On account of the closcncss of the

Pay Visit to the Home
Of Thomas ". Lawson.
Burglar Alarm Rings and
They Hasten Away.
Gain Enterance by Window After
Scaling Nigh Wall.

Boston, Jan "a daring attempt to
rifle the massive safe in the private
office of Thomas w. Lawson's Boston
horne at l Charlesgate East was frus'
trated last Monday night by the
sounding of the burglar alarm con-
nected with the doors of the vault.
Frightened away by the intermittent
changing of the bell the thieves rushed
to the main entrance Of the house and
escaped unnoticed by the patroimal
on the route and the private watch
man. Every effort has been made by
members of the family and the ser
wants to keep the news Of the break
from the public.
Mr.. lawson, whose summer honie is
at Egypt, intended to return to his
Boston residence next Tuesday. In an
ticipaton of his home coming a dozen
men have been busy for two weeks
cleaning and repairing the premises
Mrs. Amelia Olsen. for IS years house
keeper at the Lawson home, has re-
manned at the house during the day
and left only when the cleaners hap
finished their daily task.
Tuesday morning when Mrs. Olsen
arrived at the house she found that
the cleaners were already inside. Not
knowing how they obtained entrance
she sought ont John Crowl, the fur
mace tender. who told her that upon
his arrival he had found the front door
open.
Mrs Olsen started an investigation
and was startled to find muddy foot
prints in the hallway. Opening the
4 4; l.,
private Office she discovered the work
of the robbers. The hinges of the door
of the immense safe, in which Mr.
Lawson keeps important papers anG
securities. had been knocked off, evi-
IDENTIFY by a hammer.
Mrs. Olsen dispatched a messenger
to Mr.. Lawson, who at once made Z
personal investigation.
The inside doors of the safe Were
still intact. and it would have beer
necessary for the cracksnen to resort
to the use of explosives in order t.
reach the heavy steel vault.
Further search revealed the fact thai
the robbers had gained entrance to the
house through a back window, seal
ing the 10-foot wall which guards the
rear of the house and faces the Charles
river.
1t is supposed that the robbers were
unacquainted with the fact that tn,
safe is equipped with an alarm Sys
tenn and that they feared the alarm
bell would summon the police. How
ever. they must have known some
thing about the house, for they made
at once for the front door, which lock:
with latch on the inside. In rheil
haste to get away they neglected t.
close the door, thus arousing the @us
picions Of the housekeeper the mex
morning.
The police have been notified of tn,
break and a local detective agency i.
also at work on the case.
The theory of the private invcSti
gators who were at first assigned t.
the case vas that the break was al
inside job and a close watch wa.
kept on all workmen who had access
to the premises.
Mr.. Lawson himself was so over
Joyed when he learned that the rob

Graft and Tom Whittle, two white

which they sawed two large iron

enough for them to pass through
without difficulty.
Craft has been in Jail since the
29th Of last December for the muir

man, near Castor. He is about 20
years of age, about 5 l-2 feet IN

Whittle is from Saluda cuonty and
was in jail waiting to be tried upon
the charge of forgery. He is larger
than Craft weighing in the neighbor--

The Cairo bulletin., 1909-09-21

The remark by the indianapolis
at the lEoard of Local Inn
provements meeting yesterday, that
Cairo is getting street paving done
cheaper than any other town in the
United States, is worthy OF considera-
tion by the people who have to foot
the bills. 1t is worthy of note also
that much credit for this belongs TO
the gentleman who came here to com
pete for the work, not least among
whom is Mr. Hill of the Murphysboro
Brick Paving Co who backed several
OF the bidders. The Murphysboro
brick is all right and if Mr., Hill could
have gotten a start with it in Cairo
this time no doubt it would have led
to more extensive relations. How
ever, Commercial avenue, upper
Sycamore and several cross streets
are yet to be given attention and he
may fare better on these In the
and for the present the peo
Dle of Cairo are to be congratulated

troyersy about free water for street
washing, viz: since the fire hydrants
virtually belong to the city to be used
for certain specified purposes. and
since taking water from them fol
street washing or sprinkling is not
among the purposes specified, what
right has any one TO take water from
them for street washing or sprink

barred from taking water from them
for any urposes except those speci
fed in the ordinances? This ques
