Burglars Break Into the Bank
of Shevlin Last Night
And Destroy Safe.
TWO DOORS OF THE SAFE
BLOWN OPEN.
Shock of the Explosion AWOke
the TOWn-Burelars Fright
ened Away.

This morning at 3 o'clock burg
lars broke into the Bank of Shev-
lin and dynamitcd the safe in a
desperate attempt to make away
with the ready cash of the bank.
The safe used by the bank is a
burglar proof affair with three
doors and the burglars forced
two of the doors, but the third
proved obdurate and they left
without securing a penny for
their hazardous attempt.
The first door was blown open
with nitro glycerine and the sec
ond was pried open with a crow
bar. An attempt was made to
blow open the inner door but it
is thought that too heavy a
charge was used, for the eXplo-
sion shook all the nearby build
ings and aWoke nearly everyone
in the town. A number of peo-
pie were aroused and looked out
of doors to Investigate but see
ing nothing retired to their rest
again; it is though however, that
the cOmmotion must have fright
ened the burglars away, for
when the first men arrived on
the scene early this morning the
inner door was still in place.
The force Of the explosion
broke nearly every pane of glass
in the bank building and it is
estimated that the building is
damaged to the extent of 500
A number Of papers are slightly
burned but no books or papers
Of value were lost.
There is absolutely no clue as
to the perpetrators of the crime
The safe contained 81, 800 il
money. The loss to the building
is fully covered by insurance.

POLITICS

= During the past few days the
campaign has grown hotter in
the country districts and there
is some evidence that the farm
ers who are at home will take
part very generally in the pri-
mary election.
1t is generally conceded that
Judge Clark will be renominated
for Judge of probate by large
majority. He has made verv
capable officer and is fully en-
titled to a second term. In fact
Mr.. Fisk his opponent has not
made very active canvass, and
probably does not really expect
the nomination.
County Treasurer French
seems to have a good grip on the
nomination for treasurer al
though Richard Leet is making
an active canvass for the nomi
nation. Mr.. French has proved
his ability and fidelity and the
general reasoning is that there
seems to be no good reason why
a change should be made.
An Illustration of how much
foundation there is in the attacks
made on County Auditor Sy1-
vester is found in the publica-
ton in a local paper last week Of
the charge that the towns and
villages had lost thousands of
dollars through the neglect Of
the auditor to make the annual
statement in proper time. II
was charged that the statement
was not made for two months
after the time that it should
have been made. It is perfectly
true that the statement was late,
but Mr.. Sylvester was in no
wise to blame inasmuch as he
issued it three days after he re-
ceived it from the county treas
urer and it might be we'll to re-
mark right here that this record
beats that of any other auditor in
the state. The statement was
unusually large and laborious
and Mr.. French and his deputy
were both new to the work Of
getting it out which alone ac-
counts for its lateness in appear
ing. All the auditors in the
state could not have got it out
sooner than did County Auditor
Sylvester.
