-s5EE ROBBERY.
The Kirby Lumber Company Commits
ssry Safe Looted Of About $1,000.

Beaumont. Texas. Oct. 13.-The safe
in the commissary OF the Kirby Lum-
Der Company at Silsbee was robbed
last night of a sum of money ranging
between $1,000 and $4,000. The bur.
glars made a clean job and escaped
without leaving the slightest clue to
their identity or Information touching
the manner Of the robbery. The
money taken was to have been used
to pay off the woods crew Of the Kir-
by Lumber Company at Silsbee.
Mr. T II. Hunter. the paymaster Of
the Kirby company, passed through
here on Saturday en- route to the va
rious mills in East Texas on his
monthly mission to pay off the men.
He paid off the employees at Silsbee
yesterday and last night deposited in
the commissary safe his satchel. con-
tanning about $4,000, which he expect
ed to take out on the tram road lead
ing from Silsbee into the woods early
this morning and pay the men en-
ployed in cutting timber.
This is a custom which Mr.. Hunter
has followed for many months, and
everybody who takes the trouble to
observe knows Mr.. Hunters routine
prescisely. Being Saturday night and
the bank at Silsbee not being open
this morning, and due to the fact that
he expected to leave early in the
morning was the reason for depositing
the money in the commissary safe.
The burglary was not discovered I'M
til this morning, when Mr.. Hunter
went to get the money. 1t was then
found that the safe had been opened
and the satchel containing the curren-
cy was missing. It seems that the
silver and small change was not dis
turbed.
The safe was opened by working
the combination, and the safe was
again locked after the money was tax.
en-, and was found closed and locked
this morning and readily opened when
the combination was applied. showing
no damage was done to the combina-
ton.
OF course an alarm was given as
soon as the burglary was discovered. |
and every preparation was made for a
systematic search for the thieves.
