THE FIEND WHO ABUSED HISS PRICE CAPTURED TODAY IN NORTH DAKOTA FIERCE HUNGER DRIVES HIM TO SETTLEMENTS FOR FOOD CAPTURED HE CONFESSES Hurrying Him to Jail the Sheriff the Jail, Where, at Press Hour, Today an Angry Mob Was Gathering and Demanding His Being Turned Over to It Wilson Says He Escaped From Prison in California Mobs Are Gathering From Surrounding Towns and the Sheriff's Posse May Yet Be Overpowered. Winnipeg, Man., Sept. 16. Henry "Bill" Wilson, who was captured at the Halliday farm, near Hannah, N. D., today, made a complete confe slon this aftrenoon to the kidnaping of Gladys Price, a school teacher, who whs held prisoner by Wilson for more than 30 hours In wild brush country. The sheriff at Hannaah has thrown an extra heavy guard around the jail, because a mob of several hundred persons are yelling for the prisoner's life. Wilson says he escaped from pris on in California, after serving 3 years of a long term. He probably will be returned to California to com plete his sentence. He says Wilson is not his real name. , Wilson, who admitted his identity, surrendered without a fight. He ap peared at the home of a farmer named Halliday, and asked for food. He was unarmed. The farmer gave him IT WAS NOT THE DOG THAT WAS "YELLOW" Pasadena, Cal., Sept. 16 Patrol man Griffin is haunted today by the knowledge that he was forced to kill a loyal and faithful dog before he could place Antonio Villores, the ani mal's master, under arrest on a triv ial charge. The dc,g was just a com mon, plain, every day yellow dog. When Griffin placed his hand on Villores' shoulder, the animal lunged at the poiiceman. Griffin drew his revolver and fired. The bullet sped through the dog's body but he kept coming. Mortally wounded, the faithful animal made a second rush and was met with a second bullet. Still allive, he turned an agonizing glance toward his master and with a faint growl again made for Griffin. A third bullet ended It's life. "I do not care what you do with me now," said Villores. "That dog Jjas niy best friend. He may have wen yellow, but It was only on the Surface." r El tt CSl TV Si X : - Clearance Sale of Pianos, Organs, Sewing Machines, Violins, Guitars, Banjos, Mandolins.

Wil son ate ravenously, and apparently was almost starved by his long so journ in the bush after he left Miss Price. No sooner had Deputy May re ceived the news of Wilson's capture than he gathered a posse and auto mobiled to the Halliday farm. When the posse appeared Wilson fled and tried to hide in a haystack, but sur rendered when he saw he was sur rounded. Within an hour the news of Wil son's capture had spread and mobs of armed men, boys and women started for Hannah from Snowflake, Manttou, Edmond Bay and all other ; small settlements in Manitoba, de- termined to lynch the ravisher. Wilson was dressed exactly as the girl declared her assailant was. It Is possible he will be talten to Snow flake at once for Identification. THE ACTRESS WHO DITCHED KING MANUEL UNITED TRESS LEASED WIItE.l New York, Sept. 16. Wearing about a pint of pearls and the fil miest, clingirgest gowns imaginable, Gaby Deslys, the Parisian actress, who is said to have cost King Manu al, of Portugal, his throne, arrived here today on the liner Lorraine. She posed freely for the photograph ers, but refused to discuss Manuel. Deslys is apparently about 23 years of age and undoubtedly beau tiufl. Or Ul Cargo of Silk San Francisco, Sept. 16.- Carrying the largest shipment of silk ever re ceived at this port, the Japanese steamer Chen Yo Maru docked here today. The cargo consisted of 2,250 bales, valued at $2,000,000. The bulk of the shpment was from Yokohama, the remainder from Shanghai and Hong Kong. All of the. silk will be sent east. ITft T I. Forrest City, Ark., Sept. 16. Opinion Is divided here to day as to whether Superintend ent Frank Childer, of the city and light plant. Is the meanest man In Arkansas, or the most In genious one. The war department owns a 1 Missouri mule, which Childer says is the laziest quadruped ever harnessed. To Infuse some ged up a patent starter. He used a small electric Dattery, witn a switch contrivance to the drlv- er's hand, and an Insulated wire attached to the headstall of the bridle, thence to the ring on the bit, and then back to the mule's tail. It gets action, HE WANTS TO POW WOW WITH THE HOP MEN Mr. Clemens Horst, one of the largest hop growers on the coast was in town today, and he is like his business, inasmuch as he is large and vigorous of physique. Mr. Horst's knowledge of the hop business in general is so thorough, and his style of discourse so clear that it is a treat for even the dsinterested to lis ten to him. He places vital Impor tance upon Oregon hop growers fur nishing exhibits to the American Ex position of Brewing at Chicago, Octo ber 12 to 22, and urges growers to get together in furnishing three or four arms of hops and at least a 10 pound dried sample. All exhibits will bear the grower's name and lo cation, so that in addition to further ing the coast hop industry, he will be advertising his own yard, and it is patent to the uninitiated that when brewers are convinced that our coast grown hops are superior to the Ger man or European hops, then and then only will they buy our hops exclu sively. It is well known to those who have made fair comparison that coast hops average better than the European, but in order to get the business, it is up to the grower to be in active sympathy with all efforts such as Mr. Horst proposes to strengthen the foundation for a bet ter permanent market. This year is a good one for the purposes of fur nishing hop exhibits from coast yards, for the quality is generally good, and of a certainty will com pare to advantage with European grown hops. Mr. T. A. Livesley talked with Mr. Horst and is inter ested to the pxtent that he will fur nish a man to go to the yards and secure or arrange for the samples. Mr. Horst will be in town this even ing and hopes to meet the locnl hop men, for a mutual benefit pow-wow. o VISITORS SAY OREGON ROADS ARE VERY BAD Mr. W. O- Wayman, of the firm of McXear and Wayman. of San Fran- Cisco, general agents for the Colon ial insurance company, was in saiem today. Mr. Wayman has been tour ing through California and Oregon together with his brother and their wives. He says it is a beautiful trip but that the roads after pressing the Oregon line were something terrific, due to the late rains. He said that too much emphasis could not be placed on the value of a good road through Oregon at the time of the Panina Exposition. The party left fn- Portend ndpv. From there they will ship their car to The Dalles and if weather conditions permit, will drive through eastern Oregon to Kla mth Falls, and from there home. Mr. Wayman Is using a SO-horse power Packard and says he has had no trouble whatever on the trip. o . So Joy In City Autos. r TKITRD I'BKH!" LI!A!ir(r WIRH 1 Portland. Or-, Sept. 18.

THE WESTMINISTER DANK BORGLARS Say It Means Business. Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 16. With the completion of eight- root stockades around both the Southern Pacific and Salt Lake shops here, labor leaders today profess confidence that the offl- clals of the Harrlman lines in- tend to force the Issue, and will within a few days, discharge ail ! union employes. Despite the fact that the rail- road officials claim that the stockades were not built In an- tlclpation of trouble, and should have been erected months ago, local labor leaders are unable to f account for the sudden activity of the railroads, and the rush with which the stockades were constructed, unless the compan- ies were planning some decisive move. THE PEOPLE GREATER THAN CAR COMPANIES Seattle, Wash.. Sept. 16. An other ceelbration of a people's vic tory over a street car company will be held In the Duwamish valley to night by the residents of that sec tion, who, for tyo years, have paid advance fares, but which have now been reduced by the supreme court to the old rates. Just a wee ago the residents of Rainier valley celebrated their vic tory, obtained by a supreme court de cision against the street car com pany which operates In that section. The two cases are almost Identical, and yet two separate traction com panies were concerned. In both cases the state supreme court decided in favor of the people, but it required a two-years' legal battle to win In the case of the Du wamish valley, and a four-years' struggle In the Rainier case. Duwamish and Rainier are Seat tle's two chief suburbB, and have an aggregate of about 50, 000 Inhabi tants. While the rate cases themselves are settled, two Important prosecu tions are still pending as a direct re suit.

HOLD GALL A CLASSIC CLARK A FAMOUS CRIMINAL IS RELEASED FROM PEN AND RANK IS LOOTER THAT IIIOHT Clark Is One of the Most Notorious Criminals of the North west and the Brains of the Miner and Clark Gang of Train Robbers Detectives Say Robbers Fled But Some of the Stolen Money Shows up in the Hands of Business Men in the City Today Reward of $5000 and 5 Per Cent of All Money Recovered Is Offered. (united pbess leased WIBI.l 1 New Westminster, B. C., Sept. 16. After more than 24 hours of cease less and persistent work by the local authorities, assisted by the Vancouv er detectives, the detectives of the Bank of Montreal, and the provin cial police forces of both this city and Vancouver, only little has been found to furnish a tnnglble clue to the Identity or whereabouts of the men who robbed the Bank of Mon treal here yesterday morning of more than a quarter of a million dollars in gold and bills. Whether the men made their get away by motor car, boat, or horse and buggy, and where they went, Is not known, though the officers are working along a dflenlte Hne nnd expect to land their quarry soon. The favorite theory of the man on the strept is that the robberB went, down the river by boat, or else to Vancouv er by motor car. The latter theory is somewhat strengthened by a re port that a motor car went through Burnaby, a suburb, at 6:40 yester day morning, and newly-made nnd clearly defined motor car tracks were found lending from Burnaby to Vancouver. The police are investi gating the matter. All the adjacent cities have been notified, and a close watch Is being maintained along the border. With the cordon so tightly drawn, it seems almost Impossible for the robbers to make their escape. The bank management, has offered a reward of $5000 for the jarrest of the robbers, and will also pay a per centage on all the money recovered. This probably will be five per cent. Clark Ts Suspected. One of the theories as to the Iden tity of the robbers that meets with favor Is that the notorious Robert ni..v former partner of the more notorious Bill Miner, hal a hand In the game, for Clark was released1 from the provincial penitentiary hore Thursday, and has not been seen since. Miner pulled off the first train robbery In the history of Cana da, when he held up n train near Whonnock some years ago. Miner and Clark pulled off the second train robbery in Cannda up near Kam loops. nnd were captured by the pro vincial police and sent to prison. Miner got life and Clark five years. Miner made his escape, held up a train In Ceorgln. and Is now serving n life sentence In the prison In the Southern state: Clark, who was said o be the brains of the Miner gang In the lust few von rs, was f'.irned loose Thursday from the pen hern, and the greatest i bank robbery that ever occurred on ; the North American continent occur- i i-w "" '" 1 To some It, would seem Impossible for a man to know nil about a bank the way the robbers did, If be had been out of prison for only a few boon.

The electric, battery with which the choree of nitroglycerine that wrecked the af door was fired, and the finer tools that the burglars un- ROBBERY doubtedly carried, they took with them. It was very evident that only one charge of explosive waa necessary to blow open the- door. Thla ia shown by the fact that the Job was a pret ty clean one. Had more than one charge been necessary It would have been a dangerous proposition for the burglars themselves, ami the coins would have been badly damaged and the bills blown all over the place and practically destroyed. Robbery was "a Classic." From the professional burglar's standpoint It was the neatest, clean est, best planned Job and the biggest cash haul ever pulled off In the West ern Hemisphere, and will go down In the annals of crime as a clasalo, and for years to come New Westminster will be known as the scene of the robbery of the century. Another point worthy of note Is the fact that In the two atttmepts at bank robbery recently made In Van couver, the only two banks In that town that had brick walls were at tacked. These were the Traders' Bank and tho Union Bank. It looks like more than a coincidence that the bank here with a brick vault, lined with a thin sheet of steel, should be the next victim selected. Perhaps It was a mere coincidence, or again the plans of the robbers might have been 'predicated upon that event, but the reason the Bank of Montreal had such a large amount of ready cash on hand, was that a shipment of $150,000 In new bills nnd Just been received from Montreal to pay out to the salmon fishermen, to the Frazler mills employes and to the hop pickers at Chilliwack and AgaBBlz. The police are doing the host they can, and the problem re solves Itself Into a battle of wits be tween the police and the cleverest gang of robbers that ever soaped a safo or scuttled a ship since the Bld dlo brothers robbed the Bnnk of Eng land. Another clue that may prove of value Is the fact that a large man arrived at a local hotel Thursday with what was presumably an empty suit case, It was so light. He did not even bother taking It up to his room that afternoon. On Friday he asked that It be put away In a safe place, and when he left the hotel this morn ing the suit ciibb was very heavy, though he was not seen to enter the hotel with any largo bundles.
