Three Hoboes Arrested the Following Day on Suspicion But
There Was Not Sufficient Evidence Against Them
To Warrant Holding For Court.
EXPLOSION SHATTERED OFFICE WINDOWS

Between eleven and twelve o'clock
last Thursday night the safe In the
office of the jefferson Macaroni factory
In this place was blown open. The job
must have been done by inexperienced
safe-blowers as they put in an over
charge of the explosive. The safe was
badly wrecked. The explosion put a
Summerville telephone out Of commits
sion, tore plaster off the side of building
and did other damage. Two Italians
were sleeping In room on second floor
of factory, next to Office, and one OF
them was almost knocked out OF bed by
the explosion. The two men are not
naturalized and the law does not allow
them to own or have revolvers In their
possession, consequently they did not
start out to look for the safe blowers.
The night man at the P r. r. round
house started out to investigate and
discovered that the explosion had taken
place In the macaroni factory office. He
reported to the train dispatcher in P.
r. r. office, he called up E. Wray Hunt
er, one Of the proprietors, and Mr..
Hunter, accompanied by Policeman
John Spears, went to factory to investi-
gate and found that the safe had been
blown open.
Instead Of drilling a hole In the safe
the robbers jimmied the knob off the
safe and put the explosive In the hole
made by the removal of the knob.
There was a tin box In the safe which
the robbers took. This box only con-
tanned about $500 in cash and $1,000
money order. In pocketbook in one
OF the pigeonholes OF the safe was over
$780, 90 In cash and checks, and most Of
the,ehecks we're endorsed. which the
safe.crackers overlooked. 1t is evident
that the robbers were frightened away,
as they left all their burglary tools, and
In their haste to getaway they only took
the tin box, thinking it contained all
the money In the safe.
Three tramps, who had been In this
section couple Of days begging, we're
arrested at Rathmel Junction Friday
morning and we're lodged In Reynolds
vile lookup. These fellows had
campfire just west Of town. along the
P. r. r. Thursday evening and had In
their possession q coal pick used on
locomotives, and this pick, which was
identified by railroader as being the
same one that the tramps had Thurs
day evening, was found In the mscsroni
factory Office, and that was all the evi-
dence against the tramps and they were
given their liberty Saturday morning.
The burglars gained an entrance into
the mscaroni office by taking light Of
glass out Of the front window OF office.
We understand that this same trio,
one Of whom is cripple, was at Sykes
vile the day before the safe In the B.,
r. & P. R'y station was blown open
couple of weeks ago. 1t is possible they
are the chaps who cracked both safes.

A Word to Subscribers.

A number Of our subscribers are,
apparently, forgetting that 1t takes
money to run a newspaper, Us they
are neglecting to pay their subscrip-
tions. A dollar from a subscriber may
seem Insignificant when standing alone,
but one each from several hundred
subscribers means 30 many hundred
dollars to us. Every business is de-
pendent upon Its income, no matter
from what source nor In what amount
from each source. Without the ex-
pense and labor Of again mailing notices
to all our subscribers who are In ar.
rears, we hope this notice will be
sufficient and that each one will pay
all or part Of their arresrage this
month.

But 1 can't possibly allow you to

On the whole, the next few days
were not unpleasant. Mr.. Dixon called
regularly, and as knew nothing of the

to show me all the nice places, which
was really very unselfsh on his part,
as he had only a few days of his own

With his help l really did Aberyst-

street that he was most anxious we
should avoid. 1t was not a slum either
there are no slums in the town., but
quite a nice respectable looking street.
[ said thought it loked all right, but
he said that 'looks were not every
thing" and that for all he knew there
might be case of scarlet fever in one
of the houses, so l came to the con-
clusion that he was putting 1t that
way not to alarm me too much, and
agreed to give the place a wide berth.
The last day of his short stay had
arrived before either of US had occasion
to visit the railway station again. We
only went then because 1 was anxious
to visit one or two of the more dis
tant showplaces, and he would insist
on my going while he was able to ac-
company me. He was very much
fustered, and looked dreadfully nerv-
Gus when he went to get our tickets,
but I rather enjoyed 1t, for I saw the
horrid official looking at me, and L
knew that the perfect fit of my gown
must prove even to a man that the
boxes and their contents were my
very own property.
"Do you KNOW" my companion said,
when at last we were seated, and the
train had started, 81 should feel very
much more comfortable If you would
