During tho noon hour Wednesday, shortly afu r 12 oWk,' while Mr. Ed' win T. Ilolgate, teller of the First Na nuns i nana oi r.asi rorllaml. was in temporary charge of the establish ment, the other attaches Mug ahxent at lunch, his attention was attracted by the appeaianeeof a peculiarly attired man standing at the counter. Leaving his deck, where he had been engaged at work, Mr. Ilolgate advanced toward the counter to w ait on him. As he did so, the stranger drew a small bottle from his pocket, filled with some form of liquid, and exclaimed in an excited tone: "This is nitro-glycerine, and there is enough to blow you and I into hell, if I drop it!" Then I took a good look at the man," said Mr. Ilolgate. "When I first saw the bottle in liia hand, I thought him to he some kind of a peddler, but so soou ass he mentioned nitro-glycerine, 1 knew 1 had a crank to deal with. 1 also noticed then that the man was wearing fslse whis kers, and, while his features seemed in some wav familiar, I could not distin guish who the man wax." Idler Ilolgate started toward the vault, where a pistol was kept, hut as he di J so the man drew a pistol from his coat pocket and ordered him to throw up his hands, threatening to shoot if he refused. There was nothing else to be done on Holgate'a part, and his hands went up. The robber by this time was greatly excited, trembling like a leal, and again he ordered the teller to keep his bands up and turn around. Ilol gate did not want to turn around, but the order was repeated with the warning that if not complied with there would hH some shooting; so, making a virtue ol necesMity, Ilolgate turned around, won. dering il he would he shot in the hack Tl. - i .

Then Holnate was ordered to get down behind the counter, which he did. The next iiiovh of the robber was to lasten the front door so that no one could get in the hunk, which he did by placing an iron bar, sharply pointed on eitner end, in such position that any effort to open the door would drive the iron deeper into th woodwork of ooth the door and floor. This done, the rubber passed through he private room used by the direclois of the bank, and then came into the main office and immediately started ti.

He was ob served by some neighbors who saw him entering and soon gave the alarm. He escaped through the back door but with out bis gun, which he had left outside be fore entering the house. The owner of the gun can have the same by calling at the sheriffs and proving property. I of Mr Southward, teller of the bank, across the street, the robber threw his pistol away ami tru-u uui mat lie was not armed, aim not, io snooi. men there was a crash oi glass caused by I he breaking of tne door windows, and the form of Southworth appeared in the opening, armed with a wicked-locking shotgun with which he covered the robber in en forcing his orders not to move. Mr. M. D. George, a blacksmith, was at work on the door, which was soon re leased from its fastenings, and Patrol man Hudson, of the police force, rushed into the bank, grappled with the robber, and soon had him in custody. Ilolgate, Hie teller, was speedily released from his unpleasant situation, his arms unbound and the gag taken from his mouth. An examination of the money trays disclosed mat one siacx oi x.'U pieces, $400 in all was missing, which the robber bad taken out and put in a sack. The false whickers used bv the roblier were then removed, when Holirata din- covered to his astonishment that tlie man was none other than Rev. J. C. Read, a Baptist minister, lately livinir in Oiegon City, but who had formerly pre sided over a church of the shiiib denomi nation in fcast Portland. The moment that Ilolgate saw who his assailant and the would-be robber was. numerous inci- dentscameto his memory. Mr. Reed had been in the habit of calling at t;ie bank on various occauions. and Holirate also then remembered that Read had always timed his calls so as to be there at the noon hour, inquiring for Mr. Milton A. Stratum, president of the bank, with whom he was on ierms of friendship The teller was generally alone in the bank at that hour, and Reed would re main some little time, enuairinir in ui-n- eral conversation. He also recalled the fact that while Read was in the bank he would look around as if inHpectimr the establishment, and he now suppoxes his purpose was to take in all the surround ings, and arrange his plan for robbing the establishment at the first favorable opportunity. It was undoubedly the timely appear- nuucui mi, nuiuuworiH mac prevented he been preparing for such an emergency Mr. Benjamin II. How-man, the cashier and olhei officers of the East Portland First National, warmly thanked him (or saving Ihem from piobahly a great loss. It was not until the affair was all over that he allowed the least excitement, lie was besieged by his friends fur ac counts of the incident until nearly worn out. Mr. Southworlh Is a voung man, about &) vears of age, married, ami has been iMiokkcepor for the Cllixcna1 hank for several years, ami is a man highly rvniiwieu in tne community. Kguii'Kh roa ih'sinkss. hen searched at the police station v niei .tiiiiio aim mo detectives were not a little mneiined to learn the methods employed by Read in his hank raid. I he pistol ho Used is only a toy atlair that would hardly do much harm hut other preparations he made leads to the suspicion that either Read had in tuitive knowledge of things most needed by a bank robber, or that he Is not an enure stranger to the business. In his pockets were found a minilxT of stout cords, so coiled as to bo ready for instant use, W hile in the grip w inch he carried were a pair of goggles and manv other things that come in handy Io those who engage in the business of robbery. TI1K HOIIHKK IN JAIL, Rev. J. 0. Read was immediately af. ter his airest, taken to the central po nce station on this side of the river, wnere ne was closely interrogated hv I hiel AI into concerning his attempt to ron tne bank. lie gave as a reason that be was out of money, in desperrto cir ctiuistances, and had no other wav of making a misc. He stoetlv denied hav ing anv accomplice in the robbery, and said he alone was guihv, not even his wile knowing of his intention. After his interview with Chief Minto, the prisoner was taken upstairs, and con fined in the lartie east cell of the jail building set apart for such as he. lie told the following ror to an Uiegoniaii representative who had met in foimer years: "I have really not much to say. You know of the circumstances under which 1 left here about three years ago, when I went to my brother's, in Moline, 111. Alter being there for a while. 1 became all right again mentally and took charge of a church at Streator, near Chicago. I was happy in my work there and pros pering, but I had to leave as mv wife could not live ip such a climate. I came back to Portland The East Portland church, of which I had been nastor re fused to grant me a letter of withdrawal, and some of the members said that there was something bad almiit mv leav ing. Afier many efforts I finally se cured a hearing before a church council of 27, and the result of the investigation was that there was no charge against me and 1 was granted a letter of dismia eion. 1 went to Oregon City to live, wneie i nau lormeriy had charge of chuich, and fur about two months preached .n the opera house there. The Kaptist ministers all snuhlied me, and every hand seemed raised against me, preveiiliug my getting any work to do I hey acted meanly about it, so that it graled on my nerves and mind. I had lo work for my wife and children, and wnen l would try to get some employ me m it was oniv to ie snuniied. 1 am ol a piud and sensitive nature, ami this continual snubbing cut dow n into the quick. Alter 'tanking over many wavs. i - al " aim conjuring all manner of phtts to hnd Hiinport for my wife and children, 1 Dually made up my mind to rob the bank. It was a deliberate determina tion on my part. I had to have money and the spirit came oyer me to raise money in the manner which 1 attempted. " I disguised myself so as to prevnt any one recognizing me. The false whis kers I had on were the same I bought in .streator for use in a Sunday school Christ mas anniversary, when I was Santa Claus. the bottle I use I was filled with watr. I had read arcounts of how some one in the East had used nitio-glvcerine or Something else to scare men to give up money, and I adopred that ruse. The pistol I had I also bought in Streator. The place for a time was infested with robbers, and my wife got me to huv the weapon for protection. I have nothing tdo now but to confess my fault and throw myself on the mercy of the court." That Rev. J. C. Read should develop in'o a highwayman was a shock to his friends and a surprise to his acquaint ances in this citv where the news was received Wednesday of his attempted hold up of the Portland bank. He held the pastorate of the Bapt st church in Oregon City for nearly three years and wan considered one of the brightest pul pit orators of the city and the church re- grcttid his loss when he resigned to ac cept a call to Portland, from which place be so mistenously disappered two yaais ago ami turned up at his old home .n Illinois, stating that' he had no knowl edge of his clandestine trip. His family f illowed him and he soon was in charge of a large church in Streator, Illinois. He resigned this last summer to come h ick to Oregon for his wife's health and settled in this city. His former actions had caused a distrust of him and he was received coldly by many of the prominent Baptists of Portland and Oregon City. To retaliate on them as some claimed and to provide himself with an income he conducted service in Shively opera house and attempted to organize a workingmcn's church. It proved a failure and his financial affairs distressing him caused him to became Lenla-llriiy. Mr. J.C.
