MAYHER LUMBER
OFFICE ROBBED
REGULAR ANNUAL OCCURRENCE
Nothing Of Value Taken, Becsus
There Was Nothing There

MORNING d value TAken, because
There Was Nothing There
The Office at the Mayher lumber
yard was broken into Wednesday, but
the robbers failed to secure any
thing of value. A pane of glass in
the back door was broken and the
office searched for money without
any result. 2N,
This fs about four or five times
that the Mayher place has been brok
en- into in the past few years. 1t is
an out-oi-the-way place, where rot
bers might work with impunity. For
this reason nothing of value is ever
left overnight in the Office and the
safe and cash drawer are always left
empty and open.
The burglar must also have used
the office to change his clothes, as
a suit of dirty underwear was found
near the back entrance. This is
the only clue that the officers have.
The town is full of men from the
grading camps and they are still COM
ing in by the dozens. The city has
but two night officers, and the only
wonder is that there are not zen
times as many robberies.

One ofsthe signs of the times at
Evans ID thes great number of new
people who have recently decided
that Evans is good place for "A
home and who have moved in and
cast heir lots with the people OF
that town, which was f1ourishing
village long before there was settle
ment at Greeley. For years and years
such thing as an immigrant car
was unknown in Evans whereas the
records show that within the past
nine months there have been five of
that brand of rolling stock billed to
Evans. "Immigrant' car with its
flavor of Ellis Island is an unfortu-
nate term. and the car would be
more properly designated home
seekers car" for the occupants are
men with their families and house
hold goods seeking a home and are
the sort OF men that make up the
rank and file of a community.
The new comers have been well
come additions to the town and Ev-
ans boosters seem to have pretty
good ground for their belief that
the town II entering upon an era OF
Unprecedented prosperity.
