BANK ROBBERS CARELESS
a Muddy Suit of Clothes Causes

Good Hard Cash.

Los Angeles, Calf, June 27.-One
of the most daring attempts at bank
robbery ever perpetrated was discov-
cred by the local police a few days
ago, but the facts have only just been
made public. \ suit of mud-stained
clothing was recently found in rooms
occupied by three noted crooks, which
led the police TO. suspect the trio were
tunnelling under some bank or safe
deposit vault. a search was insti-
tuted and it was discovered that the
vaults of the First National bank had
been undermined. A saloon one hun
dred feet distant from the bank build
ing was placed under surveillance. A
secret examination of the premises
disclosed tunnel two and "a half
feet square, leading from the cellar
of the saloon to the basement of the
bank. In the cellar was found tub
containing thirty-one sticks of dyna-
mite and quantity of giant powder.
The tools used in digging were also
found carefully concealed in the tun-
mel ~
The discovery was made none too
soon, for another days work would
have sufficed to weaken the vaults
enough to permit the use of explosives
with certain success.
Meanwhile the proprietor of the
saloon has disappeared and the three
crooks have also taken fight. An
accomplice of the robbers has been
arrested and the police are hopeful of
landing all their men.
The First National bank carries not
less than 100000 in currency in the
vaults at all times. The loot, if ac-
compljshed, would have been one of
the largest in the history of bank rob
berries.

FROM WEST END.

West End, June 27.-This past week
has been a gala one for West End and
a most profitable one to the street car
company. Many of the delegates to
the Baptist convention were guests of
West End, and the delegates were
most Hospitality entertained, regard
less of the religious views of the hosts.
Those who were not fortunate as to
find homes out here are very much
impressed with West End as a place
of residence. Coming out of the city,
where the suns hot rays and the dust
almost suffocate the people, they
found ii pleasant indeed to rest where
cooling breezes blow continuously.
Not a few of them remained out here
during the day, foregoing the pleasure
of the convention exercises just to en-
Joy the breeze and keep cool. The
cars were crowded all the time by 9TH
ers who came out to get a bit of fresh
air and view what they all said was
the most beautiful of all San Antonio's
suburbs. Then every evening there
were several carloads Of people out to
take advantage of the splendid boat
ing facilities and to dispose of the pa
vilion keepers stock of watermelons.
The street car service was good. The
cars were on time and extra trailers
were run to accommodate the people.
Jack Thompson, one of the most eff
ficient motormen on the street car
line, is no longer on duty. He has ac-
cepted'a position with the San Antonio
Street Car company.
General Russ says he will assist the
waterworks committee in every way
he can to secure the extension of the
Breckenridge mains to West End,
sacrificing his own interests for that
of the community.

GRAND JURYs FINDINGS.
Politics Alleged to be at the Root
of the Charges Against the
Mayor and Others.


sensation of the week and causeda
great deal of discussion in the clubs
ON the street and in the business
houses.
The mayor was taken completely by
surprise. He was told of the indict-
ments by many persons who had read
the Lights account of them, but
thought they We're joking him, until
finally he was convinced otherwise by
reading the Light. Then he became
indignant, but did not lose his tem-
per. and when a Light reporter asked
| him if he would make a statement re-
garding the matter, for publication, he
was in good humor, but had no
statement to make. merely saying the
entire indictments grew out of spite
work of his political opposition. He
did not fear trial of the case, in fact
desired as early an investigation as
possible.
Mr.. Kalteyer also had no statement
to make, only laughing when the ac-
| crfsation was mentioned
The friends of these gentlemen were
not so good humored about it and ex-
pressed themselves in pretty strong
language.
Alderman Devine was indignant,
and declared it was very serious
matter, and condemned the accusa-
tons in emphatic terms.
City Auditor Meyer said: "There
will yet be serious trouble over this
thing"
Another friend of the administra-
ton declared he could walk but a
very few blocks away from the city
hall and lay his hands on the people
who had made these charges.
Alderman Hoefiing appeared to be
somewhat surprised, but was very
tnon-committal.
Who the witnesses are to the affida-
Wits are, as yet, not known. These will
be made public latter.
The warrants for the arrest of the
defendants. have not yet been served,
are not yet issued in fact.
The mayor and Mr.. Kalteyer went
to the county court house in the af-
ternoon to inquire when they should
surrender themselves and if they
would be allowed to give bond, and
were told that the papers Of arrest
would not be ready before Monday.
