SHERIDAN BANK ROBBED K obbera Blow Safe up and Get $7,000 THE LOCAL HAPPENINGS By the use of giant powder, a gang of burglars blew open the safe of Scroggiu & Wortman'a bank, in the little town of Sheridan, Yamhill county, Monday morning at 3 o'clock, aud made their escape before it could even bo ascertained how many men wore in the party. Three shots were fired at them by the mayor of the town, but without effect as a bevy pall of fog hung over tho streets. This is the second assualt ou a bank iu Yamhill county inside of a week, and '.he county is aroused over the daring attempts of the gang. It is believed they are the same men who exploded nine charges of dynamite in their attempts to gain an entrance to tho vault of the Bauk of Newberg at an ea-ly hour October 10. Iu that instance the gaug exciiauged shots with citizens, who were attracted to tho spot by tho explosions. Finding that their efforts were futile in that attempt they left without securing any valuables, but leaving the inter ior of the building in a damaged condition. Tho attempt Mou lay morn ing at Sheridau was carried ont to a safe completion before an? 0110 in the town knew of the presence of crirui-, mils. Inside of an hoor after the dis covery of the crime, all points that could bo reached by telephone were notified, and a close watch is being kept for tho men. It is not positive ly known, but it is supposed there are three in tho gaug and that they had a rubber tired vehicle in which they made their escape and carried off the com. tor daring and cleanness of execution it is tho greatest piece of criminal work ever attempted iu Yamlii1! count v. A SMALL BLAZE MONDAY Burned Hole In the Roof of Old Softool Building. A spark from the smokestack of the piue ueedlo factory located iu tho old school house lodged iu tho ' roof Monday afternoon and created a small blaze. Tho fire department was called out and soon hud a stream of witter 11 the roof. Men with small buckets climed up in the garret and put out tho remaining sparks. Tho only damage was a small hole in the roof. It was fortunate that a passer by noticed tho blaze aud gave the alarm before the firo got beyond con trol, as at least two dwelling houses would have been burned if tho factory hud been consumed. Tho old school house lias been a source of worry tc tho immediate neighborhood lor a long time and especially so when the factory is iu operation. W. P. Chap man of Portland, the munnger of the company arrived iu Grunts Pass Sat urday and they started up tho ma chinery Monday to finish a few bale of the fiber for shipment. An item has been going tho rounds of the press to tho effect that the Ore gon Pine Needle Co. lind sold out and that the plant would bo moved to La Grande. Mr. McCarthy of Port laud, the principal owner did sell the controlling interest of stock to a La Grande man, who will erect a building and equip it with mac hinery for making fiber by the Terrell process, but the Grants Pu-s factory will probably remain here. This item has led many outsiders to believe that tie Pacific Pino Needle Co., operated by Mr. and Mrs. Cords, who introduced the prooefi into America, ha I sold their plant. There havo been no changes iu this company and the factory has been supplying tho filler necessary to keep tho mattress factory working. Brief Notes o.nd Items of Interest cvnd Importance.
