— One ot the most spectacular
daylight robberies In Portland’s
history was successfully staged
late Friday when five armed man
held up a messenger of the Olds,
Wortman and King department
store and escaped In a stolen
automobile with >39,405.
Working with - clock-like pre
cision, tke tire men stepped from
their automobile, parked at the
curb. Just as the messenger sad
his guatd, Captain Bailey of the
police force were about to enter
, the store.
While four of the bandit gang
held Bailey at bay with drawn
guns, the fifth member snatched
the satchel containing the money
from the meeeenger.
The bandits then leaped Into
their car and started to drive
away, ■ but the engine “died.“
Instantly, the rear window of the
ear was knocked out and the
muzzle» of thejr guns appeared.
A crowd of passers by, who had
wltnesaeA-the holdup, drew back
at thia flourish, giving the driver
time to start the engine .again.

only after,the last member had
fallen from pain and exhauat-
The novitiate began Thursday

back in the hills, with younger
members dragging heavy chaîna
across the floor to resemble
thunder while older members
raised their voices above the din
to chant their native prayers.
