BOLD ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY. learn
ed yesterday from Mr.. Pearsall, of the
California Market, next door below our
office, OF bold attempt at robbery the
night before. In rear of the market is a
room occupied by three men connected
Herewith as sleeping apartment. Not
apprehensive of any danger, the occu-
pants had not taken the precaution to
lock the door. Whether this fact was
known to outsiders we are unable to saw:
at any rate the burglar or burglars gained
an entrance and ransacked the premises,
and took allthe keys found in the pockets
OF the inmates, in the hope of gaining
entrance to the drawer where the money
was supposed to be kept. Strange to re-
late, none OF the sleepers were awakened
by the unusual noise which must have
been made during the search, and oil
three OF them slept an hour or two later
than usual yesterday morning. This
leads to the belief that the adroit rascals
made uss OF chloroform or some other
drug, with which to Supply their intend
ed victims. The only plumber they sue
ceeded In getting away with, was pocket
book containing gold ring "a keepsake
OF little intrinsic value) and ticket (Ne.
i5, 1922 in the Nevada State Lottery.
The agent of tho lottery here has been no.
titled of the ticket having been stolen
| and the public will bear in mind that
they cannot draw prize Oh that ticket.
1t was fortunate thing that there was
bu' trifing sum OF money about the
place. as it would likely have been stolen.
This bold attempt shows that there are
in our midst bold and expert burglars, as
well as petty thieves, graduated highway
men. sneaking incendiaries. and red
handed murderers. Therefore, the good
people of Phoebe owe il to themselves
to be watchful; officers should also be
visilant, and the Courts prompt in ad.
ministering the law. II any incendiary,
murderer or burglar falls into the hands
OF the populace. We will not be response
bic for the consequences. A "necktie
party, in which an outraged people pay
homage to some desperate, may yet add
q chapter in the history of Phoebe.
