Safe in the Office of Nara

Night WatChman Everett Was
Bound and Gagged Before
the Deed Was Done.
SOME MONEY AND CHECKS TAKEN
The Watchman Was Rendered Unconscious by
Heavy Blow on the Head HE Is Unable
to Give DecrptIon Of the Men.

The large grist mill operated by the Mar
ragansett Milling Company, located on
the east side of the Seekonk river, In East
Providence, was the scene of daring rob-
berry last night.
About II 80 o'clock Everett Sweet, the
night watchman, went into the Office to
eat his lunch, and while sitting there he
heard slight sound in the vicinity of the
railroad crack. He got up to investigate
and as he did SO he was dealt q heavy blow
on the head and was rendered unconscious.
When he recovered four men wearing
masks were standing In the room. He
had been bound and gagged while un-
conscious, and was unable to move. They
told him to remain quiet and he would
not be harmed. They then very kindly
washed the blood from his face and put
wet towels on his head and carried him
out into freight car, laid him gently on
the floor, put meal bag under his head
and then left him and shut the car door.
They then returned to the Office and blew
open the safe. They secured one check
and some papers, which are worthless to
them, and go in money.
They again went to the freight car and
gave the watchman q drink of water and
told him they were sorry to leave him shut
up on such warm night, and then went
away after shutting the doors.
About or o'clock this morning q
switching gang came down the track and
seeing the office door open ana the safe
blown to pieces began a search for the
watchman, and after short time found
him in the car.
They then went to the Office and tried to
notify the police, but found that the wires
had been cut. They then sent a man to
notify the police, but as yet they have no
clews.
They learned that instead of four men
there were five men mixed mp in the affair,
four doing the work, while one stood at
Watchemocket Square and watched the
police station.

A kLoNDIkE FABLE.
The Miner with the Gold aAd the 1Es

The Miner with the Gold aMa the Man
with the Meats.
The Klondike gold miner wrapped his
furs around him and put bit between
his teeth to keep them from chattering.
He looked at his pocket Thermometer.
1t was so cold the thing had burst.
"Ugh," he muttered, taking out the
bit for a moment, "it's cold here, but
you bet I've got the stuff"
He kicked q large bag in front of him
containing dust of the paltry sum of
$1s5, 700. Then he sighed.
Not enough for a square meal" he
muttered.
With new energy the toiler arose and
prepared to sink a new shaft. Urged
on by the pangs of hunger he sunk
through IS feet of solid ice, and by the
aid of 1000 pounds of dynamite blew a
hole in the earth two feet deep.
Before him lay glittering nuggets.
Anywhere else but in Klondike he
would have had to go deeper.
With nervous hand he scooped them
up and climbed to the top of his ice
shaft. For moment he gazed at the
peaceful scene around him. The aurora
borealis was just getting in its work.
But he could not eat the aurora
borealis.
In feverish haste he counted up his
wealth. Together with the trifie in his
bag he estimated S596,O00.
ALAS" he cried, 81 am still poor
man."
just then a man drawing dog sledge
passed his way. The miners eye glis-
tened as he saw a meat parcel protrud-
ing from the passer-by's pocket. He
hailed the new conner.
What have you there" he asked
'You see before you man who has had
nothing but ice to eat for 12 days.
would pay any price for square meal"
The sledge man expressed his sym
pathy, but remarked that business was
business. He showed the miner pound
of bacon, and the miners eye glittered
for the third time.
Then without a word he handed over
his meager $s96, 900 savings and grasped
the bacon. The man in the sledge drove
on.
"At least" said the miner, as he
buried his teeth in the toothsome NOR
sci, 81 have kept the wolf from the |
door for another day."-Denver Times. |
