Post Office
Blown Open
And Robbed
Midnight Marauders Clean
Out Safe and Get Away
About $500 in Coin and. Stamgs
Secured--Work Seems To BE
That of Professionals.

Unknown cracksmen blew open the
safe 10 the Stanford postofiice early
Tuesday morning and secured about
800 in cash and from $3.50 to $500 in
stamps. Postmaster Florence cannot
tell the exact amount until he checks
up his books.
Entrance to the building was effected
by breaking the glass in the windows
above one outside lock boxes. The
robber went about his work in a meth
Odical way. He undoubtedly was an ex-
perieneed hand at the game.
a hole about half an inch in diameter
was drilled in the safe just above the
combination lock with powerful drill
Ready for business now, the marauder
then mixed his "soup'--as nitro-glycer-
in is called in the criminal parlanee-' on

did not use all Of the supply Of explosive
he made. but left some on the shelf in
a dirty white handkerchief. mute EVIL
denee Of the means employed in the
robbery, but affording no clew TO the
robber.
The explosion. which followed and
gave access tn the contents OF Uncle
Sans strong box. was heard by many
people IN town. No one seems 10 have
attached any particular significance TO
II. however. most OF those who heard
II passing it of as loud shot fired by
some late roisterer. George II. Farris
heard the explosion but did not get ur,
thinking Il was some one firing in
Balls alley. Rural Route Carrier Jesse
Manning. who had been out in the
country spending the evening with
friends. came back to town about mid
night. He was turning the corner OF
Main and Whitley avenue when he
heard the explosion. but thought moth
ing Of II more than TO wonder what II
was.
Ii is generally believed that two men
must have minded the job. one acting
rs lookout while the other did the dirty
work. They did clever job and got
away with but little chance Of capture.
There was some talk Of getting blood
hounds but the government will make
no allowance for such expense.
The robbers could easily have gotten
out OF town on an early freight, or the
morning passenger trains.

Body Of
Little Alma
KeIIner Found
Missing Louisville Girl Had
Been Murdered
Remains Discovered In Basement
of Catholic School and Jani-
tor is Missing.

Louisville, KY, May 30-The body
of Alma Kellner was found in a SUBJ
cellar at st. Johns Catholic school at
10 O'Clock this morning by a plumber
who had been sent into the cellar to
look after the water system. which
was out of condition.
The man was Mortified at the sight
that met his eyes and ran to the street
and gave the alarm.
The cellar was little used and posi-
bly, no one had been in it for several
months, with the exception of the little
girls slayers.
1t is evident that she had been muir
dered. Six ribs and her back were
broken, She was wrapped in an old
carpet and quick lime had been thrown
over her body, partially destroying it.
One leg with foot attached was found
buried three feet deep in the cellar.
Positive Identification was made by
Frank Fehr, uncle of the dead girl.
1t is the theory that she was attack
d and killed where she was found.
Her body had been in the cellar for ma
ny months.
Alma Kellner, young daughter of
Frederick Kellner, was believed to
have been Kidnapped from the home of
her parents on Dec. 8. 1909. Police
officers and detectives throughout the
country have searched for her, Her
parents are wealthy and related to
Frank Fehr, the millionaire brewer.
and fabulous rewards were offered for
her recovery. Her parents. almost dis
traeted. have waited in vain, hoping
that she wonld be found, and when the
news of the murder and finding of the
decomposed body was told them, the
parents broke completely down.
The entire city is wrought up over
the heinous CRIME, done by a heartless
wretch.
Thousands of people hurried to the
scene at st. Johns School when the re-
port of the discovery of the body was
made. Excitement is still high and
morbid thousands lurk around the scene
of the brutal murder. F'r

MUCH ACTIVITY In
FINANCIAL CIRCLES.
Lincoln National Increases Capital
And SurpIus--New Bank Is
Meeting Much Encour-
agement.

Much interest is being manifested IN
banking circles in Stanford since the
announcement last week Of the organ
ization Of the State Bank and Trust
Company. Financial interests have
been stirred and business has received
an impetus which augurs well for the
continued growth and prosperity OF the

day il was decided to increase its capt.
tai stock $50, 900 and the surplus $780,

not thought that the directors have def

well pleased with the success which is
attending their efforts to secure liberal
subscriptions to stock. They are pleas
ed with the way the people of Lincoln
are manifesting confidence in the future
of the new institution by subscribing

reason why three banking institutions
should not do well in Stanford. and
point to Lancaster nearly so good
a business point-which supports three
and all do a nice business.
The promoters are still negotiating
for a suitable location for the new
bank. They have several storeroons
under consideration, but have made no

Man Bird Makes Great Flight.

Glen II. Curtis few from Albany to
New York City in an aeroplane Sunday
winning the $4,000 prize offered by the
New York World. He covered the dis
lance of 1877 miles in two hours thirty
two minutes, and came to earth as
calmly and as lightly as pigeon. His
average speed for the distance, 81 O6
miles an hour, surpassed any record
ever made by an aeroplane in long dis
lance fights, and in its entirety his
feat perhaps eclipses anything man has
attempted in a heavier-than-s ma
chine.
