somewhere in the neghborhood of $1,000.
There were two men who did the job and

The burglars entered the bank by a key
without attracting any attention and blew
open the safe with dynamite and nitro
gycerine. They left town with buggy and
team which were stolen from a nearby
livery barn. They proceeded west about two
miles and left the team at a school house
near Jewell Junction. 1t was Z o'clock in

was discovered. The sheriff of Hamilton

zELaYA MOVES A CAPITAL
Takes it with Him When He Goes
FisitinE-Concession Granted
by Nicaragua.

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, April 22.-(Corre
spondence of the Associated Press. )-Consid-
cradle preparations were made by govern
ment officials for the arrival at the puebla OF
Jenotepe today of President Zelaya and his
cabinet, who expect to make that town the
capital for month or so. Speeches wers
made in laINation Of Zelaya and dinner
and ball were given in his homer. The ex-
penses of all such affairs are usually paid by
the government in these Central American
states.
The reported sale of the government rail-
roads, steamboats, and machine shops to an
English syndicate for $4,000 in silver
(soles) proves to have been erroneous. 1t
now appears that an Englishman has OBJ
tained from the government an eight months
option on the properties at a price about
twice that at which they had been offered to
the Maritime Canal company of Nicaragua.
Rumors are still current that President
Zelaya intends to resign and visit the United
States and Europe as soon as the govern
ment can get enough money.
On April 10 the government of Nicaragua
conceded to Herbert Savage of Saginaw,
Mich, the right to utilize as much of the
waters of Tipitape, a river having about
sixteen feet fall, connecting Lakes Nicaragua
and Maragua, as may be needed for operat-
ing lectric power and lights at the locality
and in the cities of Managua and Granada,
each about twenty miles distant from the
river. The concession is subject, however,
to the previous rights granted to the Mari
time Canal company The concessionaire
has the right to elevate the water in Lake
Managua about eight feet by dam across
Rio Tiptape if he can do so. during the
short rainy season of each year, as a pro-
vision against the evaporation from the
present level of the lake of over five inches
