Anericus Marshall Tries to
 Take Pot Shot at Lock Expert

 Even when he understood the situa- tion. the peace officer was highly in- dignant that he had not been notified that the safe expert was coming to open refractory lock. He was so mad about the affair when he discov- cred that he had been fooled that he wanted to whip the cashier. Mean while. the safe expert peeped out from behind a steel door, not knowing what minute the shooting would begin. He got very nervous.
 The marshal was at last persuaded to go home without using his Win chester. Then the safe expert went back to hammering and tinkering with the lock. sfN t
 MT. Todd got a telegraphic call to Americus Friday from bank which had not been able to open It's doors on that day His train got there early in the night and he was met at the depot by the cashier. The return train for Montgomery passed Americus early the next morning, and the Montgomery man suggested that he do the work at night to catch the early morning train. The cashier took him to the bank and introduced, him to the refractory lock. At that time every gas jet in the bank was It. but while Mir. Todd was hard at work on the vault door the cashier, to save money, turned of every jet but the one near the door.
 Then the marshal came along and saw a strange man with kit of tools breaking into the vault under that one gas jet. Then came the excitement.
 MT Todd found that the cashier had set his time lock for seventy-two hours and then tried to get into his vault the next morning. But the time lock was faithful to its trust and refused to open until it's time limit had expired. Mir. Todd, after the marshal had been per- suaded not to shoot him, tinkered with the lock for 8 couple of hours and had the bank ready to do business the next morning.
