was exceedingly heavy and is believed
to have injured the Notifications at this

pert after examining safes and vaults

Some excitement was caused al police
headquarters yesterday afternoon by
the wild behavior of a private of the
state militia, who attempted to shoot
Detective Harry Nichols and was sus-
pected of having planned the assassina-
ton Of Chief Dinan. The soldier, whose
name is Thomas F.. McGinn, is now
under arrest at his regimentaI head
quarters and will be held until his san
ity can be investigated.
Chief of Police Dinan, in order to
check any carelessness with firearms,
has issued the following order to COM
pany commanders:
lowing to the carelessness of per-
sons granted the privilege of carrying
firearms you are instructed to have the
officers of your command notify said
persons to discontinue carrying weapons
of any description as it is entirely un-
necessary. There is no laWlesSness
nor trouble of any kind to be feared
at this time"
