SAFE CRACKERS
ABANDON JOB
Make Preparations to Blow
Safe in Laundry Opposite
Police Headquarters.
CROOKS NOT INTERRUPTED
ABLE TO WATCH STATION FROM
LAUNDRY WINDOW.

Safe crackers, apparently having low
opinion of the watchfulness of the po-
lice, made an effort TO open the safe in
the office of the Royal laundry at 49,
l29 East First South street early yes
terday morning. The laundry is across
the street from police headquarters, but
the fact that the place had been visited
by providers was not known until the
laundry was opened yesterday morning.
II was then discovered that two windows
of the wash room had been smashed.
Through this opening the safe crackers
apparently crawled. When they got in
side they found their way impeded by
two doors. These they forced open.
After that they made their way into
the laundry office and commenced an
attack upon the safe, which is near the
front windows. While the thieves Were
at work they could look across the street
at police headquarters and keep a watch
upon all that was going on there
The safe contained 500. the money haV-
ing been placed there in readiness to pay
off the laundry employees today. Marks
of a chisel around the edge of the safe
door showed where they made their
preparations for using nitroglycerin.

Plan Is Abandoned.

Something must have disturbed them
as they did not use the explosive.
Instead they abandoned their attack
upon the safe and broke open the till
at the office counter, used for the re-
ceptiOn OF small cash during the day.
1t contained only a few pennies, kept
there for making change. These were
not disturbed by the intruders. They
were evidently looking for larger spoils
Ii is probable that at the last moment
the thief became afraid of using nitro
glycerin so near to police headquarters.
There was a steady stream of policemen
in and out of the station early yesterday
morning, owing to The unusual number of
petty cases requiring investigation. The
safe crackers could from their position al
the laundry safe, see the door of police
headquarters, and they may have con-
cluded that some one of the passing blue
coats would hear the explosion if they
persisted in carrying out the job.
Yesterday morning when Manager g
Fl. Miller opened the office, he discovered
what had happened and reported the
matter to the police
No arrests have been made.

acre becomes due. Thus after the
first payment, the entryman has
plenty Of time to produce and market
crop and to accumulate some money
to make his future payments. Free
quently the second and third crops
will pay off the entire debt. The
payments fall due annually through
a period Of ten years and amount TO
about the annual water tax in some
irrigated districts, and even less than
the cash rental you pay on farms in
the East which will not produce any
thing to equal the income from an

Seek Protection from Lightning
DODD & STRUTHERS
Pure COPPER CABLE LIGHTNING RODS
ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD
ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD

Seventv-fiye per cent. of the losses OF
isolated buildings is caused by lightning.
And no damage is done to buildings rod
ded with the Dodd & Struther's lightning
rods. This is according to the reports OF
the Insurance Companies and is proved
conclusiveIy by statistics.
Don't say, "Oh! well what's the use
of bothering about rods, we may never
be hit BY lightning, and we are insured
anyway" Now that is bad in points OF
morality and economy. Every contract
of insurance implies legally and morally
that the man insuring shall use all poSSiOle
means to prevent loss of his property.
He who comes into court to claim IN
demnity, should come with clean nanoS
and clear conscience. 1t is not square
dealing for man to laylupon his fellow
members the burden OF loss that may
result from his gross negligence. Then
again II is true that the amount OF In
demnity received does not equal the loss
sustained in case of destruction OF the
property by fire or lightning, and then
also. there is a hazard OF human LIE as
well as property.
Abide with the laws of nature ana
nature doors the rest. Have buildings
rodded, fIues keptsound, fences grounded
is to keep natural laws on your side.
Don't forget that we do business on
the golden rule plan. Honest dealings
honest goods and honest workmanship.
No nonsense. One price to all.

A BEAUTIFUL WALLET.
Eden Valley is in the Sweetwatef
country OF Southern Wyoming, q
beautiful location hsmmed In BY
mountains with wide reaches Of beau
tiful land that needs only the water
from the bitches to make It fertile.
The government is placing this water
at the disposal Of the settlers and IT
is from this supply that complete fer
tIlity is to result The rivers that
run through the valley the Big Sandy,
about the size Of the Smoky Hill. and
the Little Sandy, about half that size.
