Robbers Frightened by Paper Weight.

From the Chicago Trtbune.l
The private banking house of Townsend
North i Son, at Yassar, village in Tuscola
county, Mich, was successfully raided by
burglars early on Thursday morning, May
10th Frank Fales, attorney, occupies the
floor over tho bank as an Office and sleeping
room, and retired shortly before midnight.
Four strangers had been observed by one
two people during the evening in pairs on
the street. and two of them were noticed not
far from the bank about II o'clock by the
man who extinguishes the street lamps.
Some time after Fales retired he was aroused
by a heavy rumbling sound, as of an explo-
sion, and at once OWNED that something was
wrong with the bank. His suspicious being
q moment later confirmed by the fumes OF
burnt gunpowder coming up through the
floor, he at once took steps to raise an alarm
Stepping to the front window of his once,
he was able to discover, through the pItchy
darkness and falling rain, the dim outlines OF
mans figure pacing slowly Dack ana IorLn
on the opposite side of the street. In the
meantime Mr. Fales had awakened his broth
or, who was sleeping with him, and the two
determined to descend the stairs quickly and
summon assistance. Cautiously opening the
Office door they peered into the darkness of
the stairway and discovered two men evident
" stationed there as guards. Returning to
the Office, Fales seized glass paper weight
rushed TO the rear window of his sleeping
room, raised the window, and hurled the
weight across the alley and through win
dow of the Jewell House, at the same time
giving the alarm. The burglars fled, leaving
a portion of their tools on the ground.
An investigation showed that they had ef-
fected an entrance by prying the front door
open with a. Jimmy" and cracked the vault
by drilling through the door, inserting punch
es in the holes and forcing of the combina-
ton. The burglar proof cash safe, secured
by a time lock, was blown up by charge of
powder, and the lower section of the strong
box, containing the specie. was forced in the
same way. Three thousand dollars in gold
and eleven hundred dollars in silver were
taken ont. Two bags containing six hun
dred dollars in silver were subsequently,
found in an old well some distance from the
bank. The front of the box containing the
currency of the bank had been partially ppied
off, and few moments work would have
completed the job. This box contained sew
en- thousand dollars, which was not disturbed,

The Providence journal has done a good
thing in causing the arrest and prosecution
of man who sent to it false notice of a mar
riage. Some malicious or funny people
think that to get false notice of marriage
or death inserted in newspaper is bright

possible always to avoid being taken in. It
is to be hoped that the man who imposed
upon the Journal will be suitably punished
