CLUE TO ROBBERS
FOUND NEAR CREEK
Attorney Walter Winslow Discovers
Clothing stolen From Mrs. Jo-
seph Albert.

What is believed to be a clew to sew
eral recent rObberies which have oc.
Cured in Salem recently was found last
Sunday evening by Attorney Winslow,
while he was walking to his home on
North Church street. Mr.. Winslow s
discovery proved to be a portion of the
contents of suit case belonging to
Mrs. Joe Albert. The suit case, when
stolen, contained some elegant ladies
silk gowns, and wearing apparel be-
longing to her little daughter, and it
was taken in broad daylight from an
auto standing in front of the Capital
National bank.
Mr.. Winslow was within a short dis.
tance Of his home, which is located i'm.
mediately north of Mill creek on
Church street, when he noticed two men
dart from behind the brush near the
creek and jump into a waiting rig and
drive furiously down the street north.
He also noticed a pile of clothing near
the creek, but did not investigate
further until Monday morning, when he
found the delicate dresses. Day Officer
Welch located two small boxes with the
names Of couple of young people writ.
ten on them, and knew at once that
they belonged to the stolen suit case.
Mrs. Albert was on her way to attend
wedding in Portland, and had the two
boxes, which contained presents for
the bride and groom, in the case.
Day Officer Welch is inclined to be.
lieve that there is an organized band Of
thieves in the vicinity Of Salem, and
that the two men whom Mr.. Winslow
frightened are members Of the gang An
accurate description of the men could
not be given by the attorney, owing to
" being rather dark at the time he ran
across them, but the officers are bend.
ing their efforts to locate the owner Of
the horse and rig, which was described
fairly well by a woman who had oh
served it standing in the road earlier
IN the evening.
Mrs. Albert s suit case is still missing
together with several other articles Of
clothing, and a silk dress worth about
500.

MARITIME, flushed with anger, hotly
rotorted, and Watts shouted again:
"West Virginia knows how to take
care of her own people. Anyhow, the
state does not need to go TO the mosqui
to'laden swamps Of New Jersey to learn
lessons In sanitation,
This reused MARITIME to fighting pitch,
and for some minutes the committee
room rang with denunciation, as both
the senator and Watts tried to shout
each other down. Finally Senator
Swanson restored order, and rebuked
Watts declaring that MARITIME was
within his rights in his cross-examina-
tion.
