Peputy Sheriff II. P. Minto went to Gervais yesterday to acquaint himself with the details of a daring holdup which occurred in that city on Saturday night,-in hopes that some clue might be found that would lead to the identity and arrest of the desperate criminals. According to the particulars learned by Mr. Minto, three." masked men with drawn revolvers entered a saloon con ducted by Joseph Becker at 10:3. p. m. and ordered hands up. The occupants of the saloon were the proprietor, Chas. Wampolo of St. Louis, and Iee Schultz of near Gervais, who at first thought a practical joke was being played. This thought was soon "dispelled, however, and all three" were lined up with their faces towardJthe wall, two of the rob bers covering them wua their guns while the third took Mr. Becker's keys and locked the doors of saloon. Rob ber No. 3 then went behind the bar and rifled the money till and drawers, se curing $3."2 in money and two revolvers. He then tnrned his attention to the victims with uplif ted hnds. From Mr. Scliultz's pockets he extracted $117 and from Mr. Wampole's, $18. He also ex amined their watches but did not con sider them of much value and left them hanging by their chains. Mr. Becker carried a watch with a gold filled case, and this the robter appropriated. While Wing searched Mr. Wampole made a slight resistance and was dealt a severe blow over the head with a revolver in the hands of one of the robbers. After completing their work the masked men warned their victims not to leave the building for the next thirty minutes and then backed out of the front door, the same through which they had enter ed. .. , -v.? - f:.:r--; .,.-vW The robbers wore blue jumpers and their faces were hidden behind masks made from blue overall eloth.

' JOHN BARRETT TALKS. Thinks Alarm Over Action of Chinese Guilds on Boycott Is Exag gerated. !'..... SAN FRANCISCO, Aug; 4. John Barrett, the newly appointed minister to Colombia, is here in connection with the commercial relations existing be tween the- United .Ktates jiml China, artieularly as regards the boycott in augurated by the Chinese gnilds against American products. He insists, how ever, that his mission Is not of official character, but simply to acquaint him self with the feeling of -the people of the coast as to the boycott, and inter view someof the merchants who are engaged in the oriental trade. Minister I.hirrett while conceding that the Chinese guilds are all powerful in their country, is of the opinion that the present alarm shown by the people of this country over tho action of the Chinese is unnecessarily exaggerated. He firmly lelieves that whatever grie vance the Chinese guilds have will soon be dispelled when they are made to realize that the United States govern ment is disposed to act fairly with them in the matter of immigration. .. He is also of the opinion that, this country's future policy as regards the orient will 'depend much upon the re sults of the peace conference between the representatives of Japan and Rus sia, anil predicts that the next two years will witness a great change in the jK.Iicy of the United States; a change attended by a noticeable improvement in commercial relations in the far cast. . . . .
