HE OF MEN UNDER!
ARREST ARE BELIEVED
) BE TRAIN ROBBERS
Suspects Arrested Last Nigh
' Apparently Not Implicated;
Detectives Close-Mouthed.
- Th.t ths men aratnst whom strong"
cat vldncs points as bolng implicated
In tus sensational holdup and robbery
of tha 8oo-Spokans Limuod in bum
van's, rulch Tuesday haTS not been ar
rested yet, was strongly intimated by
Special Agent wooa or me u-w. i.
N, today., He admitted that he suspects
no man now imprisoned In either the
. city or county jail.
Last nlsht Harry Coleman, an ex-
etnploye f the railway company, and
10 Furlong of 58 Delay street. wre
i UkM into custody by Sherirr wora m
connection with tho holdup. Coleman.
' .who had been drinking heavily, made
a statement at Troutdals to the offeot
that he knew one of the robbers.
. This statement followed a declaration
'by. him that he was ons of the com
' panys special agents, something which
is not borne out by facts.
Pressed to give the name of the al
leged desperado, Coleman refused to
talk on the subject until he was brought
' i Portland by the sheriff. He then
; said he was on the train, en route i.
Troutdale. and during the holdup met
nd recognised ons of the robbers as
Leo Furlong, a young man of 28 years
whom Coleman has known for elpnt
years.
The sheriff and. deputies hurried to
Furlong's home last night and locked
Mm up on suspicion. Furlong served a
year at Kelly Butts for robbery four
years ago.
i Furlong declares he was at his home
" sick On the flight of the robbery,., a
statement borne out by his mother and
a 7-year-old girl, Mary Worhuffer, who
pent the evening at the Furlong home.
Today Furlong said he was down town
Tuesday for the purpose of securing pay
for 19 days' work as a car checker for
the Southern Pacific. He got the money
. and on the way home met Coleman. They
each drank a glass of beer in a Stark
i. street saloon, after which Furlong says
he started home and arrived at 4:80 and
did not leave it again until the officers
arrested him.
.-' Coleman Explains Presence.
Coleman explains his presence on the
train In this wise. He wanted to go to
Troutdale and asked Engineer Phelps to
let him ride on the engine. Phelps r--
' fused and Coleman entered one of the
day coaches before the train pulled out
of the Union depot. He says he is well
. attainted with, Conductor Reams and
Head Brakeman Abbott and had spoken
to-them both shortly efore the holdup.
While .4he ,.holdup was in progress he
says be ran through the cars and In the
third coach from the rear met Furlong,
who . he declares was masked, and
topped, him.
There is no doubt that Coleman was
on the train, but the remainder of his
narrative Is gravely doubted, especially
o in light of the fact that his friends
ay he was under the Influence of liquor
-at the time. Both Furlong and Coleman
are being held, however, pending a thor
ough Investigation.
The officials engaged in the hunt Are'
going on the theory that every man
brought Into the station is a "suspect"
whether there is a shred of evidence or
not . "We suspect every prisoner, al
though some of them are -suspected of
being hungry more than anything else,"
said Chief Clark, Jokingly.
Setsetlves Close Mouthed.
It is believed, .however, that the de
tectives Working on the case have tan
gible evidence that may result in some
definite action soon. . Wood, assisted
toy DetectLyea HiUyer and Coleman, put
in most of the night working and they
.are very clone mouthed, regarding their
actions..
The crew .of the robbed train, all re
turned' to Portland yesterday and last
nlsht and are "now in the city. This
forenoon Engineer Phelps visited Woods'
office and retold his story and today
Fireman Chester Monroe, Conductor
Reams and Brakemen Thomas and Ab-
bott will tell of their experiences.
Firemen Monroe today said that only
one of the bandits appeared in the en
gine cab. He said the fellow climbed
over the tender and shouted "Hey
there!" and at the same time leveled
his revolver on Phelps.
Monroe jumped to his feet and the
desperado then' aimed the gun at tha
fireman and told him to remain still.
While the bandit's attention was taken
up In directing Phelps to stop the train.
Monroe edged to the little door opening
, onto the running board, broke the glass
and ran toward the engine pilot. The
bandit fired one shot. Reaching the
ground Monroe hid--and seeing he was
not pursued, climbed the embankment
hailed a passing automobile and tele-
: phoned for help.
It is believed the supposed tramp who
was- shot during the holdup and died
yesterday was C. A. Vance, who until
, a short ime ago was employed as a
brakeman by the Polnon Lumber com
pany at Aberdeen, Wash. Vance claimed
Viiglnia as his home. At the hospital
the man gave the name of Joe Barron.
The body will be held by the coroner
. the customary time and then be interred.

be manifested by the voters of Port

she said, had been to see a roadway

to realize it before passing into ths be

In ths general discussion there were
many complimentary references to the
action of the people of Clarke county
In bonding themselves to their constiu-
tlonal limit ln favor of tho bridge. The
sentiment was expressed that the peo
pie of Portland with an assessed valua

As contemplated the bridge calls for
an expenditure of $1,280,000 ln the con-

The cost of the roadways or approaches
from the Oregon shore will approxl-
