BURGLARS At OLD TOW n.
Foot Pads HoldIUp Young Men and Attempt TO
Blow Up Northern Pacific Safe.

Footpads piled their trade in a bold
and reckless. manner at Yakima City on
Wednesday night, but they were re-
warded with meager sum OF money.
Three young men of Zillah were held up
and robbed at the Northern Pacific sta
ton andsthe station house was broken
open and attempts were made to blow
open the safe.
Albert Amundson, Clyde Miller and
II. A. Balchelder OF Zillah had attended
the State Fair and were returning home
on foot at late hour. When they ar
rived at.Old TOWN. they concluded to
put up for the night in box car and
then 90 on home in the morning. They
got in car loaded with lumber but was
| told byysomeone, already inside the car,
to "getlout of there which they did and
came up the track and got in an empty
car. They hadn't much more than got
in the car before two men appeared at
the door and demanded them to throw
up their hands and then went through
their pockets, taking some small change
from each.one and watch from one OF
them. One OF the boys was hit over the
head with a revolver and severely hurt.
The robbers then took them back to the
lumber car and locked them in for the
night where they remained till their
cries attracted the attention OF Clarence
Adams, who was on his way to the depot
to catch the morning train due there
at III.
The robbers then went to the station,
broke it open and made an uns successful
attempt to blow open the safe. They
fired off four blasts, which We're heard
by the boys in the car, but die

hinges. The knobs OF the hinges Were
taken off, also the combination knoll
and handle. Indications 90 to show
that the men were amateurs. They
tried to pry the door off, then attempted
to smash and finally resorted to powder
without boring a hole in the door, as i:
usually done.
The two men as described by the boys
would seem to tally with those wh'

CONVENTION A SUCCESS
"Old Maids" Delight Large Audi
enCe. Proceeds Sos.

"The Old Maids Convention" was
presented in Dawson Friday evening
with much success. Despite the very
inclement weather large audience
was present, every reserved seat in the
opera house being occupied.
The curtain rose promptly at s: Is
o'clock midst burst of enthusiastic
applause, which was almost continuous
through the entire performance. The
arrival of the delegates to the conven-
ton and the humorous episodes Incl
dent to their ASSEMBLING were espe-
cially amusing.
Miss Alley. as president of the con-
vention, called the assembly to order
and the business of ''The Single Bless
edness Debating Society" was begun
and continued about an hour, when
Colonel H. A. Wilkinson, in the role
of Professor Makeover, appeared upon
the scene with his wonderful remodel
ing machine.
The 'remOdeloscope" accomplished
wonders in the transformation of sew
eral old maids into more youthful be-
ings, and there is no telling where the
wholesale changes would have ended
had not a member of the convention
of very uncertain age entered the
wonderworker. The machine couldn't
survive the. dose and was completely
smashed, there flying from its top
much of the paraphernalia accredited
to the old maid.
There was not flaw in the entire
entertainment, and each young lady on
the program rendered her part per-
fectly. The very successful manner in
which the "old maids convention
came off reflects much credit upon the
management.
A sum of sos was realized, and this
amount will be turned over to Profess
or J. r. Hawkins, who will use the
money in buying books for the public
school library.
