 front windows and door, and wit
 revolvers, compelled the terrified Chi
 naman to open his safe, from whiol
 they extracted everything of value comprising over S4OO in money, sevora
 small silver bars, a gold watch ant
 other jewelry. After securing tn,
 swag, the burglars tied Sam's handi
 together, bound a towel over hi.
 mouth, and compelled him tohe dowr . on his bed
 They made their exit, as they had
 entered, through the front door, and parted, one going north, the other
 south, on broad street. Sam did not
 lose many moments in following them
 and ran south oR Broad street, halloo-
 ing unintelligibly, but in manner to
 alarm every one on the street. Ntr. E. ! II. Cook was everiaken by one of the
 burglars near the corner of Mesquite
 street. aud not knowing the cause of alarm, quickened his pace, keeping
 abreast of the robber, who turned his pistol toward him and said hold on | partnern Mir Cook, taking in the
 situation, drew away to the corner of
 the 0ld Dominion store, and the bur glar turned the corner and ran west on
 Mesquite street.
 1 In the meantime man had been seen to enter the fear of Franklin & Herron's butcher shop, and being ap,
 prised of it, Sheriff Thompson, Depu- | ty Creswell and W. B. Garland en-
 tered the building and found Tom De loeh in bed. He disclaimed any lynowl- edge of the robbery, and held candle while MT. Creswell made search of the room, officers Thompson and Gar land s.atiouing themselves at the bac., door.
 In the bed Mir Cresweu found two pistols, and sI.6s in silver scattered on the floor, which Beloeh claimed fell out of his trousers pocket, Tine officer next turned his attention to a can kalf- full of dirty water and was about to explore it's depths with stick, when the gentleman holding the canaIo with nasty excuse Of having to obey Q call of nature, mado his exit thrca d ] the door; the candle was oxtAgu;sheC ! and Mir, Cgeswoil let ia the styg;aa !. darkness. Deloch made the same ex- cuse to Mr Garland and was permitted 0 pass on into the yard. The fact Chat ! be was 50 seantily clad, only suit of under clothes, and without shoes or 1. stookinga, probably disarmed the off I oara of any suspicion that he would . attempt to escape
 Sheriff Thompson had gone to the rear door of an adjoining building, where he suspected one of tho robbers might have secretcd himself.
 Creswel groped his way out of the room and while he was questioning Garland, Deloch disappeared. Thomp- son and Creswell started in pursuit, and Garland went after horses. When the cabin of Thos. North, the sheriff saw Deloch leaving it. and fired two shots at him, but without effect Deloch had secured a pair of shoes, overails and a Winchester, and continued his flight up the canyon which turns to the len al Hugh Coma ian's residence, on the road leading Into the Miami valley. The officers searched the canyon and followed the road for some distance further but got no trace of Deloch. Later Sheriff Thompson and Jim Parks started on equipped for Q thorough search. Il
 Yesterday morning the Winchester, which Deioch took from North's cabin, ' was picked up about 100 yards ID tho any on. In the can in the euteher ihop which Mir. CresweH was about to 'xamine when Deloch took French cave, was found subsequently,, a | 'igar box containing rart of the stolen [ lroperty a gold watch, some jewelry If small value, eleven Mexican dollars, 'iS.45 in fractional silver, three small 'ars of silver, and lot of papers.
 The chances of recovering the re- nainder of the stolen money, about 400, appear slim. The loss is a heavy me to Sam Kee, but he is thankful it vas no greater. He bought checks to ] he amount of 54OO from L. F. Kellner I Co., the day of the robbery, thereby l the cash ip his safe that much. L
