A VERY BOLD ROBBERY
Five Masked Men Kobbed the Western
Lumber Coinpatiy of I'ortlaud of
ror.Ti.AND, Or., Dee. C live masked
men, oy the exercise 01 uie cooieat kiiiu
of nerve and daring, robbed the Western
Lumber Company of sf l,72S shortly be
fore G o'clock last evening. Ihe deed
was planned and executed with the most
consummate skill. In a flash tbu men
bad entered the main ollieeof the lumber
company, at Uie toot 01 eevenieenin
street, compelled all the employes to
hold up their hands, dumped the till,
containing the pa envelopes mil 01
money into a gunny-sack, and vauished
in the darkness and murky fog that ad
mirably covered their retreat. The men
hud chosen their time well. It was the
company's monthly payday. Tho men
on the ninht crew Imd been almost
entirely paid oil'. In a few minutes the
rush of the day woikers for their hard-
earned coin would have commenced.
Uetweou these two times of danger the
masked robbers acted, and acted quietly
and quickly.
ln tho privato otllco at tho rear were
W. B. Ayer, president of thu company,
and M. 1 Henderson, vice-president,
who weio unaware that the treasury was
beinir despoiled. Behind the pining'
punter in the main ofllee were 11. W. ,
Hall, cashier, and Dan Campbell, as-
slstaut cashier. The latter bad just paid i
otl'tvoemploies when tho mneked men
ontored. Ton sharpen- of "Hold up i
your blinds, all of you," enforced by the
flourish of a handy-looking revolver, the
employen compiled and stood looking in
blank nmn.emcnt at tho scene before
them. Two men guarded the exterior.
One short man covered ihetwoi'inployes,
Wtiile tho other two did the work, Quick
us a flush ouo of thu men ran around
back of tho paying counter, ready with
his pistol to meet any "gun play" on
the part of the employes. Through the
paying window Itself a gray-bended
robber clliubed, grabbed the till of money

and quickly dumped it into a gunny
sack that tiis companion held open.
Then all three etarted to escape.
Meantime there were two diversions
that threatened to break the successful
course of the robbery. Willie Scott, the
office boy, was near the door and at
tempted to dart out and give the alarm.
He slipped1 and fell and was collared by
one of the intruders and afterward close
ly covered. Ole Moe, the yard foreman,
was outside, and saw the robbery t'oiug
on. He armed himself with a heavy
club and stood waiting for the first rob
ber to come out. But he, too, came
under the watchful gaze of two of the
members of the party. He was com
pelled to throw up his hands and to drop
the club, with which he iiad contem
plated breaking a few beads and saving
the company's money. When these
difficulties were overcome, the party
vanished as mysteriously as they came.
No trace of their vieit was left save the
absence of the coin. Tho men wore
black and white masks, but there was
no clew us to their identity.
At 1:30 o'clock last night the police
reported they had not been able to find
anybody who had seen the faintest
tiaco of tho robbers.
