ON BANDITS' TRAIL Officers Know Who Held Up Train at Copley. ROBBERS CONFESS TO WOMAN Mrs. Thomas Whiteman, Lodging House Keeper of Dunsmuir, Re ceived Letters From George Gates, Princfpal in Affair. "BEDDING, Cal.. May 9. Mrs. Thomas Whiteman, of Dunsmuir, made a state ment to District Attorney Dozier in Red dins today regarding . the connection of George Gates and E. Vernon Gates, broth ers, -whose parents live in Alameda, with the hold-up of the Oregon Express at Copley on March 31, last. Mrs. Whiteman's story, in Trier, is that the Gates brothers, going under the names of Bruce Van Drake and Ed Lee, stayed at her Rlver vlew lodging-house at Dunsmuir for sev eral weeks preceding the crime; that they went south on the very train that was held up when the stop was made at Cop ley; that they returned to their rooms the Baturday succeeding the hold-up, which was on Thursday: that they left the fol lowing Monday and that she has since re ceived letter from George Gates, whom she knew as Bruce Van Drake, in whica 7xe had confessed the crime. The letters, of which she had received three, were turned over to the authori ties. All the letters were from George Gates. The last letter was dropped by him in Portland on the night of April 28, but was dated May 1. and In it Gates claimed to be in San Francisco intending to sail the next day for Australia. The officers established the bandit's Identity through a laundry mark. The mark was on a piece of handkerchief found in the Nigger Hill cabin near Keswick, and torn from the handkerchief that formed one of the masks, and was lound at the scene of the crime. Through the Redding steam laundry, and its Duns muir agent, the mark was found to be that of George Gates at Mrs. Whiteman's lodging-house In Dunsmuir. The detec tives later Intercepted all of George Gates' letters to Mrs. "Whiteman, addressed as Miss Agnes Brown, and then for fear- that she might know m6re than they had found out, made her come to District At torney Dozier here and make a complete confession. Through intercepting the let ters the officers had their hands on George Gates several times, but he managed to slip through their fingers each time. He Is now believed to be around Portland. Vernon Gates, the younger brother. Is said to have been in Alameda last Satur day, and Arnett Is in hiding in the Kla math Falls country. The whereabouts of the fourth man is unknown. Mrs. Whiteman was "on the carpet" nearly all morning and the only startling feature of her confession was that the Gates brothers left Dunsmuir on the train that was robbed at Copley when the Ore gon, Express stopped there for water. They must have jumped off, joined Arnett and the fourth man, donned their masks and proceeded to hold up the train and kill ilessenger O'Neill. Jealousy of Officers Prevents Capture "Jealousy existing between the Wells, Fargo & Co. and Southern Pacific detec tives has been the means of frustrating several good chaaces to catch the Copley trainrobbers," said a well-known local detective last night. "Each detective was afraid the other would make the arrest and the result Is that they tipped every thing off to the newspapers and the rob bers read the papers and acted according ly and have in this manner evaded cap ture with ease. Everything that comes out in the papers regarding the chase is read by the hunted men, who profit by the news. The authorities have had their hands on the robbers several times and the case has been one of the prettiest ever worked up on the Coast, but Jealousy and newspaper publicity have prevented either force of detectives from capturing the robbers." HARLOW MESSENGER PARDONED Reasons Given by the Governor in Granting the Petition. SALEM. Or.. May 9.-Specials-Governor Chamberlain today granted a par flon in favor of Harlow C Messenger, who was convicted of manslaughter and sen tenced to 15 years In the penitentiary. He has served two years of his time. Three reasons are given for the pardon that the killing may have been Justified, that the trial court committed errors which would have caused a reversal if the case h.ad been appealed, and that neither the trial Judge nor the District Attorney of fered objections to the granting of a par don. Messenger was convicted of the killing of Jesse P. Cotton. The evidence showed that the two men quarreled and there was some evidence which tended to prove that Messenger acted in self-defense. The court instructed the jury without qualifi cation that an Intent to murder Is conclu sively prosumed from the deliberate use of a deadly weapon causing death within a year. No appeal was taken in the Mes senger case, but soon afterward the Su preme Court reversed the case of State vs. Gibson when precisely the same Instruc tion had been given where self-defense was alleged by the defendant. Relatives of Messenger Interested themselves in his behalf and secured a strong petition for his ' pardon. The Governor has had the mnttor under consideration for some time and favorable action on his part was not unexpected. FORM OF APPLICATION To Be Used by State Land Board in Sales Under Carey Act.

Now and again there is an item in the newspapers concerning the birth of a puny baby so small that a quart enp tolas it comfortably. If the article told all the facts it would probably tellalso of a mother who in weakness and misery Lad looked forward to the baby's advent with shrinking and fear. To have fine, healthy children the mother must be healthy, and it is the common testimony of mothers that the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion not only pro motes the mother's health but also gives her strength to give her child. "Favorite Pre scription " accom plishes these results by tranquilizing the nerves, promot ing a healthy appe tite, anu eivinR re freshing sleep. It increases physical vigor and gives great muscular elasticity, so that the baby's advent is practically painless. It is the best of tonics for nursing mothers. "I gladly recommend Dr, Pierce's Favorite Prescription,'' writes Mrs. J. W. G. Stephens, of Mila, Northumberland Co., Va. "Before my third little boy was born I took six bottles. He is the finest child and has been from birth, and J suffered rery much less than I ever did before. I unhesitatingly advise expectant mothers to usr the ' Favorite Prescription.' " Dr. Pierce now feels fully warranted in offering to pay $500 in legal money of the United States, for any case of Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolap sus, or Fallintr of Vomb which he can not cure.
