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

Millhollen and Sheriff Word and Deputies

by another name. "Sheney" Smith and

Masked Highwaymen Lay in Wait,
Accomplish Purpose and Escape, i
Moses and Philip Heffler. fruit vendors,
were held up and robbed in their barn on
Second, between Lincoln and Caruthers
streets, at 7:45 last night, by two masked
and armed men, who followed them and
closed the door of the building, while they
stripped tha victims of the receipts of tho
day's sales! 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. We do not claim that
