It was about three o'clock Mon day afternoon when three men rode into Milton, and two of them went into the Bank of Milton, while the third beld the horses at the rear of the building. The president, A. Hopson,-the cashier, N. A. . Davis, and the assistant, cashier, Mr. Hopson's son, were in the bank at the time. .The two men walked boldly. in and demanded money, emphasizing - their request with pistol points. The officers were not disposed to accede, and .Presi dent Hopson turned to get - a pis tol. At this juncture three shots were fired by the robbers, one of which struck President Hopson's left side, the ball merely making a flesh wound, and also grazing his left arm. Cashier Davis es caped with, his face badly powder burned. After the shooting, Mr. Hopson's son handed out $1000 in gold to the ' robbers fram..the till and they left the bank'CY -.-( The desperadoes then Vjnoujited their horses and were awa before any one in ; Milton scarcely, were aware of the shooting and robbery. Deputy Sheriff Ritchie, with posse, started after the ' robbers, in about teii minutes nfter the alarm was given. - . Deputy Sheriff Stamper received a telephone about the matter, and at once he and W T. Gilman, Hugh Robie and young Jerry St, Dennis, took up the chase. The robbers were tracked to the top of the Butler grade, where they cut through a wire fence and headed for the Vansycle country, The Athena posse stopped Monday night at Killian's and Tuesday morning early, again took up the trail with the Milton posse and Sheriff Furnish, who had arrived in the night. The trail led across the desolate uninhabited country to Juniper, where Mr. Gilmin left the hunters and came home yesterday noon. ' . Mr. Gilman is of the opinion that the robbers will not be taken by the ones who are trailing them, but may be headed off by tele grams Undoubtedly the robbers headed for the Columbia river.

The following 'is the,; prize school of essay in the public this city, read by r Miss Evalena Thompson Nov. 3, 1893. - , : ; Whils searching in vain for a subject which I thought ' would, be of interest to. 'he pupils, and teachers of 4 the .Athena public school, I chose for my theme "Ath ena," jits growth and development . in the past seven years'; and how it ... looked when I come here in 18G. The town is about fifteen years old. When I came here seven years, aga yesterday, the village" of Ceu terville as it was then 'called,' and even j until about five years ago . when,' it was incorporated, and the name changed to Ath6na; there; were no sidewalks except on Maine street, very few trees, and it seemed like rather a desolate place for one to think of making her home. But many changes have been made in that time. At that time there were but ' two churches, two hotels, one imple ment store, one grocery store, one dry goods store and a post office. There were" no railroads, telephones nor telegraphs. The stage coach found its way safely over the hills, plains and prairies." The improvements in that , time aro as follows: two churches, two dry goods stores two hotels or boarding houses, two implement stores, one drug store,' one depot one bank, and a; fire department. LThe Bchool house twice as large" as it wasthen, and there have been res- idences added too numerous to men ton. ' ' ' ' : v "' There have been ' five additions made to the town, the Kirk addi tion, Rose addition, Stafford addi tion, Richard addition, and Khowl ton addition!. '. I have grown to think , Athena the first placo in Oregon, , and am proud to say I am a resident of the place. Evalena Thompson. - Please Make the Correction.
