Walks Out.
COLFAX., Wash., July 5. The boldest

o'clock this morning, when a lone robber
held up 12 men In the Richelieu saloon and
gambling-house, secured 51500 and escaped
under the glare of electric lights -with a
policeman standing half a block away.
The robber entered the saloon at 2

and two customers were at the bar. The

of large caliber, and ordered their hands

cine men were sitting. All were
forced to stand with hand3 up
, and faces against- tho rear wall.
Henry Spark and George Gerlitz looked
around, and were struck on the head with
a revolver, both receiving severe scalp
wounds. Ths robber said the nest man to
look around would be shot dead. Going
to the roulette table, he raked off the
money In a. eack, and treated all the gam
blinc tables In thesame -ft ay.
The robber then compelled Schultz to
go with him to the front of the saloon ana
open the safe, first tolling the others he
had 'two pals, and the flrst man to move
would be shot. He rifled the safe, cash
register and drawer behind the bar, work
ing quietly and coolly. Ke took Schultz
revolver from behind the bar, saying:
"This is a fine gun; I need it in my busi
ness." After mating Schultz march to
the rear of the saloon and line up with
the others, he commanded all to remain
quiet 15 minutes, and backed out the
front door and walked rapidly down the.

ABERDEEN. Wash.. July 5. The dwelling-houses
of C. W. McBrlde, Robert
Shannon. J. Long and an adjoining empty
house, in South Aberdeen, were totally
destroyed by Arc about midnight last
night, and all the Inmates, nine In num
ber, narrowly Escaped being burned to
death. The origin of the fire is unknown,
but is supposed to have been caused by
firecrackers falling among the loose saw
dust atound the buildings. The flrst in
timation the residents of the burning
buildings had of the fire was the awaken
ing of Mr. Long by her little girl, who
noticed the blaze and cried to her mother
to get up and see it. The fire had gained
such headway that it was with the utmost
difficulty the reel of the inmates in Long's
and the other houses were awakened and
rescued. The contents of the buildings
were all consumed. '
