SMASHED
THE SAFE
But the Burglars Got But
81 Cents For Their
Trouble.

Burglars who were armed with
a sledge hammer which they had
stolen from the B. g. O. Railroad
Company, broke III the door Of thS3
station at Kiamensi, five miles
south Of this city, on the B. q O|
Railroad last night and subses'
quently smashed the safe in thu
building into scrap iron, and an
they got for this hard work was 5t
cents IN cash and several exprcs1|
packages, valued at about IS.
The robbery occurred sometimes
after midnight. Robert II. CAMS
bell is the agent at the station and
when he locked up for tie night, he%
took all the money, excepting the 5IS
cents, to his home near by. The
amount was about $50.
When he returned to the Station
this morning he found it open. The
door had been smashed into kindlinf} !
wood. Remnants of the safe showsa
ed that the burglars had attempted$
to blow it open. They were I'M
successful, however; then they pro-
cceded to crush it with the heavy
hammer, in which task they were
successful. They left the hammer
behind.
The State detectives have been
informed of the burglary, and are
now making an investigation.

Shot John l.. Stanford. President Of
II CovIngton Hank, in Iss5.
Covington, KY Jan. 3l.--This city,
the home Of Goebel since his youth,
has been in state of great excitement

He started to learn the jewelry trade
in Cincinnati, but after remaining
there short time, in about 1873, he
studied law and afterwards became
the law partner of Governor John w,
Stevenson. Later he became the part
ner of Hon. John G. Carlisle, the ex-
speaker senator and secretary of the
treasury. He was prominent as a
member of the Democratic state COM
mittee for years.
Mr. Goebel's first advent in politics
was as a candidate for state senator to
NIL tho unexpired term Of J. W. Bryan.
who was elected lieutenant governor
with Buckner in 1887, and he has since
continuously represented Kenton coun-
ty in the senate. He is AZ years Of
age, and never married. Goebel is a
fearless man and has had various en-
counters, the most notable one being
with John l.. Stanford, president of the
Farmers and Traders bank Of this
city, April IL, 1896. in which Stanford
was killed by Goebel.
