Italian saIoonist in Glen Elk Victim
Of His BooIdxeeper Who
Takes French Leave.
sTEALs Two HuNDRED DoLLARs
Writes Back From Philadelphia Why
He Goes GIimmering
From This City.

Ernest onestinghel, North
Fourth street saloonist. is the victim
of safe robbery of considerable pro-
portions. and his former bookkeeper.
vitorio Viola. is accused by him of
the robbery.
The bookkeeper disappeared some
time Friuay night, But Mr.. onesting-
hel did not know Of his leaving until
Saturday morning. He took with
him $500 in money at least. a valu-
able watch and other articles that
did not belong to him.
The circumstances indicate the
robbery was premeditated, as Viola
claimed his mother was sick in
Genoa, Italy, and he asked onesting-
hel for $40 to send her. Friday he
was given the money and told to go
to the postofice and send money
order to his mother. Full instruc-
tions were given him by Mr.. One
stinghel how to send it. but It seems
he did not even go to the postofiice.
Mr.. onestinghel could not account
for the mans whereabouts until he
received letter from him at Phila-
delphia Tuesday morning, which
stated that he left on account OF
Peter Fiore, with whom he could not
agree. and also because he engaged
himself to keep the books at the
saloon and not to be porter. too.
Fiore was like the missing man an
employe at the saloon. The porter
is in the hospital sick. Viola ex-
pressed dissatisfaction at doing the
porter's work several days ago. but
onestinshel assured him he would
get another man soon for that work,
IL the regular porter did not soon
recover.
Last Thursday onestinghel taught
Viola the combination of the safe
and following this came his request
for $40 Friday. presumably for the
purpose of second lesson in open
ing the safe, and Saturday morning
onestinghel found the bookkeeper,
money, watch and other things gone.
onestinghel is taking counsel as
70 what to do, but has not as yet
definitely decided on any line of ac-
tion against the bookkeeper. He
win likely take steps to have him
apprehended and brought back here
to answer felony charge.

A HIGH NOON ROBBERY.
Thieves Rife the Katy Ticket Office
and Escape.

Gas City. Kan, March 15.-Some
time between 1880 and 12:15 Thurs
day the two money drawers at the M.
K. & T. depot in Gas City were forced
open with a crowbar. 1t is variously
estimated that an amount from a few
dollars to over 500 was taken. Mr..
Scott, the agent, first reported that the
large amount was missing, but it was
later stated that the amount of money
secured by the thieves was small.
Agent E. E. Scott and Freight Clerk
L. H. Hobson locked up the. office at
noon and went to dinner as is their
custom. Mr. Scott took with him $500
and deposited it in the bank, leaving
thirty cents in one drawer, a smaller
amount in another drawer and $28 in
a third.
Mr.. Hobson, returning before one
o'clock, saw an unknown man and
woman making their exit through the
south window and walking rapidly to
single covered buggy tied near the
depot. Mr.. Hobson was so excited at
seeing the man and woman coming
out of the window. that he did not
think to call for help at that time, but
entered the depot hurriedly. When he
saw the rif1ed drawers he called the Of
ficers.
He came out of the depot just in
time to see the robbers making their
escape. driving to the north very rap
idly. Mr.. Hobson then notified Mar
shall Fngle who in turn notified the
lola officers to be on the watch for the
robbers.
