It Is with regret the announcement &
made that Otto Beckemeyer, for many
years the Eagles valuable and valued
representative in Oklahoma. met with a

meyer was entering the car his foot slip
per on one of the steps and his leg broken
at the knee joint. Paderewski sent ore
Of his special men TO assist his friend
in taking care Of him and they took him
10 his room at the Carey hotel where Dr.
Bowers attended him. The doctor found
the legaments so badly broken that there
was hemhorage at the knee. He spent
the entire night with his patient and this
morning he viii be taken TO ST. Francis

his misfortune with extraordinary cour-
age, although his wound was exceedingly

severe
Mr.. Beckemeyer had spent the entire az
ternoon. up till the time of the accident,
in the Eagle Office and was in very fine
spirits in anticipation of Paderewsl1i's en-
tertainment. Mr.. Beckemeyer, himself is
a very fine musician, and it grieved him
very much to realize. when the doctor in

IN BROAD DAYLIGHT
Fred VOLTS Cash TIL Is RifIed Of
One Hundred Dollars.


Between thirty minutes past 5 O'Clock
and s o'clock Sunday morning, Fred
VOLTS. cash till was rlhed of about 500.
The bar-keeper, N. Heimerman, and the
porter. Vim. Kendrick. also two police
men, left the place at o'clock. The
har-keeper remembered that he had for
got to lock the cash till and becoming
worried. went back to the place. il was
broad daylight. and had been for an hour.
l. was Just striking six as he entered the
room. He found the till drawer pulled
out and all the money gone except 10
cents that had been dropped on the floor.
He telephoned the proprietor. On inves-
tigatiOn it was found that the back door
was unbolted.
Mr.. VOLTS theory Of the robbery is that
some one from the inside got the money
Yesterday, in speaking Of the affair, he
said to a reporter for the Eagle:
There must have been some one in the
room when the boys left They might
have been in one of those rooms, and
Mr.. Wolf pointed to three or four parti-
toned of rooms. IF the cash till had
been locked the money could not have
been taken. You see, there is occasion
TO lock it only once a week, and IL was
but natural that the men should have
forgotten it. / had $40 in the cigar case
that wasn't touched. It is very peculiar,
as it was daylight, and any one passing
could see right into where the cash till
sat All the locks on the doors were in
tact, and showed no signs of being tam
pered with. There seems to be only one
explanation, and that is that some one
already on the inside took the money i'm
mediately after Heimerman's leaving.
