C., says: The alleged perpetrators of the daring hold-up at Coal Creek a few days ago, when Messrs. Quin- ney and Burns, of the Trites Wood (Company, were relieved of some 'gr, 200 in cash and several hundred dollars' worth of cheques and time | receipts in the shadow of the jail at the point of revolvers, were clev- erly captured here on Thursday night by Acting Chief Bowen and _ Constable Gorman, of the Fernie police force. Nath Babcock, a pro- spector and claim- staker, was the first one arrested. He was stopping at the Fernie Hotel and the police took him into custody at 11 o'clock on Thursday night. Then proceed- ing to the residence of J. Bolan- ger, in the annex, they took Bol- anger, and a search of the house resulted in the finding of two $50 bills. It is believed that Bolanger has made some damaging confes- sions to the chief. At any rate a brother of Bolanger, a conductor running out of Cranbrook, has been arrested by instructions from Chief Bowen, and arrived in Fernie on the evening train. J. Bolanger has been working on the M.F. and M. train as brakesman, running be- twoen Fernie and Coal Creek. He is married and has two children. A reward of $500 was offered for the arrest of the parties. Pr. R. GRAIN ROUTE. New Line From Bathurst to Victor- ia Harbor.
