ABOUT sLooPs.

An evening contemporary willfully displays
its ignorance of nautical matters by tackling
our reporter for saying that one of the masts
of sloop was blown away. Any well educated
land-lubber ought to know that sloop has two
masts. one which actually carries the sail and
another laid up for emergencies In the hold.
Il was the acting mast. If we may use the ex-
preston. which was blown down on that sloop.
and we regret that our confrere should force
us by Its display of bourgeois criticism, to make
this really unnecessary explanation.

The town was thrown into quite a
fever of excitement upon the discovery
that during the preceding night the
store of Schwabecher & Co., on Main

LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY STOLEN.
The robbers who were probably ex-
pert hands at the business, entered the
premises from the. alley at the rear of
the building, and removed a
few bricks of the nine inch and half
wall, which enabled them to lift
the bar of the front door, and thus
gain entrance into the store room. In
the rear of which the, safe is kept
They came m V#nRsg Egf Ee

having two large and peculiarly shaped
crowbars or jimmies, and a large
patent drill, which implemenents they
left near the safe when their work was
over. Before going to work they took
some fine overcoats, from the counter
and spread them around on the floor to
lessen the noise. They then proceeded
to drill holes through the outer floor of
the safe, opposite the bolts of the main
lock, enlarged the holes with their
pointed erowbars, breaking and forcing
back the bolts and
OPENING THE DOOR OF THE SAFE,
This process they repeated on the in
ner door, and thus gained access to the
contents of the MAIN body of the
safe. There was still an interior iron
department which they commenced to
open, when they were probably inter-
rupted by some noise in the adjoining
building. There was in the safe between
S25, 900 and $50, 900, but of this
THE RoBBEgs GOT ONLY $3,5O0.
OF this amount something like 81 600
belong to the Idaho Park Association;
81 200 was the result of pools at We'd
neslay's races, and about 5000 paid for
tickets the day before. Various other
SUMS belonging to different parties were
taken, among which was $780, be-
longing to the City Treasury. INthe
opened part of the safe there was a
brown paper package, belonging to Aus
tin Savage, eotaning the snug little
sum of $4,000. This and about S., 900
belonging to other parties, all of which
was in the exposed part of the safe, the
