CO>.rLy BURGLARS TOOLS.
-SrsothlnE Abont "a First Glass C1ackuan's
Kit Of Implem.nts.

Nit Of implements
A Kit OF burglars tools, say full
outfit for conducting safe blowing
and breaking operations on a iirst-class
scale, will cost from seven hundred
to several thousand dollars. OF course
the latter are made Of the finest tool
steel and embracing every known tool
in the burglars art. There are nu-
mcrous ''jimmies' of assorted sizes.
and of course that handy implement,
n jointcd Jimmy Then there is II
full assortment of steel wedges from
the. thickness Of sheet of paper up to
an inch. These wedges frequently
play an important part in breaking
open a safe, The burglar will first
insert the edge OF one of the thinnest
in the narrow crack OF safe. and will
then keep on inserting larger sizes,
until, singular as it may seem. he will
accumulate sufficient force to pry over
the door and leave good-szcd oriiice.
A small hand pump is then brought
inso play If the safe is to be "blown,"
and sufficient powder is pumped in to
blow off the door.
This oriicc is also used to enable the
cracksman to fasten a peculiarly con-
srived implement that was invented
by one Of Red Leary's famous gang.
1t is combination lever and screw,
by means of which it is possible to
get such terrific clutch on safe
door as to tear out the wrought-iron
plates which protect the lock. In fact,
so great is the leverage possible with
this ~ shaped implement when the
screw pressure is applied that no safe
in Christendom can withstand it. pro-
vidcd it is once possible to get u grip.
One of these tools was found in the
kit left behind at the time of the at
tempted robbery of Wattles' icwelry
store on Fifth avenue, when with
twenty minutes more time the cracks
men would have captured one hundred
thousand dollars worth of diamonds
and jcwelry. There arc dozens of
circular steel saws which are mounted
in an adjustable framework and oper-
ated by II pedal. and when they are put
in motion the safc-door must be tough
one that will withstand them.
When these tools are ordered from
Pittsburgh steel concerns they, of
course. are not classified rs burglars
tools. Oh, no. They figure rs "sci.
enttic implements" and tools desired
for Use in the higher mechanical arts,
but all the same they are used for safe
There is young black
smith whose home is in Pittsburgh. and |

National reputation among the contra
ternity OF crooks as Il maker of burglars

The Importance of Keeping Up Appear
| ances of IL Country Place.
The farm which is most valuable to
its owner and most appreciated by his
fellow citizens is not necessarily that
which includes the most acres, or has
the most prctentous buildings, or even
the finest pcdigrced stock. The farm
that attracts the traveller as he passes
through the town, the one which is
pointed out with pride to the stranger.
and the one which would meet the
readiest sale if put on the market to-
day. is the one that is kept up. There
is IN air of thrift about the place that
tells. The house has all its clapboards
and shingles; it is neatly painted; the
blinds are in good order. Wherever
| there is hinge about the house, build
ings or fences, it is kept in order; it
does not sag or creak when turned;
the barn has the same air OF neatness;
there is Il place for each animal, and it
is clean and tight, 50 tina, colds are not
invited nor disease germs fostcrcd: the
products Of the farm are carefully
gathered and appropriated; nothing is
allowed 10 waste. Whatever can be
used to advantage is used and all rub
bish that can be converted into ferril-
izcr is carried to the manure heap.
while all the rest is burned. The fields
are cleaned up when harvest is over,
and the garden is divcstcd of
its monumental stalks. and vines
that mark the graves where beauty
sleeps The walks are clear from weeds
and well rak ed and even. Stone walls
are Of the same height throughout and
have al even. finished look. Bars are
not lacking from their proper place,
and the posts do not lean like the tower
OF Pisa. Cattle, when pasturcd. will |
stay there because the fences are in
order. The tools are cared for scrupu-
lousy. Whenever any Thing is used it
is properly cleaned, if need be oiled,
and stored in its place under cover. II
any thing is broken it is mcndel on the
spot. If possible.
All this is not accomplished by a rush
of work on one day and neglect the
rest. 1t is only by constant vigilance
that it is secured. without haste,
without rest. is the motto Of the thrifty
farmer He realizes that delays are
dangerous. and waits for no more
convenient season. He takes the timely
stitch and saves nine times the work
and money otherwise occasioncd.
The man who is most pushed for time
Is he who is soadcd on by the constant
presence Of neglected duties. Any
farmer may possess the coveted valua-
BILE farm II he takes the best care pos
sible Of that which is his. -- Nossachu-

ATTACKED BY THE INDIANS.
A Thrilling Adventure in an Over
land Stage Coach.
A CHAPTER OF FRONTIER HISTORY
In Which w. A. Paxton, Captain
Curran and DR.. McCIelland
Were Prominent
Actors.
An Interesting "Reminiscences.

Several well-known western men,
while sitting in the rotunda of the Pax
ton hotel the other evening, related
some interesting chapters from their
experiences on the plains before the
days of the railroad. Among the num-
Der was Hon. William A. Paxton of
this city. Mr.. Paxton, as is well known,
assisted in the construction of the
Pacific telegraph line, which was built
by Edward Creighton. He also
freighted from Omaha to Denver, and
built a portion of the Union Pacific rail
road. During the years which he spent
on the plains he met with several thrill
ing adventures, one of which occurred
while he was engaged in freighting.
81 shall never forget the time the In
dians fired into the overland stage in
which | was Il passenger" said Mr.. Pax
ton. 81 remember it as we'll to-day as
if it had occurred only yesterday. 1t
was twenty-four years ago" Nh. Pax
ton then went on and related the fol-
lowing story:
In 1864 you remember that the In
dams were quite troublesome. They
burned up nearly all the ranches OF the
road between Kearney and Denver and
had that big fight with the soldiers at
JuleSburg. We frcightcrs had to drive
our teams in double file, and escort them
from Kearney with eighty of our own
men, all well armed. | happened to be
captain in these emergencies. We had
several little skirmishes with the In
dams, but no one was killed. In Octo-
Der, 1864, | was on my way from Omaha
to Denver with the frelghting outfit of
Finn and Dick Mccormick. | had
nhnppa nf the train ht KaarnnU WnS
taken sick and had to stay there for "A
day or two. AS soon as l felt able to
travel | started out by stage to overtake
my train, which was going to O'FallOn's.
The overland stage had eight passen-
gers and the driver. We started out in
good spirits, and nobody anticipated any
trouble, as the Indians had given us Il
brief rest in that locality. | occupied a
place OF the middle seat of the coach.
On the front seat, facing me, was a lady
the only one in the coach. Her name
was Mrs. Abbott. She was on her way
home to Georgetown, Colo. Beside her
fieshy. He was crowding Mrs. Abbott
considerably, and made her quite
nervous. So l asked him to give
her a little more room. This he
did, and she thanked me. This
was about 7 O'Clock in the evening, just
as we were going into a gulch. 1t was
a bright starlight night. The moment
we entered the gulch / began to feel
uneasy. 1t looked like a good place for
Indians, and a mighty poor place for
white folks. / kept my eyes peeled to
the front, to the right and to the left. /

| pulled my revolver and made him
waltz out.
l then telcgraphed for Dr.. McClelland
at Fort Kearney, thirty-tive miles dis
tant. In just three hours and ten
minutes DR.. McClelland came gallopinG
into the station with an escort Of thirty
five men.
The moment the doctor dismounted T
happened to think of the old man, who
claimed to be mOrtally wounded. | took
the doctor in to see him. We found
him lying on the floor, his head against
the wall, with no more color in his face
than a piece of white paper.
We loosed his clothes and n bullet
dropped to the floor. 1t had struck him
on the left side of the stomach, and
half buried itself without breaking the
skin. | could put my thumb into tho
indenture. But it. amounted to Moth
ing; no blood was spilled whatever.
We soon convinced him he was not
hurt. He then offered up n prayer OF
thanks, and seemed to be n very happy
man, MS he didn't want to be killed so
far from home.
DR.. McClelland said he would have
died in twenty minutes more from
fright. had often heard about people
being scared to death, but hardly
believed it could be done. Here. how
ever, was a practical demonstration Of
it.
Now about the telegraph operator, the
top of whose head the driver had said,
had been shot off. He was not killed.
He had been hit with an arrow, and in
trying to pull it out he had twisted it
around and thus lOoscned the entire top
of his scalp. He a the bloodiest man
] ever saw, and we all thought he was
dead until we got him into the station.
DR.. McClclland patched him up and, as
/ afterwards was told, he came out all
right.
DIR. McClclland made an examination
OF Mrs. Abbott's arm, and assured the
lady that he could save it. He took
out all right. IAN arm on
is worth ten thousand arms
of" That's is about what tho
doctor said, when | asked him what he
thought about the case. The other
wounded persons were only slightly
hurt.
Ben. Holiday came down that night
from Salt Lake. He was chased into
Plum Creek by the Indians.
NoNt morning | struck out for O'Fal-
Ions with a party. We got through all
right the next evening, although wa
were fired upon by the Indians, who
that night burned several ranches.
At o'clock n stage came over from
O'FallOn's Bluffs on n dead rum, and
when it drew up at my camp the soli-
tary passenger inquired for me. When
j came up / found he was the husband OF
Mrs. Abbott. He asked me about his
wife, and | tod him she was coInforta-
bile and being well cared for. He waited
but a minute, and then ordered the
driver 70 whip up his horses, and away
he went.
Mr.. Abbott, who was then a wealthy
miner, was three miles from George
toxin when my telegram reached there.
His clerk sent for him, and meantime
arranged by telegraph a relay Of horses
at every stage station between George
town and Plum Crock. In thirty hours
Mr.. Abbott made tho 345 miles, reach
ing the bedside OF his wife at 2 o'clock
on the second morning after she was
shot.
Mr.. Abbott is a poor man now.
For several years after this incident
Mrs. Abbott used to write TO mo. I
went to see them at Georgetown "a few
years ago, but they had moved TO Lead
