The night porter at the hotel, hav
ing occasion to pass the door of the
room occupied by the two men, was
struck by their conversation, and hear
ing the jingle of money, he became
suspicious and went down stairs, noti
flying the night clerk of his suspic
ions. They went to the depot and
told the police what had happened.
Taking q couple Of the men who had
been robbed, along for the purpose
of Identifying the suspects, Gilbert
son, Westgaard and the G. N. yard
cop went to the room occupied by the
men. A search was made, but nothing
found. The jingling of silver coins
was heard, however, and Gilbertson
grabbing the bed clothes, pulled them
back, disclosing the entire haul, hid
den in the mattress. Included in the
pile was a bank draft, issued the day
before, by a bank at Hanley Falls tc
Harry Chatland. This served as 9
means of Identifying the two men and
they were taken into custody.
The hearing was held Saturday af
ternoon before Judge Muller. The
men gave their names as Patrick Muir
ply and Joseph Schweikert. They
waived examination and were bound
over to the grand jury.
Thinking it might be of interest tc
our readers to get a first hand" story
of the holdup, representative of the
Tribune interviewed a couple of the
men who were victims OF the holdur
artists. The first one, Walter Melch
er, of Cincinnati, O., had the follow
ing to say: "That was the first time
in my life that ever beat my way on
a freight, and the only reason did
so then, was to make connections
with the west bound passenger leav
/ ing Willmar for North Dakota. The
rest of the bunch in our car were
sleeping, and I was kind of dozing
when saw a couple of electric torch
es thrust thru the small door at the
end of the car. These were followed
by two men, each carrying big gun
Having an idea of what was coming
l put my pocket book in my hat. The
first thing I heard was an order o1
Hands up" We were then ordered
to get up, and made to face the wall
with our hands above our heads. One
man did the searching, while the 9th
er stood back and kept us covered
All the time while the search was go
ing on, they threatened to throw any
one who did not turn over all theil
money, out of the car. However
when they came to me, I told them
had no money, and luckily they failed
to look in my hat. After the search
they ordered us to the other end OF
the car, where he were told to remove
our shoes and stockings. At this time
however, the train began to slow up
and the men beat hasty retreat.
AFTER getting to this city we noti
fled the night police, and we're taker
to the hotel to identify a couple Of
suspicious characters. They proved
to be the right parties, and, altho they
put up quite fight, they were soo1
OverpOwered and taken to JAIL"

TWENTY men HELD
UP ON G. n. FREIGHT
Robbers Are Caught at Gen.
trail Hotel Of This
City.

Two men held up tra:n No. 572 on
the Sioux City division, short dis.
tance from this city, last Friday eve.
ming about 1880 o'clock. They made
successful getaway from the scene
of their crime, but were caught a few
hours later, in the Central Hotel, this
city. The hold up occurred between
Raymond and this city, and the vic
TINS were men OF the laboring class,
enroute for the harvest fields of North
Dakota. Most of them boarded the
train at Hanley Falls. The bandits,
it is supposed boarded the train at
Clara City.
The men were comfortably en-
scOnced in an empty box car, most
Of them peacefully sleeping. One or
two of the number were awake, and
noticed a couple of electric torches
thrust thru the small door at the end
of the car. They thought nothing of
this however, having an idea that the
brakemen were on tour of inspec-
ton. When the electric torches were
followed by two small sized cannons,
in the hands of two swarthy faced in
dividuals, however, things looked a
little different, and at the cry of
hands up," there was a general
scramble, with twenty pair of hands
pointing skyward.
One of the bandits did the search
ing, while the other kept the entire
crowd covered" with his gun. Every.
thing was done Systematically, show
ing that the two were not new at the
job. First the order went out for the
entire bunch to face the wall of the
car, after which each one was search
ed. They were VARIED that if, after
the search, any money was found,
which had not been given up, the
victim would be "plugged' and
thrown from the car. After going
thru the pockets of each victim, the
order was given to march to the other
end of the car and remove shoes and
sOx. While in the midst of this pro-
cess, the train slackened speed and
the hOldup men gathered their belong.
ings together and left.
They hid their guns and torches
near the stockyards, and then, figur-
ing there was no means of Identified.
tion to be found on them, they went
to the Central Hotel, and asked for
room for the rest Of the night.
81" In the meantime the train pulled In
to the yard, and the victims of the
holdup rushed out and notified the
police as to what had happened. Chief
Gilbertson and Patrolman Westgaard
searched several suspicious looking
characters at the depot, but nothing
was found on them.

Junk and The Law

It's not a great jump from the
courts of Dickens day to those OF
the present. In his novel BLEAK
House." Dickens attacked the Ehs-
lish Court of Chancery, and much
that he said could be applied IN
America.
Near the Court of Chancery stood
the shop OF Krook, rag and pottie
warehouse This musty old store
with it's rags and bones and bottles
was given the name of "Chancery
after the court. and Krook was duD-
bed the Lord Chancellor" after
the judge.
Krook himself tells why his junk
shop has thus been chrlstened.
"You see, I have so many things
here, he resumed, holding up the
lantern, of so many kinds, and all,
as the neighbors think, (but they
know nothing), wasting away and
going to rack and ruin, that that's
why they have given me and my
place a christening. And l have so
many old parchments and papers in
my stock. And l have a liking for
rust and must and cobwebs. And
all's fish that comes to my net. And
l can't bear to part with anything
I once lay hold of Tor so my neigh
bors think, but what do they know?)
or to alter anything, or to have any
sweeping, nor securing, nor clean
ing, nor repairing going on about me
That is why l have got the ill name
of chancery. l don't mind. / go
to see my noble and learned broth
er pretty we'll every day, when he
sits in the inn. He don't notice
me. but l notice him. There's no
great odds betwixt us. We both
grub on in a muddle.''

memory we commune together, hap
PLY as of yore.
How happy we were that flrst
year. Do you remember how SO
frequently we planned and sehemed
late in the night, grinning away 10
ourselves when Billy Waples' lights
would blink and blink and nearly
go out. and chuckling to ourselves
that the fireman had put on new
stick of wood when they flashed up
bright again. We loved Lynden
| the Beautiful, didn't we-loved it
in spite of the slushy streets and
the soggy graveled sidewalks; loved
it in spite of pumps that would
freeze up, in spite of the telephones
we had to crank, IL spite OF doz-
en- things we didn't like. why,
don't you remember, we used o1teh
TO saw that one view from the oIflce
steps on bright, clear frosty morn
ing was worth a Thousand lncohveh-
| iences-those hundreds of jagged,
| inspiring peaks to the north; old
Mount Baker grand and magnifi-
cent off to the east, and the Three
Sisters off to the South? Why, DO
you remember, how we used 10 go
out on the back porch of the Office
and pump water that WAS before
the addition-jUst to gaze ct nose
Three Sisters. l always convinced
myself that I could see a great
waterfall between two of the peaks
on particularly clear mornings. Then
there was the Maple lined streets
and the nearby hills. and Little Hol
land-Little Holland, cut into It's
checkerboard of well titled farms
each bordered with its ditch of run
ming water. All, Lynden, the Beau
ltiful-you had two wonderful lovers
| in Tribune and You have yet,
though | have deserted you.
Do you remember the time Rev.
Hoekenga scolded us for the lev
L ty in that article about the weather
how it took us back even though
we We're amused. We hadn't meant
trace of anything but fun in 1t.
We We're just SO happy we couldn't
help such things.
Do you remember the time Dad
True talked religion to us? Or say
do you remember that pay local
Charley Cline-he's passed on now
drought us. We wouldn't run 1t,
but we liked Charley a whole lot
.better than he liked US. And then,
the time Ed. Edison stopped his pa
per and we went right up and talk
ed like Dutch uncles to him, and he
grinned showing the whole or his
big loving heart in his ugly face
and resubscribed and increased his
advertising. How tickled we were
when B. C. Crabtree came in and
put those "bull calves" locals in.
He was just getting the first full
blood herd in the county, then.
Then, too, don't you recall when X.
E. Hawley brought in that ad for
the hall-said it was the only thing
he had to advertise, and he wanted
to help us grow. Remember that
time Jameson and me sat out on
the door step considering the adj
visibility of four columns weekly for
one year. Me for aud him only
half against. He wanted local page.
IL couldn't give him that because
Billy NAPLES had it, but | promised
him then and there that we'd make
the back page pay him. and he adj
mitted many times after that it did
admits yet, notice. Ralph Green
you know, wouldn't have anything
but editorial page for his ad. We
ought to have made him take q half
page, but we didn't for Frank KNAPP
The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1915-01-14

too, thought most folks would turn
to that page first Serrurier kept
that page too, but by the time he
came We We're beginning To have
our troubles and | doubt if any page
was worth as much as we thought.
Too bad we had to be divorced,
wasn't it dear? You have done
better in a worldly way and so
have 1 and I know you have grown
away beyond what you were when
we were together and so have l. L
dare say you are happier am
still, it does seem too bad, doesn't
it? 1t wasn't your fault exactly,
nor it wasn't mine exactly. / guess
if anything was to blame it was
Lynden the Beautifuls fault. You
liked fixings and l wanted you to
have them. There was nothing too
good for you and LINDEN and | did
not have the means to pay for them
all, and-well it was the usual re-
suit. But gee, it was worth it,
wasn't it Tribune? Don't believe
we'd do much different if We was to
do it over again, do you?
1 notice that you have a new COM
panion now and l judge from your
appearance that he loves you. He's
the second since i left. Mr. Rosen
zweig loved you l am sure-I could
see it in his goodbye. You are
lovable personality. You had lots
of friends when | was with you
l know you have more now, | am
glad of it. Let me tell you the
truth my dear-love begets love-
the more you love Lynden, the more
Lynden will love you. If you hate
it, even a tiny bit. hate will return
to you. l can't help noticing how
you are growing. You are carrying
nearly a dozen ads Of business men
| never knew, and nearly all the old
ones remain. Fully half of your
items are of people l can't spell the
names of, but the Wander Griends,
the Jacobsons, the Crabtrees, the
Serruriers, the Wander Yachts, the
Knapps, the Zweegmans, the Koks,
the Ruscoes, the Biehlers, and oh
dozens of the old ones are there
still l wish l could name them all
but then you do often and many
tunes, ana, tnuuSn we re not one,
anymore, yet that1l count | guess.
Love to you and Mr.. Lewis.
wish you all kinds of joy and pros
perity-all that you deserve and
| hope you will always love Lynden
as l feel you do now. Mr.. Lewis
will not be jealous if l subscribe
myself.
