On a lonely night Alex. Benton of
Fort Edward, N. Y, climbed Bald
Mountain to the home of a neighbor,

with their terrible intoxicating liquors
OF which no one can be proud; nor of
the little fight which came up Friday.

SAFE BLOWERS AT WORK
Clever Capture Made of Man
Against Whom Circumstan-
tial Evidence is Strong.

A small safe in the Dewdrop
Inn was cracked Thursday night
but the robbers only succeeded in
blowing off the outer steel plate
and failed to get the door open.
The first explosion was between
,l2 and l o'clock and Awakened
ED. Kelly, who sleeps in the
barber shop next door. Several
people heard the explosions but
Kelly was the only one to connect
them with the thought of bur
glary. Kelly went over to the
livery stable but failed to arouse
anyone and while he was there a
second explosion occurred. He
then awakened Marshal Oliver and
while he was dressing a third shot
was heard. Clark Mosier, Walter
Seyfer, l.. p. Pemberton and
others, including F. l.. Crowl, pro-
prietor of the Dewdrop, were
routed out and the saloon sur
rounded. Just previous to this
event fourth and last explosion
occurred and the party had good
reason to believe that the robber
or robbers were still in the build
ing. l.. P. Pemberton approached
IA back window which had been
left open by the robbers and look

robbers were still inside and the

until daylight before attempting
an arrest. The moon was shining
brightly but the night was chill
and the scantily clad men soon be-
came tired of their job The back
door was unlocked and some of the
more venturesome entered the
saloon. Silence greeted them, no
one was there.
Marshal Oliver and Deputy
Sheriff Mosier then bethought
themselves of man they had seen
strike match short time before
near some box cars in the railroad
yards. They hurried over and
arrested one c. w. or w. G. Carey,
who pretended to be very drunk
and asleep in box car. He had
been drinking but was not very
drunk. On his way to the town
Jail he industriously brushed his
hat and clothes. Arriving at the
Jail where there was a light the
mans hat and clothes were seen
to be covered with fine white
dust. On his clothes also were
Dbunches of yellow laundry soap
such as the burglar had used on
the door of the safe to make a
dam to pour the ro-glycerine,
which was the explosive used,
through the hole made by break

In blasting the safe the fire

been shattered and dust from it
must have filled the room. The
dust settled on furniture and walls
