BURGLAR RIDES AWAY
ON BICYCLE

The bicycle as a means of loco
motion for house burglar is not
unheard of, but it is new in Spo-
kane. A burglar who last night
ransacked Thomas Graham's home
at E704 Harrison avenue, not only
ransacked the house and stole $3.50
without awakening the inhabi-
tants, but put several blocks be-
tween himself and the scene of his
depredations by stealing Mr.. Ora
hams bike. The bike was found
far from home this morning.
The first evidence Graham had
when he awOke that all was not
right around the premises was the
slamming of the back door by the
wind. He was surprised to note
that his trousers had become ami
mated with life during the wee
sma' and still hours of the night
and walked off apace. Further in
vestigation revealed the fact that
everything, cellar to garnet, was
awry. Only $36 was stolen.

Bo.ULes Has Troubles

Harry Bowles, who has added a
rapid transfer to his messenger
service, grew up with bucking
broncos for playmates, but he's
still learning something about
horses. The other day he bought
mare for better or worse, depend
ing largely on his ideas of mares
in general. After the deal was
clinched the recent owner offered
to bet Bowles the purchase price
he couldn't drive her. across the
street. When Bowles assayed that
enterprise the mare, exercising GER
tain feminine prerequisites, deity
removed the shafts with her
feet.
She was entirely willing to ex-
tend her efforts to what was left
of the wagon, or to Bowles himself,
but the latter politely declined and
traded her off for team of colts.
The colts would go all right.
They distributed Bowles, his driver
and ca4t all along the street. Now
he's looking for a nice, tame COW,
possessed of first class recommen-
dations.

HORSE DIDN'T WANT HIS EYES RUINED
so HE TURNED OUT THE LIGHT

When Patrol Driver Thompson
turned on the electric light in the
stall room of the police station this
morning to see where to put the
patrol horses oats the light
promptly went out as soon as
Thompson's back was turned.
Huh. that's funny. I only just
got that light yesterday" Thomp-
son ruminated as he went back to
the corner and turned it on again.
1t went out as soon as his back
was turned.
The operation was repeated once
more. and once more when Thomp-
son thought the light all right it
went out.
Now, Thompson is not a believer
in ghosts, but he was as sure that
light was all right and good as
new as he was that his siXshooter,
strapped to his waist, was well oil
ed and ready for use. So he went
back and took the light out to Fred
Pearson, doing duty as desk SER
geant, and together they examined
it, tried it on another attachment
and tested il.

son decisively.
We'll, not being capitalists or
anything. I'll just bet a two-bit

Then the two returned to the
stable and Pearson attached the

POLICE DO GUARANTY
BAND BUSINESS

The police department is COM
ing to be regular depository of
funds for people who start out to
take in the town and do not care
to risk being robbed. The safe at
headquarters last night contained
5000 of these deposits. The desk
sergeants who handle the money
are accommodating, for the reason
that by taking care of the money
on the start the force may not be
compelled to hunt for a robber
later on.
The amount of money handled by
the deskmen in this manner would
amount to a good business for a
small bank. Thousands are handled
every month. Last night there was
a total of $120050 in the safe. OF
this amount 5000 was on deposit,
$500 witness bail and $607.50 ap-
pearance bonds of people arrested.

Pearson saw his two-bit cigar

didn't want to give in
"Mebbe the screws defective and

So while Thompson walked in
and nonchalently turned on the
light again, Pearson peered with
straining eyes, through a crack in
the door.
Thompson turned his back and
sauntered away.
Parsons eyes were glued to the
opening and he was aching to
catch the trusty who was causing
so much bother.
