CAMPBELL COUNTY VAULT !
AND FISCHER'S S STORE
AT MOUND CITY
OVERLOOKED $500 IN
PAPER.

BY COUNTY.

Word was received Thursday
morning from Mound City, county
seat of Campbell county, that the

thought that there was a gang of

the cracks in the safe, and fuse
were found in front of the vault.
The man whose description was ob-
tanned refused to sleep in the hotel
Wednesday evening and was seen
loafing around the court house. The
gang probably had there own con-
veyauce as no horses or rigs we're
missed. At the court house the

but overlooked about $500 in paper
which had been put in an envelope
and placed among some otherpapers.
Fischer's store was broken into
from the rear aud $50 in bills and So
in silver was taken. 1t is thought
that when the robbers left the store
at the rear the one with the money
stumbled and fell on the high step
and lost the bills as they were found
there after the discovery of the rob
berry. Messages were Immediately
sent to all the surrounding towns
giving description of the one man
and Offering a reward of $l50for the
capture of the robber or robbers.
The man is about forty years old,
5 feet 10 inches tall, long, smooth,
red face, cleanly shaver, long nose,
grey eyes, hair origiuallyblack now
iron gray. His hair is cut short
and shows no indication OF badness.

The Mcpherson Country Creamery
has nearly completed a septic tank
for taking care of the waste and
refuse from the creamery. This
tank, which is being made by the
James Miracle Co. OF Milbaak. S. u. ,
is a masterpiece of work. The bot
tom is lOx12 with sloping sides, at
the top it is 20x22 feet and 8 feet
deep. The first seven feet is made
OF solid concrete, the last two feet
are OF stone with GENE Mt veneering,
the whole structure water
and air tight when complete. There
will be two partitions across the
tank and all deposits or solid matter
will sink TO the bottom and the ami
NAL matter will consume itself or in
other words is consumed by the
germs, while the pure water rises
to the top and passes off leaving no
smell or odor whatever. The con.
struction of this tank is under the
supervision of w. H. Miller who
