BURGLARS OPERATE IN A
MARKET-STRE SALOON
Manhattan Hotel Bar Is Scene of Dar-
ing Crime Early on Friday
Morning

A daring burglary that has been
engaging the attention of the detec-
tives occurred early Friday morning
at the Manhattan Hotel bar, 17O6
Market street. The thieves, who were
undoubtedly familiar with the interior
arrangement of the saloon and the
custom of leaving considerable cash in
the place, obtained $65 as result of
their operations.
The saloon adjoins the Office of the
Manhattan Hotel. 1t was closed at
two o'clock Friday morning by j. La
Verche, the bartender. About an hour
later Peter Mosher, the night clerk in
the hotel, heard a noise in the bar
and, under the impression that the
bartender had returned. went to the
door and called him by name. Re-
ceiving no response. he came to the
conclusion that burglars were at work
and went in search of an officer. Sew
eral minutes elapsed before he re-
turned with patrolman, but the
thieves had made their escape.
An examination of the premises
showed that the crooks had effected
an entrance by cutting away a por-
ton of a glass door on Fell street and
slipping the bolt. Nothing was dis
turbed in the place except the coin
which had been hid behind some bot
ties on the back bar. In view of the
fact of the proximity of the hotel of
flee and the all-night traffic on Mar
ket street the burglars showed great
boldness in their work. The police
have discovered no clew to the rob-
hers

Official to Canon City

VICTOR, Colo, July 10.-Frank p.
Mannix, Clerk and Recorder of Teller
County, has left Victor, having been
accorded a military guard as far as
Canon City. The guard was COM
manded by Adjutant General Bell.
Mannix had been before the Citizens
Committee several times during the
past week and his resignation demand
ed. This he refused to give and the
County Commissioners were requested
to remove him. They replied that they
were advised by counsel that they had
no authority to remove Mannix and de-
clined to meet the request of the com
mittee. Mannix feared for his safety
and guard of military was placed at
his residence Late last night he de-
cided to leave the district and General
Bell and a detail of soldiers accOmpa-
MED him. Mannix said he was not being
deported. Discussing the case, Cen
eral Bell is credited with saying:
There is no telling what would hap
pen if Mannix remained IN the district.
He left because he thought il would
be facing death to remain about Grip
pie Creek with conditions as they are
to-day. Many of these men are al
most mad and probably would be
guilty of foolish acts II the occasion
came up. They are not sane in their
judgment and their prejudices carry
them to extremes. 1t seems to be now
a case of settling up old grudges and
you can't tell what will happen. We
are doing the best we can with soldiers
who sometimes work day and night. "

physician Of Cornwall, Ont, says
OF himself: For years coffee was to
me what rum is to the topper, but kept
getting worse and worse in health.
I suffered from continuous nervous
twitching, insomnia, restless, misera BILE
nights, nerves all gone. Craving for
coffee was intense, but It put me lower
and lower in health. Something must
be done, so I tried leaving off the cof-
fee and using Postum Food Coffee. The
first trial wife and I were both disgust
ed for we were careless in brewing it.
but we went carefully into the subject
OF preparing Postum and found we had
only allowed it TO brew about five min
utes. and that won't make good Pos
tUm. So next time il was boiled fun
fifteen minutes after boiling began,
then served with good cream and IT
was toothsome and delicious. That
marked the beginning of my return to
health. Now L sleep well. the old
twitching has disappeared, and in

Policeman Skain and Special Police

woman running out of the dance hall
about 3 o'clock yesterday morning and
stopped them. Brown was bleeding
from the wound on his neck and when
questioned he said that Chanez had
cut him with razor. Chanez admitted
doing the cutting, but said that he did
IL in self-defense, as Brown had made
two cuts at him with a razor which he
received on his coat and he showed two
cuts on that garment to confirm his
statement.
Further inquiry elected the fact that
Brown first attacked the woman with

MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP
PLAN TAKES NEW FORM

eral Public Utilities, Will Run
q Newspaper.

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa, July TO-
Webster City's penchant for municipal
ownership is to take new form-that
of a city-owned daily newspaper. This
departure in municipal enterprise
probably has not counterpart in the
United States. The paper is to be
known as the Daily Graphic-Herald
and will be issued from the office of
the present Weekly Graphic-H Herald,
the only Democratic paper in Hamil-
ton County.
Webster City began her career as a
municipal ownership city many years
ago. She first acquired possession of
her waterworks. Next came an cleo
trio light and power plant. Then came
the city heating plant and now this
latest venture.

Lost, by thunder!" exclaimed God
frey Barrett.
And as though in confederation OF
his dismayed remark, there resounded
from the lowering heavens a crack
ling, long rumbling, crisp as the can
nonade from a battery of artillery.
The man stood still on the country
road and looked around him, trying
to decide in what direction lay the
town from which he had started out
that morning on a trip of exploration.
Mighty tropical scene for Illinois,"
he muttered. Zone can't see a house
for vegetation. Halo! Those are red
gables showing through the trees!"
He turned off briskly in the direction
Of the house. He would ask shelter
until the coming storm was over, and
then make his way back to the vii

made an uncertain simmer in the
premature dusk that was settling
down upon all things. Now and then
a bird chirped-a tiny, futing note of
president agitation.
The house upon which Barrett
came was not large, but it was built
in colonial style, and conveyed the
impression of comfort. The door,
standing wide open, revealed a square
hall, with rugs on the polished floor
and dwarf bookcases let in under the
stairway.

When the girl returned she closed
the door behind her. She struck a

chair.
