LITTLE WILLIE
A BOLD ROBBER
A Young Md Blows the
Safe in Knowles q
R0land's Office.


ing stunt pulled off in her midst
last Sunday night about 10
O'Clock. The scene of the explos-
ion was in the Office Of Knowles
& Roland's machine shop.
Some six weeks ago a boy
about II years old, and giving
the name of Willie Harvey, struck
Deming and hired to Knowles
4 Roland, saying he was anx-
ious to learn the machinist S
trade. The firm took the boy in
and Capt. Knowles boarded and
clothed him and otherwise treated
him kindly.
Young Harvey proved to be a
very apt pupil and was rapidly
mastering his supposed chosen
profession when he got and
nursed the idea in his head un.
til 1t had fully matured, that it
would be a capital stroke to blow
the safe of his employers, steal
their money and skip for tall
timber.
OF course, this would be a most
ungrateful act for little Willie to
do, but he didn't really have
time to consider it in that phase,
so accordingly he put his plans
into execution last Sunday night
and did a neat job of safe blow
ing.
The safe was evidently only
on the day catch, as the boy burg
larry didn't drill the safe door
in order to blow it. He poured
the explosive fluid through a
crack over the top Of the safe
door and while the blowout was
heard by q number in the vi
cinity of the explosion, it was not
strong enough to wrench the
safe door off or very badly dam.
age the safe otherwise. The jar
alone rendered the safe easy to
open and the boy robber quickly
threw the door back and went
through the contents of the safe.
The safe contained about $500
in cash and several checks, be-
sides the books and valuable
papers, but the boy took the
cash only and left for unknown
parts.
Young Harvey had his plans
nicely laid, as he chose a time
when the telegraph wires were
out Of commission by reason of
the telegraph strike and it would
be impossible to notify officers of
neighboring towns to be on the
lookout.
The robbery was not discover
ed until 8 o'clock Monday morn
ing, when Mr.. Roland opened
up for business.
Harvey said he came here from
Denver. where he said his moth
er resides. He is a quiet, agree
BILE young man, and has no out
wardly appearance of a crook.
However, he is evidently a pretty
hard citizen.
Up to our press hour nothing
had been heard of Harvey, al
though our officers are pulling
every string they know of to ap-
prehend the young culprit.
