After hard tussle he opened the
safe. The cashier had told him that
ne would find the bills in a pigeonhole
right IN front of him, and Mike brought
his bullseye to bear on the place de-
scribed. The pigeonholes were there.
Dut no cash. Mike received something
ike a shock. Quickly sweeping the in
terror of the safe with his lantern, he
! saw nothing but some old papers and
memorandum books. Then ii rushed
upon him that his kindly. coniding ma
ture had been played upon Moreover,
ne considered that 1t behooved him to
get out and away as soon as possible.
What more there was to the trick he
couldn't tell, but he knew there was
notnlng that promised any good to him
so he made a hasty retreat.
The next day he took up an after
noon paper and saw under a scare
head that the bank he had operated
upon had been robbed Of 100000 in
currency. Mike gave q low whistle of
astonishment. He had been racking
his brains all day for an explanation OF
the episode, and now one began to
dawn upon him. The cashier had ap-
propriated the amount announced to
be stolen and had covered up his theft
by a bank robbery-that is, If getting
nothing could be considered such.
Mike was so incensed that his first
impulse was to surrender himself. con-
TESS his part in the transaction and
give evidence against the cashier. But
the more he thought of it the palmer
he saw that he would simply get him
self sent up for from ten to twenty
years for the robbery without making
case against the man who had used
him. He was obliged to pocket his
wrath and accept the situation.
he afterward attempted to levy
Dlackmal on the cashier, who in time
became president of the bank. but was
coolly Informed that if he wanted to
keep out Of state prison he had bet
ter refrain.

Mike Tiernan was one of the most
scientific bank burglars Of his time.
He never did clumsy Job. and there
were few safes he couldn't get into
without making a noise. NeYerthe-
less Mike landed in state prison
and served long term. When he got
out he had something slowed away
and thought he could take no further
risks, but an opportunity so dead easy
offered that he determined to avail
himself of 1t.
He received an anonymous note stat
Ing that the cashier of a bank was
behind with his accounts and would
like to cover up the deficiency by a
robbery. If Mike would do the iob
$4,000 in bills would be placed in the
bank safe for him. The deficiency was
$4,000, and this was to be paid to the
cashier, with which to make I'D his
deficiency. He would not for the world
take another cent, and when schemes
in which he had invested were deyel-
-
ton also for the amount Mike was to
Keep He was in great agony of mind
over his position, but hoped to come
out all right in time. The writer ap-
pointed a place Of meeting in case
Mike would take the Job.
This was altogether too tempting an
opportunity to be thrown over the
shoulder. Mike agreed to meet the
cashier and found him in great agony
of conscience. He said that he had
been trusted implicitly and was al
lowed to do what he pleased with the
cash. If be could have but six months
ne would surely be able to square his
account. AS it was, he saw no way but
this device, by wlAch in the end the
bank would lose nothing. He seemed
to suffer so from the tortures Of con-
science that it aroused a shark Of
Mikes former honest self. He told the
cashier that he would help him out
but the job would be the last of the
KIND he would ever undertake.
All the preliminary information the
burglar required was that his partner
was what he pretended TO be. Of this |
Mike satisfied himself then was ready |
10 carry out the plan. A, night was |
agreed upon. The cashier gave Mike |
diagram of the bank building TO |
guide him and showed him how he
could saw through a few iron bars of
q basement window in the rear. where
ne wouldn't attract attention, and go
right upstairs to the vault in which
the safe was kept. The cashier agreed
10 keep the watchman on duty during
me day SO that he would be drowsy
turing the night, but information was
given as to a way of approach that
would take the man by surprise and he
'ould easily be overpowered.
When the time came to do the ioh
Nike found everything as 1T had been
given him. He had no difficulty in
saving through the bars, found the
Waterman asleep and clapped a hand
lerchief saturated with ether under his
lose. Then he bound and gagged him
lnd went to work with that delibera-
Ion Tor which he was noted. He had
comparatively easy time getting into
he vault, but found the safe a hard
lut TO crack. While he was at work
t the safe he heard the watchman try
ng TO shout through his gag and went
ut to see that all was safe. Mike tight

Mason City, April 1S.-The end of

employees of the clay products con-
Germs of this city is in sight. -Four OF
the largest manufacturing institu-
lions In the city will be prepared to
resume operations on next Monday
when the various yards OF the Mason
City Brick & Tile Company will open
after a weeks shutdown. Yesterday
work began again at the old yards OF
the original Mason City Brick & Tile
Company. The old men were ready to
return to work, and the manufacture
OF brick and tile is already in progress
again at that plant
All the old men have been notified of
this fact that the yards will open again
for work Monday. All the men who
have not found work elsewhere, and
wish to go to work, will be hired at
the reopening of the mills. 1t is the
desire or the Mason City Brick g. Tile
Company to use as largely as possible
residents of Mason City, and all will be
hired who appear at the yards.
AT first, two, three or all four yards
will start according to the number Of
men who report for duty. The COM
pany will then be able to learn how
many men they will be compelled to
import from outside cities and towns
to run the four big plants full handed.
Conference Last Night.
Mr.. Denison met five or six men
largely from the south yards in an I'M
official conference. The conference
was held in the Offices of the company
at the old plant, and an understanding
was reached which will undoubtedly
lead to the return of large share of
the strikers on next Monday morning,
when operations will begin with all the
men obtainable.

AFTER STOCK YARDS TAXES.
Sioux City Supervisors May Mandamus
Treasurer to Get Cash.

Treasurer to Get Cash.
Sioux City, April 1S.-That action In
mandamus or certiorari will be brought
by the county board of supervisors
against o. B. Talley. county treasurer,
to compel that official to list the stock
yards company for taxation as a cor
poration, was the statement made by
d. B. Shonts tax-ferret, yesterday aft
ernoon.
Previous to the decision reached by
Talley concerning the question Of tax
able property of the stock yards COM
pany, it was stated that in case Mr..
Talley ruled against the ferret the re-
suit would be an action in mandamus.
His ruling was practically to the eff
feet that the company could not be
taxed as a corporation, but as a mer-
camille concern, as the assessor held
that it was a merchant organization
and he did not feel that it was within
his jurisdiction to go behind the find
ing of the assessor. His decision was
made the 1st of April, and was a seri-
Gus blow to the board of supervisors
and the ferret who had hope of getting
about 100000 from the stock yards
company as back taxes on alleged cor
porate stock.
