police, and gave a very good description
of the two men who had held him up,
and then held him in captivity for a
twenty mile ride. While the search for the
pair went on in Nelson, The Trail City

Police telephoned and reported another

hold-up in their city that morning. It
appeared that a second-hand store pro-
prietor had been attacked by two young
men in his store. They had tied and
gagged him, then rifled his cash and stole
four watches and a camera.

The search continued, and during the
afternoon two men answering the des-
cription of the wanted couple, were seen
close to the railway yards. As the officers
sought to close in on them they van-
ished among the cars and were soon
lost to sight. For five hours the search
was continued without relaxation by both
city and Provincial Police.

Around 7 p.m., Guard R. Thompson
of the Provincial gaol at Nelson received
a telephone call that two suspicious men
had sought lodging at an auto camp east
of the city and on the north shore. Not
being able to secure accommodation, they
had gone east on foot. At the time the
call came in, Chief Const. Bone of the
City Police happened to be at the gaol.
He at once picked up Const. Fisher of
the Nelson Police, and advised the first
Provincial constables he could contact.
In the Highway Patrol car, Constables
Elphick and Ruggles, with Chief Bone
and his constable in the City Police car,
crossed on the 7.30 p.m. ferry to the north
shore of the Kootenay River, then con-
tinued east for about six miles along the
road to Fraser’s Landing.

Suddenly in the glare of the lead car’s
headlights, two figures appeared trudging
along the highway. Instead of stopping
behind the two men, the highway patrol
car passed them and stopped, blocking
their further progress. The second car
then stopped and held the men in the
headlight’s beam. Converging on the pair
from front and rear, the four officers
closed in. Chief Bone then reached out
and removed a .45 calibre Colt Automatic
pistol from the inner pocket of one of
the pair, while the constables continuing
the search found each man in possession
of a sheath knife. Both men answered
the description given by the taxi driver.
Under close guard, the prisoners who
had been arrested and charged on the
spot with the crime of robbery with
violence, were taken to Nelson gaol and
turned over to the guard.
