Hlolo Cor From Riverside
Hotel To Make Getuway
Two men, believed to be J. Ohm
and P. Glass, set upon Max Mlllln In
his room in the Wright hotel about
8 o'clock lust night, striking him sev
eral times on the head with an Iron
rod, and then, after falling to get
bis money, calmly walked out
through the lobby of the hotel and
escaped. Several persons saw the

walk around the corner of Shuey's
store, and it Is believed they cut
back through the ruins of Fox's gar
age building.
A now Maxwell car belonging to
the Herscholl brothers, employed by
The Shovlln-Hlxon Company, and
staying at the Rlvorslde hotel, was
missed from In front of the latter
place at midnight. It Is believed to
havo been taken by the men who com
mitted the assault In the Wright.
Mlllln, who came hero three days
ago from Portland, told the police
he had first met the two men on the
road to Shovlln-Hlxon Camp No. 2.
when he was going ont and Hiey
were returning. Yesterday they met
him In town and, telling him that
they were broke and had not eaten
for over a day, they borrowed $2
from him, promising to pay him back
next time they enmo from enmp.
A little before 8 o'clock last night
the two men met Mlllln Just as he
was about to enter his room, which
is on tho farthest hallway east on the
second floor of the hotel and remote
from the lobby. They engaged him
in conversation and Millin was en
tirely unsuspicious until one of them
hit him over tho head from behind
with the iron rod, which is about 10
inches long and half an Inch thick
and bent on either end, a wicked-
looking tool. The blow failed to
stun him and a Rtrttggto ensued which
wrecked the furniture of tho room
Mlllln was hit with the rod several
times In the melee. The men ran
away after failing to get his pocket
book, and sevoral men who had heard
the scuffling and Miltin's calls for
help came to his aid after the men
had disappeared.
Although badly bruised about the
head, Millin was able to walk up to
Dr. Bloom's office to havo his wounds
dressed.
Although the crime was committed
at about 8 o'clock. It is thought hard
ly possible that the men could have
made the evening train, as Chief
Carlon was at the depot, nnd would
have seen any suspicious looking
men, particularly one without a hat.
Search was begun immediately by
the police and a number of deputies
who wore pressed Into service, but
no further trace was found. A
bloodhound belonging to Mr. Peter
son was put on the trail, but he lost
the scent after following It back to
Greenwood avenue near the black
smith shop. A thorough search was
made of the railroad yards by Night
Oficer Carpenter, Warden Tompkins
of Pendleton and Lee Stevens, as
It was thought that the men
might ho Intending to catch the

to Fallbrldge and other places in
case the men might have made the

Chiof Carlon and Game Warden
McDonald, who was pressed Into
service, searched the town nnd looked
out for cars going out. Eight men
worked on the ense up to midnight
and the police were on the lookout
during the night, but no trace was
found until the loss of the car was
reported this' morning.

(Br United Freee to The, Bend Bulletin)
By Henry Wood.
PARIS, Aug. 13. The resignation
of President Duschnnel Is imminent
as the result of France's new and ag
gressive unti-Iiolshcvik policy and
the consequent diplomatic misunder
standing with Greut Britain, It was
reported in high diplomatic circles
today.
In such an event It is considered
likely that Premier Millerand will be
elected president. The French press
generally declares the recognition of
General Wrangel's anti-Bolshevik
government in Southern Russia is to
be merely an Incident in the gradual
divergence between the Russian poli
cies of France and Great Britain.
FRANCE AND 1'. 8. AGREE.
PARIS, Aug. 13. France sent a
note to the United States today, de

regarding Russia as were expressed
by President Wilson In his note to
