BISBEE SAFE ROBBERY
A Stranger Gets Five Hundred Dollars
at the Anchor SaIcon.

The Anchor saloon was robbed Tues
day morning between 9 and 10 o'clock,
says the Miner. The thief got away
with about $500. Thus far no clue has
been found that viii lead TO his arrest
A stranger entered the saloon and
asked for the privilege of writing a let
ter. George Roberts. who was tending
bar, granted the request
The stranger took his position at a
desk under which is small safe. The
combination was off, and all the thief
had to do was to turn the knob about d
quarter of an inch, and opan the door.
The money. mostly in currency, was
in a small sack, and was the bankroll
fer the roulette game. 1t was an easy
matter to place it under the coat.
Roberts states that he left the bar to
go TO the rear of the room to wait on
poker game, and while he was away for
about five minutes, the thief opened the
safe and took out the money.
When Roberts returned to the bar he
saw the man stopped over as if to pick
a sheet of paper from the floor he
thought nothing Of this at the time
but remembers it now quite distinctly
RCberts believes that the stranger
dropped the piece OF paper en- the hco.
for 2 purpose which was to be used as
an excuse for being bent over in case
he was observed by any one connected
with the saloon.
When the robbery took place, all in

was an easy matter for the stranger to
get in his work.
