THE POSTOFFICE BOBBED.
Burglar Carries Away Two MaU Sacks
Saturday Night.
About 10:30 Saturday night burgiars
broke into the postoffloe in this city
and carried away two mail sacks, one
the lettle pouch for Portland contain
ing the registered mail, and the other
a paper sack. Tbe postoffice was
closed at 0 o'clock. Postmaster J. A.
Crossen having made up the mail and
pi iced the sacks in the lobby where
the express messenger, Henry Biddell,
calls for and takes them to the train.
Mr. Riddell went to the postoffloe at
about 10:20, got tbe east bound mail,
and took it to the depot for the train
which arrives at 10:4; at that time
everything at the office was regular,
nothing having been disturbed.
The robbery was discovered at about
11 o'clock by Mr. Ed. Kurtz, agent for
the Pacific Express Co., who. lives
across the street from the postolfice,
and. who returning from the Umatilla
House, where he bad been to see a
friend off on the train, by looking
through the door of the office, noticed
the mail sacks. were gone. He at once
notified Postmaster Crossen. who was
attending a session of thetlk's Lodge.
and an investigation was immediately
made.
It was found that entrance to the
office was made by breaking a glass in
the door, making a hole large enough
that the rubber coul.l reach his arm
through and unfasten the lock which
is a spring latch.
Sheriff Driver was notified of the
robbery, and together with Night-
watchman Connley, Mr. Crossen and
others, the search for the missing
sacks was continued during the
remainder of the night, but without
avail. About 8 o'clock Sunday morn
ing the lej-ther pouch was found by
John Riggs, near W. N. Wiley's place
back of the Academy grounds. It had
been cut open and the contents
scattered around. All the registered
packages had been opened and the
contents examined, but little of value
was taken. The greater portion of
the valuables was in checks, which
were not negotiable, and were left. In
all there were some $20,000 in checks.
among which was a check for $8,000
for state taxes, sent by County Treas
urer Michell to the state treasurer.
The paper sack was found in Mr. M'c
Haley's barn in the eastern part of the
city, but nothing in it had been dis
turbed. Where the leather pouch was found,
a coat button was discovered, and this
furnished a clew to the identity of the
robbers. It was turned over to Sheriff
Driver, and in looking about he found
a coat in Mrs. Britton's lodging house,
from which the button was removed.
It was shown to Harry Miller, the
owner of the coat, and he recognized it
as his. Miller and his companion,
Templeton, were immediately arrested,
and Bud Bobbins, who had been with
them the night of the robbery, was
also taken in custody.
Information was - filed by Deputy
District Attorney Phelps in the justice
court, but was withdrawn Monday morr -
ing, and the case whs taken before V.
S. Commissioner J. M. Hurtington.
The evidence so far secured against
Miller, Templeton and Bobbins is
purely circumstantial, though ' fur
nished good grounds to believe the of
ficers have secured tbe guilty parties..
Besides the button off of Miller's coat,
a card was in his possession, on which
was written, "Bill Wiley's house, 2
houses east of Academy," which was
the spot where the leather pouch was
found, and indicates that that bad been
designated as a place of meeting for
some purpose.
Miller and Templeton have been in
The Dalles about a week, and have
called each day at the postoffice for
mail, and have been noticed to closely
observe tbe surroundings of the office.
This lead the officers to believe from
the beginning that they knew some
thing of th robbery.
So fur as Postmaster Crossen bas
been able to ascertain there were but
$.5.30 cents in cash in the pouch, and
this the robbers appropriated to their
own use.. The checks of 3ourse were
valueless, and were left with the re
mainder of the letters.
WILL BATE TO HANG.
Carl Albrecht is Convicted of- Murder In
the First Degree
Friday, at Medford the jury which
tried Carl Albrecht for the murder of
his wife, on Feb. 18, returned a ver
dict of murder in the firt degree, after
15 minutes deliberation, and barring
tbe possibility of executive clemency
being extended, he will have to hang.
The deed for which be is to suffer
was a premeditated, cold-blooded af
fair, and was committed because bis
wife refused to support him. Albrecht
had been very cruel to the woman for
a number of years, and bis treatment
became so bitter a week before the
crime that sb left him and instituted
divorce proceedings. Albrecht did
his utmost to get ber to return, and
February 17 said that he would talk no
longer, but would kill her. The next
day, after Mrs. Albrecht returned
from doing a day's washing for the
family of John Preuss, in South Marsh
field, be made good bis threat.
When bis dastardly deed was com-,
mitted, Albrecht turned and pointed
his revolver at himself, as if he were
going to take his own life, and then
took to his beels to get out of reach of
the officers. William Webster shadow
ed him in bis flight, Albrecht keeping
him at a respectable distance by
threatening to shoot. . Webster pointed
out Albrecht's hiding-place to
Marshal El rod, who went up to him
and ordered him to hold up his hands;
but Albrecht only held up one, and
was in tbe act of shooting Elrod when
the latter fired. Tbe t bird shot brought
the wife-murderer to the ground. At
first it was thought' that Albrecht
would die, but on examination it was
found that he received - only flesh
wounds. "

Lecture on hiissla.
It was only a small audience at the

knowledged to be the best that have
ever been exhibited in The Dalles,
being of some of the most noted places
in the world, and were all decided
works of art.
T"e doctor has traveled extensively
through bis native country, Russia,
and has in fact been almost all over
the world, and being a close observer
of both nature and human life is cap
able of Imparting much knowledge
which ha has accumulated during his 1
t
extensive travels. This be does in a
pleasant and concise manner, and by
the use of bis illustrations, leads the
hearer to almost believe he is looking
upon realities while he listens to this
tallented gentleman explain the views
he illustrates. The lecture deserved a
much better patronage than it received
and should it ever be repeated in the
city will most surely attract a large
audience.

I. Herrman, traveling freight agent
for for the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul railway, arrived in Pendleton
Thursday evening from the East. He
has been at Huntington and in the in
terior country looking after stock

Both Witter and Coal,.
Mr. A. Buchler. proprietor of the
Colombia brewery, has been more than
fully repaid for his expenditures in
prospecting for artesian water.- A 12
foot coal vein was struck ac the depth
of 70 feet, mention of which was made
some time since, another email vein
was gone through at a depth of 120 feet
and today what he was prospect
ing for was struck at a depth of 123
feet. Jus j after noon the drill, after
passing . through a remarkably hard
strata of rock, dropped a distance of 18
iiichss into a vein of pure water. So
far the water has not risen to the
surface, but ther is evidently an
abundant supply. The coal and water
are both valuable discoveries, and if
they prove as extensive as they appear
will cause corner lots in Tin Dalles to
double in price in a very short time,
even if the locks are not opened this
season.

arranged, though a most agreeable
surprise was given the hostess and
was an enjoyable afternoon for tbe
guests. After devoting the afternoon
to music, conversation, etc., the ladies
bade Mrs. C. .adieu, hoping -the fleet of

- Electric Bitters.
Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen
erally needed, when the languid ex
hausted feeling prevails, when tbe
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of a tonic and alterative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often avet ted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free
ing the system from the malarial poi
son. Headache, indigestion, constipa
tion, dizziness yield to Electric Bit
ters. 50c. . and $1.00 per bottle at
Blakeley & Houghton's drug store.

Looked on With Favor.
The Goldendale Sentinel says P. L.
Campbell's scheme for establishing
wagon train connection between that
place and the outside world is meeting
with favor with the people of Klickitat
county. The question though that is
bothering them is whether to go
through High Prairie to Lyle or to
The Dalles. If the road goes to The
Dalles, her people will help build the
road, but the company will lese the
hauling of the wheat of the High
Prairie country. But on the other
hand terminal rates are to be bad at
The Dalles and that town is also a
good place for our people to stop over
night in traveling to and from this
county. The desire of the promoters
of the scheme is to obtain possession
of the right-of-way of the railroad sur
vey from here to Centerville and
grade the same, which could be used
for an electric railway from here to
The Dalles at some future time if de
sired. From Onterville the road
would run toward the mountain, over
which an even grade would be built,
The company will obtain the right-of
way, so that at any future time part of
it can be used for a railroad grade. If
The Dalles wants the road, . let her
take the initiatory and sign for one-
half of the stock; our people will raise
the balance.
- Are They Timid T
Yesterday two prominent republi
cans were discussing the nolitical out
look, and were baraiing Mr Brigham,
a staunch republican, for' traveling
over the the county delivering free
silver speeches, whioh one of them de
clared would work to the detriment of
the four republican legislative nomi
nees, who are all avowed gold men.
At this point in the conversation, a
bystander enquired what the four
gentlemen referred to were doing, that
they are not out delivering speeches
for gola, and desired to know if they
were to timid too get out among the
people and talk for sound money? He
thought four talented and able gentle
men, as they are all recognized to be,
ought certainly to be ahle to counter
act the damage one lone speaker could
do. There are other voters in the dis
trict who would also like to know why
ttiese gentlemen are not out whooping
it up fur gold and republicanism.
Gentlemen, don't be timid; don't bide
your '"light under a bushel," but get
out and let it shine.
Bather Inquisitive. -
Endeksby, May 9, 1896.
Mr. Editor: It is reported here that
the Sheriffe of this County bas agreed
to Pay the Directors of the Dalles Dis
trick the amt of Interest Due tbeir
Teachers on their Warrants for the
time he Neglected to Pay over the Tax
Money, but Left the Money in the
County Bank.
Now, Mr. Edito", does he get Inter
est on Money he Puts in County Bank
and does he get Interest on County
Warrants he keep on Hand? and, Mr.
Editor, wby don't tbe County collect
Interes on Warrant as well as School
Directors Jos. Popp.
This paper is not in a position to
answer the above questions, not being
fully advised as to what the sheriff has
done regarding the matters referred to,
or in fact if be holds any tax money,
but if any reader is sufficiently ad
vised on this matter to " answer the
question Sy-the columns of the Times
Mount AINEEK are open for an an
swerEd. - A Valuable ' pisco very.
A bank of fire clay of excellent qual
ity . has been discovered within five
miles of The Dalles. - Mr. Burns, the'
mining expert, has secured a quantity
of the clay, and will make a thorough
test of it. Mr. Burns consideres the
clay of as good quality as the best that
is receiver) from Europe, and if it can
De converted into a Sre-brick, he will
take steps to further develop tbe pros
pects The bank is said to be quite ex
'tensive, and if the quality of the clay
is as good as Mr. Burns believes it
to be, it will prove a valuable dis
covery. Most of the fire brick used in
the United States come from Europe,
and. have a commercial value of 25
cents each. The cost of preparing the
clay and making brick is little greater
than that of makiog ordinary brick,
hence there would be an enormous
profit in manufacturing them if a
proper quality of clay can be had.
Tnroogb Siberia on a TVneeL
Until tbe present no cyclist has in
vaded Central Siberia.' B. L. Jeffer
son, an En 'lish wheelman, who has a
penchant for riding long distances and
into strange countries, bas started for
that part of the world. He will finish
his ride at Irkutsk. With good for
tune, he will reach there by first
traveling along the northern boundary
of Holland to Hamburg. From there
he will make for St. Petersburg, and
thence to Moscow. From Moscow he
will cross the Ural mountains and over
the Siberian table lands to Omsk, and
Kranoiarsk. thence to Irkutsk.
The distance covered will be about
6000 miles, and the rider expects that
he will be all of five or six months in
making the trip.
Marvelous Results.
From a letter written by Rev. J.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich., we
are permitted to make this extract: "I
have no hesitation ia recommending
Dr. King's New Discovery, as the re
sults were almost marvelous in the
case of my wife. While I was pastor
of the Baptist church at Rives Junc
tion she was brought down with pneu
monia succeeding la grippe. Terrible
paroxysms of coughing would last
hours with little interruption' and it
seemed as if she could not survive
them. A friend recommended Dr.
King's New Discovery: it was Quick in
its work and highly satisfactory in re
sults." Trial bottles free at Blakelev
