Sheriff Hughes stated yesterday that
the people Of his county are greatly in

alleged theft, but for the treatment Of
his wife. The exact manner in which
he supposed TO have secured the com
binatiOn to the safe of the treasurer's
Office has never been learned. but a
change was made the first of the year.
At the time Of the robbery there was
between $4,000 and 700 in the safe
and it has not been explained why the
whole amount was not taken. The
exact date of the robbery is not known,
but it was discovered almost stimuli

The evidence that has been secured
of his guilt is very scant, and it is
likely that he viii afford the prosecu-
