MORE SAFE BLowING. This time
it is at Highland. We are reliably
Informed that on last Thursday night
the safe in I'd. Kennedy's store at
Highland was blown open. The
safe, which is arge one, is fire
proof with hurglar-proof chest IN
side. The cracksmen bored the fire.
proof door, inserted powder and by
this tho door was blown off In II
drawer outside the burgIar-proof
chest the burglars found slU2, which
they pocketed They then tried to
bore The chest, but ,the.r drills
couldn't stand il; SO the malicious
scamps with a heavy sledge-hammer,
which they had taken from an ad-
joining blacksmith shop, broke off
both the opening and lock knob 4,
and eft for parts mknow1. Mr.
X safe now stands open; the outer
door is wreck, and the little money
there is in the burglarproof chest
he can't get, because the lock-knob
is broken off. Two men, supposed
to be the guilty parties, were driven
from the German school house at 10
o'clock that night, where they had
built fire; from there they went to
the public schuol-house (as was dis
covered the next moroing) and built
a fire, where they probably remained
until Mr. Kennedy's store was closed
and the village had gone to rest.
Mr.. KS brother and a clerk slept
in room over the store, but wsre
not aroused by the operations Of
the burglars, owing probably, to
their being very tired; they had
been up quite late the two previous
nights marking and shelving goods
Just received. Hanging is none too
good for men who are SO malicious
as these burglars have proved them
selves to be, thwarted, they destroy
valuable property. Hang all such.

a peculiar nature prevented their union,
and, after the first pangso of disappointed

brokers' pocket were accurately descrlb-
ed by the man who protested to have
been robbed. OF course there was moth
ing to do but take the party to police
Headquarters, but OH the way the man
who had given the alarm and the one
who had "seen" the theft committed,
made many excuses and finally slip,
ped away. The broker was recognized
at headquarters and it was plain enough
that he had been spotted by professional
thieves, who had hoped the policeman
would divide the spoils with them and
let the matter drop. This is one way OF
getting money for Christmas presents.
