Daniel Haley's saloon on Third ave-
nue south near Second street was
broken into at an early hour Sunday
morning and about $50 taken from the
safe. The burglars gained an entrance
through a rear window, and the fac!

in opening the safe by means of the
combination is taken by the police to
indicate either that the iron strong
box was left open that night or that
the irtruders were familiar with the
combination. Aside from getting into
the safe, the burglars disturbed moth
ing in the saloon and departed with
out leaving a single clue behind them.

per ton. This is a precedent in the
awarding of bids. but the city fathers,
after careful consideration, have de-
cided to give the British system a
trial.
