A few minutes later he arrested
Buchanan. who was searched and re-
lieved of large calibre revolver
after which he was locked in the
county jail on a charge of burglary.
Nitro-glycerine was the explosive
agent used by the burglar to effect
an entrance to the safe. The joints
between the walls of the safe and
the door were caulked with common
laundry soap. and the charge Of
fluid was then poured into the space
between the door and the safe walls
and exploded with fuse.
The explosion wrecked the safe,
nearly tearing the door from the
hinges. The amount of explosive

cash box, which contained only a
small amount of money. He then
left the place by the back door.

ton Of Kidding Camp of OBJ
nOXiOuS Elements

Tho expressed determination 10

reaus and other producing ele-
ments of population. and the begin
ming OF a wave of moral reform
which will eliminate certain features
OF the life of the camp that have
demorallzing Influence ON the minds
OF the young, was the principal fea-
ture of the session of the Commercial
club, which was held at the Stock
Exchange last night.
The discussion of the moral condi-
tions of the camp was opened by ].
A. Fesler, who first spoke of the dis
use into which the town estray
pound had fallen. After calling at
tention to the fact that cattle are al
lowed to roam in the streets at all
hours and overturn garbage barrels
To the disfgurement OF the streets,
he said
There is another matter ! want
to speak about while we are discus
sing the best means TO improve the
camp. 1t is that many women of all
undesirable class are In the habit OF
going into public saloons at all hours
CT the day parading in the streets,
frequently with those shameless men
who associate with them This
thing should be stopped The laws
should be enforced. and public de-
ccncy and morals should be respect

tees are stopped. Nicholas Schmit-

OF unsantary conditions and sug-
gested that the sheriff be requested
to take steps to change these condi-
tions.
Mr. Fesler suggested that the
sheriff did not at all times perform
unpleasant duties because of the
| fear that he would hurt someone $
| feelings. and for fear that he would
not receive the support OF the pub

| OF Il committee to wait upon the
sheriff and urge him to enforce GER
tain laws with greater vigor and per-
sistence. and to pledge the sheriff
the support of the Commercial club
and the community.
