ROMANCE OF DEMOCRATIC CHAIRMAN MAY END IN DIVORCE
been warned to keep a lookout for the
bandits. The locnl authorities ex
pressed confidence today that the au
thors of the most daring crime in
years in southern Oregon would soon
be caught. The only crime approach
ing the one of yesterday in daring
was the robbery of the S. P. train in
Cow Creek canyon three or four years
ago.
The Rogue River Stale bank of
Rogue Hivcr was robbed Thursday
nftcrnoon shortlv nftcr 3 o'clock of
$800 in gold, nftcr Cashier K. R. Ros
nor hnd been rendered unconscious by
the. powerful fumes of spirits of nm-
inotiin, hurled into his fare bv n ban
dit, Tito robber, himself in danger of
being overcome by the drug he used
to consuinmn.o his crime, grabbed nJtducntion of young people,
tobacco nan containing too loot ami
departed ns he came hy the back
door, llctween $."00 and $000 was
overlooked. The criminal adventure
was cunrted with tho precision of n
moving picture scene. The loss is"
covered hy bank insnronce.
Thinks Two Implicated
U wns first presumed that but one
jnnn took part in the robbery, but
Cashier Rosser said this morning that
he had n presentiment that two men
were in the bank. He wns balancing
the bank books for the day when the
feeling possessed him thnt someone
wns standing behind him, caused him
to lift his eyes from his work to in
vestigntc. A mnn wns standing be
fore him. llcforo lie could say a word
or make a iriove the ammonia wns
hurled into bis face. He was ren
dered hclples instantly. The robber
or robbers quickly gathered their
fMvng and escaped, no one seeing them
enter or leave.
Hnlf nn hour Inter Roscr regained
consciousness nml spread the alarm.
Sheriff Singler nnd Deputy Wilson of
tins county spcil in nn nuto to the
scene. A telephone call to Grants
Pass brought Sheriff Smith nnd den-
titles, who searched the surrounding
country without results. It is believ
ed thnt tho robber or robbers nro in
liiding waiting for on opportunity to
make their way out.
Warned Itcforvhand
Tho robbery of the bnnk was not
entirely unexpected by the authorises
nnd Cashier Rosser had been warned
to tnke precautions. Two weeks ago
the sheriffs office wns told n plan
was being formed to rob the bnnk
This information came from u tran
sient, who claimed that he had been
invited by two yeggs to participate in
the robbing of tho bank, explaining
thnt nmmonm would bo used. The
robbery, strange to sny, was negoti
ated just ns tho authorities were told
it would, except as to time. A good
description of the two plotters wns
Riven. They are known in criminal
circles of the northwest, nnd both nro
ex-convicts.
To forestall (he robbers, the back
door of tho bank wns kept locked.
hntrnncc wns effected Thursday nf
tcrnoon by the uso of n pass key. The
second precaution was the instnlling
of nn electric button on the floor,
near the cashiers window. Uy step
ping on this the community would be
n roused. When tho bandit enme he
worked with such dispatch that Cash
ier Rosser had no time to step upon
his snfety device.
Tlitvo Theories Advanced
Three theories nro advanced nnent
the escape of the robbr or robbers. A
gray Huick "W nuto was seen to
enter nnd leave Rogue River about tho
time of tho robbery. It was occupied
by thrco men and a womun. The
driver wns u large man wearing spec
tncles. Seeley Hall, en route to
Grants Pass on the unto stage, pass
ed u gray car beyond Rogue River.
It is believed tho nuto wns only nn
incident in the robbery, with no con
nection. The other theories are that
they escaped on tho southbound S. P.
passenger train leaving Rogue River
about tho time of tho crime, or thnt
they nro in n prearranged hiding
place, tho Inst theory being tho one
uiost credited hy the authorities.
Upon tho arrival of tho sheriffs of
Jackson nnd Josephine counties u
search of the bnnk vicinity, wns mndo
for clues, nnd n senrch of tho sur
rounding country mndo upon tho the
ory thnt tho escape, hnd been made In
nn nuto.
Auto Trucks Followed
Trucks of nn nuto wore found go
ing ii' Gall's creek, mid us n precau
tion both routes into tho section were
taken, Sheriff Singlcr going one way
and Sheriff Smith tho other. Tho
frocks were, followed until they turn
id off into the brush three or four
iniltp up Gulls creelc Whether the
tracks" were, ninde by the escaping
