Burglars Crack q Safe.
Plattevilie Witness,

| Plattevilie Witness.
Henry Eastman's bank at Montfort
was burglarized last Thursday morn.
ing about two o'clock, by four men.
A charge of powder was exploded in !
hole that had been drilled through the
vault door. The explosion awakened
John Stephens who lives across the
street, and he quietly aroused the mar
shal and several citizens, who furnish.
ed themselves with shot guns and pro-
ceeded to bag their game. The posse
found that an entrance was made
through the barbershop and thence 10
the bank. The outer doors of the
huge safe were blown off, and the bur-
glars were drilling at the money vault
as they arrived. The operations were
watched for some time in hopes that
they might come out to see that the
party could not get at them. Finally
one OF the posse threw stone through
the front window, and the BURGLARS
seeing they were discovered, came ont
and commenced shooting and running,
the posse returning the fire. About Is
shots were fired altogether. The mon-
ey in the vault was not reached. the
robbers securing only about 5000. Al
chase for the burglars was instituted.
and one of them was caught in East
mans pasture. with a kit of tools.
about 200 yards away. He gave his
name as George Wartz. In trial be-
fore Justice Kuelling, he waived ex-
animation and pleaded "not guilty."
He was bound over to court at Ian
caster. Another arrest was made at
Livingston, and another at this city.
but thus far no definite proof is at
hand that the parties suspected actu-
ally had hand in the affair. The
four men came from Galena on the
evenings freight the night before the
robbery.

We have not had time to do more
than think abont writing up an adv,
as we promised last ek,-business
was too brisk-the very best evidence
of the correctness of our claim, that
we always lead in the shoe business,
and propose to do so.
Notwithstanding the cry of hard
times and dull trade, OUR sales have
been largely in excess of other years,
and is due only to the fact that we sell
the very best shoes obtainable, and at
prices so low that our customers are
always satisfied.
We shall during 1894 follow our
rule, and give the very best values in
footwear, at the most moderate prices.
Yours respectfully,
W.. PENHALLEGON.

body, even to preparing it for burial. She
asked the coroner why he did not order
the body TO be removed to her home. The
coroner ordered the body taken from the
morgue to the residence. Mrs. Schaefer told
the coroner of her husbands actions in the
last few days, and especially on Friday
night She said he was fo.'ty-fOur years old
and up to recently had enjoyed good bust
ness. His health was also good. She
said that a short time ago he became
pressed for money and tried to borrow 1t.
He was unsuccessful and this bore heavily
on his mind. However, she said he
acted nationally. He was accustomed to
get up between 4 and o'clock every morn
ing to go to his store and open UP. She
said the last time she saw him was bout
10 O'Clock Friday night. when they both
retired. He bid her good night in the
usual affectionate way and she then went
TO sleep. He did not awaken her yesterday
morning when he got UP to go 20 the
store.
1t was then thought that while Schaefer
was walking on the trestle work his
way to the store he either fell off and
drowned or else jumped in the canal with
suicidal intent. Schaefer's peculiar actions
recently led the coroner to believe that
possibly he had taken poison and then
Jumped into the canal, and accordingly an
autopsy was held yesterday afternoon. No
poison was found, and the coroner held
that death was due TO accidental drowning
or else il was a plain case of suicide. He is
undecided as to which is right. Schaefer's
body was found in exactly the same loca-
ton where Martin ODay's body was found
several weeks ago.
