HELD UP ON THE HIGHWAY.

Friday evening Marshal Weldon re-
celVed notice by telephone that rob-
berry had been committed at Chelan,
with a full description of the two men
and the car they We're riding in, but
without particulars as to the extent
OF the crime committed. The officer
went on guard at the bridge across
the Similkameen all of Friday night,
but no such outfit appeared on the
scene. Saturday the report gained cir
culatlon about town that bank lad
been held up at Chelan Friday after
noon by two men dressed in khaki and
money and securities to the amount
OF $4,000 carried away. BY a peculiar
circumstance the Gazette learned the
nature OF the robbery and the extent
Of the loss.
Saturday afternoon Jay Morrison, Of
Tonasket and Lawrence Dallam. of
Wenatchee were on their way north
by auto and at point on the road
about midway between Chelan and
Pateros they overlook a young man
limping along and carrying a grip.
They asked the stranger to get in and
ride. The crippled stranger looked the
occupants of the car over carefully
and hesitated for some time before
accepting the invitation. Then A.. ax-
planned why he had hesitated in ac-
cepting the kindly offer According to
his story he had been at work in Doug
las county and had had a one hundred
dollar bill changed in Wenatchee,
making some small purchase, and
started out to walk to Pateros, ais
destinat ton. On the road a car con-
tanning two young men dressed in
kakhi overlook him and invited MIN
to ride. He hoped in and the car was
driven but short distance when one
OF the men armed with a heavy club
got out of the Car and ordered the
wayfarer to push up his hands and
then frisked MIN of his money and set
him on foot. This made him leary of
accepting invitations to ride and he
had refused several lifts before the
boys overlook him and induced him
to give his feet rest.

A very heavy rain fell in this part
of the valley all day Monday, which
is an unusual visitation at this season
of the year. 1t was a perfect soaker. SO
far as can be learned no particular
damage resulted, although If there is
any loose wheat down, that may be
injured. 1t may also effect some Of the
tomatoes. but the loss in that instance
will be made up by more tomatoes.
The benefit will far outweigh any
damage that may have resulted, and
the moisture will put the ground in
fine condition for fall plowing. The
rain was followed Tuesday morning
by delightful sunny weather.

ROBINSON'S ANIMAL SHOW.

Robinson's Animal Show. travelling
IN seven or eight large trucks, fitted
up especially for the accommodation
OF animals, and the convenience of the
attaches, making a home on wheels
for them, reached Oroville Sunday
night just in time to have all calcula-
t1ons knocked in the head by the
heavy rain. AS the tent leaked and the
rain came down almost in buckets
the interior of the tent was about as
much saturated as the world out doors
making 1t impossible to give a per-
formance in the afternoon. The wealth
er conditions Were so discouraging
that the manager had decided not to
g1ve8 a show in the evening. but at
the urgent request of the few that
gathered early in the evening the cal
Hope was turned loose and much to
the surprise of the show people a
large crowd braved the moist condi-
tions of the atmosphere and nearly
every seat under the big top was oc-
cup1ed The manager explained that
owing to the wet condition of the
grounds It would be impossible to give
all of the performance that usually
made up the program. but he exhibited
the trained animals. which did mar
velous stunts, and put up a snow that
proved highly satisfactory to all pres
ent. Tuesday morning the caravan
pulled out for Tonasket, and from
there went on to Republic and other
stands through the Colville valley.

Preparations for the formal evacua-

The exodus of Greeks. Armenians

ward-bound ships are crowded. The
cancellation of westbound traffic, be-

added to the general confusion and

The soviet repatriation commission,

which is understood to be causing the
government some embarrassment
Several thousand Russian refugees
are still here. Many Of them are po-

that the soviet government is. trying
to bring about their return also. An
