favOrite. The color is easily distin-
guished because it's an odd one, and

storm hidden somewhere about her, you
may know it's porcelain blue" and
that the girl is plump up to par on

BURGLARS AT THE DEPOT.-The depot
at this place was entered by burglars
last Friday night. They gained access
thereto by prying open the door with a
bar or chisel. They then proceeded to
blow open the safe, which they success
fully did-judging from the wreck
made. The door was completely blown
off and the contents ScOrched and
smoked. There was no money in the
safe nothing but Western tickets and a
few mileage books, which were not
taken. The explosion was a heavy one,
breaking several lights of glass, tearing
ticket case was also broken into, but like
the safe, there was no money therein,
except few pennies which were left
undisturbed. For all their trouble,
therefore, the burglars received nothing.
Dick MoileS, the Waterman at the engine
house, at about three O'Clock went up to
the hotel to call the train hands, as is
his usual custom. On his way back he
heard the explosion and went to the
depot. AS he was crossing the track a
man jumped off the platform and ran
down the track, disappearing in the
darkness. Station Agent True, who
boards at the house near by, was imme
diately summoned and a search made,
but with unsuccessful result. Its sup
posed that the burglars were the same
gang that operated in Johnson at an
earlier hour that same night. A sum of
money for the bank came in on the train
that night, and some think that this was
what the cracksmen were after. All
MONEY for the bank is never placed in
the depot. 1t is always taken to the
bank Immediately upon arrival of train.
Mr.. True never leaves any money what
ever in the depot, About two years ago
an attempt was made to blow open the
safe, but the operators were frightened
away before completing the job. The
safe is an old one belonging to G. S.
Page and was left there for storage. We
guess it could now be bought at low
figure.
