BIG BANK ROBBERY =

Stolen Bank of Montreal Notes
Circulate—Police on Track

(Canadian Press Despatch)

Vancouver, Sept. 18.—Though
the police say there is no definite
clue to the men who got away
after robbing the Bank of Montreal
of $258,000, more of the bills on
list sent out by the bank have
been passed in Vancouver. Four
tens were paid into the Merchants
Bank on Saturday night by the
accountant of the Independent
Liquor Company who states that
he got them from a man who
works on Fraser River. Detectives
are following up this clue.

Next morning while at break-
fast, Mr. Cowper’s room - was

papers and campaign material. A
search was made without avail.
Mr. Cowper remarked that it was
probably an evidence of the keen
deisre at Kitsumkalum for exact
information about reciprocity,

settlers are accustomed to leave
their doors unlocked, the incident
