ASSOCIATE!) rilESS 1913 EVENING EDITION People There Think Local Talent Involved Think Miller Story a Hoax C. C. Carter, a well known Myr tie Point business man, was In Marshflcld yesterday and today on business. Ho states that Myrtle Point Is flourishing, having had one of the most successful years in her history. Many new homes have been erected and some fine business buildings and Improvements mnde. He says that tho Myrtle Point bank robbery Is still the principal imin . "uutij io Ollll M1U liriUUipil topic of conversation there. Some :hov or other, tho Impression prevails that local talent pulled off the rob bory. Tho current belief there is thnt some one who was familiar with the construction of the bank building nnd vault wag In on the deal. R. 0. Sumnierlln, who was with Mr. Carter, Is dubious nB to when the renl fncts will come to Illilit. Owing to the high standing In tho community of President Ucnson nnd Cniihler Rnckleff nnd tho stock holders or tho bank, the whole com munity Is giving them their sup port In overcoming the hnndlcap which tho loss Imposes upon them. Tho directors nt n recent meeting levied nn assessment on the stock- holders which will more than mnko tho loss. Think Miller .loke. Mr. Cartor says that tho gcnernl belief at Myrtle Point Is that Mil ler, tho cook who Is now In Jail at Couulllo suspected of tho crime, pulled off tho biggest hoax in tho enso that has been porpetrnted there In many u day. Scarcely any ono In Myrtle Point thinks that Miller had nnythlng to do with It, but by his nlleged ynrns of It was working ono man for Ills grub nnd another for tho drinks. Sheriff Gnge, before his departure) for Salem took this vlow of tho Mil ler affair. Hu said that Miller iad secured $14 In ensh from .lack El wood and lila son nt .Myrtle Point, In addition to meals nnd how much Miller got from W. G. Ilorreo of Mnrshflold, Mr. Gngo had not learn ed. Miller was bound over to tho grand jury nt the preliminary bear ing In Cnnulllo under a $15,000 bond. In consoquonco ho will be In jail for several months unless some thing comes up to further definitely establish thnt there is nothing to tho yarns ho Is alleged to have told about his being Implicated In the robbery. Another reason, Mr. Carter says, why Myrtle Point peoplo think thnt local tnlent may havo oven pulled off tho big robbory without outside nld is that tho Rums' Detcctlvo Agency, who was on the caso a fow days after tho robbery for tho Ore gon Rankers' Association, Informed somo of them tnnt tho uso of nitro glycerine did not require nn expert to hnndle It. Anyone who Is nt nil familiar with handling dynamite could hnndle It and oven If not familiar with handling It. could rend up and educate themselves to do the work. Recall Old Oilmen. Thero Is a suspicion that some members of nn old gang which ter rorized tho Coqulllo Vnlloy nnd this section a numbor of years ago niny havo ngaln started In tho old way nnd pulled tho Myrtlo Point bank denl Ono of tho members of this gang was named White nnd was killed a fow years ago after Borvlug tlmo, Whlto onco broke away from Sheriff Gago whllo being brought up tho river, Jumping off tho boat and swimming ashore.
