A sensational story was started and
gained quite widespread circulation,
that an attempt had been made to

report was a little later reduced to the
fact that an attempt had been made
to secure an entrance into the unoccu.

in the Shugart block. Why burglars
should care to enter the empty build.
ing could be accounted for only by
the fact tina. tho sign OF the bank was
still over tho door, and the burglars
did not know Of the removal. A hole
was shown in tho door, in oorrobora
ton Of tho fact that the fellows had
really b3en at work there. There
were scores Of cit z,ns who viewed the
remains, and even Clark, the elon.
gated scribe, was duped into believing
that bank burglars we're not sharp
enough TO know an empty bulldog
from an occupied one, and wrote up Is
glowing account Of tho attempted
crime. The fact Ia that the hole In the
door was msde in fitting on n Yale
lock a few inches above tho old lccI,
and when the bank folk moved they
took the lock of, exposing the hole,
and thus leaving On unused key hole
out Of which the burglary aensatit L

Utilizing Natural Gas,

Years ago, in their eagerness to tap
from the earth its hidden treasures OF
oil, drillers generally expressed disgust
Wien nothing but gas rewarded their
efforts. Later, some enterprising men
began to turn their attention to this
great source of caloric, and, one by one,
. number Of iron and gas manufactures
in Pennsylvania carried the gas into
their mills. The Engineering and
Mining Journal says they have not
made much buster over what they
were doing, and have quietly pocketed
the increased profits which their saving
Of fuel, due to the use of gas, has given
them. OF late, however, the subject is
attracting considerable attention in
quiet way, and recent Developments in
dictate that the territory which may
possibly he able to draw upon the new
source of fuel supply is much greater
than is generally believed. Gas wells
have been opened and are utilized as far
west as Detroit, and as far south "a
West Virginia, and Pittsburgh is now
getting excited over the extension Of

eastern part OF the great Smoky City,
and rapid extension of the field of the
gaseous fuel is looked forward to. The
belief is expressed by men whose
opinion is worthy of much consider
alton, that the number of localities
capable of being supplied with gaseous
fuel in the States of New York, Penn
ssylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and
Michigan is much larger than the ma
]ority have any conception of, and the
permenency of the flow of some tf the
older wells gives rise to the hope that
it is reliable fuel supply. It's cheap.
