How the Watch Was Captured.
He noticed thai the blinds were drawn.
but concluded that the jan;tor for some
reason had drawn them. He walked TO
the windows and raised the blinds. Then
he stepped to the safe, and was STOPPING to
pick up something bright that was lying
on the floor when he was struck on top of
the head anG felled to the floor. He was
then tied securely AMI carried across the

again taken up. Driscoll and Courtney
were watched by one OF the trio, who COW
cred each of them with a revolver, while
the other two completed their work of
ransacking the safe. Not word was spok-
en- by any of them.
When everything Of value in the safe had
been secured the three men quietly took
their departure. First giving their prison
ers an admonition to make no sound or
movement for at least fifteen minutes

No Clue to the Robbers.
For four hours the two watchmen strug-
gled at the ropes which bound them and
finally succeeded in releasing themselves.
They at once notified the Desplaines street
