Stranger Attempts to Crack the

sAoaAaEMAN GIVES THE ALARM
In Spite Of the Fact That Police Wore

\ Des Moines, Nov. 9--One of the most

safe, was made last night at the
Northwestern railroad depot ticket Of
nee, shortly before Z o'clock by
stranger. who hid from the crowd,
which was assembled on the platform
Auring his exciting action, made clean
getaway from the police.
The stranger took long chances IN
ssnaking his attempt. The platform and
train sheds were partly filed with
people and the fellow had to work in
Che glaring light q, an electric arc. He
waited his time and while the crowd
had It's attention called in another di-
fection, he jumped to the window OF

shed, pried loose the heavy wire net

4ock the door, dash out into the small

dreds. but the exact SUM was not made
lrnown by the agent. He believed the
case to be simply that OF somt one
who was attracted by the open safe
and thought he could make an easy
haul. Even had the burglar taken
more time he could not have gained
entrance to the money drawer with
out blowing 1t open. The outside door
was standing unlocked, but the cash
drawer was locked with combination
and key.
The ticket agent mao stepped OUT "
tfe office for moment after having
seen to the security OF the money In
his charge. AS he intended to return
as quickly dc possible. he left the door
u the safe ajar. The doors leading
into the Office were both fastened with
spring locks that open without key
only from the inside.
EnAranse Was Easy.
During the few moments when the
agent was absent the burglar, who had
evidently been watching for just this
chance, tnse.,ted stick beneath the
grating and ripped 1t free from its
fastenings. So great was the force APP
piled that a heavy strip Of the window
casing came away with the grating,
which only remained hanging by q few
screws at the top. Although the noise
made by the tesrf1,g OF the wood must
have been extremely loud, 1t was dead
ened BY the tbkwing OF Of an engine

was warned by any sound made during
