The arrest of Carney, In the first In
stance, grew out of a series of letters
and telegrams that tie sent to Miss Lot
tie Buckley of Curley, Idaho, urging
her to come to Vancouver, where po
sition could be aecured.. In all -this
correspondence he signed the name of
"May Boley," it U said, and the girl's
mother asked that the offlolals of Van.
couver determine who "May Boley" was.
Th Investigation showed that It was
Carney vwho had authored the letters
and telegrams, and a technical eharge
of vagrancy was placed against the man,
but finally dismissed; ' - '
The' money ; found In possession of
Carney wa ordered held by- a 'bank at
Vancouver, by Inspector Barbur, in pite
of the hot fight made by W. C Bates,
an attorney, engaged, by Carney, to pre
vent this.. . -
During the Investigation Barbur found
on the necktie om by the man, the
name of a San Diego haberdasher. This,
Barbur declares, proves to him, that the
assertions made by Carney that he Is
but five weeks in this country; are
false ana? that he is the man wanted, in
San Diego for the embezzlement there,
Carney, who refuses to- admit that he la
Miller, la said to have agreed to return
to California, without fighting extradi
tion. .'...'
Bums and Plnkerton detectives, it la
said, are searching between Vancouver
and Tacolt for another trunk belonging
to the roan, la which, it is believed,
more securities WlU be found.
It ia reported there that Governor
Johnson of California has iHsued extra
dition papers for the return" of Carney
to Ban Diego and that two officers ars
now on their way here to get him.
Chief of Police Bocrlat of Vancouver
and. Officer Jack Smith, who made the
arrest, are being heartily congratulated
by the federal offlolals for the capture.

We wish to emphasize this statement for the purpose of showing a REASON for the enormous reductions
we have made or? ALL GOODS IN STOCK. The prices we arc now making are in almost every instance
less than we would have to pay to replenish our stock. Then why would we make these prices if we were
going to continue in business? However, the public is not so much interested in whether or not we are :
going to continue in business as they arc in knowing what they will have to pay for the goods.
