turning down towards Hawthorne
Slough one of them fired several shots,
probably la the air as a warning-.
Executed Without Hitch.
The robbery was executed as well as
planned and there was not a hitch. They
must have known that the bank keeps
open until C o'clock, as a matter of ac
commodation. Althoupft they were not
seen so far as Is known by the authori
ties, until they actually entered the bank,
tliey must have been watching their
chance. It came at Just 5:43 o'clock,
when Mr. Coulson. the bookkeeper., went
out and Patrolman Sherwood passed the
bank on his regular rounds, going south
ward. The street at this psychological
moment was clear of people, although
adjacent streets were yet well "peopled.
Jn three minutes from the time they went
into the bank they had vanished, as 1n
thin air. with the money.
There are many theories as to where
they went. As already recounted they
ran east on East Washington stret, on
tlte south side of the street and were
here fired upon by the president and
cashier. Toung Mr. Xewhall followed
them and saw them turn south on East
Sixth street. Five yards below this
corner, where there Is no street light.
tliev turned Into the street, as shown Dy
their footprints. They ran southeast
across the street, rounded the south end
of the "Woodmen of the World Hall, cut
across a vacant lot to East Alder street,
ag-.ln out into the street at a southeast
erly angle and crossed Into another
vacant lot.
IJobbers Trail "Lost.
lit re the trail was lost and there are
several theories as to what Iwcame of
the trio thereafter. It was believed pos
sible that they separated. They may
have had a rendezvous in one of the
old wooden houses, of which there are
several score thereabouts. Or. as most
of the detectives agreed, they might have
bad a rig In waiting thereabout. Their
movements are untraced from that point.
Many reports of three hurrying men
having been seen In the neighborhood
were heard but the spectacle of three
men together Is nothlne uncommon. Sev
eral detectives worked on the theory that
the three doubled back down the Southern
Pacific track and caught a freight train
out over the Northern Pacific or O. R. &
I It Is hardly believed by most of the
workers that thy separated, for it Is
not likely that any of them would want
to trust so much money t6 the others.
Details of llold-tp.
The details of the actual holdup are:
President Newhall and his son Koger
were on the point of putting the money
in the vaults for the night. They had
gone over the books and completed the
day's balance Bheet. The door was not
to be closed until 6 o'clock.
Roth men were busy with minor de
tails when the door swung. As Mr.
Coulson bnd stepped out a moment be
fore and was expected back, no atten
tion was paid to this fact. But in an
instant they were brought with a start
to a realization of the nature of the
visitation.
"Hold up your bands:" was the terse
Vrder they heard and they found them
selves looking into the muzzle of an
automatic revolver, the most effective
and dangerous of weapons, even if not
the most fearful In appearance.
"This Is a hold-tip come, get up
your hands," the intruder commanded,
as the two men showed a hesitation in
complying. They saw that the man
was in deadly earnest and their hands
went up.
"Now get Into that room there and be
quick about It." was the next order, the
highwayman indicating Mr. Newhall'a
office with a sweep of his weapon.
He kept swerving the gun from one
man's head to the other and neither had
any further hesitation about following
out his instructions. For they could
not help hut note that the man's voice
was cool and steady and his hand did
not shake as he held the revolver on
them.
"And there was ro mistaking the
determination of that face." President
Newhall said afterward. "It was a
rlminal's face and criminal determina
tion, but I could see he was not a man
to be trifled with."
"Now, you fellows stay in there."
pursued the visitors, delivering this
admonition, as ho did h orders, in a
quick voice, as if anxious to make the
most of every second.
Koblers ork Quickly.
No sooner were they In Mr. Newhall's
office, the upper part of their bodies
showing through a glass partition, than
the man knocked upon the metal wick
er and with a quick, easy motion,
leaped inside. Then the other two
dodged inside. They could not be seen
from the rresidont's office, which is
separated from the bank corridor by a
glazed-glass partition, reaching to the
ceiling.
"Come, hurry up there, you fellows."
the man inside Instructed his confed-'
rates as he lifted a tray of gold.
The smaller and younger of the three
men, a blond person with a scant mus
tasche, began fumbling nervously with
a canvas money-bag. This Individual
was plainly very ill at ease, but he
linally managed to get the 'sack into
place.
With a Jingling crash, $300 In silver
coins went Into this sack, followed an
Instant later by a second and smaller
crash occasioned by the emptying of
a tray of nickels, dimes and quarters.
"Hurry up, there; hurry up!" ex
claimed the third robber, who was ,
standing outside, gun in hand and doing
nothing.
The man Inside did not reply. He
was not only entirely calm, to outward
a ppearance, but he seemed to . realize
that the surest way to make speed was
to be deliberate about it.
Fishing under the counter. Just above
where a sawed-off Blrotgun lay loaded
and ready for use, he got a stack of
money rolled in paper and dumped it
into a second sack which had been sup
plied by the official sack-holder of the
party. This was an. ordinary gunny
sack and what the Inside worker
poured Into it was $000 In gold coins
of the denominations of $20. in and
$:, pieces. This money was wrapped
and doubtless the robber did not know ,

One man, apparently the leader of the trio who held up the bank, climbed
through the teller's wicket, after having driven the president and cashier
into the private room at the point of a revolver, and scooped the money into
two sacks. These sacks were held by a second 'man standing outside the
wicket, while the third lounged about with a ready wreapon In his hand. The
three were not masked.

how valuable this tray was "when he
emptied it.
He then took a roll of currency. In
it there were two iMO bills. 19 $100
bills, seven to nine $50 bills and 20
new bills of $10 and $5 denomination.
This roll aggregated $5300 or thereabouts.
Takes Money With Both Hands.
All this occupied far less time than
the telling of It. The man Inside was
taking money with both hands, laying
his revolver in front of him. So Intent
was he on the acquisition of money
that he paid little attention to the bank
officials a few feet away and had they
been armed it is possible they could
have shot him, for the men out In the
corridor were only in occasional view.
Several times he glanced briefly in
their direction to assure himself that
they were acting in a decorus manner.
With a reluctant glance at the vault,
the leader hesitated an instant, eyed a
small tray of silver greedily, and then
deciding that the risk was too great
to remain longer or try to carry more
money away, he picked up his revolver
and quickly climbed back through the
wicker.
"Come, get out of this quick," he said
to his confederate, who did riot need the
order, as they were already at the door,
each carrying a bag of money.
With a parting flourish of his weapon
and a glance back at the two victims,
the man joined the other two. Nothing
further passed between them. They
ran without hesitation around the corner
and proceeded eastward at their best
speed, the sack-bearers tottering notice
ably under the weight they were carry
ing. As they rounded the corner the alarm
was sounded from several quarters. Mr.
Coulson, having seen the climax of the
holdup, went shouting after Patrolman
Sherwood. The Imprisoned president and
cashier acted quickly when the danger
of being shot down in their tracks was
gone. The elder Newhall seized a re
volver and ran out of the front door,
while bis son took another revolver and
left by the rear way. Both fired up the
street, but It was fully dark at this
time and, coming from the bright light
Inside, they wre unable to see plainly
at nrst.
, Mr. Newhall returned back Into the
bank but Roger went out pluckily up
Eart Washington street hoping for a
shot at the trio. He fired a shot at
them on Washington street and ran to
where they turned down East Sixth
street Just In time to see them" round
the south steps of the Woodmen hall.
Again he opened fire and his aim was
not good and in an Instant the flleeing
human target was gone.
Fearing that one of the men might
He la wait for him In the dark lot
south of the hall, Mr. Newhall then re
turned to the bank. He painfully hurt
his right leg in a fall to the pavement
while following the men up East
Washington street and later was at
tended bv a physician.
Just after dlsapr earing around the
"Woodmen hall -the fugitives fired ev
eral shots, evidently as a warning.
Nothing further was seen of them. A
voiine- man on a bicycle, whose name
was not learned by the authorities last
night, saw the three men turn across
Kast Alder street and ohservea ttiem
fire. It was at first reported that they
had fired on him but .he denied this.
He had left the. vicinity before the de
tectives began arriving on tlihe scene.
President Newhall at once notinea
the Pinkerton detective agency and the
police station. Captain of Police Moore
immediately sent out the patrol wagon
and every available detective of the de
partment. Before the station detail
reached the bank several patrolmen on
East Side beats were hunting about the
district in which the fugitives had last
been seen. Half a dozen patrolmen
were set to work doing this while the
detectives set about getting detailed
descriptions of the three men. In these
descriptions the detectives, half a hun
dred In all. including those from pri
vate agencies, set to work, combing the
East Side district for a tangible clew.
Itobbers N'ot Portland Men.
It is not local criminals that the offi
cers have to-deal with. This was gen
erally agreed upon last night, for no
one of them wore a mask. The leader,
as he entered the bank, had his left
hand over his, face, but ho shortly with
drew it and his features were in plain
view to the president end cashier dur
ing the brief moments the bank was
being pilfered.
Working on the theory that the robbers
had a rig in waiting near where they
were last seen, the police sent men to
every livery stable in the city. It was
found that two men rented a rig at the
Fashion stables late In the afternoon and
that neither of them was of prepossess
ing appearance. Detectives were then
nut to work on this branch of the case..
All night long and through the early
bours or tbls morning me man mint
has been going on. Every officer detailed
on the' case had instructions to forget
about the need of sleep so long as there
was a chance of picking up a live trail.

FORMER HOLD-UP IS RIVALLED
Rev. J. C. Reed, Insane, Attempted
Robbery 14 Years Ago.
The daring holdup of the East Side
Bank last night recalls the attempt
made by Rev. J. C. Reed to hold up
the National Bank, of Last Portland
about 14 years ago. Reed, who was
afterwards adjudged Insane, walked
Into the bank one afternoon, and, hold
ing a bottle In the air, which he de
clared contained nitroglycerin an
nounced that he would blow the plaoe
to pieces unless Cashier B. H. Bow
man would deliver over the contents
of the vaults.
Reed's actions were noticed by per
sons in the Citizens' Bank, located Just
acfoss the street. and E. C. South
worth took a shotgun and ran to tho
rescue. He succeeded In getting the
"drop" on Reed and forced him to sur
render. Instead of containing nitro
glycerin the bottle "held by Keed was
filled with water. He was placed un
der arrest by A. N. Fox, then a captain
of police and later stood trial. He
pleaded Insanity and was sent to the
asylum at Salem. He was released
after three years as cured and was
later mixed up in a coin sweating gang
at Oregon City. However, he fled the
state before he was convicted of this
offense and his whereabouts Is not now
known.
According to Henry G. Griffin, for
merly a member of the City Detective
Bureau last night's robbery Is .the first
time on record, aside from the Reed
episode, when a Portland bank has
been held up with guns. Several bank
robberies .have taken place, but with
the exception of the blowing up and
robbing of the safe in the Oregon Sav
ings Bank, then located In the Mar-
quam building, the bank burglarizing
attempts have netted the robbers but
little. The safe cracksmen who robbed
the Oregon Savings Bank secured
about $8000 for .heir trouble.

GRANGE VILLE, Idaho, Dec. 3. (To
the Editor.) There was a time in the
dim and misty past of 15 or 20 years
ago when the Grangevllle country of
central Idaho was an lmportanc com
mercial asset of Portland. In those
days the wealth of this heart of Idaho
sought Its outlet to the Webfoot me
tropolis by a wagon road haul of SO
miles to Lewlston, and thence down
che Snake and Columbia rivers by
steamboat. This Is the natural, God
given route for this interior country;
and If the old-time management of the
Oregon Railway & Navigation Company
had. In the slang of the day, been "onto
its Job," and had extended its system
Into the Snake and Clearwater regions,
Portland would have retained Its su
premacy over the commerce of this
great and growing region.
But monopoly Invariably breeds ar
rogant Indifference, and the old-time
transportation magnates felt so set.ure
in their hold of this region that they
let slip numberless opportunities of
substituting railroads for steamboat
transportation untH aroused by the ag
gressive policy of the rival Northern
Pacific system which quietly invaded
the Clearwater territory through its
Spokane and Palnuse branch and. In
1899, constructed lt3 Clearwater Short
Line almost into the heart of the Bitter
Root country.
Down nill All the Way.
The entire traffic of this region was
therefore artificially directed from its
natural water grade channels to Port
land, and made to ascend and descend
a series of fierce grades to a connection
with the main line of the Northern
Pacific at Spokane. Now Spokane is
no nearer tidewater than Grangevllle
In fact, the advantages for reaching
tidewater are immeasurably superior
from Grangevllle than from Spokane,
as we have down hill water grades all
the way to Portland, and che recent
completion of the Tjnlon Facinc roaa
from Riparla to Lewiston now affords
us the direct connections of which we
have been for so many years unjustly
deprived. Nature Is bound to assert
herself In due time, and thus, after
many, years this region again finds
Itself in possession of a natural out
let, and witn aue cultivation uy mo
business men of Portland the entire
trade of this great and growing Clear
water country will again find its way
to Portland.
Opportunity to Gain Lost Trade.
These reflections are Induced by the
completion of the Lewiston-GrangevITle
railroad and the Inauguration or regu
lar schedules to Grangevllle and the
Grangevllle country. Since the comple
tion of the Clearwater Short Line rail
road to Stites, 20 miles distant, the
Grangevllle country has been practic
ally as Inaccessible as in the old days
when it could only be reached by an
80-mile wagon road haul from Lewis-
con. A new generation of business men
has taken hold of the commercial In
terests . of Portland since then; but
there are doubtless enough of the older
ones left to remember something of the.
lucrative traffic which this isolated
countrv used to turn Into their coffers.
The old generation made a hard fight
In co-operation with the present union
Pacific management to secure the en
trance of" the Harriman interests Into
this then almost unknown region in
order to tie it to Portland in the closer
relations of railroad transportation..
The outgrowth of that great fight for
railroad supremacy and occupation of
this, Clearwater region was the forma
tion of the Northern Securities concern,
providing for joint occupation of the
Grangevllle country. While Harriman
was tentatively defeated In his. effort
to give us independent railroad con
struction, yet he was powerful enough
to enforce the construction of the newly-;
completed line, which is a competitor
of the existing Northern Pacific Clear
water Short Line road, which does not
reach any part of the productive coun
try, and now that the entire Joint sys
tem from Lewiston to Riparla Is com
plete, the opportunity is presented for
Portland to regain its lost supremacy
of a large and rapidly-growing traffic
in the largest, richest and most1 pro
ductive agricultural section in tho en
tire Northwest.
The growth and productivity of this
Clearwater area has been enormously
stimulated since the opening to white
settlement,- November 18, 1S95, of the
great Nez Pence Indian reservation of
nearly 1,000,000 acres; the present rail
road construction into the Grangevllle
country is a logical phase of that de
velopment. For some , years to come,
or until the developments in the adja
cent and tributary mining camps jus
tify further extensions, the railroad
terminus of the new road will remain
at Grangeville. A short extension
southwards to connect with the Pacific
& Idaho Northern at Little Salmon
Meadows Is a reasonable expectation of
the immediate future. This extension
will open up a great and very produc
tive country on both sides of the main
Salmon and Little rivers, besides af
fording a direct connection between
Northern and Southern Idaho.
For many years Grangeville has held
the distinction of being the largest
town in - the United States without a
railroad. We now cheerfully yield this
distinction to others. But Grangevllle
Is still located in the very heart of
Idaho, surrounded by the largest and
most productive agricultural area in
the Northwest, where crops have been
successfully raised without Irrigation,
and with never a crop failure for 40
years. The present population of the
town is about 3000. It possesses three
banks, with deposits aggregating $750,
000; three newspapers, six churches,
each with its resident pastor and Sun
day school; a throe-story brick hotel
being built by local capital and nearing
completion; a gravity water system;
electric light and power; a city govern
ment with macadamized Main street;
a fine graded public school system;
many miles of sidewalks and all the
concomitants of civilization. Only nine
other postoffices in the state do a larg
er postal business and contribute more
revenue to the postoffflce department
than Grangeville, which is an excellent
criterion of the business done in a town
20 miles from its nearest railroad and
with no state or National offices to
swell its postal receipts. Taken in con
nection with the bank deposits re
ferred to above, these features indicate
an immense volume of legitimate busi
ness transacted here. The town does a
large and growing Jobbing business
with the surrounding mining camps,
stock growers, and remote settlements,
and by reason of its strategic location
is a sure forerunner that Grangeville is
going to make one of the important
towns of the young and growing State
of Idaho. A. F. PARKER.
