PAY-DAY RAID.
OUTRAGE IN CANADA. GUNMEN OBTAIN £8000. OTTAWA, December 26. Sis men drove up in a motor car to the front of the bank in the mining town of Nanaimo on pay day at tho collieries.. Wnile two of them guarded the entrance, four others collected £8000, and escaped across the American border. During the robbery the manager was imprisoned in the vault, the leader of the robbers threatening him in characteristically strong language. A sample of the language was communicated to Detective Tennant, of Seattle, who remarked: "I know who that is. He is Rose Watson, a former Seattle policeman." Later Watson and three other men were arrested and identified by the bank officials. A portion of the booty has been recovered. — (A. and N.Z. Cable.)
