hart Is getting ready to spend a few of
the millions of dollars that were left
to him by his father, Charles Lock-
hart, the Standard Oil magnate and
intimate friend and business asso-
ciate of John D. Rockefeller before his
death. The elder Lockhart was
also we'll known in Mime
sofa being at one time the principal
owner of the Keystone hotel at Euclid,
the large Keystone farm in Polk
county and Lockhart farm in Norman
county from which Lockhart station
is named. Mr.. Lockhart and family
were frequent visitors to these estates
in the. early eighties. Mr.. Lockhart's
son does not appear to be as thrifty
as his father who amassed the great
fortune. .;..lf
The appearance of the interior Of
his palatial residence at Fifth avenue
and Ivy street which he erected at a
cost of $25O.000 does not suit him. and
the young Mr.. Lockhart has given an
order tota local firm to have it redec-
GRATED at a cost of 100000. af
When old Charles Lockhart was liv-
ing he would have been Mortified at
such an expenditure of money. The
elder Mr. Lockhart during his lifetime
whitewashed the fences about his
place in order to save the money he
would have paid to some one to do it.
and used to push lawn mower about
every evening to save the expense of
having the lawn moved.
Although James H. Lockhart is far
from a spendthrift, he believes he can
afford to indulge his fancies for he
was his fathers favorite and secured
a greater part of his fathers fortune
+ which was variously estimated at from
$50,O00,000 to $150.000.00O.

perfected through the basement and
the robber or robbers must have acted
IN plain sight of people ON the street.
the safe occupies the front office and
the window facing the street had no
curtain, so that the query comes, how
could such an act been performed
without the knowledge of some one
passing? Another peculiar thing is
that the police headquarters are next
to the building entered and officers
saws no sign of the thieves.
1T is plainly evident that the act was
committed By some one having knowl-
edge of the combination of the safe.
No clue has thus far been obtained,
although the officials have suspicious
which they are keeping to themselves.
