TIM STRIKES DOWN
WELLS-FAROO AGENT
HERBERT F. IM Bill ff MS ISM
IB ESOPES WITH EXPRESS FUNDS
Struckdown by thw hand of a
thug shortly after five o'clock last
night. Herbert F. Taylor now lies
in the White Pass hospital waver
ing bet wen sensibility and uncon
sciousness and inherently tells of
the attempt made on his life and
the robberv of the safe of the Wells
Fargo express company. Until hw
recovers sufficiently from the ef
fects of the blow which rendered
hint unconscious it will be Impos
sible to get a connected story of
the crime which may bring to jus
lice the perpetrator.
The details of the assault are
meager. Mr. Taylor was making
up his cash and arranging express
^ilpments for the Spokane last
*ve.ing about five o'clock It ?.?
. it rs mat he had locked the from
door, as there was considerable gold
In boxes and pokes for shipment
He evidently intended to add coal
to the fire, and opening the stove
door took up a coal hod and went
to the rear room; there was no light
in the room and as he bent over
the coal box he was struck in the
back of the head by a robber who
had evidently concealed himself In n
closet which had been used for stor
age purpoaes. After the assault
the thug went to the safe~and ab
stracted a package containing checks
diafts and currency variously etl
niatcd to represent a value of from
on? to two thousand dollars, the
exact amount will not be known un
til the books are hecke'l. Then h.">
disappeared leaving no trace.
Shortly after the occurence IS. J
IK>ugherty and Geo. Ftckhardt, went
Into the baggage room, which ad
joins Mr. Taylor's office, for the
purpose of examining some baggage.
vVhlle there they heard a groan and
istenlng .?non heard groans re
veated. They became alarmed and
A! Flckhardt unlockdc the gate
, ..aj caned Mr. Dougnerty to come
vith htm He stepped In and ound
Taylor lying on the floor near the
coal box unconseions. Mr. IH>ugta
<rty immediately responded to the
call and together they closed the
safe nad gave the alarm. Dr.
Gable was summoned and a number
of citizens came to render assistance
The wouuded man was carried to a
i ???1 in the rear room of the office,
nil afterward taken to the boaptt-l
~1 where lie now remains conscious!
only pari of the time
liar I UK an Interval of coiwclous
hi- m itetl lhai he was talking .
o l> II llukill prior to the assault,
I'ui does not remember whether It
a .is In the office or on the street |
Sir. llukill had some trouble dur
Vig t h?> day which took him Into;
court, and the officer* thought It
idvisable to detain him pending an ,
investigation and he will be held
until Mondtjr for an examination
,1.4 to his whereabouts when the
crime waa committed.
Geo. J. Rusch, traveling auditor
of the Wells-Fargo company arrlv
last night shortly after the crime
.is committed, and has since been
. herktng up the hooks of the com
pam Me informs the Dally Alas- i
kan that he does not believe that
here will l>c much loss, as the
package taken contained mostly
1 1 01 i negotiable papers and but very
'ittle currency.
tu the hope of finding the rob
|l>er, both the Spokane and the Jef
ferson wore detained Inst n(?h? un
til the passenger* could lx> searched,
but nothing could !>?? found to con
nect them with the crime
It In believed that Mr Taylor
whs struck with n l:t '?/ hatchet, or
lironil a*, which wn* found nenr
Mm and v hirh had he<*n used for
cutting kindling A d<-n? In his hat
correspond* to the shape of the f *re
of the wei.pon There was ? lane*
contusion on the renr and left aide
of hla head but the akin was not
broken and no blood flowed.
There la nothing to Indicate that
anyone la connected with the crl?e
r.nd the detention of Mr Hukill
may be followed by the detention of
other* until the solution of the
dastardly crime ha* been obtained
Mayor Tanner wired the officer*
of the express company and advised
them to have their detective* meet
the boats as far north as possible
Mr. Taylor in all probability will
recover from hla assault within a
few days and when his miod :s
dear he m iy be able to throw some
light on the matter
