Attempted Robbery.

f. U. Hickok, the s. p. Co.'s depot
agent at this place, was greatly sur
prised yesterday morning when he
opened the depot, to find cement scat
tered all over bis office. However, he
was not long in finding the cause. Dur
ing the night robbers had entered by
breaking out window glass, and had
attempted to blow open the company's
safe with dynamite. Tue robbers had
drilled through the outer casing of the
safe door, and putting in charge of
dynamite, blew the outer casing open,
also blowing out a lot of the cement.
They then attempted to drill through
the inner casing, but either 1t was too
hard or they did not have time.
Nigh -watchman Carroll said he
heard some one walking around out
there between one or two o'clock in
the morning, but thought it was only
boys, and did not pay any attention to
it
Very few persons heard the explo.
sion and those who did hear 1t thought
nothing Of 1t, as the sound was indis-
tinct, and therefore the attempted
robbery was not discovered until the
next morning.
The safe door is probably ruined, but
otherwise the safe IS not damaged.
Mr.. Hickok says the robbers would
not have secured over $50 or $50 if they
had succeeded in opening the safe.
The safe was shipped to Portland
yesterday evening.
The work was undoubtedly done by
inexperienced men, and they probably
live right here 10 Lebanon.
There is no clue as to who the guilty
parties are.
The robbers used an ok and crOwbar
that was kept at the depot. They left
an old brace and chisel, which upon
inquiry by Marshal Carroll, was found
to have bten taken from r. H. Bodies
wheelwright shop. The other tools
used by the robbers were taken away
by them.

The Writer "Croaks" to Some Purpos

Inc Wrlter "CroakS TO Some Purpose.
In the north end of town, lying on
both sides Of Main street, is a region
paralleled by few other spots on the
face of the Willamette valley. There,
If the phraseology may be pardoned, is
place instinct with death. A huge
basin, whose rim is enclosed by beau
tiful valley on one side and ancient
hills on tie other, is stricken with bac-
terra of death; whose treeless and al
most shrubless bosom is blasted with
green scum containing ague, chills,
typhoid and all kinds of malaria imag-
Unable; yes, and even the germs of that
ever dread disease, diphtheria, of
which our town has just had siege.
Situated as it is almost in the very
heart Of our beautiful little town, with
mountain peaks that tower hundreds
of feet above it, as pure as nature can
make them, it is very "Gehennan-a
place of death and bones. Birds and
animals hardly dare come near it.
Vegetation that even goats will not
eat grows in and around it undis-
turbed. The hot sun adds to its fury;
rouses its ire as an angry beast; then
sweeps oyer our little town seeking
whom it may devour. Sometimes u
cloud hovers over, then the frogs cease
to croak, or boy throws pebble into
the soft green scum, and 1t sinks almost
to fathomless abyss. Soon all is
quiet, the clouds again scatter, the
little frogs venture to the surface; a
faint sound is heard, a low rumbling
as If in the far distance; a warning sigh
on the wind; the earth almost trembles,
leap into the pond; splash half
water, half mud and scum; away go
germs of bacteria to find Judgement in
the corpusces Of our fellow man. Soon
we hear of ague, typhoid fever, etc,
and all because our town council would
rather see such diseases carry off a
dozen or two of our citizens than ven-
ture few dollars in filling it up or
draining it. CRoAKER.
