ATE BLOWERS
 AT WORK AGAIN
but $150 Secured and Stock and Fixtures of Harrison, Tucker &Co., Damaged to the
 Extent of $500

Felsenthal, Feb. ?. The store 6 Harrison, Tucker & Co, General merchants, at Bolding,
 krk., a small town, four miles
 rest of this place on the E. & B. f&ilroad, was entered last night md the safe blown opened and 66sn pletely footed. At least $l5C IF currency was secured. The G1fe and surrounding stock and Fixtures were damaged to the ex- (6nt of probably $500 or more.
 Th here is no positive clue to the 64rpetrators, but party of six IT seven we'll dressed strangers, Evidently not tue common tramp 18riety, were noticed cooking lh&ir dinner out in the woods only 61hort distance from the town.
 here is some reason for suspect ink that this was the party of cfooks that did the work. They scAttered apparently, and have not been seen since in that yicin- ity
 The work was done in manner thnt stamps it as a job of expert ssYeggman." Nitro-glycerin was pf6bably used, as particles of o0op were blown all over the o0xce. The safe door was blown olfvard from it's hinges, and the caoh drawer was found afterward, ri6ed of it's contents, near the railroad track, several hundred ynnds distant. Sacks of salt and cIothing from the stock of mer cl16ndise had been piled around null over the safe to deaden the so2nd of the explosion. People living near by heard the noise, bn<, hearing no further disturb auee, concluded 1t was some noisy niGht reveler exploding cannon cracker. Hence the robbery was not Discovered until the arrival of proprietors next morning.
 Only currency from the store funds was taken. A number of caehiers' checks were not touched, alt6ough with the other funds; nof were the postoffice money or ot1mps in the same building mo- 1esfed, although easily accessible.
 Similar robberies have been perpetrated at Marion, Randolph and Farmerville and other nearby towns in north Louisiana, in which the sums taken were even 1arRer than here. It is presumed that all the jobs were the wsrk of the same gang.

alleged that the court was without jur-

Pueblo Broker Kills Himself After
Shooting His Wife.

Pueblo.-Mad with jealousy and
love for the woman who had repudiated
him, Sherman 1. Cammack, we'll
known broker, Thursday night enticed
his wife into his Office In the Central
black, and after a short conversation
shot her three times, mortally wound
ing her, and then blew out his brains.
While the wounded woman lay on
the floor beside the body Of her hus-
band she implored those attracted by
the sound of the shots to tell her that
he was not dead, and repeated over and
over:
Il love him, l love him IN spite of
his faults. l wish that I could die
with him. The bullets were sweet to
me, for know that he would kill him
self when / was dead"
The shooting had been anticipated
by Cammack's friends, to several OF
whom he had expressed his intention
OF killing the woman under certain con
ditions. Since his wife filed suit for di-
vorce over week ago Cammack has
been very friendly with her and has
been taking her to dinners and thea
ters. His friends now realize that he
was only trying to get the opportunity
to kill her when no one was around.
Lying on bed at St. Mary's hos
pital, paralyzed from the hips down and
with death staring her in the face, Mrs.
Cammack tonight made statement OF
the events leading up to the shooting.

my little baby was given up by

follows: 1 soaked III tablespoonfuls

hour, then strained of the liquid and
raixed IL teaspoonfuls Of this strained
