LOOTERS TRACED OUT OF CITY The liquor, in sacks, cases, and loose bottles, was loaded into the covered truck. This operation, it is declared, must have taken at least half to three-quarters of an The outer door of the build ing was then closed and the looters drove the short block west to Rail road ave. and then south on Rail- toad ave. and out of town. The theft was discovered when T. K. Drake, bookkeeper for the American Werehouse Co, came to work Tuesday morning. He not fied the federal prohibition office, and Roy C. Lyle, director, started an investigation “under cover.” Word of the robbery was not re leased until iate Tuesday. One of the most baffling angles of the affair is how the liquor could have been taken away without the patrolman on the beat being aware of the presence of the truck PATROLMAN BUSY EXPLAINING TO CHIEF Police records show that Officer C. H. Parker rang in from his pa- trol box each hour during the time he was on the beat. This box is located less than a block away from the storage buliding, and in plain sight, for the street i» well lighted, of the door where the liquor thieves had their truck standing while the raid was on.

Once or twice he look ed in the room where Fred was lying, and once he tightened up the ropes that bound the boy’s hands behind his back “He kept saying, ‘as sure as God made little green apples,’ the boy ex plained afterwards, “and it surely got on my nerves.” After five minutes of waiting, Han. lin waiked in, and after tidying up his desk, strolled over to the wash- room. The bandit stepped out and thrust the gun against the cashier's ribs. ‘Open that vault, 4— yout’ he snarled, and again made reference to the little green apples. The cashier let him into the vault given over to safe deposit boxes With an oath, the bandit told him to lead the way to the main vault, where the cash was kept CASHIER.FORCED TO OPEN COMBINATION The entrance to this vault was in the main part of the bank and in full view of the street. Keeping his gun pressed against Hanlin'’s back, the holdup man forced him to open the outer combination. If any passerby had,glanced in the window he could not have helped see ing the two at the vault door, Inside the big vault, the bandit forced the cashier to take off the combination of a small safe with a screw driver. Stuffing the bills in his pocket, he walked out, locking the vault-doors behind him. His loot was all in $10, $20 and $60 bills. He removed his overalls in the room where young Haug was lying, crammed his handkerchief in his pocket and escaped by a rear win- dow, Hanlin succeeded in opening the vault by interior mechanism, and hearing the atified cries of the boy, releaned him. “Gee whiz," said Fred, “it spoiled my breakfast something awful.” PARADISE INN, Rainier National Park, Aug, 31.—The higher the bet- | the opitiion of Miss Lenore Allain, of | Auburn, who has elected to be mar- Without @ doubt, she has heard made jn héaven, and wants to start er heaven than any other place in the state of Washington, Edward J, Hamilton, of Buckley, ts the lucky Man.
