The Office of the company Is locat-
ed on Florence avenue, this side of
the Celtic hotel. The company is
owned and operated by C. Pritchard.
Yesterday was a heavy day for col
lections, and there were left in the
safe in the neighborhood of five hun
dred dollars. Omer Stewart always
sleeps in the room back of the Office,
and for that reason Mr.. Pritchard
felt no qualms in leaving that much
money in the safe. But last night
the young man went to the show,
and the safe crackers easily forced
an entrance into his room through
a sliding window, and from the room
it was but step to the safe. Mr..
Stewart returned from the theater
a little after IL o'clock, and the first
thing he noticed was that the outer
door of the office was open. He did
not marvel much at this, but when
he turned on the electric light and
saw the wreck, he gasped in aston
ishment, and then ran for the tele-
phone to ring up his employer. Be
ing unable to get the number at the
time, he rang up the police, and in
response to his call, Captain Welsh,
Detective Bud Carberry, and Deputy
A. Haag were soon on the ground
1t did not take the officers long to
go over the work of the professionals.
The manner in which the job had
been done was clear as daylight. The
safe crackers had taken the precau-
tion to take with them all their own
tools, those. of the Office which they
had used were scattered about the
floor. The door of the safe was wide
open, and the tumblers of the com

VIRGINIA CITY
Man Is MISSING

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 80. IT. b.
Meador, who is well known socially
in Virginia, New. is missing from the
st. Francis, where he was a guest
for eighteen days in December, and
again from January 4th to 11th.
While Meador was out for a good
time and spending money freely, his
hotel account was promptly paid, and
the query among his friends is,
What has become of him?" A de-
tective called at the hotel yesterday
and showed check for $3.50, pur-
porting to have been offered recently
by Meador and now claimed to be
worthless. People of Virginia were
unable to throw any light on the sub
ject for the local sleuths. The theory
is either that Meador has been enter
tanned somewhere in town or has met
with foul play

STOCK MARKET
WAS VERY Dull

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-The pro-
found dullness of the stock market
was it's salient feature today. Out
side participation was negligible
quantity. Professionals seemed much
indisposed TO operate on the one side
of the market as on the other. In
fluences which were current in the
early part of the day We're unmistak-
ably depressing in sentiment The
Improvement had little effect in
prompting an active commitment,
owing to desire to await the publi-
cation of President Roosevelt's spec
ial message to Congress tomorrow
and observe it's effect on general
opinion. Bonds were irregular.

RUSH IS ON AGAIN
TO AN old CREEK
(By Associated Press.)


TACOMA, Wash, Jan. 30-Min-
ers at Fairbanks say there Is every
reason to believe that the coming
season will see new life in the old
Birch Greek diggings, back of Circle
City. Many Tanana miners have be-
come interested in the shallow dig
gings of the north fork of Birch and
every few days sees an outfit start
for that region. It is one OF the
odd things about the history OF
Alaska that Birch creek, at one time
the greatest active placer field in the
world, should have been abandoned
at the time of the Klondike strike,
Wages were $40 a day and board,
and new ground was opening up
when the phenomenal riches of the
Klondike caused men who were max
ing money to drop their holdings
and rush to the new diggings.
Today the miners are beginning te
realize the great extent and reguia'"
ity of the pay ON the tributaries o.

lock and handle were on the floor
close to the safe, and couple of
blankets which had been taken from
the bed in the inner room were close
by. A chisel and hammer belong
ing to the Office, which had been used
by the robbers, were also on the
floor.
The work was evidently done by
men familiar with the surround
ings, and the men were sure of their
ground. They had made a careful
survey of the premises, and knew
just how to effect an entrance, and

The crowd was pretty large and much

The visitors put Pollard III to do the
pitching and for five innings he looked
like he was it, sure enough.
But after this the locals got his num-
Der and before they got through he was
flying distress signals. Long Dave Har-
rls finished the game, and for the brief
time he was i'll the box he certainly
looked clipper, and he stopped the scor-
ing right then and there.
Old Jack Harris was the receiving
general, and he is the same old Jack
who played on Georges Creek years ago.
If anything, he is playing better ball
and putting more ginger i'll his work.
Finn, the locals great side wheeler,
did the pitching for FroStburg and he
was III rare good form, striking out 9
visitors, and allowing but hits, and
kept them we'll scattered.
