ESCAPE

One OF the most daring sets that has
been performed al the Union depot
for some time occurred this morning
between midnight and daybreak when
THO clever psries tried 30 carry away
the money box which Is attached 70
The long distance telephone. but were
unsuccessful
The case is one il which two
smooth crooks attempted theft and
left 10 cisw by which rsey can be
traced, The telephone is in 8 private
booth which VIII only accommodate
one ep-son, and while in use the
TWO doors OF the booth are closed in
order 10 lessen the noise OF the
Passing engines
Thus it gave the two men an excel
lent opportunity OF working without
arousing suspicion One man, ac-
corsing to the story tolt soday, work
ed inside the telephone booth. while
the other maintained gua-d on the
outside Judging from internal ap-
psarances the men were well prepared
for their work. for tools OF various
kinds were brought into use II is
thought thet they were frightened
away. for they did not remain 10 &C
conplish the task.
This is the second tr-- an attempt
has been made 10 rob the money box
on this phone and it remains a ques-
ton whether or not these men are
the same who made the attempt be-
fore. Ii is the instructions from T. r.
Board. superintendent of the Union
depot to all of the men employed to
keep a close lookout at all times
of the people who go TO the booth
and the length OF time trey use the
phone. as a matter of this kind is
worthy OF attention
Immediately after the phone was
found partly unscrewed and all of
the wires broken apart the foreman
and a helper of the Iowa Telephone
Company was sent for and placed
the phone in operation They were
the same two men who repaired the
phone after the first attempt was
made. They stated that the two
crooks were shrewd. for they only
ATTEMPTED to rob the box when it was
full of coins.

average mileage per gallon Of gasoline
was 221-2.
Mr.. c. III. Taylor, chief engineer of
the Hudson Motor Car Company, a
few days ago came down from Flint
to Detroit in his roadster in the un-
usual time of two hours and twelve
minutes. With one exception this is
the fastest time ever reported made
between these two cities. II IL re-
lated that a racing car covered the
rs miles In two hours and six min
utes. but there IL no actual record OF
this time.
Mr.. Taylor was accompanied by his
wife, which makes the trip all the
more interesting. Mr.. Taylor believes
he could have eliminated twelve min
utes II he had not run into a ditch
several times going Mt a high rate of
speed. Another handicap was the Pc
euliar consistency of the sand In the
Michigan roads. which makes travel

sidered remarkable. 1t demonstrates
that farmers are buying cars OF bet

By way Of comparison. the Thomas

information indicating that this re-
cord sale In Minnesota and the Da-
kotas compares most favorably with
sales OF Rambierx In the larger cities.

some town that had eversbeen heard
of and come into fame only through

There are many interesting little
tales connected with the discoveries
of great ball PLAYERS. Hans Wagner

the small league agEregati0ns, and
seemed doomed to 30 back to the
country village until hts wise man.

be able to play somewhere else. SO

In fact, nearly all the great onea--

scout whose chance or fate brought
them to the village where these en-
bryonic stars were astounding their

To one not acquainted with the life
the work of scout must look very
easy and pleasant. It would seem
that travelling about the country.

penses paid. was very desirable

as fine as II looks. After q while II

one little town to another. putting UP
lions, spending the greater part of

guing with avarious minor league
