Sheridan, Oct. 26.

Speaking of his experience Mayor Eakin "I was aroused from a heavy sleep by a Jar which I could not'eo'mprehend at first, but when' I looked out of my window arid saw the man standing near the bank and the light shining from there, realized at once what had happened. It was necessary for me to open two doors before I could get out and by the time I did so the1 men were in the rig. The fog was too thick for me to be Msitive; as to how many men there were, hut I believe there were three. As soon as I was positive what they had been doing I fired a shot at them from my rifle, but their rig was just a blur through the fog. From the noiseless manner in which the rig drove off I am of the.

opinion that the vehicle was rubber but I am not sure about this As the men disapeared along the road -towards Salem and Independence I fired two more shote to arouse the A number of citizens quickly responded, but the men were They did. not reply to my shots, but got away as quickly as possible." Did They Come From Salem is the general opinion thatthe robr bers were the same men who attempted to get the contents, of the Newberg bank at about the same hour'Iast Monday. 'The work is practically the same with the exception that In thecase here this morning one explosion was sufficient to secure the money. while at Newberg nine charges were put oft without anything being secured. A suspicion is current here that the men have, been' posing as respectable sightseers with headquarters In Salem, as they drove off In that direction.

The distance to the capital can be covered in a comparatively snort time, as the road leading there is one of the oest in the state. Every bridge and byroad along that route is being watched with the hope that the robbers may be Iner cepted. The Portland police nave been requested to be on the lookout for the may strike the railroad and endeavor to get Into that city. BOTH BUGGIES WERE SMASHED A Serious Runaway At West Approach of Steel Bridge CRASHED INTO AND OVERTURNED A BUGGY WITH THREE OCCUPANTS JVHO ESCAPED UNINJUREDA narrow; escape for THREE SUEPARD CHILDREN. Sunday afternoon a serious runaway occured In.

West Salem, which came near costing three i precious young llvim. but luckily resulted In only two rigs being demolished, and the children somewhat bruised but not aeriously Injured. Wm. Itlchter was out driving with a livery rig, two spirited horses and a carriage. At about 3 o'clock he stopped In West Salem to pay a frfcmA a short visit, and tied his horses to the fence.

It Is claimed that a man came along whipping his horse, and the team, becoming frightened, broke away and started for Salem on a run. Alice, Robbie and Fred Shepard, of Zena, were coming to town where the two former children are attending school, and Freddie was to drive the horse and buggy home. The animal they were driving was -very tame and else; the tale would have been far different. As the children turned the corner at Dave Matheny's, house, coming toward the bridge, they saw the runaway team approaching, and started to drive over to the fence near the house, end let the runaways pass. It eeema the loose horses also desired to avoid trouble, and endeavored to pass to the left, between the buggy and fence, but there was not sufficient room, and the carriage locked wheels with the tuggy.

As the horses were going at a fearful rate, both rigs were overturned, with the children underneath the wreckage. The livery horses managed to break away from the carriage, and ran a short distance across the bridge; where they were stopped by coming in the opposite direction. Shepard's trusty horse ceased his struggling as sooh as the strange horses left, and Mr. Mathenr, wno saw the catastrophe, rushed out and rescued the children from the wreckage of wJiat was a few minutes previous, carriage anT buggy. The children were frlgntened, and somewhat scratched and but "were otherwise uninjured.

The escape was almost miraculous' as! it and had the single horse become frightened and rait away also, the occupants cculd hardly have escaped."

The occasion for the statement was; certain letters published by a morning newspaper purporting to show that Dowie had cast off his own.father. Years ago, Dowie said, he had a painful revelation made to him that John Murray Dowie.

to whom toe letters were written, was not his father. He said the elder Dowie handed him certain documents on which he would speak Dowie declared, that 5i was glad the matter was out as the letters had been in the hands of certain persons for years.
