that sum. The delinquent taxes of
the company in this county amount
to over $25, 900. and this is the amount
that is rendered as an inducement for
an unparalleled cut on the present roll,
doubtless as a precedent for future
valuation.
Sunday night burglars again blew
up the Northern Pacific Railways safe.
at the depot, and this time secured
cash to the amount OF $15S. Entrance,
it appears. was effected by a key to the
outer door and the use of Jimmy"
on the inside door. A hole was then
bored in the top of the sale, aud
powder easily poured in and fired.
The door Of the safe was blown off and
hurled several feet across the room.
The only thing which remained to do
for complete success Of the nefarious
enterprise, was to rife the drawers,
and this was doubtless quickly done
and hasty exit made, to escape pos
sible discovery from train boys, who
were sleeping at the freight depot
about 200 yards distant. 1t seems
strange that they were not awakened
by the report of the explosion. The
closing of the banks at l o'clock on
Saturdays necessitates the retention
sometimes of quite sum of money, by
Agent Stanford, and that was the con-
dition which enabled the cracksmen
to make very fair-sized haul.
