The reward . will be In addi tion to those offered by the railroad company and Yakima County. NORTH YAKIMA. Wash., Dec 17. (Special.) The robbers who held up the North Coast Limited at Hillside aiding at the Yakima Canyon. 11 miles north of here,, evidently boarded the train while at this place, as the train did not stop until It was compelled to by the robbers at Hillside aiding-. A boy who Is being held at Ellensburg was on tho blind bag gage He says the two men pot on top of the mall-car at this place and rode to Hillside siding. At that point they climbed down' from the air to the rear rf the tender, while the train was run ning at full speed. The engineer and llreman did not see them till they point ed guns into th-lr faces and commanded them to stop the train. The fireman was ordered back to cut loose the express and mail-car. which he did. The engineer then pulled the two cars about a half-mile up the road, and he and the fireman were taken back to the express car. The engineer was ordered to place a stick of dynamite un der the door. This exploded, but two phots were necessary to blow open the car. The engineer was forced to enter tho car ahead of one of the robbers, and five shots were used before the two safes were blown open. After gathering up tho valuables and placing them In his pocket, the robber Jumped out of the car. and joining his companion, the two started down the track toward the passenger coaches. This morning a glove was found on the hillside near the place, and two pairs of overalls were picked out of the rlvcr As each man was dressed in overalls, it Is believed that they discarded, them and then boarded the passenger train and went with It to Ellensburg or far ther west. The Sheriff's posse has not yet found any clew to the Identity of the two men. HOBO IS BADLY FRIGHTENED Lay on Top of -Express-Car While Safes AVcre 'Blown Open. TACOMA. Wash.. Dec. 17. (Special.) Nearly paralyzed with fright and clinging to the roof for dear life., a hobo, was dis covered by the train crew on top of the baggage car of the North .Coast Limited, which was held up Saturday night. Dur ing the half-hour In which the hold-up men had been engaged In blowing open the safes of the car directly below, and while splinters flew around him. the tramp had been on the car. too scared to climb off. and when found he was so badly frightened hp could scarcely speak. The first direct story of the hold up was brought to the city today when members of the train crew arrived. I. C. Brown, railway mall clerk, who was on the train at the time of the robbery, states that the mall car was not tampered with as reported. "Myself and assistant. C S. Gallagher, of Cle Blum, did not know of the robbery until It was nearly over," said he. 'Onc shot was fired through the door of the car," ho continued, "but wc did not find the hole until later and did not know that anything was wrong until we heard ex plosions In the baggage car." Tho engineer reports that two men climbed over the tender shortly after the train passed Roza. The engineer and fire man were covered with Winchesters and made to do tho bidding of the, robbers witn tne muzzles or the. rifles always dl rccted toward them. John Hessler and John Muller. the electrician and messen ger on the baggage car. were in tho dining-room at the time of the hold-up. LITTLE MONEY ON THE TRAIN Express Officials at St. Taul Do Not Know Loss as Yet. bT. PAUL. Dec. 1". Officials of the northern Pacific Express Company head quarters m this city are still without defl nlto details concerning the hold-up of the westbound North Coast Limited at Hill side, Wash., last night. They have re- reived reports that both the through and Jocal safes were dynamited and their con tents scattered and destroyed, but whether or not the bandits secured anv great amount of booty they do not know. Y S. Hay. superintendent of the North ern Express Company, is inclined to be lieve that not over $400 or 5300 was se cured. "This is the same train that has been held up once or twice previously." said Mr. Hay., "and our past experience induces the belief that little if any boots' lias been secured. The fact Is that we do not carry much on this run. most of our business being In checks. I am un able to give you even an approximate intimate of the value of the contents of the through safe, but am positive that there was little In It upon -which tho train robbers could realize. The contents of the local safe was not valuable." The Northern Pacific Railroad has a standing reward for the capture and con viction of hold-ups and the officials seem confident that arrests will follow. ROBBERS WERE AMATEURS. Passenger on Train. Tells Interesting Story of Hold-Up. Among those who were on the North ern Pacific train -which was held up near North Yakima. Wash.. Saturday night, was J. R.,Unson. a. Pullman con ductor of St. Paul, who Is now a guest at the Perkins Hotel. Mr. TJpson has been on the road rnany .years and has pae-sca tnrougn several similar occur rences. "The robbery -was carefully planned and executed -with precision and the only thing that prevented the men from making a big haul Is the fact that there" was not much of value In the safe." "said Mr.- Upson, at the Perkins Hotel yesterday afteraoon. "However. ani inclined to believe that It was the work of amateurs. They held up the train like veterans, but evidently they did not know much about high -ex plosives, it took seven shots to break open the door or the car and the sales, whereas an experienced train robber could have accomplished this -with two or three shots. Otherwise, from a train robber's standpoint their work was above criticism, and they handled the engineer and the firemen as K they had been there before. "From one of the brsemen I learned that the robbers got on the train at North Yakima. They climbed up on one of the coaches just as the train was pulling out of the station. As the. trainmen were busy and the train was running at a high rate of speed, no at tention was paid to them, as they -were thought to be hobos. 'When we arrn-ed in the Yakima Canyon, -with the river on one aide and the high bluff on the other, the train slowed up and came to a. stop. The robbers climbed over the coaches and the tender, where they covered the en gineer. The brakeman at the head of the train jumped off to ascertain what was the matter, as such a stop was ;un usual: He almost ran Into one of the robbers, who thrust two big revolvers in his face and in an abrupt and de cisive tone of voice ordered him back. Needless to say he clambered back on the train with as much alacrity as he tumbled off. "1 was eating dinner in the dining- car with John Herschlcr, the express man, of Portland, when tho train cane to a stop. Within a few seconds a shot was fired, followed by several other reports in rapid succession. We neither arose from our scats as "we knew why the train had stopped be tween stations. Then, besides, we did not care to investigate after the shots were fired. " They will make a poor haul. I don't think there is more than 5300 in the safe,' Such was the expression of Herschler when the reports told him that the robbers had held up the train. The highwaymen did not aim at anybody but shot along the coaches to prevent persons from investigating. This warning was sufficient to all con cerned. 'The train was then uncoupled and the engine took the express-car up the track about a quarter of a mile. The uncoupling of the train broke electric connections and the lights went out Then I knew that the passengers would be safe, as the robbers, no matter how daring they might be. would not enter the dark coaches. We did not light up again until the engine returned with the dismantled express-car about an hour and a half later. "At first the passengers were a little excited, but they soon cooled down as there was really no dange. Some of the women were a little excited, but the men quieted their fright. Of course. as soon as the train stopped a brake- man had been sent back to flag other trains. There was almost as much excitement over this as the hold-up. One of the robers remained behind to guard the train and the other oc cupied the engine and blew open the express-car. The running-gear of the express-car was Intact, but the rest of the car was badly dismantled. Hardly enough of the sides were left to sup port the roof. The force of the ex plosions was so great as to tear the safes to pieces. "North Yakima knew- of the robbery by the time we got to Ellensburg, and I presume posses started from both places. I also understand that a num ber of detectives were sent down from Seattle) Inasmuch as the robbers did not have much time to get away, I believe they will bo caught." The-Information was elicited yester day that the wrecked express-car was .taken to Seattle. Mr. Herschler will not return to Portland until today. Most of the passengers got oft at Seat tle, and only a few of them stayed with the train until it reached Portland at about 10:30 o'clock yesterday morn ing. The train, crews changed at El lensburg. which is a division point. It was learned yesterdaj that the two highwaymen who held up the North Coast Limited Saturday night succeeded in getting only U0 from the express car. The safes had less money In them than on any previous trip, but if the train robbers had waited until the next train it Is said they would have made a considerably larger haul. Such a good line has been obtained on the two men by Northern Pacific and other detectives that hopes arc entertained that both will be captured. It is the general opinion In police cir cles that the work was not that of experienced men. The work was not accomplished with rapidity and the stylo of the Job was, In many particulars, bungllrg.

SpeclaU-Jobn King, one of the most notorious crooks that "has ever operated in the Northwest, was taken to the State Penitentiary this afternoon to begin -serving a life sentence. King was convicted of burglarizing Fred Larne's Jewelry thore on Pike street dur ing the noon hour -while the proprietor was away. The County Attorney proved he had been convicted at least twice pre viously of felonies and King was the first habitual criminal in this state to receive a life sentence under the habitual criminal act or 1KB the act which War den F. A. Kccs. of the State Penitentiary framed and had passed while a member of the lower house. King was the leader of a hand of crooks suspected of abducting 3-year-old Prewitt Baker at Eagle Harbor a year and half ago. He led the police to believe he was guilty of that kidnaping and for weeks he was held In the city Jail while he conducted negotiations with confed erates that he promised would lead to the return of .the Seattle hardware man's boy. So confident did-the police feel that King could return the lad that it was once figured his recovery was a matter of days. King was the man arrested in Vancou ver by two detectives a year ago Christ mas, who, while standing under guard outside a saloon, dropped a. revolver down his sleeve and began shooting at the offi cer?. In the confusion he escaped. Then King began a "cross-country" run from the provincial police that is memorable in British Columbia. He held up farm houses in his flight, robbing right and left and escaping with perfect ease. Had the Seattle police failed in their attempt to convict King of the Fred Lame burglary he would have been taken back to British Columbia to stand trial for his robberies there. So confident wax King that he would escape conviction here that he had organized, from his cell in the county jail, a band of confederates who would rescue him from the officers on the train. Had King been started back toward British Columbia by train, the officers would have been intercepted and a delivery attempted that officers be lieve might have succeeded. It was because or this fear of delivery that King was not added to the party of criminals taken to 'Walla Walla late in October. With that party went John Hlldebrand. the man who attempted to kill Jailer Wise and secure his keys, and Jack Chesterfield, the man who exploded dynamite in hUs cell at the county Jail. The trio were regarded as too desperate to associate together. The county officers reared to let an Inkling of King's depar ture to get out today In advance of his starting, lest a delivery be attempted. King has been a model prisoner in the county Jail. o far as deportment toward jail officials Is concerned. But It la known positively that he planned at least two aaring burglaries while in the Jail ana seni outside instruction to his con federates telling thcra exactly how the crime should he committed.' It is believed by the officers that King ii 'behaving as a model prisoner to takea.zood r-rmrri with him to Walla Walla and further a cnance ror ultimate escape. A burglary at Belllngham and the bur glary of a Seattle clothing store com muted years ago when he and a eanM orate stole a Jar of money on exhibition in a enow window were the nrevlous M onles proved against King which got him niK me jmtenco under the habitual erim mai act But the police could Just as well have proved a dozen burglaries, hold-ups and daring crimes. They could have showed that he had been surprised last year at the head of a gang of crimi nals living In a shack In a clump of trees north of Seattle. They could have shown ho was wanted in "Po-tlar.d and wanted by federal authorities. King was the most badly-wanted man in the Northwest when he waj. sent up for life. His appeal was dinissed when he at'.empted to fight his case In the Supreme Court. wnW train for OMkatta. where k. Is reported that they weat through several lodgteg-houses and made another good haul. The thieves worked oaly la lodging houses, so far as is known at present. A gold watch aad 45 were taxes from a lodging-house' In the North End, knows as the "Brick": 0 and a watch were taken from the Harbor Hotel; $13 and a sold watch -were takes from the home of Perry Hubbard, from Ralph Round tree, a hoarder. The men were discovered while they were working in the Clearmont lodging house by the proprietor. N. Hansen, and' when -asked what they wanted, replied that they were looking for rooms. They made good their escape while Mr. Hansen was dressing to attend to their wants. This was about - o'clock In the morning. Men working with the same method were reported as being In Ch eh alls, so it is thought by the Centralia of fleers that they must have taken the 2:10 A. M. train for Chehalis and there completed the night's work. The work was evidently tliat of profes sionals, as they entered tne rooms of sleeping people.- took the garments and searched them for valuables In the halls. The fact that nobody was disturbed but Mr. Hansen Indicates that tne men Knew their business. Sheriff Urquhart came over from Chehalis and has secured a good descripqon of the men. and he ex pects to apprehend them in short order. CONSPIRACY TO MURDER GREAT FALLS BOl' CONFESSES, IMPLICATING OTHERS. Bratal Msrdcr of Aged Pawnbroker ICads to the Disclosure of Otlier Crimes. GREAT FALLS. MonL. Dec 17. A special to the Tribune from Lcwiston says James Sherman, aged 19 years, man ager of the Argus Publishing Company's stationery department, who was recently arrested on sufplciqn of brutally murder ing Sam Studxinskl. an old pawnbroker. August 23, for the purpose of robbery, has confessed, implicating Dr. E. A. Long, a dentist; Walter Gooch. ex-nlsht Mar shal of the town, and Russell Hortop and David Atchison, young men of the town. in the murder as well as in a postofilce burglary and many other recent bur glaries in the town. More of the Jewelry stolen from the Studzlnski place was re covered today from a place where it had been cached by Shearman. Roy E. Ayers, County Attorney, who has been active In solving the murder mystery, today made public the fact that an attempt was made December 1 to poison himself and wife, it being his theory that It was thought the attempt would put him out of the case by killing or frightening. Mr. and Mrs. Ayers were away from home until 2 A. M. and when they returned found the house had been catered. When Mrs. Ayers took a drink from a bucket of water, she noticed a peculiar taste and an analysis by a chemist revealed the presence of a large quantity of strychnine In the water. All whom Sherman has Implicated in the crime to which he has confessed are under arrest. Every one of the suspects denies abso lutely that' there Is any truth in the jstory told by Sherman. Dr. Long points out the fact that he wax not in town at the time of the postofflce robbery, and this statement Is confirmed by the officers, Sherman -has told contradictory storie In regard to tome of the detail connecting these persons with the crime, and some doubt Is expressed by the officers. Catch That Swindler Reward: $25 for arrest and conviction. The man who offers you a silver set, dishes, pictures or any hind of a premium with a year's subscription to The Ladies5 Home Journal , is a swindler. Don't you know that The Ladies' Home " Journal never gives a premium to a sub scriber, and that it has spent thousands of dollars for twenty years past in advertising the fact that any one offering a premium of any sort with The Journal may be regarded as a swindler? And yet it goes on year after year, and we keep jailing them. Why are women so easily fooled with a bargain offer? Isn't it absurd on the face of it to offer The Journal for a year and a set of dishes, or some other, preposterous gift, all for a dollar and a quarter, the regular subscription price?

(5pedaL)-In the belief that the Umber and stone act will he repealed at the present or the coming session of Congress, large lists of timber entries are being filed along the Middle Fork and John Day .Rivera. The advent, of the railroad into the county has some thing to do with this activity In the tim ber business, and most of the land being taken is along one of the supposed routes of the Supmtcr Valley extension. The general belief has been that the road would pass over the divide of Dixie Moun tain and come down Into the Prairie City neighborhood. Later developments seem to show, however, that the extension nexf season may drop down the river from here toward Susanville. pick up the min ing business from that Important camp and cross through the lower passes be yond Dixie Butte. In this way more min ing business would be touched, better bodies of timber passed through, and a nearer and straighter course into the center of the John Day Valley followed. Manager Joseph Barton steadily refuses to give out any advance Information to the public but some of the locators on the latter route stand pretty close to the Inside of Sumpter Valley circles, and their eagerness to get hold of timber lands along Camp Creek are regarded as significant.
