Galley, J. Kemus and Geo. Stewart
Chabense. They came with f. W.

During last night robbers visited the
mill and attempted to open the safe
with explosives. The outside doors
we're blown off and the steel chest
twiated quite badly. 1t seems to be the
work of expertsland a little o time
was all they needed, entrance was
gained through one of the windows and
the robbers had previously visited the
shop of VIM. Magnus and taken a
number of his tools to use in their
operations. The combination knob was
broken from the safe and the pin driven
in and explosives used. The safe is a
complete wreck but the robbers got
nothing for their nights work.
Every person interested in the welfare
of Day county should consider the
court house problem very carefully
before deciding what course to pursue.
There are so many papers and records
of value cannot be placed in vaults that
the loss which a fire would occasion Is
something appalling to contemplate and
then there is no certainty that thevaults
would offer complete protection TO the
articles stored therein. The safety of
public property demands that a new
building with safe and sufficient vaults
be provided at the earliest possible
moment. Bristol Tribune.
Bristol's new banking institution is
now an assured fact. The organization
of the new company has been completed
and the doors will oon be open for
business. The incorporated sapitaf OF

he located in Knott Bros, building, IN
the room formerly used as a furniture
store, where some Of the fixtures have
already been received. The new lnstl-
tution starts out under favorable u
nices and we trust that it may succeed
in building up a profitable business and
IN belpiup TO advance the interests OF
bristol and vicinity.-Bristol Tribune.
