these homesteads are allowed solely

A DESPERATE
ROBBER GANG
Dynamite the Safe in the 3. G. M.
Mill Office.
A FRIDAY NIGHT ROBBERY
Door of the Safe Was Blown off and
the Inside Sledged, but fortunately
There Was Little Cash on Hand
and Robbers Had Poor Reward.

The safe in the town Office of the
B. & M. Lumber company, a short
distance north of the track was
blown open by robbers some time
Friday night, and about Sc in money
and quantity of jewelry taken. En-
trance to the safe was gained by
breaking the lock on the back door
of the office, and when once inside
the robbers apparently had little diff
ficulty in getting at the contents of
the safe. A large roll of bedding was
first stolen from a threshing machine
at the machine shop next door, and
with this the safe was enveloped, in
order to deaden as much as possible
the sound of the explosion. Then
with sledge hammer, the knob Of
the combination was bent downward
leaving a space sufficiently large to
allow a quantity of liquid nitro-glyc-
crime to be poured inside the heavy
outer door. The cracks at the bot
tom and sides of the combination
were then filled with soap. When all
was in readiness, fuse was attached
and fired, and the explosion followed.
The explosion must have been a
terrific one, as the heavy outer door
of the safe was hurled distance of
20 feet and struck the front door of
the office with sufficient force to prac'
tically demolish it, breaking the
or1a nlIt lower
panels. The handle of the safe door
was blown through a half inch par
tition, and other smaller parts were
scattered promiscuously about the
room. The inner safe door was de-
tached and fell to the floor, leaving
the contents of the safe at the mercy
of the thieves.
No one in the vicinity of the office
heard the explosion, and nothing
was known of the robbery until the
next morning, when the shattered
condition of the door led to further
investigation. By that time the rob
bers had plenty of time to cover theil
tracks carefully, and when the Off
GERS were notified and arrived on thu
scene, nothing resembling a clev
could be found, and the chances TO
ever capturing the SAFE crackers ar
very slim. That the Job was don
by professionals was shown by tn
way in which it was carried out. TIL
attention given to the smallest detail
shows that it was by no means tn
first job of the kind done by tn
gang. 1t is supposed that the thieve
were after money belonging to TIL
city, as the treasurer, Ward Bucking
ham, is employed at the lumber OF
fee and keeps some of the city
books in the safe that was demo
ished. If that was their idea, the
were sadly disappointed, as Mr. Bucl
ingham keeps all the city money i
the two banks.
Up to the present time there ha
been no arrests made, and the al
thorities are in the dark as to tn
identity of the perpetrators of tn
crime 1t is thought by many thu
they belong to the gang of post o
fee robbers that has been infestir
the country, four of which were a
