boosters. In some instances agreements
exist whereby the dealers are reimbursed
the exact amount they paid for lots which
the victimized company wishes to recover.

Shoplifters are not, however, the store
detective’s only worry. There are numerous
other malpractices he must watch for, such
as dishonest employees, a contagion that can
spread rapidly through a store. The pre-
vention of crime in the store and the appre-
hension of all kinds of crooks are the store
detective’s duties. He protects the public
as well as his employer.

A capable store detective never discusses
his work with anyone. He patiently scans
the parade that passes before hm, a never-
ending procession of cheque artists, drug
addicts, prostitutes, panderer3, purse snatch-
ers and pick-pockets.

Bandit Robs Bank
At Pioneer of $3600

FRIDAY, MAY 29th, will be a memorable
day in the annals of the Bridge River valley.
At 10.00 a.m. a man walked into the Bank
of Toronto at Pioneer and asked the man-
ager if he could have a few moments of his
time on some personal business. Invited
into the office he produced a pistol and pro-
ceeded to tie up and gag that official. That
completed he then secured the teller in a
similar manner and looted the place thor-
oughly. Within a few minutes he had de-
camped with approximately $3600. The
local police, under Sergeant Jarvis, were

quickly on the job, and members of the local
Special Reserve were called on to aid in
the hunt for the robber. Within a very short
time every exit from the district was under
guard and parties were scouring the moun-
tains, trails and old mining camps for trace
of the fugitive. It was not until the Sunday
morning that a patrol crossing the summit of
the McGillivray Pass struck the trail of the
hunted man. He had doubled back and
forth in an effort to confuse pursuit, but it
was soon evident that he was headed for the
Blackwater country and the P. G. E. The
party then made its way to McGillivray
Falls as quickly as possible to put all
watchers on the alert. Shortly after their
arrival at this point a report was received
that a man believed to be the bandit had
been sezn on the tracks at Creekside. A
party of two Provincial constables and two
members of the Special Reserve immediately
took up the chase and the accused was
arrested at about 10 p.m. in a house on
the Indian reservation at Creekside. Delli-
chano, a former employee of Pioneer Mines,
surrendered without resistance and was
brought back to Bralorne for a preliminary
hearing. Practically all the money taken
from the bank was recovered when the arrest
was made. Just another perfect crime that
had a flaw in its execution.
