TWO MEDICAL LAKE
BANDITS GET *18,000
SPOKANE, Wash., Aug. 10.—Two
masked men entered the First Na
tional Bank of Medical Lake, sixteen
miles west of here, shortly after noon
today, held up two men in the ban*
at the point of revolvers and later
made their escape after scooping
$13,000 in coin and currency into
sacks and driving away in an automo
bile.
The robbers drove up to the bank
in a roadster, according to reports,
arriving at a time when most of the
employes were at lunch. One man
approached Fred Krichoffer, assist
ant cashier, with the request that he
cash a traveler's check.
The other robber entered the cage,
revolver drawn, and compelled Ar
"Ihur Nettle, a clerk, the only other
employe in the bank, to lie down on
the floor. As soon as Neale obeyed,
Krichoffer was compelled to do like
wise.
The men then leisurely scooped
the bank's coins and currency into
a sack. They locked the bank em
ployes in the vault before leaving the
bank, where they were found by oth
er officials later. The men departed
in tjie roadster and were reported to
have started east. The Spokane
country sheriff wa6 notified and he in
turn has telephoned to every town
in Eastern Washington to be on the
lookout for the robbers.
It was thought that the men might
be heading for Idaho, but it would
be almost impossible to escape the
cordon that has been placed around
the territory, it Is said, and reach
that state.
ARMC HAIR ARCHITECTS
GET LAUGH IN HONOLULU
HONOLULU, T. H., Aug. 10.—All
Hawaii is laughing at the expense of
the architect’s bureau at Washing
ton which provided steam heat con
nections for the United States build
ing, whcih waB recently dedicated to
the town of Hilo, Island of Hawaii,
thirty-two miles distant from the ac
tive volcano of Kiluaea. Not until
the building was completed did Hilo
ites discover that steam heat connec
tions were made from the basement
into all the rooms, and they con
sider this another example of the lack
of knowledge which Washington of
ficials have of Uncle Sam's youngest
territory, particularly concerning cli
mate, for in Hawaii practically every
month is the month of May or June
and there is no winter season at all.
Steam heat has never been used in
the islands. Stoves are a rarity ex
cept for kitchen service. Years ago
a Washington architect, in preparing
plans for a certain public building in
Hawaii, gave it hip roofs, being de
signed to shed snow.

DISTURBERS HELD IN
MICHIGAN TROUBLE
« I * t •
BESSEMER, Mich., Aug. 10.—Jos
Spera, local secretary of the Iron
mine strikers, was arrested today
with two others in conection with the
Oogebic iron range dlstrubances.
With three more arrests at Ironwood
today, sixteen men are now held,
while authorities are investigating to
see whether or not they were regis
tered for the draft.
William Strang, an I. W. W., or
ganizer, is being sought by the police.
The strikers did not attempt picket
ing today but men who reported for
work at several mines said intimida
tion had been atempted during the
night and threats made.
Sheriff Kellett said he believed
that the backbone of the strike had
been broken and that there would be
little more trouble.

BOY FROM ATLIN HEARS
REAL BAND FOR FIRST TIME
Mr. Guillett, a young French-Ca
nadian, who has lived in the north
for thirty-six years, has just arrived
in the city and has joined the over
seas draft of the 6th D. C. O. R..
says the Vancouver World. He had
a silver fox ranch at Atlin and op
erated a mail service a distance of
eighty-six miles. Pte. Guillett had
never heard a band play until he ar
rived in the city with four compan
ions this week. The effect upon him
was such that he was almost imme
diately moved to tears.
The young French Canadian speaks
fourteen different Indian dialects,
in addition to English, French and
German. His father fought with the
French in the Franci-Prussian war
of 1870. Accustomed to outdoor life
and winters where the mercury drops
as low as 86 degrees below zero, Pte.
Guillett feels the heat which has ob
tained in Vancouver during the past
few days. He always acts as guide
for the periodical trips of the R. N.
W. M. P. to Herschell island.
Maude Harding died at the Cor
dova General Hospital yesterday af
ternoon at 5:40 o'clock from burns

into which coal oil had been poured.
Deceased was 38 years of age.
