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.

with a rag, were forced into his mouth
and securely tied, so that he was un
able to raise any alarm. 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

of the bank, and then came into the

An unknown person attempted to rob
Wm, Forsythe'a house at Clackamas
Heights on Tuesday last. 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

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.
