representatives and the - local
staifs, gathered around ’ the -fes-
tive board in the handsome ban-

quet-hall of: the Northern Hotel.

Full justice ‘was done to the

delicacies. on the. tables - after

which Mr. Vibert, amid entlius-
iastic applause, arose from the
seat of honor and addressed. ‘the
citizens as follows:—

“Gentlemen: We are here this
evening as representatives of the
Union Bank of Canada to express

on behalf of the directors. our

thanks for the prompt assistance
rendered by you on the 7th of
April, when for the second time

our local branch was entered by;
_ robbers,

Most of you remember
the 9th of November last when
the first robbery nearly cost: Mr.
McQueen his lite. On that oe-
casion the robbers got away with
a considerable sum. of, money,
and we feel certain that the rob-

_bers in this last affair were also

concerned in the first... It is]
therefore a matter of consider-
able rejoicing that this organized
band has been so successfully
broken up—due to the_ prompt
and efficient service rendered by
the citizens of New Hazelton.
“I now wish to read you at
length a letter from our.general
manager, which he requested to
have read at this function. |

quickly rallied ‘to the’ ‘assistance

As so many: were concerned, it
was rather diffieult to determine
the form such. recognition should
take, but we finally decided to
request their attendance at a
banquet, and you will please
make the necessary ‘arrange-
ments. ——

We also think it fitting that the

the occasion by some of its senior
officers, and you are, therefore,
requested to attend with H. H.

ager at Prince Rupert. .

this robbery, that we hope the

as indeed, were it not for the
help of our good friends there,
there is no doubt that all the rob-
bers would have escaped.
