Sheriff Wells, the man who set the trap that captured two more of the bandits on the Great Northern bridge at this town, at midnight, is intent on hunting down the last bandit today. His men, who have scoured the whole north country night and day for a week, are beginning to break under the strain. Their faces are haggard, their eyes sunken, yet they push onward relentlessly, in- tent on revenge. For in the fights that have occurred during the week between Sedro- Woolley and the other side of the Canadian boundary, an innocent boy and a man have been sacrificed.

Fortifications were thrown up at the north end of the bridge, @ deputy was stationed at the electric switch which would flash the light, Deputies Fred Roselle and Wilson Stuart were detailed to guard the “wagon bridge, which parallels the raliroad bridge, and lookouts were stationed at their posts. |Bandits Are Blinded by Light At midnight Stuart, on the other bridge, heard men approaching road bridge on tip-toe. Hands up!” he yelled, It was the signal agreed upon for the man at the switch, Instantly the bridge was ablaze with light.
