The One Man Free Probably Has the
$1,100 Stolen from the Bank An
. Eighth Man Seen with the Bandits
Held as a Suspect.
NEW HAZELTOX, B. C, April 9
Every citizcu capable of bearing a
liile was out yestettlay searching for
i lie last man of the bandit cans' which
raided the. branch of the Union Bank of
Canada Tuesday. Six men have been
captured or killed. The one still free
and who may have the $1,100 taken
from the bank, is believed to be wound
ed and his capture is expected. An
eighth man has been arrested as a sus
pect as he was seen with the gang
Tuesday.
Manager Tatchell of the bank said
that he saw the desperadoes enter the
bank and when lie heard their first
shots lie summoned a dozen men who
got their rifles into play in quick time.
There was a pile of ore heaped breast
high on Pugley street not 50 yards from
the bank and behind this the posses
gathered, lhey opened hre as the rob
berg i emerged from the front door of
the bank. Three of the robbers fell
before they ranched shelter. Two more
were wounded, but reached the summit
of the first little hill at the edge of
the town before they fell. They were
picked up a few moments later by the
citizens.
Two of the iirst men to fall were
killed almost instantlv. Three others
are in the hospital, while one who was
captured in the woods late Tuesday is
in jail. One of the men in the hospital
was shot through the stomach and can
not recover. Another's hip was badly
torn and a third had his arms so ghat
tered by bullets that he may lose both.
It is estimated that 1,.j00 shots were
exchanged, and nearlv all the ammuni
tion in the town was exhausted.

president; vice president, R. W. Blood;
secretary, Dr. F. 1. Osgood; treasurer,
W. M. Sparks; manager, Bernie K.
Phillips; assistant manager, II. M.
Sparks. It was voted to buy new suits,
which have since been ordered. Thfe
president and secretary were instructed
to arrange an entertaiument for the
benlit of the team. Thoy now have
their posters out for an entertainment
to be held in the town hall on Tuesday
evening, April 14. when they propose
to present the best local talent repre
senting vocal and instrumental nuisie
and speaking, to be followed by a
dance. It is to be hoped that the well
earned reputation for clean and suappy
ball playing of years gone by will be
sustained this year. While there will
be souse losses by removals, and by
some of the older players dropping out,
it is thought that there are enough
young men just breaking into the game
to make a Iirst class amateur team.

CHALLENGE FROM
WILFEED F. ROOT
Wilfred F. Itoot is seeking the worst
case of dyspepsia or constipation in
Brattleboro or vicinity to test Dr.
Howard's new remedy for the, cure of
those diseases.
So confident is he that this remark
able medicine will effect a lasting cure
in a short time, that he offers to refund
the money should it, not be successful.
In order to secure the quickest pos
sible introduction, Mr. Root vHTF' sell
a regular 50-cent package of thismed
iciue at half price, 23 cents.
This remedy of Dr. Howard's will
cure sick headache, dizzy feelings, con
stipation, dyspepsia and ail forms of
malaria aud liver trouble. It does not
simply give relief for a time; it makes
permanent and complete cures.
It will regulate the bowels, tone up
the whole intestinal tract, give you an
appetite, make food taste good and di
gest well and increase vigor. Joy and
happiness will taie the place of that
"don't care whether I live or die"
feeling.
