$20,000 STOLEN FROM \. A.T.&T. CO.'S STORE
The theft Was Committed Some Time Daring the Month
 of October Last.
Money Currency the Up Separate Packages Containing S5,ooo Eacl
 Detective Cody Took Upthe Cenpany-Rumors of A

OnOctober 10 last the sum of SEQ O0O was missed.from the large safe in the office of the N. A. T. S T. Company. The package was made up of five other packages, each containing S,000, and was placed within the strong box of the .afe, the 5000 packages being placed one upon the other in the form of a cross.
 The Steamship Roanoke was to sail on Oct. 20. and the day before Cashier I,onl, of the N. A. T. & T. Co.,. went to the safe, which he had not opened for several days previously, in order to get the money within it. which included currency, coined gold and silver and gold dust, ready for shipment next day on the Roanoke. To his surprise and nsternation the s2O,OoO package of currency had disappeared. The most again, but the moncy could nowhere be found.
 The only persons who had tae com bination ef- the big safe were Cashier Thomas Isom and David r. Lane, who until August 2 last had been agent of the company. Mir. Lane lived at the N. A. T. x T. Co.'s mess house. and no one connected with the company, except Mir. .Lxne's successor, Mir. w. R. Good rich, and Mir. Isom knew that he had been superseded. Mir. Lane had ac cess to the store, buildings and office at all times.
 The matter was immediately turned over by Agent Goodrich to Detective Cody, of the Cody Detective agency. He immediately began his investiga- took but little time vor 'ursn'turuesvit mine that no one then actually con nected with the company was guilty of the crime. Necessarily the case was q complex one in many respects. It con clusively appeared that the $2o,Oo0 package was in the safe early in Oeto- her. By October l9 it had disappeared.
 The first step taken was to ascertain who had or knew the safe combination. This was soon known, as stated above.
 It is scarcely necessary to say that suspicion rested solely upon Mir. Lane, and Detective Cody immediately put himself in communication with l.. D. Mclean, of the Cody Detective agency, who was then in Seattle, and it is be lieved that Mir. Mclean has since that time been following the oGse. That q robbery had been committed has been known to few people. including the NUGGET, since November last. The NUGGET made no mention of the mat ter, as it was considered inOpportune to do SO, especially, if publicity had been given to it, it was thought that the ends 6: justice might be thwarted, if not en- tirely defeated.
 Since the arrival of the last mail, however, rumors have been freely cir-

culacted that Mr. Lane had been ar rested in San Francisco, or was about to be arrested, en q charge of having committed this crime.
 For the past two days the NUGGET has been quietly Investigating the re- ! port of the alleged arrest of Mir. Lane. and, alth0,9h,lhe information obtained has been meager, the rumor seems to have foundation in fact. The incom- ing mail mail may, perhaps, throw more light upon he matter.
 Mir. 0oodrich's Statement.
 w. E. Goodrich. the company agent at Nome, when seen concerniog the robbery, said: "On Oct. l9, the day before the Roanoke sailed. Mr. Isom, the cashier, opened the large safe to take out thecarrency.: gold, silver and gold dust which it contained for ship ment 10 the outside. This safe was used exclusively for the storage of sur plus moneys and gold dust. Mir. Ison had not opened the strong box inside the safe for seveual days, and when ou Oct. l9 :.e looked for the money in tke safe he doand that package contain ing S20,000 in currency was missing. Only he and Mir. Lane had the combina- ton of the safe at the time. immed- lately reported the matter to Detective Cody and he took it in charge. I have received no communication from the outside concerning what has been done in Investigating the case.'
 What Detective Cody Says.
 A. J. Cody, of the Cody Detective Agency when seen by q NUGGET repre- sentati"e confirmed all that Mr. Good rich -had~state1. and he added, 'I have side but may get news in the next mail. L. D. Mclean of my agency has charge of the case. No enc connected with the N. A. T. X T. Co.,, except MT. Isom and MT. Lane knew he safe com pima ion. and the fact that no arrest has been made here is conclusive proof that no one in Nome is suspected of the robbery"
 Mr. Thos. Isom, local cashier of the company, is the uncle of w. H. Isom, president of the x. A. T. x T. Co.,, and is gentleman of the profoundest in tegrity, who has won he esteem and confidence of all who have met him. MT. Isom has teen corrected with the company in Nome for nearly two years.
 David F. Lane became agent of the company at Nome in the sumner o, 1900 and continued in that position un- til August g last year. He, however, remained in the store, ;ts stated, piac' tically until his departure for Seattle 1 on the Roanoke on Oct. 20 last. MT. Lane is well known in this section and has mining interests in touncil district, ! al al that such r.umorS as are cull en; affecting his integrity will be received with regret Dy many people.

York teaching, both in the College of

in Pelham. Mr.. Bachelor has had the as
sstance of his wife, and both have been
exceptionally successful. Each has =
beautiful voice, Mrs. Bachelors being a
clear soprano She is also a pianist of no
mean merit. Her husband is known as
one Of the leading tenors of the country.
This summer school of music not only
will teach the art of singing. but united
with the vocal department will be a pi-
ano school. For this line of work Mr..
Bachelor has associated with him Perlea
V. JerVis, the prominent concert pianis.
and teacher. who will conduct a school
for the study of piano playing. Mr.. Jer-
Vis's reputation as one of the most sue
cessful players and teachers, his many
years Of association with DR.. William
Mason, Dudley Buck and A. X. Virgil,
and his extensive experience in teaching
their methods make him an authoritative
exponent of the most recent methods Of
teaching and playing.
In addition to the ten weeks course Mr.
Jervis will conduct, beginning July Z, 4
five weeks course in teaching methods
, designed especially for teachers; also
courses in Mason's Touch and Technic'
and the Virgil CIavier Method. For these
especial courses students will address
Perlee V. Jervis, Steinway Hall, New

$50 asked includes board, two lessons Il
week; diction in French, German and
Italian; sight reading and chorus sing
ing. There also will be room for rela-
! tives.
Among Mr.. Bachelors engagements in
the near future are the Emira Musical

are pending in early June and two con-
| certs are booked for Maine in the same
