It was all done while the men who had tho combination to the safe in his head and the keys to the Inner doors In his pockets was talcing his leisure in a room upstairs. This man was A. J. Deltz. manager of the hotel until Saturday last, when he turned over the hotel, the guests, the good-will of the house, to Levens. except the combina tion and keys to the safe. "Why did not you ask him for them?" Levens was asked yesterday. "I didn't," was the manager's reply. 'Why did he not turn them over to you?" lie didn't." A string of questions and answers of this sort resulted in tho information that Mr. Deltz had kept the combina tion and keys because it suited him to do so, and because Mr. Levens, for reas ons of Ills own, had not asked that they be turned over te him. Yesterday morning two guests in the hotel came to Mr. Levens and asked for Certain sums of money they had deposited in the safe some time prior to last Saturday. They were sent to Mr. Deltz. Two minutes later they wore back with the Information that Mr. Deltz re fused to open the safe. Mr. Levens is a man of action. He knew of various ways of killing a cat besides choklns It with cream. He sent out and located a man who knew how to drill holes in safes and open them by that means. , The guests got their money, and as far as is known Mr. Deitz still has the rested by Sheriff Word and his deputies, and are incarcerated in the County Jail. The officers assort that they have suffi cient evidence against tho men, and it is reported that a confession has been made by one or more of tho number. Tho leader of the gang, J. F. Kingsley, and his lieutenant, Rand, escaped, and Sheriff Word went to Seattle yesterday in an ef fort to locate them. Deputy Sheriff Millhollen, of Linn Coun ty, came to Portland Saturday. Ho had a clew which the Portland officers fol lowed, with the result .that a successful raid was made on Saturday night by Mr. Millhollen and Sheriff Word and Deputies Morden. Grussi and Parrott- Tho men taken Into custody are "Sheney" Smith, Tom Dunn, Gporgc Culver and T. Dar ling. Dunn was apprehended at his home, a shack at 646 Second street, where ho has been living with a woman, who passed as his wife, but who is known to the police by another name. "Sheney" Smith and Culver were 'taken from a house nt 44S Second street, and Darling was arrested In Jho Philadelphia Lodging-House. Tho residences of the accused were thorough ly searched, and money was found which It Is said can be Identified as taken from the bank in Lebanon.

From. Moses '$15 was taken, arid from Philip 512. This is an approxi mate amount, the peddlers being unable to state exactly, as they had much small change. The sensational hold-up 'and robbery has a parallel in tho caso of the murder of Nathan Calof, at his home In South Port land. IS months ago, except that these highwaymen met with no resistance and were not obliged to uso their weapons. In the Calof case they killed the aged fruit vendor In his barn. Tho robbery was reported to Captain Moore, commanding the first relief of police, and Station Officer Qulnlan was dispatched to investigate. The Hcfftlers returned to hesdquarters with him, after which Detectives Kerrigan and Snow took up tho case. Descriptions of the highwaymen were given by tho victims, but as white cloths hid tho faces of the robbers during tho affair, it will be a hard matter to Identify them. If arrested. The robbers evidently laid in wait for the Hefflers. When tho latter reached the barn with their horse and wagon, after the day's work, the highwaymen were present to take the proceeds of the sales. They made the two peddlers go into tho barn, closed the door and then went through the pockets of the brothers. ."The men appeared cool and exhibited no symptoms of excitement." said Moses Heffler. "One of them searched me and the other my brother. They took all the proceeds of the day. After finishing their work, they backed to the door, shut it again, and went away." Shortly after Kerrigan and Snow as certained the facts from the victims they went out and arrested James Grafton and Tom Murphy. Both were identified as the" guilty men. Grafton has been arrested once before, on a charge of simple larceny. He had just $12 In his possession and a handker chief and revolver. The detectives are confident they have the right persons.

The Laxative of Known Qualitm There are two classes of remedies: those of known qual ity and which are permanently beneficial in effect, acting .gently, in harmony with nature, when nature needs assist ance; and another class, composed of preparations of unknown, uncertain and inferior character, acting tempo rarily, but injuriously, as a result of forcing the natural functions unnecessarily. One of the most exceptional of the remedies of known quality and excellence is the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., which represents the active principles of plants, known to act most beneficially, in a pleasant syrup, in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to con tribute their rich, yet delicate, fruity flavor. It is the remedy of all remedies to sweeten and refresh and cleanse the system gently and naturally, and to assist one in overcoming consti pation and the many ills resulting therefrom. Its active princi ples and quality are known to physicians generally, and the remedy has therefore met with their approval, as well as with i the favor of manv millions of well informed rjersonswho know of their own personal knowledge and from actual experience thatit is a most excellent laxative remedy.
