. At the same instant Sheriff
Boyce commanded Hands up!,'
and fired point-blank at the outlaw,
who returned the shot but hit no
one. the bullet striking the floor Of
tte porch between Boyce and Christ
ensen. He then turned and ran. tax
ing one more shot at Boyce as he
lodged around the corner of the
house. Four or five more shots
were fred as the desperate jumped
the fence and plunged into the
woods. A search proving futile.
Boyce sent Mr.. Gould and Mr.. Cul-
yer back to the Harbor for more
guns and ammunition.
On the return trip Mr.. Gould
was accompanied BY Virgil Frits

over to get an account Of the shoot

BODIES OF FIRE VICTIMS
ARE FROZEN IN THE ICE
Only One Corpse Recovered by Res
euers Working In Ruins of Dewey
Hotel at omaha-Find Register.

Frozen in the center of blocks OF
ice weighing thousands of tons. from
twenty to fifty bodies OF the victims
OF the Hotel Dewey fire are being
sought my rescuers Ever since the
fire was placed under control relays
OF men armed with axes and picks
have been hacking at the frozen de.
bris that lies in the basement OF the
former hostelry. Throughout the night
under the glare of electric lights
strung for the purpose the work con-
tinued. Only one body has been re-
covered.
How many bodies may be concealed
beneath the wreckage is still mat
ter of speculation. The register of
the hotel, reported burned, was in
reality recovered. This was learned
positively. The book was carried TO
a drug store across the street from
the hotel. Since it has disappeared.
The register. according to those who
scanned it before its mysterious dis
appearance. showed 133 guests regis
tered on the night of the fire.
So far police have been able to ac-
count for only thirty of these persons.
1t is believed that a number of the
others escaped
