Special to The Evening News.) I YONCALLA, June 24. With the' return of the posse which has been J in search of the recent hold-up men Interest in the chase has been re newer and every one is anxious to learn the particulars of the chase to date, but members of the posse are rather reticent about relating any very detailed account. One member, however, has made known several instances connected with the affair which must have at times beeu hu morous as well as thrilling and excit ing. Last Sunday morning the hound, in charge of Guard Miles, picked up the scent of the bandits near the barn of J. 11. MeClarnan.j residing northwest of the city a short distune, which (thy followed for some distance when a pair or glove were found, with which the dog was scented afresh and started out with renewed vigor, giving voice to his work In a ma n ne r w h ieh assu red all thai the right trail was being followed. After following the trail for several miles the scent was lost and after beating around for several hours without regaining . the scent the posse returned to this city and decided to await until morning when thev would again try to regain the trail. By the time li was light enough to see to travel the following morning the posse had conceived the idea that the men wanted were local parties and that If such was the case their route could ensily he found us thev would doubtless select the old Mini pin trail over which to make their escape. Bright and early Mon day morning the posse was carried a few miles west In Huntington's auto to a point where the road diminishes into a mountain trail when all left the auto and nHer scenting the hound the hunt was once more on. After some distance had been cover ed the hound picked up a trail, pre sumably that of the bandits, which was followed for several miles, being lost at times only to he agnin taken up where the .pursued chanced to hit the open ground. At a signal sta tion a deserted cabin was searched, but no dellnite truce of the bandits was found. Again taking up the scent the hound followed the trail to the Umpiina river where IP was found that the bandits had stolen a skiff and had rowed theniMelves tn the opposite side. A deserted camp was also found where the scent was taken up afresh and all menibres or the posse wore certain that the men would he sighted within a few hours In the vlclnily of Loon l.aku oc curred some of the highest excite ment m the chase. The posse had departed from the vicinity of the Loon Lake school house and had proceeded but a few miles when a resident of that neighborhood report ed that two very auspicious charac ters had been lurking in tho vicinity of the school house. The posse Im mediately returned to the vlclnily of the supposed bundlt enmp and Just Arrived Ladies', Misses' And Children's Dresses i. l Pin Millinery and Ladies' Toggery All Millinery at Big Reductions SPECIAL on Shirt Waists 12 (11 Km liy Front Walntn for I.IW $175 Kin'by Front WalHtK for I.1W 1 75 Linen Tailored Walntn for l.m 2 (14 Linen Tailored Walnti for tl.llO 13 (10 Llnenj Tailored Wal.ia for 1.0.1 after circling the place a few times discovered a small camp Are burning a short dlstuuce from the road. Af ter a bit of maneuvering the posse brought up nt the camp aud demand ed of the much frightened occupants what their business In that vicinity j was. After a short breathing spell I the campers Informed tho posse that they were ministers of the gospel ; seeking to enlighten some benighted: soul and were not fugitives from jus tice for having filched the soul of a few of I'ncle Sam's mail pouches. The posse accordingly withdrew tn search of other clews. Several men are yet searching for the bandits aud it appears to be the belief of most members of the returned posse thnt the men are in hiding some where in the vicinity of Loon Lake as the region south of that place Is j densely wooded nnd In many places: very rough, making It next to Im-1 possible to And anyone who might be In biding there. Thnt the bandits are thoroughly acquainted with the country Is evi denced from the fact that they have not npponred at any settlement and that they have succeeded In thus far eluding all efforts to capture them, no one. so far ns konwu, hav ing so much as caught n glimpse of the bandits. Near the spot where the looted mall pouches wore found a coat was also picked up. Several dorjes have been lu circulation re garding the coat and nrtlclee found therein, some nvering that a letter was found bearing the name of one if the men under suspicion and that several letters have been found scat tered along the supposed trail of the bandits; this story is absolutely un founded so far iih letters are concern ed ns there was no such evidence found. There were, however, several unused postal cards, (scenic) nnd a photo of a lady lu one of the pockets of the coat, also a collar, number l4Vi. aside rrom theso articles noih ing was found. Another story which found many believers was (hat (he head of a vonng goat had been found nenr the bandits' trail. It being the theory that the haudlts had killed the ani mal for food. An Interview with n member of the posse revealed the fact that the goat head in question was that of an animal which had evidently been killed hy some varmlt, as the bead showed conclunlvo evi dence or having been gnawed upon.
