Craftsmen at IL o'clock lost night
made their third raid in "a hours on
stronk boxes in Spokane. They broke
into the offices of the Washington Pine
Lumber company, on Astor street
near the Spokane Falls & Northern
railroad, and wrecked the safe, but
failed to secure any money. They were
frightened away after blowing the safe.
The door of the Office was opened by
n skeleton key, and after considerable
difficulty the combination of the safe
was knocked off with an old ak. Nitro
glycerine was poured into the hole and
was kept in place by surrounding it
with soft soap. The fuse was attached
and lighted and the safe blowers left
the Office and hid behind the lumber
piles to await the explosion. A deaf
ening report followed, which was heard
by the night Waterman, w. A. Warner,
who rushed to the scene, where he
found the outer shell of the safe split
to pieces. 1t is supposed the cracks
seeing a light in the Office failed to
return for the 3d. which was to re-
ward them for their trouble.
Beside the damage to the safe, a
table and chair which were in the
office at the time were demolished
The only clue left in the office was the
ak. piece of fuse and small portion
Of the explosive.

her company's safe, two Others were
"blowed" Sunday morning. A tremen-
deus charge of nitro glycerine was used
to crack the safe of the Springston
Lumber company. at $3.50 Adams street
A wagon load of hay and refuse was
hauled to the Office to put around the
safe to deaden the noise. Rev. G. w
Giboney, who lives across the street
from the lumber company, heard the
explosion and raised the window to
discover the trouble. The robbers, il
is presumed, heard the noise of the
raising window, and, after procuring
IS which the safe contained. made then
escape before the arrival of the patrol
wagon which had been telephoned for
by Rev. Giboney.
The second safe cracked Sunday
morning was that of the Kalispell Flour
Milling company, at the north end OF
the Division street bridge. After knock
ing off paddock from the door with an
AK, the same instrument was used to
remove the combination from the safe
The safe was not large one and il
was practically blown to pieces by the
charge of nitro glycerine used. The
booty obtained amounted to $50 and
two mileage books, one on the North
ern Pacific and one on the Great
Northern. No one discovered the
cracksmen at work at the Kalispel
mill.

MONROE Street
BRIDGE Is CLOSED

The Monroe street bridge will be
closed indefinitely on account of the
break in the concrete pier Saturday
afternoon. Extensive repairs will have
to be made. City Engineer Gill will
have large scaffolding erected close to
the pier and the stone which caused
the trouble will be removed. The cars
of the Washington Water Power COM
pany will use the Post street bridge
until the repairs are made.
The break is attributed to hollow
space between the cement and one of
the large pieces of rock. This was
caused, it is thought, by the premature
drying of the cement.
