E. L. Mick of Indiana left yester

here several days ago for the pur

the merits and demerits of the val

locality in Indiana had previously
been here and had looked over this
section of Oregon, aa well as the
Hood River country and the Yakima
valley, but they did not consider
themselves competent to ludge as to
which of these localities would be
the most profitable for them to In
vest their money, hence the visit of
Mr. Mick..
The gentleman came to this valley
first and when he landed here In
tended visiting the other localities
we have named, but after remaining
here several days and driving over
the valley he decided his friends'
money would be well spent It land
here was purchased, and Instead of
looking elsewhere he took the back
trail and will advise that Invest

PORTLAND, Dec. 7. The East
Side Bank, located east of Washing
ton street and Grand avenue was
held up and robbed at alx o'clock
last night by three unmasked men.
It Is understood they secured about
16,500.
The Presiaent of the bank, Henry
H. Newhall, and son, Roger Newhall,
were lust closiug the day's business
when two men armed with revolvers
entered. President Newhall and bis
son were commanded to hold up
their hands and while thus under
cover of the robbers revolvers one
man crawled through the teller's
window and passed out the gold,
currency and silver to his confeder
ates. He then crawled back Into the
foyer through the window.
The three men made their escape
before an alarm could be given.
From the neatness of the lob
and tbe expeditious way In which the
robbers made their escape the police
surmise they must have had other
assistance near the bank, for as soon
as the affrighted bankers recovered
the alarm was sounded. Newhall
and bis son started In pursuit and
each with a revolver fired several
shots at the fleeing robbers. Both
sides of the river Is being patroled
by corps of police detailed, but it is
no easy matter to apprehend the
criminals.
Was a Hold Heed.
The crime is perhaps the boldest
ever committed In this city and caps
the series of murders for robbery
and a general reign of terror which
a gang of yeggmen and holdups have
created In Portland during the past
three months.
President Newhall made the fol
lowing statement to the Associated
Press:
'We were lust preparing to close
up for the night when the robbery
occurred. Tbe bookkeeper, Mr. Col-
ton, had lust gone out to post a
letter and my son Roger and myself
were completing the details Incident
to the closing of a bank when tbe
unmasked man entered.
"He had a big automatic revolver
In his hand and ordered us to hold
up our hands and then commanded
us to retire to my private office. We
were In no position to make a de
fense and Immediately compiled. Al
most In an Instant another man en
tered and a third one was standing
outside. The first man, protected
by a revolver In the bands of his
confederate, then crawled through
the teller's window, always keeping
us covered, and commenced to band
out the coin and currency to his com
panion. The third man then entered
and between them they took away
a bag of gold containing $8000, a
package of currency, containing
5300, mostly In large bills, and a
miscellaneous collection of coins
In all about $16,500, I think. They
had a receptacle of some kind and
dumped a portion of the loot Into It.
Robbers Made Their Escape.
"Having secured practically all
the coin which was In sight, the rob
bers made a hurried exit. My son
Roger and myself, each securing re
volvers ran out after them. The
robbers ran easterly In the darkness
on Washington street towards tbe
slough which lies In that vicinity.
t We each fired several shots but ow
IliiK to the darkness we think we did
not hit them. They did not return
lour fire and disappeared as though
I the earth had opened and swallowed
I them up.
"From the time which the robbers
selected for the crime I am of the
opinion they must have watched us
for some time and knew exactly what
time the clerks went home and the
other conditions for the necessary
completion of the lob. I have a fair
ly accurate description of one of the
men.
"The robbery does not affect the
stability of the hank -in the least.
We have ample money on hand to
meet all requirements."
Xo Trnre of Robber.
PORTLAND. Dec. 7. Up to a late
hour last night, the police and the
detectives hud secured no tangible
clue to the identity of the robbers
nor their means of escape from the
scene. The generally accepted theo
ry Is that the men had a buggy or
perhaps an automobile stationed at
some point distant from the bank
and escaped In It.

MYSTERY 1EEIEXS.
Case of Henry Itoite Xow Looks Like
One of Suicide.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 7. To '
further establish the suicide theory
aa being accountable for the death
of Henry Bose, who received a pack
age of strychnine In a special de
livery letter and took It aa a cure
for indigestion, dying shortly after
wards, the police yesterday estab
lished the fact that Bose threatened
to commit suicide three years ago.
Boas waa detected In a forgery
committed in 1905, when he at
tempted to negotiate a loan of $10
from C. H. Morrell, a money lender.
He had signed the name of John E.
Whys, postofflce clerk, and when
he found himself detected Bose
threatened to commit suicide If the
matter was pressed against him.
The matter was afterwards dropped.
Bose had been employed In the post
office, but had committed a slmlllar
forgery a couple of years previous to
the one In 1905, and waa dismissed
from the department.
Expert on the Case.
Efforts were made yesterday to
have Handwriting Expert Kytka
compare the letter accompanying
the poison with samples of the
knonw writing of Bose, with a view
of establishing the fact whether he
bad sent the letter containing the
poison himself. The detectives were
earning the letter about with them
and a comparison could only be
made by Kytka of photographic
copies of portions of the letter, and
he expressed himself as far from
being able to form any decided
opinion on the subject.
Mrs. Lena Peebles, a resident of
San Jose, to whom the letter con
taining the poison was submitted
for inspection. Identified the writing
as that of Bose. She bases her know
ledge of his writing upon the com
parison of the letter with that of a
manuscript of a play written by Bose
three years ago and which he sub
mitted to her for review. The manu
script was quite voluminous and
gave her a good opportunity to
learn its characteristics.
Tbe young man to whom Miss Kel
liher is supposed to be engaged and
has heretofore been referred to as a
young man living In Portland, Is
said to be Bert McCarley, formerly
a resident of San Jose. He left San
Jose five weeks ago. She accepted
a pair of diamond earrings from
Bose since her fiance's departure for
the northern city, but states that she
protested against accepting the pre
sent, and only consented to accept
the Jewels when she saw that Bose
would be grently offended should
she refuse them.
Girl's Letter to Rose.
In contradiction to the statements
made by the young woman the fami
ly of Bose made public a letter writ
ten by Miss Kelllher to Bose on
December 1, In which she said In
part:
"Was cleaning my earrings the
other night and one of the little
screws In the back went down the
pipe. Talk about a scared kid, I
went the next day and bad new ones
made. It I had lost a diamond It
would have brogen my heart. If I
have such a thing. You say I have
not, but I think I have.
"Do not mention anything I tell
yon, Tony. You do not know who
to trust. If you send that box I will
open It before It gets here. You
know I am an Inquisitive little rat.
Sis. sends her best.
"If you want a Christmas tree we
will have one.
"Write soon, good-bjr. SIS."
Present for Miss Kelllher.

Elwood & Burnett
Opposite the Nash
the family of Bose states, Is a box
found iu his office containing a
chocolate set of china, hand-painted
and with Miss Kelliber's monogram
on them, which he was going to send
to her for a Christmas present.
Against the suicide theory John
R. Yllson. who was employed by
Bose, stated yesterady that he was
with Bose in his office all Wednes
day morning, went to lbnch with him
and was with him up to 1:45 o'clock,
and that Bose could not have mailed
the letter to himself, which was re
ceived at the postofflce at 3 p. m.
Investigation of this showed that
Bose could have dropped the letter
In the building where his office Is
at Third and Market streets; that it
would have been gathered up about
2:30: would have arrived at the
postofflce before 3 p. m., and would
have been delivered back to him
within an hour. Owing to his hav
ing worked In the postofflce It Is
stated he knew this.
