A SUCCESSFUL SNEAK.
The c., B. & Q. Paymaster in Chicago
Robbed Of $4,000.
He Forgot to Lock the Safe When He Went
to Lunch.

CHICAGO, March Last Saturday about
one O'Clock in the afternoon, paymaster c.
S. Bartlett, of the Chicago, Burlington s.
Quincy railroad, left his Office for lunch,
without taking the precaution to lock the
combination of the big safe, in which the
moneys for the payment of the employees
was deposited, on leaving the room. He
did so without waiting the return Of the
other attaches of the office, who had gone
to lunch. Before his return the safe was
robbed of all its contents, except some pack
ages of nickels and some small change, the
total amount disappearing, as nearly as the
company can estimate, being $27, 900. On
the facts becoming known, and on investi-
CATION, Paymaster Bartlett was discharged
from the service Of the company for negli-
gence, and the affair was placed in the hands
of the detectives. An effort was made to
keep the matter secret, in hopes that the de
tectives would be facilitated in their work,
but the affair becoming known, in the belief
that exaggerated statements would be pub
lished concerning the robbery, the officials
showed a willingness that the exact
facts should be furnished the public. The
theory advanced by the treasurer OF the COM
pany is, that the robbery was mplished
by a sneak thief. Two doors led into the
cashiers office from vacant room, one Of
which was found ajar on the paymaster's re-
turn. The paymaster's room Is located in
the general offices of the company on the
second floor of the building, and was con-
structed especially with view to guard
against intrusion or theft. But in this in
stance, the most ordinary precautions appear
to have been ignored. The explanation
given by the paymaster is, that it was sup
posed the vacant room adjoinining his office
was always kept locked, but in this
case it was proved otherwise. This door
was closed and adjoins the vault in which
the safe was located. When the paymaster
left the room, the cashier Of the company
and an assist mt, who occupy practically the
same room, but sit at desks somewhat re-
moved from the vault, and in an angle
which practically cOnceals the entrance to
the vault, so that anyone entering from the
vacant room, could have accomplished the
robbery without their knowledge. The pay
master assumes the robbery must have been
committed by some one having a complete
knowledge of the room and the habits of its
occupants.
CHICAGO, March NO new develope
ments in reference to the Burlington &
Quincy $4,000 robbery. The detectives
have advanced a new theory. to the effect
that the robbery did not actually occur as
stated by certain employees, but that some

groan. tax of s1.25 per acre or 5000 for

ing for revenue at the expense of the pioneer.
The existing rate per acre has simply stood
because the settler is slow to protest.
Rev. T. T. Webb at Helena, last Sunday
preached upon the popular vice OF gambling
He was pointed in his description of the evil
effect of it, but did not give the local phase
in so sensational and annoying shape as
did the Fargo pulpit in the same day. In
the abstract very few will not join in depre-
eating gaming. Out in their early stages
all the westerns towns that grow up
rapidly with little of the restraining influence
OF good women, and where money is made
in unusual ways and volume are notably adj
dicted to gambling. Better conditions come
with time.
Parties recently from the Turtle mountain
region are quite enthusiastic over the pros
poets. Mr.. Thompson, one OF the pioneers
in Bottineau, southwest Of the mountains,
states that there are 800 settlers there, and
all have found comfortable log or frame
houses, no claim shanties to be found. There
is good farming land there, with plenty OF
timber and COAL and they claim that there is

but by no means an enviable one. During
the session of the grand jury at Fargo, he be

salary. He is practically unapproachable,
not only by the humble citizen, but by other
high officials, cutting them off in the short
est manner. He is an aspirant for higher
official honors, but should he come before
the people for their suffrages it will be reg

official duty, and he has no authority what
ever to obstruct the execution of the laws,
municipal OF state; and if the police regula-
tions are what they should be he would be
liable in every such case for criminal NAL
yersation ia his office. If he can commit
such gross official outrages with IMMUNITY from
legal censure, there exists most improvident
omission in our city organic law, and the
next thing to be determined upon at once is
TO relegate from his honorable position, by
him grossly dishonored. to the rank OF private
citizenship at the next election.
But such perverseness on the part of the
mayor, if these accusations be well founded,
does not excuse others, not even the police
men. from making complaint of material
violations of law, of which they
have personal knowledge, and thus place
proceedings beyond interference by the
mayor. He cannot interfere with or obstruct
the process of the municipal or district
courts, both of which have jurisdiction OF
these offences, whether such process
affect the policemen or others,
without subjecting himself to the vengence

which is authorized to issue
its process to any OF the mayors
subordinatea, and he will not
interfere With its service. The municipal
Judge is clothed with ample authority to pro-
tect the officer from interference by anyone
who NAV seek to obstruct the service Of its
process by any officer receiving it for that
purpose.
The proceedings of the recent Republican
nominating city convention is certainly
strangely corroborative Of this distrust. For
mayor the nomination was strictly partisan
and the nomination was expressly accepted
in open convention on strictly partisan
grounds, as Republican and on the Republi-
can platform. This can only be regarded as
Independent of and repcllant to democrats,
and may lead to harmony and unity in their
ranks. 1t may also possibly result
in continuance of the al
legged prevailing and all pervading
moral putridy exhaling its odorferous stencil
for the continued deectation Of the Repub-
lican moraists of our city, of which they pro-
fess to be so very proud when no reference
is had to the mayors department of its gov
eminent The strong Republican business
element in the city have found the Ames
stencil of vigorous thrifty quality, and they
have grown not only proud but also fat on it.;
and it may well be questioned whether their
strong censure is not only perfunctory.

Il Democrat om the city Government.

To the Editor Of the Globe:
have been very distrustful of sincerity
in much of this protestation of which we
have heard so much of late, respecting de-
sire to reform the administration of our city
government for various reasons, among
which are: First-The apparent absurdity
OF the wholesale accusation against Mayor
Ames. Second-The evident, as it appears
to me, want of good faith on the part of the
wholesale accusants. Third-The total fail
ure by those who know, or assume to know,
of the violations Of law, for failure to sup
press or punish, which the mayor is so
severely censured and denounced, to make
the proper complaints for prosecution.
If 1 understand the general drift of al
legged malyersation in office by the mayor, he
is accused of obstructing the execution Of
the laws by verbal instructions to his official
subordinates, the police, not to perform their
official duties respecting bawdy, gambling
and tipping houses within their juris-
dictions and such as are guilty of
offenses in connection with them.
Such conduct was in contravention of his
