way. His Lordship was very uncommuni-

enough for his blood" and he and Lady

EXPRESS PACKAGES STOLEN.

BELMONT, CAL, Feb. 14.-Burglars
entered the Southern Pacific depot here
early yesterday morning and blew open
Wells, Fargo g. Co.'s safe with giant
powder. Holes were drilled in the back
of the safe and the cartridges inserted
The explosion blew out the back of the SAFE
leaving the inner steel lining torn to
shreds. The robbers seemingly became
alarmed by the noise of the explosion, as
they left $50 in the safe within easy reach.
Two new suits of clothing were stolen
from the Wells-Fargo express packages.
People residing near the depot were
awakened at 2 o'clock in the morning by a
loud report and the breaking of glass. A
half dozen mon arose and went out onto
the streets TO Investigate, but, hearing or
seeing.nothing further, again retired. The
robbery was not discovered until 7 O'Clock,
when Wells, Fargo & Co.'s agent, ]. J..
Malone, opened the Office. He found the
back of the safe blown out, the windows of
the depot shattered and the walls badly
damaged. The burglars had entered by
the door in the wairing-room of the depot,
having broken a glass ID the door and
opened the night lock from the inside.
The express office, which is in the South
ern Pacific Railroad ticket office and the
Western Union telegraph office com bined,
was entered by the use of burglars keys.
The robbers had brought blankets with
them to wrap around the safe to deaden
the sound of the explosion. They left one
blanket, some fuse and the paper covering e
to the sticks of giant powder. It is be-
lieved that the lighting of lamps in neigh
boring houses after the giant powder was
touched off frightened the robbers away.
This is the fourth time this office has
been entered by burglars within less than
a year. Nine months ago Agent Malone
lost a revolver. Seven months ago the
Office was entered through the ticket-office
window and q hole bored into the back of
the safe, but nothing was taken. Five
months ago the Office was entered through
rear door and Densmore typewriter
stolen.
Yesterday robbery was Immediately re-
ported by wire to Sheriff McAvoy, who
with his deputies, was soon on the scene.
No clew has been found as vet, but it is be-
lieved the work was done by the two men
who have been operating in this county
for year past.

How Julian Pinto Brought Himself In
Contempt.

How Julian Pinto Brought Himself In
Contempt.
Julian Pinto is in danger of being cited
for contempt. He advised his client to re-
main in the house and receive no one, so
she could not be summoned, and then
when summons was returned as served he
filed affidavits to the effect that it never
had been. The case was suit brought by
Joseph Music against Nellie Hermann to
recover rent and possession of premises.
Pinto said he was aware that summons
was frequently returned as served when no
service had been made, and he thought he
would set trap for the other side The
other side produced the man who had the
summons in hand, however, and he swore
he had served the summons on Mrs. Her.
mann in person, but that she refused to
receive it. Counsel for plaintiff said he
thought Pinto had been guilty of contempt
of court in thus inciting his client to evade
summons, and Judge Hebbard said if the
necessary affidavits were prepared he
would cite Pinto to appear and answer.
