Bennison Bros. were almost the victims
of a robbery yesterday afternoon about $3.50
o'clock, and the only thing that prevented
their losing u lot of valuable stuff was the
fact that they were both in the store at the
time the attempt was made. They were
talking over business matters in the Office
when they thought they heard some one
tampering with the transom. Frank Ben
nison proceeded 10 make an investigation,
and when he opened the door leading to the
second floor he found himself face TO face
with a tough looking character. The half
open tranSom showed how he had gained
access to the store. IL was hard
to tell which of the two was
the most thoroughly surprised, the
merchant or tine would-be thief, but the lat
ter was the first To recover his presence Of
mind. Leaping up on a pile of cloaks he
made u dive through the trlusom and fell
in a large heap on the floor outside. Benni-
son called 70 his brother " intercept the

merchant to run out of the front door. BY
the time he had done so and got to the back

Yet | Kept ON hoping that the living in
ternal machine in my trousers leg might
take 1T into its head to trace its steps
and come down to the ground again be-
fore anything happened to disturb it..
The centiPede showed no disposition of
that kind, but suddenly changed its base
by moving from my leg to my trousers

would have smashed the centipcdc, with
his back against my hip bone, and that

death awaited my slightest move. The
centipcde, although most deliberate in
its movements, reached my other hip
by and by and, to my joy, started down
that leg. Slowly he let himself down,
and 50 intense was my suspense. in hope
that he was on his way out by that

Back from the strip.

DR.. A. j. Cook returned home yesterday
morning at 8 O'Clock from a land hunting cx-
petition to the Cherokee Strip. He left here
just before the time set for the commence
ment of the grand rush and arrived at the
boundary of the Strip initimc to see the other
land hunters start at the drop Of the hand
kerchief. He did not take part in the race
himself, he says, but finds himself, never
theless, the possessor of 100 acres of land in
the Strip.
II watched the racers start" he remarked
yesterday in conversation on the subject,
but made no effort to get in, as l had de-
cided what my plan should be. | took my
time looking round and finally found Il
sooner who was sick and destitute and
ready to sell out. OF course l could have
filed on top of him and beaten him. but
rather than go to that trouble l paid him S25
for his improvements and he quit vOlun-
tarlly. All this talk about the land in the
Strip being worthless is ~foolishness. 1t is
just as good land as can be found anywhere
and my claim, | am told, is worth $4,000
