opened between Wednesday evening and
Thursday morning, and rified of its con.
tents. The thief got away with Mr.
Randall's pocket book, containing SAC

nearly $500 more in the safe, untouched
1t is supposed he became alarmed before
completing his job. 1t is not known how
he gained entrance. Another singular
circumstance is, the safe was not broken
open but unlocked, although it has a
combination lock.

The dead beats are numerous and

night. He was well dressed, but claim
ed to have no money, had lost by the
Chicago fire, DC, though he had plump
looking valise. After me talk, Mr..
Eddy directed Mr.. Lowell to keep him
over night. Next morning Mr.. Eddy
was on hand early for his customer, whom
he informed must exhibit the contents of
his valise. The man demurred till Eddy
took out his jack knife and gave him
three minutes to open the bag or he
would do it for him. The bag was then
opened and contained neck ties, hand
kerchiefs and other nice dry goods, very
likely stolen somewhere Mr.. Eddy d.
rected Mr.. Lowell to take full pay for
his lodgings, when To- the man again
demurred and paid his own bill from
cash drawn from his own pocket Mr..
Eddy them gave him directions to leave
instanter, and to constantly increase the
distance between himself and this town.
So much for one dead beat.
