HIS TOOLS BEFORE HIM
CHARLES SNYDER, or CHICAGO
WAS ABOUT TO CRACK A SAFE.
Bicycle PatrOIman walked in on Him
on North Illinois
Street.

Charles Snyder, Chicago stock, had his
| tools spread out before the big safe in the
office Of the Santa Clara Wine Company,
at No. 14S North Illinois street, last night,
| and was about ready to begin preparations
to blow it, when Bicycle Patrolmen STREET.
| and Lancaster slipped in on him and
spoiled the job.
Night Waterman Elliott, in making his
rounds, went into a passageway in the rear
of the wine companys store at II 80 o'clock
and tried the cellar door. 1t came open at
his pull. and he carefully closed it. lie then
called the police. The bicycle patrolmen ST.
lently opened the cellar door and passed
down the stairs. The cellar was entirely
dark, and as they walked to the front they
turned on the electric lamps which hung
from the ceiling. When they reached the
front they saw a slender youth sitting COM
fortably on a wine barrel, watching them.
STREET. drew his revolver, and pointing it at
the young man, said: Throw up your
hands and don't make a move, or I'll
shoot"
The slender young mans hands flashed
up and he answered coolly, do you think
I'm d-n fool?"
The policemen looked down at him a min
ute in establishment and then they asked
him what he was doing there.
well, boys, to tell the TRUTH" replied the
young man, I'm here to steal"
The patrolmen took him up stairs into the
storeroom and began to look around after
traces of the young mans visit. AT last, APP
parently, he grew weary of seeing them
search.
Boys he said, 81 came here to blow
this safe and here are my TOOLS"
He led the policemen to the safe and
showed them on the floor his kit laid out
ready for use.
Haven't you got a partner?' they next
asked him.
no" he replied, affably, 'T came down
here from Chicago three days ago to do a
job like this. l looked around for pal, but
couldn't find one to suit me- When l came
here l went to that mission on West Mary
land street, and have been staying there.
1 was walking about town to-day and
noticed this place. 1t looked good. L went
in the store and then I went around behind
and saw the passageway and the cellar
doors. I laid out my plans and last night
1 got these tools in a wagon shop, L don't
know now where it was. 1 never tried a
safe job before"
The patrolmen gathered up the tools and
took Snyder to the police station. He was
slated the charge of burglary. He said
he was a teamster when in Chicago, and
that he was eighteen years old. He looked
to be twenty-five. The two patrolmen think
Snyder would have waited in the cellar I'M
til about o'clock in the morning and then
have begun on the safe His kit of tools
included a chisel a heavy hammer a brace
and bit and saw These tools he may have
taken from wagon shop, but half pound
of powder, a drill for boring into steel,
peculiarly shaped brass funnel for pouring
powder into a crack and a slender, curved
instrument for packing powder into safe
lock, were obtained at no wagon shop.

tant, is the place of embarkation, and the
Observation-Disclosures is assigned to the
Saratoga, which can take only one bat
talon. The first battalion under Major
Blackman, will so first, with a full equip
ment Of horses, mules and wagons There
is no intimation as to what officers will go
except Major Blackman. All are anxious
to be first.
Lieutenant Colonel Kiger is in command
of the regiment and is untiring in his eff
forts to have things in the best possible
condition. Colonel Gunder, who has been
ON the sick list for three or four days, is
brigade commander, and is a very busy
man. The sick in the hospitals are improv-
ing wonderfully under the prevailing ex-
element, and only few of the worst cases
are content to remain in bed. One with
sprained knee said: "All l ask is to know
four hours before camp is broken and 1
will join the procession" That is the spirit
or the regiment.
The quarters have been profusely deco
rated with eVergreens, trees, arches and

with high winds, for two days. The sun
shone brightly yesterday but did not ma
terially raise the temperature. The after
noon dress parade is always attractive TO
the people here, but as it was supposed yes
terday would be the last opportunity
Sunday to see the three regiments on the
parade ground there was much larger at
tendance than usual The event to-day is a
football game between the Third Kentucky
and the First West Virginia, while the one

lenge the winning team to play here or in
Cuba, as the case may be. Military disci-
pline is being frightened to keep everybody
inside the lines The First West Virginia
is retained here for the present, probably
