were unable to get at the contents.
They were scared away before another
attempt on the safe could be made.
The robbers took a few cents from a
till, but overlooked the cash register,
which contained about SIS. They also
took two revolvers, half a dozen pocket

On a recent fishing trip Bob Reamy
lost a valuable gold watch. He did not
discover his loss until evening, after he
had fished for a long distance down the
stream, and he naturally concluded that
the watch was lost in the creek. It was
not, however, as one of the ranchmen
in the district was fishing recently and
found the t~ime-piece hanging on a bush
over the water, it evidently having been
caught on the bush as the fisherman
came past.-Cheyenne Leader.
