FINISH OFNEW EXCHANGE IS NEAR
Weeks Work for Finishing Touches on Extensive
Telephone RemodeIine.

The workmen who have been engaged
on the local telephone line for several
months returned to work Monday after
an absence of two weeks and the re-
modled exchange is now nearing COM
pletion. If things go along smoothly
without delays Manager Otto r. Holm
says it should be practically completed
in a weeks time.
The switch board, made to accommo-
date 400 phones, has arrived and is
being placed in the new rooms in the
rear of the Brown County Bank and
the principal work now is to connect
the wires with the board. There re-
mains a little cable work to be finished
up near the Lutheran church and th 6
setting of about seventy-fve poles and
stringing of wires on them on the out
skirts of the city; but this later will
be done after the central Office has been
moved and will not interfere with the
perfect working of the exchange in the
other residence and in the business
districts.

The marshal at Sanborn was among

and when the two men left the train
at that point they found the police
waiting for them.
They were taken back to Sleepy Eye
and were bound over to the grand

seem worried about any possible con
sequences. He said, as he under
stood it, it was customary and he did
not think anything could be done.
Public sentiment seems largly a.
gainst the officers as regards this
case. A large number who have been
seen by the Review representative
have been emphatic in their denuncia-
tion, saying that if the prisoner S
rights have been violated as Judge
Webber says, and as Koch's attor-
neys, the affair assumes the magni-
tude of an outrage SO fragrant as to
call for investigation and action.
Most of those who condemn the act
do not attach so much blame to the
two officers, as they believe they were
acting under instructions from some
source. The sheriff practically has
admitted as much, though he was un.
willing to name his advisor.
ANOTHER VIEW POINT.
The defense of the sheriff and the
chief is that is a broad principle Of
the law allows a jailer to take
such marks of Identification as will
enable him to recover his prisoner
in case of an escape. Attorneys fo1
the citizens committee say that iden
tifcation by means of finger prints
and especially thumb prints, is com
mon thing in England, especially
and is coming more into use ever,
day in the United States.
They say the courts have passed OF
the matter of taking pictures an,
| the Bertilion measurements and de
clared them legal and that they con
stitute an assault if the prisoner re
sists as much as does the taking o
the hand imprints.

SAFE CRACKERS GET $500

During the day, also, they must have
taken particular pains to note the
most likely store for their raid, in
cluding all points of advantage and
disadvantage, and to note the black
smith shop and carriage shop of
Kelm & Remmele and where the tools
there were kept.
During the night sometime they
broke into the latter place and took
several drills Of various sizes to use
on the safe. They then proceeded to
the Salkowske, Glatzbach & Clausen
store. Finding the doors securely
bolted they broke out a panel in the
door just large enough to admit a
mans body and through this they
crawled.
The store is in the middle of the
block and on both sides are business
buildings in which there is no one
sleeping. Half block off is Burg's
hotel. The men had evidently noted
this we'll.
SAFE DOOR BLOWN OFF.
They poured the explosive fluid into
the cracks of the safe door and at
tached a fuse, then filled the cracks
air tight with soap and after wrapping
the safe with clothes secured from the
counters to muffie the sound, awaited
the explosion.
It came with force that tore the
door from the hinges and hurled it
across the room, where it struck
against a small platform on which
was desk, and smashed one side
of this into splinters. The door was
also broken'in several places.
The men riffied the safe, taking all
the cash in the drawer and tin box
containing papers, and made hasty
getaway through the rear door,
which they unlocked. They went west
from the city and at a schoolhouse
two miles out stopped and built a fire
and warmed themselves and went
through the box of papers. Finding
nothing they scattered the papers
about and remained in the building
until morning, when they proceeded
west toward Golden.
