Jeweler Campbell has various de-
vses in the line of burglar alarms.
One alarm in particular consists OF a
| shot gun, loaded With q good charge
of shot, which is suspended few feet
from and pointed in the direction of
the safe. Attached to the trigger of
the gun are strings reaching to vari-
GUS points OF the room, the least pres
sure on anv OF which will explode the
gun. Mr.. EdmuDds, who has charge
of the repair department, had oc-
cason to enter CHS room of the store
Sunday and in removing the gun ac-
cidently pulled the trigger. The ful
charge struck the safe just above the
door making big dent several inches
square and scattering the shot to all
parts of the room. Mr.. Edmnnds es-
capped injury, but was fully convinced
of the efficiency of the burglar trap.
