SAFE BLOWERS. Al. DUNBAR.
The Medhus Store Robbed Of Money
and Time Chacks.

and Time Checks.
Sheriff Shoemaker received sum-
mons to Dunbar, a village ten miles
southeast, this morning to conduct an
investigation of the blowing open of the
safe in the general store Of A. E. Med
,hus. During the night robbers gained
an entrance to the store. cracked the
safe and secured considerable prop
erty of value. From the safe there was
taken $35 in cash, number of time
checks transferred to Mr.. Medhus from
employees of the Milwaukee railroad in
payment OF bills and number Of valu-
able old country coins. Mr.. Medhus
does not know the exact amount rep
resented by the time checks, and can
not give the officers the slightest clue
to the identity of the crooks, as no one
was seen about the village during
the evening. Mr.. Medhus is the
postmaster of Dunbar, and the ONCE
is located in the same building.
Deputy Sheriff Hutson drove to Dun
bar to conduct the investigation.
A later investigation revealed the fact
that the checks amounted to large
sum, as follows: One made payable to
Thail Ede $a5; another to John Cergan,
1915: Ernie McCurdy, SIS; Ole seim, 1913;
Ernie johnson, 1915; also notes to the
amount of $500. The checks had all been
endorsed by these men and are there
fore negotiable.

Judge Robinson Of the state board OF
control recently visited the Jefferson
county poor farm and infirmary. Not
withdrawing the fact that the reports
of his board show the insane department.
to be one OF the best and best managed
in the state, Mr.. Robinson INDUCED In
a good many criticisms and ordered
changes which will cost Jefferson coun-
ty taxayers good deal OF money. H.
demanded that the telephone line to
'Libertyville be completed at once, tina,
a refrigerator be placed in the store
house, the stockade removed, that ham
mocks and swings be erected for the pa
tents and that they be regularly exer-
cised. He complained that the attend
ants had too many outside duties and
that they should be required to devote
all their time to the insane. One might
not think that this is the game board
which stopped the tobacco ration Of
prisoners in the penitentiary on the
score of economy and that would require
the clerk of the commissioners Of insan-
ity to swear falsely as to the residence
OF homeless insane in order that the
board may make a good showing. But

ATTEMPTED POISONING.
Mysterious Case at Bromley
Stirs the Citizens There and I
In Adjoining Towns.
John Pierce Comes Near Dying
After Receiving Z Drink
From q Friend.
Probable That Further Develop
ments Will Result When
Victim Receivers.

It was thought for some time Thurs
day that perhaps Marshall county was
to have another murder case, similar to
the one for which bill" Adams is now
doing a life sentence in the Ft. Madison
penitentiary, after having given hin un-
Gle. Charles Russell. Of Liscomb. .
quantity OF arsenic In a bottle OF beer.
The news Of the present case, which
will not prove go serious, comes from
nearly the same locality. Bromley, in the
northwest part OF the county. John
Pierce, a young man about Is years Of
age. married and living in the little set
Element, where he is employed in the
tile factory of William Ingledue, Jr., is
the victim Of the present poisoning case.
Pierce was taken violently Ill In the
might, with all the symptoms Of poison
ing, and upon the hasty calling of two
doctors. who worked over him all night,
For several hours 1t was not thought
that the patient could be reused from
the effects Of the drug, but after diligent
was pronounced out Of danger. Had the
doctors been one-half hour later in ar
irving at Picrce's bedside 1t Is claimed
nothing could have saved him.
When Pierce recovered he told the cir
cumstances Of his having received the
poison, and stated that it had been ad.
ministered to him in drink Of whisky
while out buggy riding with friend.
N a m a nf M N 90 yf
drink was also given, and as a conse-
quence the matter has stirred up a
great deal Of feeling in the vicinity Of
Bromley, st. Anthony and Clemens, all
neighboring towns. Many surmises have
been made also by friends Of Pierce as
to why the poison was administered and
ugly rumors are afloat as to the causes
leading up to the occurrence.
Whether there will be anything done
in the matter or not is not known as
yet. Sheriff Shoemaker was in st. An
thony looking after official business yes
terday, but knew nothing Of the pois-
oning case until he returned to the town
after having transacted his business in
the country. Residents of the village
surmised that the sheriff had visited the
vicinity to make an arrest in the pois-
oning case and crowded about him when
he returned, asking concerning the pris-
oner. 1t was not till then that Sheriff
Shoemaker was apprised of the facts in
the case. II
Friends Of Pierce think that an arrest
may follow as soon as the victim Of the
poisoning Is able to be up and about
and look after the matter himself. Ifian
arrest results it liz quite likely the COM
lmunity will be stirred up to a greater
degree than IT is at the present time
Pierce, the victim Of the drugged. IL
quor, is the youngest son Of Anthony
Pierce, a former well-known resident OF
Marshall county. but now OF Pasadena,
Cal. The village of ST. Anthony was
named for the elder Pierce.
