Two Pinkerton men have spent much time here and Clifford E. Wilson of the Bliss store has spent many hours in the aggregate in confefence vith them at night at police headquarters.

One of the first lines of investigation that was taken up immediately after the robbery was to question the members of | a carnival company that was in the city in the week of the robbery. According to | a statement by an officer, practically | levery member of the carnival company jwas up before the authorities for inves- tigation at one time or another, but it is not believed that any very fruitful infor- mation was gleaned from this line of in- uiry g Reports that a certain saloon bad been visited by the robbers several days before they made their daring scoop of the Bliss led 24 rk ch ay a- dy or re.
