disturbed if she had not sung at the
village entertainment and %unfortu-
nately met a t~hird-class actor who,
for the lack Of something better to
say, told her that if she cultivated
her vocal powers she had a bright
future before her as a prima donna.
The thespian disappeared the fol-
lowing day, but his careless talk left
her dreaming of operate tours
through America and Europe.
When the idea became rooted in
her brain no amount Of argument
could convince her that she was not
destined to be a theatrical celebrity.
The result was that she returned
her engagement ring with a note to
Clyde Grendon, her fance, inform
ing him that the engagement was
broken and that she was going to
New York to seek fame and fortune.
Clyde received her message on the
morning of the day set for their
wedding and spent the ensuing two
hours scheming how to circumvent
her plan. =.
At one o'clock he called at the

There are but few disturbances

authorities nowadays, which indi-
Gates a healthy condition OF the NOR
al tone of the town.
Ardmore can be classed as one
of the peaceful cities of the state.
People are willing to attend to their
own business and let others do the
same and thereby much trouble is
avoided.
1t is seldom in a town as large
as this that so little evidence of
Illicit liquor selling is visible. unless
it can be accounted for by the fact
that there is not sufficient of the
inebriating liquid sold to a single
individual to make him unruly or
unmlndful of the becoming proprie.
ties due the public.
Ardmore is certainly a pretty good

$4,000 IN COLD
BULLION STOLEN
Lead Substituted for Precious
Metal in Transit from
Alaska to Seattle

SEATTLE, Sept. 11.-Gold bullion
valued at $57, 500. part of a shipment of
$4,000 from the Washington-Alas
bank of Fairbanks, Alaska, to the Dex-
Horton National bank of Seattle,
on the steamship Humboldt, was
stolen in transit and lead substituted
in the strong box that had contained it.
The gold when it left Fairbanks on
a Yukon river steamer for Dawson and
White Horse, was contained in three
wooden boxes, and was in the care of
the Alaska Express company. When
the boxes were opened by the Canadian
customs officers at Dawson the gold
bars were found to be as stated In the
express company papers.
The boxes were opened again at the
United States assay office IN Seattle
last Friday noon, and one contained
pigs of lead. The seals of the box
were intact when 1t reached the office.
The gold was insured by the express
company.
The boxes were received at the as
say office Thursday morning and re-
manned there until the agents of the
consignee arrived next day to check
up the ingots.. 1t is supposed the gold
was stolen on the Yukon steamer be-
tween Dawson and White Horse, or on
the steamer Humboldt, between Skag-
way and Seattle.
There would have been small oppor-
tunity for robbery in the assay office,
or in the short railroad run from White
Horse to Skagway. The gold weighed
$50 pounds, and the disposal of such
heavy plunder must have required time
and preparation.
The gold was in the purser's cabin,
and it is not customary on the gold
shipments to take elaborate precautions
against robbery.
Detectives working on the case have
made no arrests and say they have no
clew on which to work. The robbery
was very much like one four years ago
In this case $4,000 consigned to Seattle
by the Washington Alaska bank of
Fairbanks, over the Yukon river-Skag-
way route, was stolen from a wooden
strong box and lead substituted. The
theft was committed by Bobby Miller,
night watchman on Tanana river
steamer which was carrying the gold
from Fairbanks to the Yukon steamer
that was to convey 1t to White Horse
Miller concealed the gold in his state
room, got it back to Fairbanks and
secreted it so well that, after his ar
rest on suspicion, the owners OF the
bullion were glad to make terms with
him. He was promised short prison
sentence if he would return the gold,
and he produced $4,000, alleging the
other $4,000 had been stolen from him.
United States Assayer Calvin E. Wi
las said tonight the federal authorities
were absolved from ali responsibility
by the vault being opened and locked
by the telephone company electrically.
The box arrived at the Office with the
seals unbroken, was locked up and
the next day brought out with the seals
intact. The government has no con-
Germ in the matter and will make no
effort to capture the robbers.
The Humboldt sailed for Skagway
before the robbery was discovered and
is now af sea
