How about using it to increase the

BOLD ATTEMPT
To ROB STORE
Unknown Men Break Horna-
days Hardware Window
With a Large Rock.
NOTHING WAS SECURED
WINDOW WAS BROKEN AT ELEV-
EN- O'CLOCK WHEN MANY PEO-
PIE WERE ON MAIN STREET
ROBBERS GET AWAY.

A bold attempt was made last night
about II o'clock, by two unknown men
to rob the display window of the ]. F
Hornaday hardware store, SIC Main
street. A number of people noticed
the two men shortly before they at
tempted to commit the theft, and two
men standing at the corner of Eighth
and Main streets, saw the attempt
made.
The taller of the two men carried in
his hand a paper sack which contain
ed a large boulder. He used this to
smash in the store window, but before
anything could be taken, they were
scared away by the approach of the
two men who were standing at Eighth
and Main street. Both crooks ran
down the alley adjoining the store
and disappeared.
The rock used in bre aking the win
dow was a large one, too heavy for a
person to carry in one hand any dis
tance. The window, which was of
heavy plate glass, was badly broken,
The men could easily have reached
into the window and secured revol-
NCIS, HSLlHS equipment duu OIuSl
things which were on display there.
Mr.. Hornaday was notified shortly
after the affair and after an eXamina-
ton of the stuff in the window said
that he did not think any of it had
been taken. The large number of
people on the street at the time makes
the robbery even more daring. The
roport of tho hraolyip win dow cou1d
be heard for squares.
The taller of the two men is de-
scribed as being well dressed in a
black suit and wearing a slouch hat.
He had a black moustache. No def
mite description of the smaller man
could be obtained. The two men
answer the descriptions of the two
thieves who stole horse and rig

Mrs. John Locke Is Notified
That She Cannot Go In
side County Jail.
PRISONER HAD Revolver
LOCKE SAYS THAT BECAUSE
CHARLES HUNT HAD A WEAP
ON HIS WIFE is BLAMED FOR
1T,

Because a revolver, loaded with five
cartridges, was found on the person of
Charles Hunt, a prisoner confined in
the county jail, Mrs John Locke has
been denied the privilege of seeing
her husband, who is also confined in
the Jail. The county and city police
officials are of the opinion that Locke
was responsible for Hunt being in
possession of the gun, and scent a
we'll laid plot at Jail delivery.
Locke was seen last night at the
Jail and he was highly indignant that
he should be made to suffer for an,
other mans guilt. He alphabetically
denies that Hunt secured the gun
through his influence. Turnkey Ray
Harris is also of the opinion that
Locke had nothing to do with the
matter, and says that he thinks it is
a shame that the Hagerstown man
should be blamed for it.
Learned It by Accident.
"The way | happened to learn that
Hunt had a gun on him was purely
accidental" said Harris last night
Thursday prisoner named Forkner
who is a ''trusty," came into the Jail
with his coat over his arm. | sus-
pected that he waS carrying some
thing, and later / searched his cell
and found two quart bottles of beer
asked him where he got the money to
buy this beer and he told me that
Hunt gave it to him. then searched
Hunt and made the startling discoy-
cry that he had a six-shooter on him.
How he got it is a mystery to me.
then searched Locke and | found alb
solutely nothing discriminating on his
person. He told straightforward
story and believe him"
Suspected Mrs. Locke.
Locke believes the order denying
him the right to see his wife was issu-
ed because she was suspected of
bringing the revolver to Hunt Here
| am confined in Jail and they make
this cowardly attack on my wife. Why
think too much of her TO allow her
to do anything SO risky az to bring
a revolver into the JAIL" he said
Mrs. Locke on Thursday afternoon
was given several personal effects of
her husband which were kept at po-
lice headquarters, but none of them
were found on him when searched
Thursday night, though she saw her
husband Thursday afternoon after the
police had given her the articles be-
longing to him.

Authorities Arrest Thief at
San Francisco Who ImpIi-
Gates ConfederateS.
STORES CHARGE TOO MUCH
AN INVESTIGATION WILL BE
MADE AND THOSE VIOLATING
MAYORS RULES WILL BE PROS
EcUTED.

San Francisco, April 27.-Making
rapid progress the relief work in the
city is now under full sway. 1t is now
in the hands of the military authori-
ties and has been perfected and sys-
tematized to such an extent until the
feeding and sheltering of the thous-
ands of hungry and homeless people
is going on expeditiously.
Sugar, coffee and blankets are still
much desired by the destitute and
every effort is being made to supply
these needs.
Rain again added to the inconveni-
ence of those who are in the CITY un-
der the shelter of the tents. The lat
ter are not sufficiently waterproof to
protect the inmates from the constant
drippings during storm, and the rain
which began after midnight this morn
ing was cause of additional distress
to the homeless inhabitants.
Need of Blankets.
The need of blankets is also felt by
the remaining inhabitants. The unu-
sually cold nights for this season of
the year which now prevails has caus-
ed much discomfort and more blank
cts and coverings are urgently need
ed.
The clearing house made orange
ments today by which 1t will pay de-
positors amounts not exceeding $500
on their accounts, and all the banks
are having considerable amounts
transferred to their credit by cores
pondents in eastern and European
cities. The money will be paid out at
the mint until such time as the banks
can open their vaults and conduct
business on their own account.
Stealing Supplies.
Systematic thefts of several tons of
Red Cross supplies was disclosed to-
day by the arrest of Arthur Jacobs
He is said to have made confession
duplicating several confederates and
revealed the place where he had hid
den the supplies. Jacobs is a teamster
who volunteered his services to haul
supplies from the water front to the
various relief depots. 1t was while
hauling supplies that he is alleged
to have done the looting.
There have been numerous COM
plants made that stores which have
been opened for business are charg-
ing prohibitive prices for goods and
an investigation into this will prob
ably be made by the authorities.
