POSSES BY SCORE ' HUNT FOR ROBBERS Murderers of Great Northern Passengers May Have Made Escape in Launch.- MAN HUNT IS IN MUDDLE Searchers Seeking- $80,000 Reward Stop Bach Other and Some Make . Arrests, Wlillo Clews by Dozen Are Reported. BELLINGHAW, Wuh, Feb. 21 Diligent work of armed posses follow ing; up clews and an all-day patrol of the country around the scene of the Great Northern passenger train rob bery last night 10 miles south of here. In which three passengers were killed, left the officers tonight without even a promise of striking the trail of the two men. Railroad detectives were on the scene, and as the result of a con ference with the Sheriff, a systematic xnan-hunt will be Inaugurated. Perhaps leading all other clews is ' one in which a gasoline launch was , seen to put in at Chuckanut bay, two miles n6rth of the scene of the rob bery. The officers have information that this launch slipped into the land ing place a short time before the train was dua to arrive at that point, and it was heard to leave a few minutes after the train passed. If this Is true, it is likely that the two robbers escaped to one of the many islands of the Ban Juan group, where it is next to Impos sible to conduct a successful search. It was on one of these Islands that a bank robber successfully outwitted of ficers of this county and of Vancouver Island, eventually escaping. . Reward Is $30,000. The reward offered by the Great Northern was Increased today from $16,000 to (80,000, and this has tempted many private citizens to Join with the officers in the hunt. Several suspects were picked up, but none answers the (description of the two robbers. Arrangements were made by rela tives of the three passengers who were killed by the robbers to take their bodies home. Special officers and policemen picked up every person who could not give a good account of himself, and, as a re sult, rumors of arrests and clews were mo numerous that to trace all would take a small army of sleuths. Two men were arrested at Mukilteo and taken to Everett, but the officers here had nothing definite as to their descrip tions. A terrlf lo rain storm set in about 7 o'clock which sent most of the scouting posse in to cover. Searchers Search Each Other. That members of the- posses did not shoot each other this afternoon was held remarkable by the Sheriff, as scores of men were hidden In every nook and corner of the woods near Eamlsh Station, and to show one's self was the signal for an order of "Hands up I" and to submit to a search. Three men who went into a hard ware store here to purchase revolvers and ammunition were taken up by the police. The men explained that they were buying arms and shells to Join the posses. Officers in charge of the posses are frank to admit that there is slight chance of running onto the robbers. Two suspects were arrested at Alger and two others at Sedro Woolley. By checking the number of tickets and passengers. Great Northern de tectives today reached the definite eonoluslon that only two bandits took "part in the holdup. They believe that "booth took part in the shooting of the three passengers. rrWO PHONES ARE IN FIELD .Double System In La Grande, Killed Once, la Kevtred, i !LA GRANDE, Or, Feb. 81. (Special.)

Before the mouse could make It? way out of that pen and before Rob bins could get within striking dis tance, the hen securely planted both feet on the back of tha rodent, and with her bill was picking her captive with all her might.
