MYRTLE CREEK, Ore., Feb. 21.
Sometime early Hits morning be
fore tho people of the town were
stirring yeggmen entered the store
owned by Klce Hros., blew open (he
safe with dynamite, stole nbout $100
in cash and nearly $7,000 worth of
notes, and made good their escape.
The safe was totally wrecked. So
ftir as can bo ascertained no goods
were taken by the men who commit
ted the deed, which would indicate
that they are old hands nt the busi
ness, as the criminal who has
played the game long never cnrrles
away nuythtng thnt may become evi
dence ngnlust him later. The notes,
)of course. If their negotiation Is ut-
tompted, might lead to the apprehen
sion of the men, but If they are
shrewd they may get rid of some of
them without much danger. The
only clew that Is entertained at pres
ent ns to the identity of the men is
that yesterdny two strangers wore
noticed loitering about town, and It
Ib believed by Borne that they might
possibly be connected with the af
fair. At any rate the men are gone,
nnd so Is the money and valuables
taken.
The sheriff's office was communi
cated with, hut as Mr. Fenton was In
the southern part of the county on
business, Deputy Sheriff Asher will
go to Myrtle Creek on this evening's
train to investigate the robbery.
In speaking to a News reporter
concerning the workings of the yegg
men. Deputy Sheriff Asher stnted It
as his opinion that the men were old
hands at the business. A Smith At
Wesson revolver and shoulder strap
that had been taken by tho robbers,
with the evident Intent of using It if
interrupted In their work, was found
.lust outside the door this morning.
This further fact Indicates that the
men wero desperate characters and
thnt they did not want anything thnt
could he Identified as coming from
tho store. The gun was simply held
In reserve for use In case they were
detected.
Deputy Asher nlso stated that the
door of the Myrtle Creek hank was
also found open this morning, nnd It
Is believed that the same men gained
an entrance there, but for some rea
son gave up their design of blowing
the bank safe. Whether the- were
compelled to abandon the loo' lug of
the bank by coming daylight, or
found the safe too hard a Job, is not
known.
