HUNTER BROS. LTD. :

SEVENTEENTH EDITION

hunting latecomer was only just within shotgun range and the doctor was later able to pick the pellets out of Fenton’s head with a pair of long tweezers. His was the only citizen’s blood spilled lina day.

Within a short time the local doctor was on the scene and had ordered the injured bandits conveyed to the hospital. There it was determined that the bandit who had fallen near the bank and had crawled into the shack was gravely wounded in the hip. The wounds of the other two were less serious and the man with the injured ankle was held under guard.

While the examination was proceeding and the doctor was dressing the wounds, the Provincial police officers had re- turned hurriedly to town, speeded by reports of the battle that they had missed. Chief Gammon immediately organized the armed citizens into a patrol to guard the town in case there were others of the gang who had escaped or who had been waiting in the woods and might return to extract revenge for the shooting of their comrades.

During the course of further investi- gations of the actions of those bandits who successfully made the shelter of the wooded area, a trail of blood was dis- covered leading away from town. It was followed to a shack by the railroad where a bloodstained coat was found. In the pocket was $21.00 in mutilated currency.

By the following day, the town had quietened down to the point where a clear count could be made of the affair. On the debit side, the bank had lost $1050 in bills and gold coin, and mutilated bills with a face value of $250.

On the credit side was the following:

Mischa Merzakoff—dead.

Obysel Borsaeff—dead.

Wano Dzntzoff—critically wounded.

Boris Mannakoff—wounded.

Adeku Smajloff—wounded.

Zarachmet Kalaeff—in jail with sprained ankle.

Still unaccounted for was one wounded bandit, name unknown. The following

day, Dzntzoff died.

Case Fortows UsuaL Routine ENDING IN STIFF SENTENCES

On April 8, the day following the rob- bery, Chief Const. Walter Owen had arrived from Prince Rupert bringing with him an interpreter.

From Mannakoff, the Provincial Police, through the interpreter, obtained what gave evidence of being a full and reliable report of the activities of the gang lead- ing up to the time of the holdup.

The gang had been organized for the job by another Russian, a ‘recognized bad- man and professional robber in his native country, but who had returned there he- fore the robbery was undertaken.

The wounded man in his statement identified the seventh, and missing, mem-
