The robbery was of a nature almost unprecedented In Oregon.

Patrol man Sherwood had Just passed on his ragular rounds and could not be ex pected back that way for some time. The president and cannier were busy i putting back In the vm.it h ......... irpj aum or money that was ex powed on the counters and did not see a man enter the door until there came the crisp command, "Hold up your HewhaU's Story.
