Peacock, 214 Eleventh street, whle throughout the country detectives ara bending their energies - to cap ture the confidence men who ac complished the daring robbery ' Never in the history-of the North west, detectives declare, has a rob bery so daring nd; so euccesefui been brought to l'ght. Many of its features are so -remarkable, they state, that it seems almost incredi ble that tbey;can be'troei-Yet they are verified in every detail, as pub lished in.

Vance used every 'effort to persuade, her aged father to have nothing to do 'with the man who called himself Wil liam Dunn, and woo operated In Albany until he had won the entire confidence of Mr. Vance and-took him to Salem, where the $6,000 check was cashed atLadd & BuBh's Bank. - - i ' t. A d au gh ter 's lo ve, her plead ings and entreaties proved vain. The father turned a deaf ear to her. He ,ade her cease berating the man he aaid would be his greatest benefac tor, .! He persisted in following th J dttates of "Mr.jjDjiRn like as one tM uaugnter 8ioodHVntiei doorway, of their home at Albany und saw her gray-haired father start for the depot with the confidence man, Ehe 6till attempted to save him fiom the great mistake. She sent a friend to see. if he could not get her father away from V-Dnnn," but the aged man would Ept listen. i As a last desperate resort; and to block the etealrif it lay within her power, the daughter- telegraphed to an attorney at Salem, a friend of the family, to have him try his in fluence. . But when he tried to rea son with Mr. Vance, he turned away.' He went, with the confidence man, "Mr. Dunn," to the Ladd & Bush Bank, where he wrote out the check, where it was cashed and the coin pocketed, by ; the swindler. This was after the gold brick had been "assajed" at the fake office of the second confidence man, to show the greai value of the . ore . in the Arizona ,mine ther aged."man was made to believe he was buying. .1 "Dunn's" exceedingly clever ma nipulation of the swindle is said by local detectives to be the smoothest ever recorded. - ihey say , that a robbery so daring aud so fraught with'unusual details has no.been reported in this' country for many years, hey,; are utterly unable to account for the persistence ot the victim in plunging into the dtal, afier being warned, as he .was, by fcw daughter- and others..'; : Who "Dunu": really is, no detective seems to know, but the .local . officers be lieve they have a clue that . may lead to his arrestj and possibly , to the arrest of his partner, who work ed the "assay-office" end of the swindle. V, -..r,. ....,',,, :.,.-V...: "To label "Dunn" as a clever, conversation aliet, merely, is doing him an injustice the detectives state, for he not only worked the' game smoothly and. without a hitch, but he told his aged victim that he felt hurt to think Vance's - daughter should accuse him of being "crook ed."; He said, however, that ; her suspicions were probably due to her sex,' as women, he said, were ; nat urally suspicious of strangers. It would prove all right, he said , when the deal was made and her . father began coining motey from the mine he was buying.; . -. !. Mr. Vance was overjoyed at the deal, notwithstanding his daugh ter's attempts to show him his mis take. V Therefore, when he received the letter from "Dunn;" Saturday, saving he had swindled Vance, the latter for the first time realized that he had let slip a email, fortune, and fellio the floor with an attack of heart failure: He has been very ill eince. He was removed to Port land, where Dr. Daring has been in attendance. '. .: . : , . .The local police are doing all in their power to capture the two con fidence men, and believe that they have a good clue. ' Owing ,to the fact that "Dunn' was seen' by so many, he . can-be easily identified, if caught. - At Kings Valley. ' " . . -. V .
