Astoria's Greatest Clothiers Open Evenings Until Xraas ROBBERS BOLDLY HOLD UP A SALOON GET $65 FROM CASH REGISTER OF HORSE SHOE PLACE YESTERDAY MORNING, A few minute minutes after mid night yesterday morning two masked robbers entered the Horse Shoe sa loon on Astor street at Sixth and witn levelled revolver held up the place and the eleven men present. While one of the robber attended to the men in the saloon the other waved the barkeeper from behind the bar and over among the little crowd that stood in the back room with hands in the air. This robber then stepped behind the bar and swept the contents of the cash register into his pockets, securing about $65. . Ko at tempt was made to rob the men. The whole episode occupied but a few moments. The men plainly meant business and no one stirred. With an admonition to "Keep still for five minutes," the two men stepped swift ly outside and in a moment were gone. Thus far there has been no trace of them. They worked with precision and skill. Police Officer Linville, who usually know just what is going on in that end of the city, bad only a few mo ments before gone to get his supper at a nearby, restaurant, as it was his supper hour. Perhaps the robbers knew this. Had they also 'stood up" the men in the saloon they would have gotten quite a bit more, but they evi dently judged this too risky a job or else one that would have taken too long. While the police were very ac tive yesterday there is nothing to in dicate with any accuracy the identity of the men and they may be far away by this time. . ' The Horse Shoe saloon is owned by Harry & Rosendale. One of the men is said to have been tall, the other of medium height. "FERNDALE" is the quality in Butter. Ask your Grocer. , Station Moved The Seaside Signal says: "The sta tion house building at Cleveland has been moved to Necanicum, and here after the trains will not stop at Cleve land, if the present plans of the rail road company are adhered to. There is likely, however, to be serious ob jection from aome of the property owners at Cleveland who paid for the building when it was erected, the un derstanding being thai in the event of the station building being paid for by the property owners, all trains should stop at that point The right of the present owners of the railroad to ab rogate an agreement entered into by the former will probably be settled in the courts. . Saloon Thief Caught As a result of investigation made upon a "tip" that he had received, Police Officer Wilson yesterday ar rested Henry Cappelo, a longshore man, on a charge of having robbed the till in the Anchor saloon one night last week. At the police sta tion Capello was sweated by Acting Chief Oberg and finally confessed to he robbery. Cappelo has only been in the city four or five months. He stated that after he had robbed the till he stopped and made up a glass of beef tea in the saloon, and after taking one or more additional drinks of liquor, leisurely made his escape. Cappello's tongue proved his undo ing, for apparently he got boasting how. easy it is to make a living in Astoria. , Last summer he fished for the Columbia Packers' Association, He pleaded guily before Justice Good man last evening and was bound over.

Adair Drain On Sunday evening a force of men that Superintendent of Streets Kear new has had at work on a break in the Adair drain completed the repairs, aftre working about a week. There had been a bad cave-in. In one place the men had to cut through a lot of tilled ground for a distance of about 75 feet, and 12 feet deep. During the last rains one block was pretty badly flooded because of this cave-in, but now things are in good shape, until more trouble arises with the vexatious Adair drain. Bills Cleaned Up At the meeting. of the council last night all of the bills up to the first pf January that were procurable were presented and acted upon. This leaves the city's routine finances cleaned up nicely.
