 They were evidently in search of money, and thought that there might be q safe in the office.
 The window through which the men entered the office is about 40x60 inches, and had been broken. The
 
 parties, instead of allowing the glass to fall on the inside of the building, pulled the broken pieces out one by one, and laid them on the snow near an entrance to the office the bur- glars proceeded to ransack the office and all the desks and other things that could possible hold money, throw ing all the articles from the drawars to the floor.
 Mr Hightower could miss nothing afternoon, when be received mes- sage from the officers at Stamps, a small station on the Cotton Belt south of this city, who stated that they had in custody two white men. and that they had found on them a number of stamped envelopes which had the name of the Hightower com pany on them.
 Mr. Hightower wired back to them to hold the men and he would send after them. He notified Sher- if Philpot, who said he would send after them at once.
 MT. Hightower keeps his dogs in a wire pen in the commission house for the protection of the building, but the door leading to the office was closed, and the dogs were shut out.
