"Oh, mercy. no; those striped tails

BOLD ROBBERY
IN HOEGEE STORE
BATTLES POLICE
Nearly Two Thousand
in Cash Stolen
Money with Which to Pay Help ls
Taken from Cashiers Desk and
No cIew to the Thief Can
Be Found

One thousand seven hundred dollars
in gold and bills was stolen from the
bookkeepers office of the William II.
Hoegee company, 1888 South Main
street, about 1 o'clock last Saturday.
The money was a portion of the
weekly payroll 1t was evidently taken
by some person thoroughly familiar
with the methods which prevail in the
office.
A report was at once made to the
police, but the officers we're requested
to give no information to the public,
as private agents were investigating
the robbery and 1t was thought prob
able the money would be recovered. 1t
was suspected the robbery was the
work of some person employed by the
firm.
According to Douglas Dawson, man
ager Of the firm, who is at present con-
fined to his home, 626 Westlake avenue,
with q severe illness, the work was one
of the smoothest robberies which has
taken place in this city for years.
Suddenly Disappears
The money was drawn from the bank
shortly before the place closed at noon.
1t has been the custom of the cashier
to draw the money about IL o'clock
and keep it in his office until shortly
after o'clock, when the employees were
given their weeks salaries in en-
Velopes.
This custom was followed Saturday.
The money was drawn from the bank
and taken to the store 1t was turneu
over to the cashier, where 1t was
counted and then placed in piles near
his window Part of it was placed in
the safe, but $1700 was allowed to
stand No person besides the cashier
and the managers had access to the
office. Shortly before l o'clock tne
cashier left the window for few
moments to go to another part of the
store. When he returned the money
was gone. The cashier had been out Of
sight of the window.
The alarm was at once sent out and
no person was allowed to leave the
store. A search was instituted, but
without results. The store was searched
carefully in all hooks and corners, but
no money was found.
1t was at last decided to notify the
police and also call in private detec-
tives Soon both city and private Of
ficers were on the scene, but they were
unable to learn anything additional to
what was already known.
Employees Suspected
Officers and managers at once began
working along the line that some en-
ploye of the store was guilty of the
theft. A close watch on the men sus-
pected was kept, but without results.
All trace of the money was lost. Still
the managers hoped that they would be
able to locate the stolen funds, and for
four days the officers searched.
Last night they were compelled to
admit defeat. and it was said at the
police station that the thief had been
successful in stealing the funds and
getting away without leaving any trace
behind him.
While the cashier was absent from his
post Saturday dozen persons We're
within sight of the window, and it was
said last night that the money could
not have been taken unless the thief
managed in some way to conceal HIM
self inside the Office.
The police are still working on the
case, but they admit they have small
hope of success

NEVADA MINERS
FEEL SL|CHTED
CANNOT UNDERSTAND APATHY
OF LOS ANGELES
Angel City Natural Supply Point for
Mining District, but Complaint
Is Made That Merchants
Do Not See Fact

Samuel G. McMullin of Rhyolite,
New, identified with numerous Nevada
mining enterprises, yesterday empha-
sized the need of more attention to
trade opportunities in the Goldfleld dis
trict on the part of Los Angeles mer-
chants. Mr.. McMullin has a residence
at Long Beach. He said in part:
"I do not quite understand the ap-
parent indifference OF the merchants of
Los Angeles to Southern Nevada. The
situation has been marked by strange
appearance of friction between the
great mineral belt and the city where
most OF the miners and Nevada capi-
talists would like to make their homes.
Los Angeles has failed to appreciate
the vast fortunes that are being de-
veloped from this nearby district. 1t is
rather surprising that while this great
mineral deposit is directly at your doors
the capital for it's development has
come from the extreme east. Rhyolite,
Bullfrog, GoldfieId and Tonopah were
first aided by Philadelphia, then by
Pittsburg, then by Chicago.
Built Up San Francisco
"There is not a single Los Angeles
capitalist connected with any of the
great mining companies.
"Los Angeles should recall that Ne
point OF making it again. San Fran
cisco recently sent a business mems
excursion to Rhyolite and 1t was COM
posed of leading and well-known busi-
ness men. They came to Rhyollte,
were entertained and Immediately
formed a California-Nevada association
through which they have largely in
creased the transportation facilities be-
tween the bay city and Nevada. They
formed friendships in Rhyolite which
have resulted I'm the deposits of Nevada
money In San Francisco banks and de-
veloped a large amount of trade.
when the Salt Lake extension was
opened Los Angeles sent an alleged ex-
cursion OF business men, and / am told
that three-fourths OF the party were
young men seeking positions. The real
business men failed to appear. This
incident has not helped Los Angeles
I'm Southern Nevada. The mining ma
chinery trade of one section has gone
largely to San Francisco and Salt Lake

HUSBAND USES
HYPNOTIC POWER
PLACES WIFE AND CHILDREN
UNDER INFLUENCE
Former San Diego Woman Tells Judge
Of Unusual System of Cruelty
to Which She Was Often
Subjected

Alleging that her husband practiced
amateur hypnotism upon her and her
children with painful results, both to
their minds and bodies, Mrs. Amelia
A. Horder yesterday applied to Judge
Wilbur of department eight of the su-
perior court to grant her a decree of
divorce from George w. Horder, and
when she had stated her grounds for
alleged cruelty she received her de-
cree.
Mrs. Horder testified that she had
married George w. Horder at San
Diego in 1901, and, as she stated, "he
promised at that time to be a dear,
loving husband to me and kind, gen.
tie father to my two children"
The youngsters were offspring of a
former marriage, and at the time of
the Horder nuptials they were and
8 years of age. Horder, according to
his wife's testimony yesterday, soon
began his hypnotism stunts upon the
little ones.
Bumped Their Heads Together
He would hypnotize one or the other
of them and then, testified the wife,
cause them to bump their heads
against the wall to see if 1t would hurt
them, or to stretch them out stiff
across two chairs to see how long the
nypnotlc spell would mold them in that
position.
On one occasion, according to the al
legations of the wife, her husband was
just too mean, when he became angered
at her, and after putting her under the
hypnotic spell he went out and Sc
cured a friend whom he had known
for many years and brought her to the
house. Then, while he assumed a low
ing position with his friend, he woke
his wife from her trance to let her
see how affectionate he was to the
other woman, but before she could
raise her voice in indignant protest he
cut short the torrent of wrath that was
about to pour upon his devoted head
by making some passes in the air and
thereby putting his wife back under
the influence.
These and many other instances
were cited by Mrs. Horder, and when
she had finished Judge Wilbur granted
her a decree of divorce from her hyp-
motto husband.

employment with another company.
