Al about 2:3O O'Clock Yesterday morning
five robbers forced an entrance into the cellar
of Riley & Co.'S store, at Centralia, and over
powered Jacob Pollard, the watchman. The
watchman was forced to remain quiet while
the visitors proceeded to work upon the safe
which was finally blown open. They were
greatly disappointed in finding nothing but
books and papers, as there was no money in
sight. After the burglars disappeared the
watchman succeeded in breaking his bonds
aud notified the proprietors of the store OF
what had happened. No arrests have been
made.

Tn" man who was prisoner iu the lookup
yesterday to answer charges made by John
Cantin, and who puzzled the authorities by
st,adfastly refusing to give his name, resi-
dence or any other information concern
ing himself, was arraigned before JUS
ticc Shoemaker last night and a
hes ring showed that the case was
not as serious as the excitement attending
the arrest appeared to make it, The man
said his name was Mike Merkawicz and he
boarded in house near the Indisn Ridge
breaker. The testimony developed that the
man was evidently suffering from delirium
tremens at the time he assaulted Cantlin
and that the chase after the little girl, Rosa
Shields, was due to the girl getting in the
mans path when he was chased by crowd.
Markawicz paid $500 costs and was dis
charged.
The case of John J. Coyne against Patrick
Flaherty was heard before Justice Shoemaker
last night and settled upon payment of costs.
